58:50 Generally when I have the freedom to "sim city" everything, like when I start on my own island, I make a large farm triangle "district" which is composed of 3 farm triangles arranged into a large triangle with a farm in the center (10 farms total, +28 food), which can essentially be worked by 3 cities that surround it. Later in the game you can convert the edges into neighborhoods, which is fun because that's essentially what happened irl as people moved out of urban areas.
"Barbarian camps aren't scary, they're just annoying." Meanwhile in my game turn 150 have 3 barbarian helicopters and 2 at crew outside my doorstep......... Love the content! You've taught me so much on Science and Culture victories and just general gameplay overall!
ShadowOfGaia she really is my favorite civ. I’ve been trying off and on to do a domination victory without ever going to war. I played a game were I completely absorbed two other civs while staying friends with them.
@@riz3310 Yeah that's usually what I end up doing as well. Nothing more satisfying than watching a Capital city flip to my empire and then watching the rest absorb into my empire.
3:00:00 For "prosthelytizer" the emphasis is on the first syllable, just like in "prosthelytize". It's one of those weird words that is very long, yet has emphasis on the first syllable.
Really weird that in the game where they don't use Napoleon as leader, they implement a unit specifically tied to him as the UU. You'd think THIS would be the game where Musketeers are an appropriate UU for France.
Aquitaine her first husband was the king of France. She eventually divorced him and married King Henry second king of England. She became queen of England and mother of king Richard and king John.
I, myself, would have put a canal in the are between the lake city and the ocean. Or at least not built the harbor in that city. In all of my past games, whenever I build a harbor in a lake and then get a Great Admiral, the Great Admiral then shows up in that lake city. Same for if I get a free ship. This results in my having to just delete the unit since keeping it (when it can't do anything) just wastes money.
I'm intrigued by how Eleanor can be England OR France......She divorced King Louis and Married Henry II of England......she was the mother of Richard the Lionheart.....Never would have thought she would be a Civ leader!
@@sld1776 Sure but when it comes to France....you could have so many different leaders....Napoleon , Louis XIV, or Charles de Gaulle (like Civ IV), Joan of Arc (like Civ III), you HAVE another fascinating option in Civ VI in Queen Mother Catherine de Medici...I'm fascinated by Eleanor but one of the only Queens in history to successfully leave one king (who she had children with I believe...girls) for another....who she also had children with.....and she didn't get excommunicated.
@@maestroclassico5801 Probably because the official reason of the annulment was "Consanguinity" (though let's be real, there are multiple other factor which led to the annulment) which is tame and definitely not worthy of excommunication. But if the reason is something along the line of "Incestuous Infidelity" which did fly around due to Eleanor's relationship with her uncle, the excommunication could actually happen. Probably the funniest part is when Eleanor and Louis stayed in Italy after the disastrous 2nd Crusade. Eleanor sought an annulment with the Pope but got firmly rejected to the point where Pope Eugene III told them to sleep together. Like "Yeah your relationship is deteriorating, now sleep together and fix it"
Game i wish to see Science rush between Potato and SpiffingBrit in Civ-6 Whoever wins? Joins the other in Stellaris. Forced Hegemon start, the 'Loser' Gets ownership of one of the pet empires. Both work together against Aspec on the other side of the Galaxy. Good luck You'll need it.
How far do you typically get into a game before you decide what your victory type will be? And what's the latest you could leave it before having to decide? Am I right in thinking that the very start of the game is played without thought to the final game strategy?
anyone else realize there's a typo on the main page of the civilopedia. it says "Sid Meier's Civilization VII" instead of Sid Meier's Civilization VI. at 1:13:20
Can anyone explain how he always gets away with selling all his luxury goods and I never seen the damn amenity penalty? This is before Temple of Artemis. And how the hell is he keeping up with science by turn 98 with no campus? He's got twice as much science as that one broad and only has pingala for plus 5. I feel like diety difficulty must have two difficulties.
@28:00 ish you said Civ5 was good from get go which simply isn't true it had a very rough start with strategic resource changes it was really rough seeing you needed Iron to make catapults and yet had no access to Iron in your civ which happened 99 times of 100
I wonder if there is a mod for a "blank" civ: A civ with no special abilities or units or building, who can just do the things common to all civs. Then, turn it into a real civ by giving them an additional settler at the beginning of every game lol.
Out of all the Kings and heroes they could have used to represent France, they chose Eleanor!? Not Napoleon, not De Gaulle, not the Sun King Louis XIV? Eleanor is somewhat historically significant based on whose bed she was sleeping in at the time, but half the time she was more associated with England then France. I don't believe she was ever the sole ruler of France, and should therefore be ineligible on that fact alone. It's like having the U.S. represented by Hillary Clinton, or England represented by Catherine of Aragon.
Any chance to get the game and map seed on this? Would love to play "along" and try to use what I learn from the video. You just see the map differently/better than I do. No surprise
His home continent kind of has the shape of Great Britain, and the continent to the east of him with the city states looks like Greece, and the island south of that is Crete lol
By definition its a glitch that you are exploiting, so kinda both. But arguing about whether its 'morally' right or whatever is pretty pointless. In matchmaking you should probably take every advantage you can get, because as Potato said, they will be doing the same. It should probably have been fixed by now though, as should all glitches, they're literately unintended.
49:50 I mean, sure exploits will be used against you in multiplayer, but then multiplayer just isn't as fun. Tbh unregulated multiplayer civ is cringe af, may as well just play AOE because it's essentially an RTS. Playing multiplayer in an environment where people can't cheat or exploit multiplayer-specific features is when civ is the most fun.
1:53:18 One of the only things I dislike about civ 6 is the fact that there's essentially nothing that prevents or disincentivizes you from building as many cities as possible. In civ 5, it makes you discover shit slower and the local-global happiness is a big limitation. Here, amenities mean nothing until the late game and every single civ benefits from building a ton of cities, which I think takes out an aspect of the game that I liked from civ 5, that a civ controlling not that much land can compete with civs controlling a ton of land.
Terrible initial settle decision, then a double scout open which should NEVER be attempted, all to find out you are alone on a small island. As French Eleanor! Hard fail.
If you had moved the Petra 2 tiles North of the Pyramids you could have placed double-adjacency Theatre Squares for Amboise and Marseille. Not ideal since you use up 2 hills AND reduce Marseille's Petra benefit.
it would be so easy to remove those pins, but instead lets pointlessly annoy some folks and make it less enjoyable. I dont get it. Besides that good first Day.
Funny thing when Potato is talking about Cryptographically secured passwords. There's a lot of odd misconceptions most people have about it. What makes a password secure is, frankly, just sheer length. So for example this password: "iamtheveryvisionofamodernmajorgeneral" Is magnitudes more secure than: "Xd1Q4p_y". Even though most sites will claim the latter is more secure due to more variation in characters used. Just random trivia from the land of Information Technology and kind of the silly misconceptions most people have about it.
Hey Potato. Why so many Harbours? Aren’t Commercial hubs better? They get easier adjacency bonus from rivers and other disctrics and great merchant points are much better than great admiral points? Or am I missing something ?
Both are good, but harbors are usually preferable because they can add production later instead of just gold, provide better yields on the ocean tiles with improvements, preserve some of the land for other things to build, and in a pinch, double up as a way to produce a navy should he suddenly find himself in a war. I generally like great merchants as well, more so than the admirals, and sometimes the gold yield on commercial hubs ends up being way better but the harbor has too many other benefits imo
@@FrodotheSniper1212 Thx. Yes I forgot the production and housing it provides... plus using an otherwise unusable tile is also a strong argument for harbours.. thx
