• No, Research Agreement, in diplomacy you can do that with an opponent to both gain tech boosts for a tech. –  Daan Commented Jan 10, 2019 at 10:53
• 1 Try looking in the diplomacy menu. Sorry I can't be much help but usually everything you are trading or exchanging with the AI is listed there. –  Eric Commented Jan 12, 2019 at 19:28

In the top/top left there is a tab called reports. Select that and in there you can see what items you are currently trading out and getting in - under the current deals tab. It's the same place you can see yields, units etc.

(This is what I found out after launching the game and trying a lot of different buttons)

Here is also a mod you could use.

Civilization 6: Difficulty Levels, Explained

Fallout 5's rumored setting could feel very familiar for one faction, fortnite: how to get cyclops, colossus, and jubilee (x-men bundle).

In Civilization 6, players guide their chosen people from stone clubs and furs to supercomputers and space travel, all the time trying to build a strong and prosperous society. Along the way, they'll have to contend with many of Civilization 6 's other Leaders, either making helpful friends or lasting enemies.

While there can only be one winner, Leaders in Civilization 6 are encouraged to trade and engage in diplomacy with each other throughout the game. The ultimate form of this diplomacy is the Alliance, a binding contract of mutual aid and protection.

How to Form Alliances in Civilization 6

There are two requirements that must be met for players to form an Alliance in Civilization 6 . First, both civilizations that want to enter the Alliance must have researched the Civil Service Civic. This Civic is found in the Medieval Era directly after Defensive Tactics and Recorded History. Additionally, the two civilizations must already be Declared Friends, which is a less formal and less binding precursor to the Alliance system.

Forming an Alliance with another player requires only these two factors and the willingness of each player. On the other hand, forming an Alliance with an AI Leader can be a lot trickier. All AI Leaders in Civilization 6 have their own personality. Their opinion of the player will be based on a combination of that personality, the player's actions, and other factors such as the player's strength and proximity. This means that players may have to work hard to convince a suspicious AI Leader to accept an Alliance. They may need to make concessions and offer one-sided trade deals, as well as playing to their particular personality. This personality can be discovered through Diplomatic Visibility.

The Benefits of Alliances in Civilization 6

In the base game of Civilization 6 , the benefits of Alliances are fairly straightforward. Firstly, they offer Open Borders and Shared Visibility, while also enabling Research Agreements and Defense Pacts. With AI civilizations, base game Alliances also make the AI Leader more likely to agree to other diplomatic proposals.

However, the Rise and Fall expansion greatly increases the importance and strength of Alliances. It also divides alliances into five different kinds, each with their own bonuses. A civilization can only be in one Alliance of each kind at a time. For example, a player who has formed a Research Alliance will have to choose a different kind of Alliance if they decide to ally with a second civilization.

How to Grow an Alliance in Civilization 6

When Civilization 6 Rise and Fall players form one of the five Alliance types, they and their ally will immediately gain the level 1 effects of that Alliance type. In order to unlock the higher level bonuses, which are significantly more impactful, each member of the Alliance must generate as many Alliance Points as possible.

By default, any Alliance generates 1 Alliance Point per turn. However, there are several ways that players can accelerate their progress. Players receive the following Alliance Points for the following actions:

• +0.25 Points for sending at least one Trade Route to an ally (+0.5 for Cleopatra)
• +0.25 Points for receiving at least one Trade Route from an ally (+0.5 for Cleopatra)
• +0.25 Points with the Wisselbanken or Arsenal of Democracy Policy cards (or Democracy Government in Gathering Storm)
• +0.5 Points for Leaders who are allied with Gilgamesh and at war with the same enemy
• +0.5 Points for being members of the same Secret Society
• +0.5 Points if either ally has Ibrahim as a Governor with the Khass-Oda-Bashi title

Alliances only last 30 turns on Standard speed, so each member has a strong incentive to work hard to reach Level 3. Finally, while a strong Alliance can prove to be a major benefit, players must also be ready to abandon the agreement if their ally is beginning to outpace them. The Civilization 6 victory conditions are a race to the finish line, and an ally of equal or greater strength can easily turn into a rival once players reach the final stretch.

Civilization 6 is available for iOS, Android, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.

In Civilization VI , there are many technologies that your civilization will be able to research and enhance throughout its existance. From the beginning of understanding mining, to robotics, nanotechnology, and nuclear fusion, all varieties of technology can be learned. 

Researching various technologies grants science points, passive bonuses, and the ability to create new units , buildings , or complete specific quests . Technologies can also be boosted by completing a mini-quest, allowing you to research them in a faster amount of turns.

Below is a list of all currently known Techs in Civilization VI.

Need some clarification on the Research Agreement

Despite having read several googled explanations on how the R.A. works, I still don't seem to understand this feature fully. For example, when I get a message that the research agreement is over and I expect the promised boost to my research, I don't see it. Let's say I have 11 turns left before I discover a tech, and next turn after the R.A. is over I got 10 turns left. So where is the damn boost? Thanks people.  

