I mean, wars aren’t that bad gameplay wise. Considering how long wars last in-universe, though...well, let’s just say the Hundred-Years-War is kind of a joke in comparison.
@@jadenstar1038 A brick joke is a trope where the punchline is delayed. Like how the scout said that he started the war with Norway, then at the end the punchline is that the city is actually Norwegian and not Sumerian as he first thought.
Actually, if it took Ian that long to realize he was Greek, it means that Samaria won the war, and then lost to Norway. Ian didn’t know he wasn’t Samarian until he asked if they’d beaten them.
It's when a joke that sets a feature is told (often seems unrealted to the rest of the story) and after a while that feature previously introduced is used for setting a new joke.
Brick jokes were a staple of the golden age of the Simpsons. Nowadays, I'm not sure there are many shows capable of pulling them off, but these guys are among the better ones around.
Which is why I said what I said. "You can't just build wonders anywhere you want to anymore." "Guess we have to cancel the Statue of Liberty then." "That one's actually supposed to go in the ocean."
ah the age old problem. imagine you where selected to be put in a deep freeze and sent to another star system to start a new colony, then some bright spark invents warp drive and you arrive Thousands of year later to find a fully occupied and established planet. You might feel like this poor guy :)
That's why we have the 50 (20? I don't know the exact number) rule. If it takes more than that many years to reach the place, don't bother. We are likely to invent something that would get there first in the meantime.
"why would anybody tear down a hundred years of progress just because somebody else did it first?" EXACTLY!!! As a person who tries to build every single wonder in the game, I can totally feel your pain!
actualy you are wrong about the racist pedo thing you might be thinking of another gandhi and yes there many many famous gandhis the one we know is mahatma gandhi and he was a man of peace...and extremely sexist but not racist or a pedo
I think they mean the scout tried to walk in the territory, then greece declared war on norway to get their scout through since they didn't have open borders
The Collective but sir! All our units already have this technology! Just speak to that warrior over there! He's been sitting outside the Capital since before that scout was born!
The Collective fool. The scout survived not on his own biological powers. On this earth, the very world seems alive. It will respond to the prayers of primitive villages. It wills iron and similar resources from its crust to the surface for the empire that entertain it the most. And do you really want to invade a planet with immortal demigod rulers, endless armies, and a planet that lives unto itself?
Not if they were a Greek citizen talking about that city in particular. In real life, when you conquer a city, do you kill all its denizens and replace it with people from your civilization? No, you just say "This is ours now, you belong to us." So it's very feasible for a Greek citizen to be speaking on behalf of the Greeks.
Because his own country could've reacted the same way and it happened a long time ago? I mean, how would you react if you were idk from New Mexico and someone started talking about the war the Americans started on the Spanish in that area to actually conquer that part that now belongs to the US? You would shrug it of no matter if you were Spanish, Mexican or American I think XD
"I may have started a war with Norway Oh was that you!? ... So you're a Greek scout?" Although it was VERY funny something about the time it took Ian to realize it was another nation scout still bugs me for some reason.
No, I think he thought the scout was Sumerian. It was the realization that the scout was actually Greek that surprised him. Basically, by the time the war with Norway happened, the Greek empire had already been wiped out by the Sumerians.
@@SadisticSenpai61 I think the opposite I think he thought he was a Sumerian that started a war between Greece and Norway otherwise he would've had that realization earlier thinking they took over his country
Folks, the man is civilian, he doesn't know or care about unit identification. He is but a +1 number near city name, or a green circle above tile worked by him.
I literally just found this channel at like 8:00 last night and have just finished the bingewatch playlist and the community comments season two playlist and as I am finishing the last community comments video this pops up in my notifications.
Hey, I'm pretty sure I made your avatar! Funny seeing it again. Proof: www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/5dd353/canada_a_little_different/ (check the username).
Civilization Fun Fact: Ancient Ruins have mysterious teleporters that they can use to send things to the nation that first found them. As a side note it would be interesting if goodie huts could create units that you'd have to guide back to a village in order to recieve a reward. Though now that I think about it making things more realistic does not equate to making it a better game, so..... I don't know where I'm going with this anymore.
komo307 Oh, dont remember me. I still have nightmares of escorting the dammd Mule squad in my flight simulators. F16 F22 Mig29 dont matter the simulator there is always a stupid as hell Mule squad to protect. Fun fact is that in Brazil we call dumb people Mule so I always thought the name was accurate.
Sid Meier's Colonization game had that as a feature. The goody huts were Indian burial grounds. Within them you could find nothing, a colonist from a lost colony, the Fountain of Youth (which gave you like seven or eight colonists in your European port), a small amount of gold, or a large amount of gold. The small amount of gold you just pocketed immediately, but the large amount of gold was actually a unit that you had to send back to a colony in order to transport to Europe. And the Indians always tried to attack it. So if you did find one, you really had to escort it back to a colony because unless the gold was really close to one of your colonies, you were bound to come across an Indian unit at some point in the trip back. The colonist from a lost colony also spawned in place, but unless you angered the Indians with your disturbing their burial grounds, they usually left them alone, even though they were civilian (i.e. unarmed) units. You could even send the colonist into an Indian village to learn one of the skills that the Indians could teach your colonists.
