Printing (Civ6)

Printing is a Renaissance Era technology in Civilization VI. It can be hurried by building 2 Universities.
== Strategy ==
The invention of the printing press is a milestone of modern society (despite modern society not recognizing that). Printing allows for knowledge to be distributed en masse via inexpensive, mass-produced books. Consequently, it makes modern education possible. Discovering printing also brings the fame of your civilization's writings to the world, and allows you better diplomatic access to them.
After researching Printing, a civilization's cities will apply 50% more religious pressure if it chooses Scripture as an Enhancer Belief for its religion.
This tech's importance is often underestimated - it only unlocks one wonder, and has some good effects on and the diplomatic front. This wonder, however, is one of the best in the entire game, being the second that adds a Policy Card slot (and a Wildcard slot at that); the yields are increased for the earliest available type of Great Works, allowing a civ to get a solid boost towards a Culture Victory; and finally, another level of Diplomatic Visibility now has even military implications! What's more, Printing is fairly easy to beeline for once you get Engineering.
All this should make Printing a prime candidate to be the first Renaissance Era tech you get. Once you discover it, start building the Forbidden City right away (its positioning requirements are ridiculously easy to fulfill) - you won't be sorry, whatever victory you're pursuing.