Are you playing vanilla, G&K or BNW?

If the AI is an era or more behind you in BNW, definitely not worth it. But if they are in the same era, then you'll get more beakers than the gold you spent. You'll still get a better return cash buying a science building, but there are points at which you've already have all tech buildings possible and the next one is a long way in the future.

According to the civ5 wiki Porcelain Tower and Scientific revolution both give +%50 each.  

Individually, each of PT and SR increases the base yield of RAs by 50%, and together they double the base yield (100%). Since the base yield is 50% of the maximum, each of PT and SR contributes 25 percentage points to the total. In the xml, this is reflected by the following line in each: <MedianTechPercentChange>25</MedianTechPercentChange>  

I do sort of feel that BnW killed the Research Agreement feature. I think it was fine to have it require DoF, because that both serves as a limitation to the number of RAs you can and will form (which was out of hand before) and because it gives you an incentive to form a DoF. However, given that the output is now so bad that it's generally not worth the gold cost, they have just killed a feature without succesfully making DoF more meaningful.

If an RA saves you just two turns, the gold:beaker value is on par with what you get from rush buying science buildings.

• Estimate that rush buying a science building in a weak production gets you about 12 turns worth of extra beakers in that city.
• Assume you have four cities, and this city is a quarter of your science, so that's roughly 3 turns of empire science.
• For the cost of a science building, you could afford at least 2 RAs.
• Value each RA as shaving two turns off research time, so each RA is worth 2 turns of empire science.
• 2 RAs x 2 turns of empire science == 4 turns of empire science.
• 4 turns of empire science > 3 turns of empire science.
• qed: RAs have better gold:beaker value than rush buying science buildings.

@beetle You can't compare this in this way. Only one sentence - RA's are delayed beakers - you pay for them and wait 30 turns, with rush buy you have your science NOW!  

Please explain how the beakers being delayed invalidates my logic. I think the metric of “turns of empire science” finesses the issue. Even when you are comparing buying a science building on turn (N) with kicking off two RAs that turn, the RAs still net more beakers for the gold. Is three turns of empire science at turn (N) really worth more than four turns of empire science at turn (N+30)? But the compare both at turn (N) approach is not fair to RAs. There are very discreet points for rush buying science buildings. RAs have the strong advantage of being a continuing option after NC, so you can get them rolling early. A fair comparison is turn (N) universities to turn (N minus something) RAs. Since RAs are cheaper than buildings, a player does not have to save up as long, and can spend the gold sooner. We all know that gold spent earlier is more valuable than that spent later.  

Just as gold now is more valuable than gold later, early beakers are more valuable than later beakers, especially if they get you to key tech points more quickly. For example, we all know that GSs will generate far more beakers the later they are bulbed, but it can still be advantageous to bulb a GS to, e.g., get Scientific Theory or Plastics that much more quickly or to jump to the Modern Era to grab an early Ideology. Even if the early science building does not enhance the yield of your RA (since your RA partner is generating fewer beakers), the extra raw science for those 30 turns should not be dismissed. In your example, you assume the early science building will take 12 turns to hard-build, but that rush-buying only accelerates your next tech by 3 turns. That may be an OK assumption in general terms, except it misses the point that the early science building will accelerate every subsequent tech as well. Also, the extra science building may, at the margin, yield you one more (or at least an earlier) GS, which the RA will not do. In any event, this is a contrived experiment. The choice is usually not (1) sign 2 RAs now and hard-build the science building over the next X turns vs. (2) cash-buy a science building now and defer that round of RAs for 30 turns. If that is your choice, you must have pitiful gpt and/or no luxury trades maturing any time soon. The more common choice, in my experience, is either (1) doing the RAs now and deferring rush-buying the science building until I have the gold or (2) rush-buying the science building now and doing one RA a few turns later and another some number of turns after that, perhaps funded with renewed lux and strategic resource trades, or a gpt for gold trade with the RA partner (assuming your RA partner has the gold). I usually do (1), if for no other reason than an ill-timed denunciation or DOW will kill the RA, but the science building will keep chugging along. Also, except right after researching Education, I think it is rare to be able to sign two RAs on the same turn -- usually one or more AIs lack the gold.  

@beetle: before you continue to go on about how much better RA's are, shouldn't you have BNW first, so you at least have some first hand experience with the new RA system?  

reddishrecue

RAs really differ from vanilla, gnk and bnw. I don't find RAs being that beneficial because they often do give that research boost and most of the time you don't get as much research. Another thing that is possible during RAs is that you pay off money for research that other people can usually steal. Its like if you were funding research for other civilizations when other civilizations can simple spy and steal your technologies. Unless you go for the rationalism social policy tree and build the porcelain tower or somehow obtain the porcelain tower.
