#8 Intermediate Player Tutorial - Emperor China - Civilization Vi Rise and Fall

[@eduardo3652]

Ripping down everything he has ever cared about... and feeding it to him piece by piece by piece! That's my Potato!

[@maxv658]

Yo. That great work bug is insanity. No idea that existed before now.

[@jakobraahauge7299]

Lets make this guy completely panic by ripping down everything he has ever cared about and feeding it to him 😂 oh Potato! Always entertaining to watch your playing! Love from Greenland!

[@Sycord]

Why do you hang on to those envoys so long? I felt like that +1 production from toronto for just 1 envoy could have boosted you a little bit, since it was available for so long and you still haven't used most of your available envoys. They just sit there doing nothing.

[@Jondiceful]

"Doodads the Chinese have that no one else can build." I love that!

[@DarkLightLTU]

Returning the city can be chosen when deciding for peace (same time as ceading).

[@alec2themax]

The true question is if episode 9 will also be an excersize in miming when first released like this and the past episode

[@PedroPereira-th4xq]

Hi! Your gameplay videos are great to watch and I have learned a lot from them. You said you have a lot of things to build and no time to do it, does changing the game speed help with that or is production/science affected by the speed?

I'm french and i feel screwed.

[@Sporrik]

Just surrender already. we know you were thinking about it anyways...

[@thomasmetzinger2096]

@@Sporrik that's indeed what french are good for, BUT we make hella good cheese and it'll be annoying to destroy our culture

ok, would you like wine with that?

Gandalf? When was he added as a leader?

[@konplayz]

what are the requirements for a national park? where can and cant you build it?

[@eXistenZ15]

Ive tried a bit of Emperor, but honestly I didnt really enjoy it. A lot of the mechanics become irrelevant (citystates for example, even with the mod that gives them walls), you play catchup a lot of the time untill you are ahead and can't be stopped, and the AI tends to be quite unreasonable/ not cooperative. i'll probably stick with King, maybe if they make the difficulty bonusses smoother I'll give it another try. Thanks for the tips though, I guess I was doing tourism all wrong the entire time. Should help me in MP

[@kaloianbozhilov]

Why dont you get the industtial city states for production? They have some nice industry district bonuses.

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

I have other priorities.

[@kaloianbozhilov]

@@PotatoMcWhiskeythank you for answering man! :) But what about all this envois sitting and doing nothing?

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

@@kaloianbozhilov I talked about this. I don't want to spend envoys because they are a precious resource - if I find the kind of city state I want then I'll spend them.

[@Raqdolll]

Why don't you use builder charges on the wonders?

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

It only works on Ancient and Classical Era wonders.

[@Raqdolll]

@@PotatoMcWhiskey ah, that explains it :)

[@eduardo3652]

Could you explain that culture bomb Poland dropped on you? I'm having trouble understanding how to use the various culture bomb opportunities in the game. They never go right for me... there's one tied to a Great Person as well that I can never get to work.

[@eduardo3652]

Great Engineer Mimar Sinan is the GP. Culture bombs adjacent tiles when completing an industrial zone in any city. I've tried several times, and never gotten the result I expected.

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

Basically they steal tiles.

[@ravageMK2]

@@eduardo3652 in short "culture bomb" effects will only grab tiles you dont already own, culturally, directly adjacent to whatever caused the bomb. So, at most, a culture bomb is 0-6 tiles worth area. The Poland one for example will grab every tile adjacent to whichever Encampment you finish, which usually means a few tiles since you tend to build those on borders anyway. Australia's Pasture one though, if you already own all the tiles surrounding the sheep or whatever, you dont really notice it much.

[@portland573]

Could enforce peace and get € to secure Eiffel from the land where women glow and men plunder with a one off great work trade. Just sayin' 😉

[@CattusVert]

I'm new to the game and obviously not very good but is it just me or does anyone else get to the stage with canons, frigates and those sort of things and then get attacked by nuclear barbarian subs lol like what?????

[@DynaCatlovesme]

It does not follow for me that more AIs around equate to a quicker culture victory. You have to overcome the culture for each civ individually, and other civs neither add or subtract from each other with respect to your tourism pressure with respect to any individual one.

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

You only have to overcome the culture of the strongest civ. Every civ gives you tourists though.

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

Basically, roughly every 1000 tourism gives you one tourist. If you are generating 1000 tourism per turn againts 5 civs, you are getting 5 tourists per turn. Against 6 civs you are generating 6 tourist per turn. I have extensively tested this

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

Actually double checking it might have been changed in Rise and Fall, but its definitely how it worked in the base game.

[@DynaCatlovesme]

@@PotatoMcWhiskey Sure, of course, but they don't help you with the other civs (the tourists you get from another civ does not increase your tourism/turn). It's your tourism/turn that gets those tourists from other civs and each civ's culture/turn that resists.

[@DynaCatlovesme]

@@PotatoMcWhiskey I couldn't speak to that since I only figured out what the numbers in the culture victory progress screen were measuring after the expansion, though I haven't noticed a difference.
