Armagh (Civ6)

Armagh is a religious city-state in Civilization VI. It was added in the Vikings Scenario Pack.
== Strategy ==
Armagh allows its Suzerain's Builders to build the Monastery improvement. Before the release of Gathering Storm, this is a largely useless improvement, even for a Religious Victory player. A yield of 2 per improvement is negligible, and withdrawing all your religious units to your territory to heal up is impractical when considering how narrow the window of opportunity for a Religious Victory is. On a Standard-sized or larger map, no one should ever spend turns to march their religious units to a civilization halfway across the map, get them damaged, march them back home to heal and mobilize them again. Armagh's Suzerainty, therefore, should almost always be dead last on your priority list. You may send them some s to earn if there are no other religious city-states; otherwise, you can ignore this one, since this is arguably the worst religious city-state before Gathering Storm.
After the release of Gathering Storm, however, the Monastery receives a buff that makes it borderline ridiculously overpowered: it provides 1 per improvement and 2 with Colonialism, with additional based on adjacent s. Remember, 1 in the early game is worth 2 Farms, Plantations, Pastures, and/or Camps, and the Monastery's only placement restriction is that it can't be next to another Monastery. This improvement alone can single-handedly solve every issue that a civilization can run into, so civilizations with bonuses like India, the Khmer, and the Inca should definitely compete for Suzerainty of Armagh.

== Trivia ==
* Armagh's city-state symbol is a shamrock, a plant species that serves as a symbol of luck in Ireland. St. Patrick used the shamrock as a metaphor to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish people.
*With Scotland's inclusion in Rise and Fall, Armagh's architecture during the Classical-Renaissance eras was changed from Germany's to Scotland's.
