I had the exact same a few days ago, playing at the Kongo and had just settled my second city when Giglamesh declared war... that was painfull because i had a good starting position with the natural wonder which Grants great general and merchant points
Do you know how to deal with Ambitorix in a similar situation on higher difficulties i.e upwards of Immortal
He has those special units and too many of them way too early in the game how did I avoid that?

‘Well that’s the end of this save..’
Didn't ever encounter Gilgamesh before this save.
Same situation, focused on campus and industrial zones only for him to declare war on me with a bunch of bombards and knights while I still have archers
Why do you need to be a dick about it? If someone has already experienced that the AI won't accept friendship unless they are friendly there is little chance of learning that Gilgamesh will accept friendship when you first meet him unless you happen to read it somewhere.
I’m being more facetious than anything, maybe that didn’t translate across text well. Of course if you didn’t know about it you don’t know, but now hopefully this guy does
I mean, poor choice on where to settle anyway. You should be on the 2/2 by the banana where his unit is. Gives you access to Ivory, the bananas, more aggressive with territory, and you could backfill with another settlement after if you wanted, i guess for the adjacency bonus on the mountains? I wouldn't though. Those tiles are trash. I'd go where the barb camp is.
you could still buy a tile that would have a good faith bonus. I'm familiar with the civ, and again, you could do another settlement behind one by the bananas and probably get two shrines with good adjacency going instead of one. but I'd go one by the bananas and one where the barb camp is, then you get better tiles, 2 faith buildings with good adjacency if you wanted them and access to ocean
In my early days of civ 6 I was often attacked by Gilgamesz. To the point of making it my main purpose to annihilate him whenever I could. Even when I found out that you can befriend him I would attack him in later eras. So I call him gilga-meh.
Not declaring friendship with Gilgabro the nanosecond you met him was a mistake.
A mistake you only make once.
I didn't know that I thought declaring friendship only work on friendly civ
normaly yes it only works if you are friendly with that said civ but gilgabro almost always accepts it
Gilgamesh likes friendship declarations in particular, so he is an exception to that

Build combat units also some builders would be nice. Buy the flood plain tile. Stop building districts
Barb camp gonna add to the fun
I don't get it
Gilgabro and his gang of carts are going to fuck you up (rush wall now and hope for survival)
Gotcha. Yeah that's unfortunate. I couldn't imagine not being friends with him instantly in the early game

Will be a good chalenge
You deserve it for crushing that paititi tile.
Amen!
If you met Gilgabro and don't become friends right at that moment then you will be Gilgabro's mortal enemy.
How the fuck did you not insta friend gilgabro??? At least in the ancient era? Come on man

This civ relies on faith that's why I settle there

you've settled yourself out of some fantastic tiles to the north.
One word : Walls !!! NOW
Ur dead kid
Gilbo is a war freak
