Seconded! That was a very clear explanation that gives me a decent idea of what the stakes are here, and also tempts me to get Civ6 just for the scenarios. How many scenarios are there, anyway? Do they come with the base game or only with some expansions?
I don't think that any come with the base game, sadly.
You've got:
Outback Tycoon (this one might be fun multiplayer - players compete to settle Australia using that civ's unique bonuses)
Path to Nirvana (a religious themed game in Southeast Asia - no conquest or science, just religious combat)
Gifts of the Nile (2 players, Egypt vs. Nubia in the Nile valley, first one to build 7 temples to Amun wins)
Conquests of Alexander (1 player, Alexander versus Darius as you try to repeat history)
Jadwiga's Legacy (3 players? defend Poland during the Deluge, highest score wins).
Vikings, Traders, and Raiders! (this one).
Each one comes in a DLC - Australia, Khmer & Indonesia, Nubia, Macedon & Persia, and Poland are all Civ-DLCs, while the Vikings scenario is a standalone DLC.
There's also some multiplayer scenarios that I haven't looked at. This is the only Civ VI scenario that I've played so I don't know the special rules of the others.

Wolin was rotten luck. We lost a berserker and it looks increasingly likely Sweden will get this as he has the numbers and the longship to park the berserker.
I will try to deny it as long as possible. The west looks better.

Well, Wolin isn't totally out of reach yet - 3 beserkers ought to be enough. It'll just be tricky to manage with Sweden lurking to snipe, and those archers.
The west certainly looks good! York is going to be ours, and I'm pretty sure we can scoop up Scotland before Norway can get an army over there. And it looks like we're going to push on Rouen before Winchester? I definitely agree with that move. It cuts Norway off from England entirely, and it keeps us a toehold in France so we can push on Poiters & Paris.

Good news. Naval Empire boosted. Rouen looks good despite a Cabiallari.
Still Wolin is annoying.

Is there a way to bring in a fresh beserker at Wolin? We'd be almost certain to take the city then.
Also, how's the Great Admiral screen look? I don't expect us to get the first GA, but fingers crossed for the second.

Not really, money is tight atm, and I deemed Rouen more important longterm. We will see if I am right.
I did however assume that my 4th berserker would survive.
Full report tomorrow.
Looking a bit better.
Rouen taken, York looking good, and I am more confident about Wolin now.

This turn was a mess. Our troops and ships are totally exhausted. If I had the ship near Wolin I think we could take it damn me for trying to be cute and pillage Riga.
Anyway, we fortify and upgrade what we can and buy a settler for an eureka.
We also run away in the east where are 3rd Knight has shown up!
You will not see much difference in the before and after pictures.

Hey, we can always hope that knight will go for the Svedish berserker!
Why are so many Franks coming east? In my games they normally swarm Utrecht around now.

I also note how crowded England is getting. We may have to give up on Scotland, and even York is in mild danger of being sniped by Norway. Thankfully, though, after we finish in the north we can regroup our forces and fling everything at France.

Yeah, Wolin is a lost cause as well. In my effort to not loose another freaking berserker due to Frankish stupidity Sweden has occupied more tiles then us.
The west looks a bit better but crowded:
We need 2 Huskarls now, something Roskilde and Odense will work on after their projects.
We manage to get York, barely, but everyone is redlined now.
Norway goes for Scotland, I would go for Wintancester, which we will aim for now.
I think our western performance is solid. Wolin is a disaster. Just imagine that we could have Poitiers by now with 3 more berserkers which linger around Wolin uselessly.
GP. Norway shot for GreatAdmiral. We are soon behind with 1 project and many harbours.
And you never see this in a SP game. Crowded as can be:
