No, I'll still be me when next we meet.

Wowzers, imagine, such a day where humankind has been enriched so, perhaps enlightenment may not be too far away, perhaps with a little Cultivation, or some sort of Simulation of such. Truly Amazing it would be...

Wow, you can really feel the difference between Spiff abusing exploits to generate endless resources and become the Emperor of Humankind and AA humbly building himself up from nothing, achieving spiritual enlightenment, and THEN becoming the Emperor of Humankind.

Ah yes, this brings back memories rushing 3 tile range artillery in Civ and decimating everyone, or just having supreme deterrence methods until science victory or a sky full of tactical nuke bombers.

Ive binge watched Amphibians videos to the point that feels like I’ve seen countless videos, I’ve become extremely invested into video themes and character archetypes created. My review of this channel as a whole „I like your funny words, magic man“

5:35 been playing the game over a year almost now, have never noticed before that the game would actually start to show the year/date after you researched the calender. Nice attention to detail.

[@BlameCo]

I love a game that with the right mentality you can go from viking rowboats to nuclear genocide in 1 turn.

[@cabalcore2555]

Being sponsored by SEGA is pretty crazy. I know they aren't what they used to be but my first console was a Genesis and seeing one of my favorite content creators being sponsored by them is nuts.

[@GyaruRespecter]

someone looked at how cartoonish Civ VI was and deadass said "we gotta go higher"

[@adomuir2239]

@@OhNoTheFace actually i think the animations (in the diplomacy screen) are fantastic. Sure, they are a little wonky at times, and sometimes the dialog doesnt fit perfectly, but as far as engagement with your toon and the others goes - i think they nailed it. i forced myself to watch some civ6 LP just to make sure i wasnt too biased. Note the 'too' - not really a fan of civ - each version is more crap than the previous. And civ1 was the first game i played that kept me up till the alarm went off.

[@MN-yb8un]

I love that they screwed up the endgame. Polution kills you if you build the wrong buildings, but as far as I can see (maybe its hidden) i cannot demolish those buildings. planting 20 forest holds up one Airport for 2 turns, then the bonus disappears. Besides that its actually fun und less micromanage due to less cities.

One of my earlier plays of this game resulted in an impossible game lol I had wiped out everyone else except one. They were stuck on a small island, and never made it to be an actual civilization. So when I would send my Grenadiers down to kill them, they would die, then immediately respawn next turn. It was madness. I had been defeated in a battle of wills against a CPU who realized the only winning movd was not to play
