Ages ago I was playing Civ 1 during my first play through I thought I was doing great. I sent my Knight unit north to the sea. When I got there I saw a German submarine sail by. I definitely had to reassess my strategy.
I remember playing Call to Power, and finished building a railroad out of my capital. I was so proud, I thought I was pretty far ahead of everyone else technologically. Then, three turns later, my enemy rolled main battle tanks down it.
"My life's work was to stay dormant in Cheeselandia... until one day they woke me up and converted every fiber of my being into something called 'Nuclear Fission'..." Galileo, Great Scientist of Cheeseland, 1967.
In the vanilla version, you can ACTUALLY invent a printing press without inventing a written language. "Man, this will be great for making... posters?"
Science Fact 237: You can get Mechanized Infantry without even learning the combustion engine. So you are telling me the soldiers run on the ground Flintstones style?
Well, there have been solar powered planes, and aviation biofuels. Both are more complicated than oil, but maybe in those civilization timelines the thought of drilling for oil simply never occurred to anyone.
@@joanthetraveler3482 the first time i played,not knowing about the tech tree i quickly got nukes,only to find out that i have nothing to throw them out with without any oil
One of my favorite moments was rushing combustion to get landships for the defense of my country only to realize I needed oil and had just locked myself out of being able to build cavalry in the meantime.
This was so funny. There are so many friggin contradictions made in the Civ V tech tree. After 1000 hours into this brilliant game, I never understand the following: 1) discovering the internet before computers 2)discovering atomic theory before chemistry 3)having the knowledge of flight without any knowledge of sailing 4)understanding and using satellites without astronomy And could someone PLEASE explain who's idea it was to have embarking helicopters?!
I'm aware of the gas problem, but if there is an embarked enemy unit adjacent to land, there should be no reason why my helicopters shouldn't be able to attack that one unit. But don't think too hard into my comment, I just meant it as a funny inquiry; don't take it too seriously :)
I was running the 'Prehistory' mod that included the Paleolithic tech and 'Future Tech' that had stuff through Sentient robots and terraforming, ect. By the time I finished Agriculture, Arabia had discovered Nuclear Enrichment and was sending Death Machines after me. The most memorable game I've ever had...
I did the same except I played on warlord and made all the AI in the new world. When I got the new world I had musket men and I don't think they even got to the classical era yet.
Aidan Auld I just searched through the Steam Workshop. Click 'Subscribe' on any mod you want, then when you launch the game again go to the mods screen and apply them. As a general rule, almost everything in life can be found by reading the instruction manual (e.g. 'Help' screens)
Alright. Easier than KSP then... I had a look into modding it and got fairly confused fairly quick (I'm sure it's simple stuff, but I didn't want to screw it up) And yeah, I know. Just happened to have the question on hand when reading through this so I asked. :P
This is still relevant in Civ 6. It was something like 1900 and I still hadn't researched archery, and thus bows and arrows. While I had thermonuclear missiles. Why.
Walks into the laboratory in the basement of a medieval fortress: "Sir, our scouts have discovered the secrets of nuclear fusion in some ancient ruins!" Um... We just discovered optics. What the hell are you talking about?" "No idea, but I'm sure it'll be helpful a few thousand years from now!"
"Well, scout, i understand you want to donate this object to the research laboratory." "No." "What? Oh, well i thought you might just allow us to reverse engi-" "No, it's mine." XD i'm dying
In the first game phalanx units could defeat tanks when defending. XD

It's retarded, that Archery is not required for future technologies, because basicaly every civilization had reasarched archery very early, and what's more, bowstrings are something that helps you understand things like music, sewing etc. And physics too. Civilization is riddiculous game...
yep, if you go liberty to make up for the science you lose from expanding and not going writting asap, you gotta get to engineering and even sailing so you will have thosw trade routes up to net you science.
Lets be honest; who here HASN'T neglected the naval tree all the way up to the 20th century? You only benefit if your an island nation and it doesn't really impact the other research lines for centuries. You'd much rather research something that will get you a great wonder first, or give access to better artillery, or up your economic income than have frigates to protect your one coastal village. Especially since you can garrison that village with artillery anyways.
Not me - I always research sailing techs because of the food bonuses they give to cities near large bodies of water: allowing me to spend more time increasing the industrial capacity of the land tiles through things like mines and lumber mills instead of more farms.
i actually usually go way up the naval path first for the science and culture buildings and then go economic and then finally the bottom for military and infrastructure.
I just found your videos and I can't stop watching them, So a thousand curses upon you for taking my time up and for making hilarious and under watched videos. Side note in one game I discovered the printing press before discovering writing.
i still play Civ 4 a lot. Its always funny what strange technologies end up unresearched if you have the game automatically research the fastest path to the manhattan project.
One of the funniest things in the game is that it's entirely possible to reach Satellites and build the Hubble Space Telescope...without ever researching Astronomy
Yes, some are racing to reach the modern era so they can pick the first ideology, or they're beelining for a later tech and are trying to get it as soon as possible.
I always rush to get to later eras faster. There was this one game where Greece still had muskets, while I already had helicopters. It was a massacre... until Russia came in and destroyed my ass.
I will often jump to the next era (such as ancient to classical) and then back track to get the techs initially skipped - my goal on the early and mid-game is to remain ahead in the tech game by killing neighboring rivals while they are still young and defenseless (dead civs conduct no research).
Well I know everyone else is more wealthy and my last city is surrounded by artillery, but it would seem I have space travel, so you all lose. I don't even need food, money, military power, or any culture at all. You should all just bow to me now.
For anyone wondering, I believe the progression from Archery to Wheel has to do with how the old Civ games' tech trees were set up. IIRC the wheel unlocked the chariot archer,....or maybe it required both wheel and archery. Also, chariot archers used to be open to all civs and not limited to Egypt.
Lord of Tea oh yea. I never used them in Civ V so I didn't realize it was still there for everybody. Egypt's UU tho is the War Chariot which replaces Chariot Archers, and also requires Wheel
You could have just asked us for help. We would have sent Unit# 0357 so you could dismantle them and use their data storage to gain all sorts of new technology. Or you could just through their shell into a fire fueled by their own burning limbs, that would be okay
"I call it: a pot." "Wow, that seems really obvious actually, why haven't we come up with that yet?" "Uh... I don't know." Because they weren't going for the all-powerful science rush strat, although Sejong and Rameses probably already got all the good science wonders.
I love how in my first game I completely ignored science and stuff so here I am in the industrial era with a wall of samurai learning how to print things
The best part about Door Monster besides the great content is that they consistently take the time on each of their videos to respond to fans personally. Door Monster and crew are just awesome and deserve an Emmy or something. (Idk the categories of awards)
The funniest thing is how accurate this is like how you can crush your enemies with a barrage of nuclear missiles before you know what a pot is. Great video as always. You guys are the best.
omg white lightning, i havnt seen anything since the fable 3 experience and waiting for that to show up on newgrounds. tbh i just thought the creator died :/
***** its ok. i read a post on newgrounds about the final parts release and about animating and ive watched a number of animators show bits of them animating their projects. animating looks like hell... i hope it gets finished someday though lol. that was one of my favriot animations on ng but there is no rush and its been years already. but i still hope lol and at the least its good to know didnt die lol
Is that integration on the board behind? Though I’m more used to F(b)-F(a) as the... anti derivative. Or the opposite of it like F(3x^2)= x^3+c Oh it’s actually integration of f’(x) not f(x)
I was waiting for a Great Scientist to appear, someone jumps to stab him in the back and "BAM", robotics invented or something like that. But it was a good video, keep it up and keep doing Civ V stuff (pls)!
