OK YES I MOVED MY UNITS BACK AND FORTH I WAS BORED OK also i know how to pronounce Maori and that it isn't pronounced MAY-OR-EE it was a bit that im a dum american ok i did it for the bit ok

Kupe: “all 0 of your tiles are being chopped and polluting the world!!” Kupe 100 turns later: “all 0 of your tiles are preserved and have high appeal!!”
If AI had any sense, it would just treaten war all the time to get gold free of charge, as 1 upgraded melee unit would be enough to conquer the Dover Island.
This challenge sounds like a conspiracy theory. “Yeah there are these primitive tribals who are stuck on this island in the middle of nowhere and they secretly control all financial institutions.”
Yakob, please take care to listen to my speech, that your wisdom may be multiplied. Children of God, let the love of the Lord be your light in this dark age. Remember these words, which have been sent by God, that you may not be troubled. Let the father, the son and the Holy spirit be manifest in all that you do, for this is the glory of God
I imagine all these world congresses happening at the base of the Cliffs of Dover, with Boes' ancient era people just throwing gold and prophecies (votes) down from above like some sort of generous and influential god.
You can actually win that, if you disable all victory types. The only way to win it is, if everyone else looses. It can happen in Apocalypse mode, if all AI cities are destroyed with meteors but your Settler somehow survives.

> Bases his entire economy and society solely off lending money to other peoples while staying out of any and all conflicts and international politics Should call this the "Switzerland Challenge"
@@The360MlgNoscoper I heard over the last couple of years contractions of 10% occuring in the sector. Which makes their 5.2% economic growth last year kind of impressive considering the number was dragged down so much by real estate and a crunch on consumer spending
Man... I heard the Epic music kick in, and the timers. I was fully expecting Boes to lose to a Science victory with 1-2 turns left on the last aid request
I love how there are people who are figuring out rocket science and then there are just a group of idiots on an Island who don't even know what a wheel is and they are incredibly rich.
Congrats Boes great video. Two questions for you. 1) During your 16 times trying to win this, did you ever lose because the AI attacked your warrior/settler? 2) Is there a reason why you did not use all or most of your Diplo Favor in the final few World Congress votes? Felt like that could've maybe helped earn a few extra diplo victory points?
i personally disable the religious win condition, becuase i've found that sometimes the AI just doesn't resist and lets someone conquer the world with religion without opposition
@@marcosmauricio7805 Theres a mod I really like that changes the start era for the World Congress to Industrial (Which is what it should be in Vanilla IMO). It makes a Diplomatic Victory much more challenging/interesting since you need to plan very far ahead!
Congrats Boesthius. This was a wild ride and I did not see the ending coming the way it did. I don't subscribe to channels very often but this one got that button click from me. Good luck on reaching 100k!
Boes scamming the AI from a cute island. just some dudes, with no houses, no society, just walking in circles. *AND THEN THERE IS KUPE BEING THE ANNOYING DINGUS HE IS.*
the Victory point vote is pretty easy to get right, you just have to look who has the most diplomatic voting power, and usually that one wins because they throw everything in it to win. 😅
Its a bit uncomfortable to me that the game presents a stateless people, controlling the banking sector and using that power to take over the world through the UN, to be a viable strategy.
The impossible challenge I’ve been doing is trying to steal one of each cavalry unit as Mongolia It’s impossible because my game inevitably reaches a point where loading a turn will crash my game Other than that, the main problem is largely that you need to start very close to scythia, Sumeria, and macedon and that Canada absolutely refuses to build Mounties unless you’re really bearing down on them with your army for centuries and also sold them a lot of previously conquered faith heavy cities to help them have enough faith to purchase them
22:18 I am still surprised every time I see the diplo ending that there is Czech flag in there. Gets me every time and I have 0 idea why especially us had the honor to be there.
The thing I never understood about the UN in the Civ games is that it actually has power and influence. You can’t just ignore it like in real life because of how the game is coded and regardless of the difference in tech it just exists. So if you’re the only one that has a strategic resource in the world the UN can somehow ban any benefit you get from it
I'm not sure if victories like this are a testament to the versatility of Civ 6 or how broken the systems are when properly exploited lol Well done Boes! Your mastery of this game is truly inspirational (though a small part of my ego is grateful that it took you 16 tries to achieve this victory 😁).
