Can 11 noobs beat 1 CHEATER in Civ 6?

Appreciate the edited version. I find it more challenging to watch multiplayer streams because of the turn timers. This was easier to digest and entertaining in a different way from your single player series.

This video is the perfect way to prove to the Crusader Kings people who think you're bad at Civ that you're not. If you can win against 11 people in multiplayer then their argument has nothing to stand on (disregarding you have the deity cheats)

[@oversgame7842]

It is true, lol. Like you should be defensive in the beginning until the medieval after this, you can dominate on your continent by occupation. The game gets easier when you have more cities and resources than others, and you can dominate with any way you can possibly imagine.

[@ForeverDayGreen]

Haven't watched the video yet but I'm going to predict that choosing a water map is going to be the players downfall. I used to play 1vX (deity ai in civ 5) and the only thing you needed was breathing room. So forcing a desert spawn (likely to be central) and then containing potato on 2-3 cities with 5-6 players (archers and blocker units) while the rest expands and surpasses in science to deal the final blow would have been best

[@kbat]

Yeah I heard Potato say this map was a good idea to stop his snowball but they needed to be way more proactive in defending their weaker targets for this to work

[@Atylonisus]

I'm also noticing that Egypt spawned on a VERY large landmass relative to some of the other opponents. Not to mention, those enemies then had to share smaller islands' space to succeed

Fun way for your fans to interact with you, and more interesting as a casual player to see how they play as well as your higher level of play. I know this didn't work out skill wise exactly the way you intended (all noobs) but it was very entertaining...

[@Victoria3WorldConquerer]

When you realize that the AI can't even beat you with all of those bonuses but the civ 5 AI could do it with 1/5 of the bonuses.

[@NightZap]

I think a good civ/map choice to beat Potato would have been giving him Scotland on True Start Location Earth. He's confined to an island so tiny he can't even use all three of his settlers at the start, hampering his ability to use deity bonuses to boom, and doesn't even have mountains to get good campus adjency to get to Shipbuilding more quickly. Two of the noobs' civs should be Norway to harrass him with Longboats and a central European civ like Germany or Netherlands to snatch up all of the settling locations on the European mainland before Potato can get there, also building up their defenses so he has a hard time to land an army and conquer those cities.

phenomenal video even better than usual as a viewer it was really nice to see that high level of engagement with the fans. I feel like if they would have focused half the team on navy and half the time to swarm the coast with big heavy units or horses etc...like you mentioned if they could distract you from building navy that can spread you thin. Also they needed to take one player and dedicate that one to denying the venetian arsenal from you. you should do this again sometime and further randomize the settings

They should've never agreed on an island map - when you can get frigates faster than them, it'll be game over. Frigates are extremely, extremely strong against basically everything in lower tech groups. If you can get experience on a Quadrireme and upgrade it to a frigate and eventually get +1 range, you'll be able to blow up every boat and city on the map. Once you get Flight, the same is true for aircraft (although if you don't have oil by then, RIP.)

Yeah I'd say you have to rush the Buffed player other wise you will get out teched. Also I feel like half of your team really should be Maori They are the better choice to rush with seeing how they can get not only sword men earlier, a worker + sailing. On top of all that, extra res on base tiles so they don't need to worry much about trying to tech or eco at all. They can just start flooding the seas with troops. Granted Seeing no doubles it's likely a rule to not double up other wise the Maori hoard would be hard to deal with.

A lot of interesting strategies open up in this: - Someone could play Byzantium (with a Kongo deputy) and everyone else lets them convert their Holy Cities. On a Huge map, that's 6 free ones. I don't care how strong Deity bonuses are, you are not going to be having a good time against a universal +18 Combat Strength. Even worse, he doesn't even need to take your cities then, all they need to do is kill enough units to convert most of your empire. - Same/similar strategy, but with Saladin this time. Now you end up with Saladin getting +1 science for every city they convert (and the rest let him), *and* Vizier Saladin essentially buffs the rest of the crew by giving them a Holy Site building for extremely cheap. - Going Catherine or Wu Zeitan would make the 1's life a living nightmare by doing constant spy missions. Another great combo to torture the 1 is Joao on Highlands. All of your Unique abilities (except the +1 sight) don't work now.