Guys, these videos are incredible. They have an amateur taste to them that makes them so great. The writing is fantastic. The jokes are well-thought and well-delivered. I hope you continue to make skits like these and that your channel keeps growing. This is my favorite channel by a long shot.
nemanja Stojanovic Don't you die on me! *charges* clear!....Dammit! You're not dying on my watch, you hear me!? *charges* clear!...Damn you lord! He's too young! Too young!! *dramatically hits your chest*
I actually had a game recently with some friends where Norway (AI) was dominating everything. Scoreboard was Norway at 500 points, me at 400 and everyone else at around 200-250. So when I was gearing up a giant army, everyone ignored me, because they figured I was going to attack Norway (They kept on denouncing me for not having a Navy.. on a Pangaea map). Then I killed all my friends.
Alex R yeah, but he dosen't know that the scout is greek. And since this war probably happened for a long time ago, they would be speaking as a part of the Norwegian people.
@@alexr6705 not everybody, but talking over a city does include a bit of population decrease... and the remaining citizens suddenly forget all knowledge of their old history and learn all the fancy new sciences of the conquerors. ;)
at 2:30, "I may have started a war with Norway" "Oh that was you?" End of the video: "This is Norway". This guy didn't bother to correct the poor scout.. How rude!
theACM gamer It's a norwegian in-joke. It's considered rude to interrupt or inconvenience strangers in public. One person from another country said that on the bus in norway you get the sense that someone widely beloved has died every day because everyone is so quiet and solitary in public
I think the explanation may be found in the following line: "Actually we are fascist now, but yesterday we were communist so that might change." I sense that this Norway is very arbitrary with which laws are on the books a given day.
For some reason, this reminds me of when my brother first introduced me to Civ I. I was sick, and he turned my computer towards my bed (this was before laptops and flatscreen monitors.) And he started playing. And I fell in love. Then, when i was better, I started to play. I'm pretty sure I got sacked by barbarians.
I think may be my favorite Civ sketch by you guys! Well, my favorite Civ sketch period, but if it's made by you guys, that's implied by the first sentence.
Artsicle: One time KSP glitched on me during a reentry, my pod accelerated to x150 the speed of light and destroyed Kerbin. And then it autosaved. Great.
I've been bedridden with the flu the last few days and binge watching nearly everything on your channel was extremely entertaining. I'd only really seen your Civ stuff and a few other skits, but watching everything showed me several others that were gold. Everything is so quotable. Keep up the good work!
Fuckin A+ quality as usual. I actually watched it twice in succession. You know you're doing something right when you're almost at 500 likes without a single downvote (probably shouldn't have brought that up).
Well if there was a last, than nobody commented ever again on this video after you, including replys, depressing, but ironically funny talking about it XD
KM Chang that is true, but not only would it not be a very funny joke if it was pointing to a uranium tile, but DoorMonster haven't played much of civ 6 yet. So it is highly possible they don't know about the orange glow.
Back in Civ IV the poor guy would at least have been recalled home in the renaissance for upgrades. And he'd have a ship to keep him company on his journey. Unless it was a pangea map.
Once again, the punchlines in your videos are amazing. Also, that scout caused his entire civilization to be wiped out. That's gotta take some skill to fail that hard.
After finishing the Binge Watch Playlist after my friend showed me you guys, I can't wait for more everything, especially Kingdom Hearts, Civ, and and literal punchlines.
If you want check out their second channel too! Plus they stream live every now and then and interact with fans, so plenty more beyond what's in the binge playlist to keep eating up your time! :)
Mine typically run out of stuff to explore at some point, if they live that long. Then I just send them to the capital until the end of the game. Sometimes I find a distant tribal village in the modern era and they have a job again or something.
Jones Crimson Nah, putting subtitles in just means I was watching the video for long enough for that to register. Also I took the observant feat... Wait, crap, they're playing Pathfinders, that works different.
There's already so many! We really hope we're able to maintain a similar level of personal communication as we continue to grow. But your name does seem quite easy to remember, so that's good.
I can see it all now. Soon you will pass 100k and before you can say: "that kid looks sick", there will be merchandise with inside jokes like "Terracotta Army" with Venice holding his fingers together on a T-shirt.
This could really apply to any Civ game. XD And I loved the fact that the scout says "I may have started a war with Norway," the other guy replied, "Oh, that was you?" then, at the end says the city is Norwegian. Just how casual it was was gold.
Brandon Miner idk... Norway taking a city is one thing, with enough units, time, and playing against another AI. It is possible, but Norway not getting sailing? Even the AI is not THAT stupid...