@@AGuy-vq9qp What a dumb comment. Did you miss the part where it took him 16 tries to get this victory? The AI did exactly what it needed to do to win but he got the upper hand this time. They didn't attack him because he was not seen as a threat or as a target because of his remote location and once he got on their good side he could just focus on the diplo game. Additionally, the continual disasters both allowed him to feed himself diplo points as well as keeping the AI off balance because it was in constant rebuilding mode. I'm not going to say Civ's AI is flawless but then no 4x game has flawless AI. Not one. They all have blind spots that can be exploited. Until machine learning or some other advanced system is incorporated the existing state of AI is pretty much stretched to its limits.
I always vote for whoever has the most diplo favor when voting for diplomatic favor, the ai always votes themselves then I get my third point instead of just 2 11:59
This is the closest we will have to playing as a population in CIV6, you bought stocks and sold them for an up-prize then you offered loans and made money off of interest.
Next Challenge: Win a Religious Victory the Next turn after founding It How you may ask? Simple: As any Civ (You can choose the worst one possible for this Challenge, like Canada), Get a Great Prophet but not use It, do a Domination Game, but leave one Civ With its Capital Alive, and once you feel you can convert the remaining Civilization to your Religion, making sure There are Holy Sites in Most of you Important cities (so that these cities have your Religion as Majoritary), you found your Religion, Buy a bunch of Apostles, and inmediately convert the remaining Civilization. This has to be done in Deity Difficulty, and, optionally, for extra Pain, you could do the Challenge in an Enormous/Huge Map (12 Players by Default) and Also play whilst on Epic Difficulty. Have fun having the worst time of your Life!
Some tricks for voting in congress: 1) Only vote for someone to lose 2 diplo if they have 14+ points already. The AI will not vote for anyone to lose points unless they have 14+, so it’ll never win until then. Before that, always vote for whoever has the most diplo favor. 2) On things like culture bomb votes (certain others, I cant remember them all) the AI won’t put in more than 1 vote. Therefore, you are the deciding vote and should always win a point. 2.5) On votes like above (where you will be the deciding factor), always vote for whoever has the least points. A couple times you voted for Lady Six when she was in the lead on diplo. This makes it so she’ll get a point also, which you don’t want. 3) I think buying diplo favor would have been more worthwhile for you throughout the game, especially if you had it piled up for some of the later votes. Even just being able to put in 2-3 votes instead of 1 can be a big swing (like putting 2 into the culture bomb one will get you a point and stop anyone else from getting that point)
These conditions were so favorable tbh, CoD island so no one can acquire the tiles or your units & apocalypse++ to have as many as aid requests as possible. I think the thing worked on this 17th try was not loosing the game as someone else finished a victory condition. For most of the votes he didn't marked the Civ with most diplo favor in the civ selection votes. But all in all an entertaining video, takes a good amount of time to create and I really liked the editing at the end. It was creative and engaging :)
Great Video, I did not recognize that sound track- You amaze me in you skills of CIV - I hope you occasionally do more challenge games. Thanks for the great content
That is what I call the ultimte lobby playthrough, made money out of nothing but time and went in the highest sphere of decision in the world. This game kills me😂
Is there a reason you didn’t buy all their diplo favor by mid-late game? I think it’s fair given the crazy nuzlocke you’re already in. Only thing I can think of is they can use the gold to accelerate their own victory.
Bos when deciding who you're going to vote for some of those world congress votes you should consider how much diplo favour the AI have. They're extremely self-centred and almost always vote for themselves. At 7:40 you vote for LSS and she has the most diplo favour so she wins, at 8:45 you vote for 50% reduction when 100% increase always wins (peter was correct though), at 10:38 you vote for Kupe despite Peter having 253 more diplo favour, naturally Peter won. Considering the AI and their selfishness, it's almost impossible to lose some of those votes.
Video idea for you. What if lets say you play a normal civ game BUT with a fan in charge of your game and if he tells you to attack the romans(for example) then you have to do it. 😂
new challenge… play a fairly standard game with the dramatic ages game mode and ONLY fall into dark ages, but you can’t recapture the cities you lose. so you have to continuously settle new cities each era or hope your important cities don’t flip by rng. you can defend from the free cities but can’t retake them and you also can play w whatever map type/civ/other game modes to help if needed. good luck 👏
hey quick early game recomendation, you can buy diplo favor for a 1 to 20 ratio but if you sell it back one at a time you can just rebuy it next turn syphoning their money, if you wanna go through the time based pain
Without it I think it would have been completely intolerable - he said he lost his challenge multiple times. Also, crank up the disaster intensity and play as Sweden - it's fun.
A nomadic tribe rules all the money in the world and acquires position of power in the international community by "giving" money to the people they took it from, huh🤔 Sounds kind of based, mr Sid Meyer
