In Civ6, can you retaliate in any way (or does the other civ suffer any other penalty, such as damaged reputation) when a civilization breaks a promise?

For example I asked another civ several times not to convert my cities to their religion (while we were allied to each other!) and they broke that promise repeatedly. It didn't seem like there was anything official I could do about it, other than denouncing them once our alliance ended.

The annoying thing is that I wasn't even able to break the alliance early, so I had to wait a long time to have a Holy War Casus Belli against them for violating the promise.

What happens if you break a promise in Civ 6?

If they break the promise you gain a Casus Belli against them, which allows you to declare a Formal War. Once the duration of the promise is over they can re-engage in the activity that prompted you to make your request without giving you a Casus Belli.

How do you stop a city from rebelling in Civ 6?

First you need to exert enough Loyalty pressure on a nearby foreign city to force it to become a Free City, then make sure no one else exerts more pressure on it until you flip it to your empire. This is, in practice, a way to conquer enemy cities without firing a single shot.

How do you take back a free city in Civ 6?

To convert a Free City to your Civ you can do two things - increase Loyalty pressure on it from your Civ, until it swings into your control, or conquer it with military force. The AI normally sniffs out this opportunity to claim a city very quickly and gets straight to work on it, so you'll need to act fast.

How do you keep cities loyalty in Civ 6?

Loyalty changes each turn based on many factors, but the most important factor is pressure of Citizens who live near or in the city. If pressure from your own Citizens outweighs pressure from other civilizations, the city's Loyalty will increase (up to +20 per turn).
