The best Civ 6 Leader for each victory type

Looking for a list of the best Civ 6 leaders? Sid Meier's Civilization VI is the latest in the beloved series of turn-based strategy games. For those new to the series, the premise is as follows: assume the position of a notorious historical leader, and carry your people all the way from the early days of man to world domination with your strategy, diplomacy, and occasionally, large battering ram. You'll be up against a motley crew of other nations vying for space and resources on the map, and your job is to meet the victory conditions for one of the victory types before one of your rivals does.

Before you challenge your friends to a weekend-long Civ-athon, or decide to test your mettle against the AI in singleplayer, we'd recommend getting to grips with every type of victory available, and trying them out so you know how to secure them - or how to prevent them. To that end, we've made you a guide to the best Civ 6 leaders for each victory type.

What are the victory types in Civ 6? You can go for one of the following: Science, Culture, Diplomacy, Religion, Domination, and Score. Basically: become king of space (Science), make everyone think you're the coolest (Culture), make everyone think you're the most sensible (Diplomacy), make everybody worship you (Religion), make everybody else dead (Domination), or make everybody else give up because it's 3 am and they just want to go to bed (Score). Here are the best Civs with which to secure each victory, excluding Score, which is won by whoever has the highest score by 2050 AD. We've chosen them based on how well they perform in the standard Civilization 6 game mode - no comets raining down from the sky or vampires scuttling around from the Apocalypse or Secret Societies modes, thank you very much.
