Civ 5 - Let's Kill Ethiopia! Deity Walkthrough As The Huns #1

[@DanutMS]

Couldn't believe when I opened my feed. PC J Law is back? So happy about this

[@Alduinhead]

He did an Inca livestream before this, in case you didn't know!

[@DanutMS]

@@Alduinhead Hadn't seen it. Thanks for the heads up.

[@michealbohmer2871]

Another thing I like about The Huns is that, because of the +1 production for pastures and free animal husbandry, they have a pasture bias. That means you can get the "+1 culture per pasture" pantheon and get a nice culture bonus for the early game.

[@raptorcrasherinc.9823]

Yeah, their bonus does not seem like much if you are peaceful, but it is much better than expected.

[@MK_ULTRA420]

Yes, but Faith Healers is better, especially when you can heal planes with it. Huns are a Domination Civ first and foremost.

[@ElevateUUU]

@@MK_ULTRA420what does faith healers do?

[@MK_ULTRA420]

@ElevateUUU +30 HP for all units resting inside or 1 tile away from any of your cities that have it. It's vital for Domination, and worthless for any other victory type. It's also broken OP when combined with planes that have Air Repair. +40 HP per turn regardless of action.

[@pierre-yvesp3769]

PC J Law is back with full time Civ 5 content! This just made my week!

[@chryzos3091]

Just when I cycled my interest back to CIV5

[@honkifyoudonk]

I play so much Civ V at standard difficulty epic length, its my chillout game. Absolutely amazing and funny to watch a pro torch it with actual strategy, so glad i found your channel

[@BVIGrockle]

PCJ is back and he has a telephone hotline baritone to his voice since his return (that or he needs a lozenge) - great to have you back!

[@PCJLaw]

Haha it's funny I didn't think my voice was struggling that day, though it probably was a little!

[@emiltossman9822]

Great to see that you are back!

[@raptorcrasherinc.9823]

The Huns are one of the best civs in my mind. They are insane!!!

[@2bobaf]

After watching this earlier, I tried them out. The bonus to pastures was nuts. Looks like they are my new go to civ

[@MK_ULTRA420]

​@@2bobafI became a Huns main a decade ago when I realized that's the only way to win Deity guaranteed 😂

[@joshua2713]

J LAW! I missed you man. Idk if you remember me (Mr Jarvis) but it's so awesome to see you're back. Hope you've been doing well brother :)

[@atomopawn]

Good to see Mr. Jarvis back, too! Always enjoyed your chats on the stream.

[@tda0626]

Glad you are back! I watched every Civ 5 game and tutorial you ever did and enjoyed them all. I look forward to watching these.

[@moemouse]

It's so good to see you back, thank you so much for an hour+ long video !!!

[@gustavoleitao2907]

Love that you're back fof this, great content as always

[@PCJLaw]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@pennyboardzZz]

So excited for the second episode good to have you back I learn so much ever video I watch of yours

[@-XeNa_]

Good to see you back

[@keeganehrman4773]

Put 500 hours in civ 5 in the past year. I watch your videos before bed all the time. I really appreciate the content you create ❤️

[@jlferrell123]

Hey looking forward to checking this out! Recently moved to always playing Deity and learned a few tricks from you. The Huns warmongering strat is not something I am a pro at so I hope to learn more.

[@jlferrell123]

Man after watching about 50 mins of the video I am pretty impressed. You lost two units that you didn't have to but you are also live commentating your play and not stopping to think everything through in depth, which would have resulted in zero deaths, I am pretty confident. The worker to city ratio is perfect and you can really see how much having all your tiles improved (be it roads, farms, whatever) makes the timing hit that much harder. On a side note, it was really cool to see you capture a Buddhist monk and use him to convert your cities to a beneficial religion (thus still getting a good benefit despite zero investment-thank you RNGesus). Overall, this is a masterclass on how to hit a timing against a non warmongering civ and set your empire up to move forward and dominate. I like the immediate emphasis on nat col and I am guessing you will be building coliseums soon. EDIT: oh man, the snowball continues with enslaving the entire Ethiopian working class after taking their two best cities.

[@PCJLaw]

This is such a kind comment thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@isoscof]

It's really cool to see you back, I watched your stream a lot during lockdowns and it really helped me through it! Glad to see you upload

[@fredericateather8249]

Just wanted to start playing again glad to see you back :D

[@kilu98]

I‘m really happy you’re back, love your content

[@gad8476]

Welcome back!!! Love that Civ5 content is still being produced in current year

[@raptorcrasherinc.9823]

This will be fun to watch. I have only beaten dom on deity with Huns on duel map size. I need to try it on larger maps.

[@Lixn1337]

Very chuffed indeed to be seeing this, finally some earlygame warmongering

[@ElevateUUU]

Exactly

[@MK_ULTRA420]

Tbh Huns are really the only ones capable of Ancient era warfare. Everybody else can only bully City States while Huns can bully Civs too.

[@alaric12]

Glad to see you back, Could you play the scenarios on Deity ? I believe it could add a greater strategic diversity and depth and understanding of the game

[@superguy911]

the scenarios are pretty much all combat focused, the few exceptions need very one note rigid solutions to beat the game on deity (paradise found = settler spam , wonders = pure luck and rng) The only real exception is empire of the smokey skies but it's very short

[@voodooaa]

For the algo, lec go! :D

[@jeremyabelsen2919]

omg, welcome back, more videos pls

[@blablazockerable]

Glad you're back!

THE RETURN OF THE KING

[@nickh2220]

we are SO back

[@mwosc2]

Great content! Thanks and please keep it up!

[@Warrior_Whitten]

1:00:41 How if at turn 66 does Harar not have a library, did ending the turn to go to turn 67 allow Attila's Court to continue making the National College? Don't all cities, including puppet cities, need to have a library in order to be allowed to build the National College? Harar takes until turn 72 to begin building a library (1:11:08), but Attila's Court has been building the National College the entire time and only has 1 turn left on it.

[@PCJLaw]

Hey! You only need Libraries in non-pupet cities - puppet cities not having buildings doesn't stop you from building things like National College

[@Warrior_Whitten]

@@PCJLaw Dang, would have loved to known that years ago. That’s oddly not clarified in the description, and says all cities. Then again, this is the game that to this day still uses St. Basil's Cathedral’s picture for the Kremlin after all :/

[@MichaelBrown-d3o]

Welcome back!

[@AvengerAtIlipa]

I find it funny that the Huns start with horses revealed on the map, even though they don't need them for their unique units.

[@MK_ULTRA420]

Horses actually do matter for Pastures, Horsemen and Knight upgrades later. The devs knew what they were doing with the Huns.

[@andrewtobias4545]

Believe it or not you can run a tribute train on city states pretty easily with battering rams early game even on Deity. I actually recommend it bc the early gold can even get you settlers.

[@henningg.1687]

That is nice to know, have to try it at some point

[@superguy911]

I'm a huge fan of opening tradition and then going liberty for early rush domination victories, the tradition opener is very strong for the culture growth and you get to the liberty settler almost just about as fast as going straight liberty. Got a turn 161 deity win doing that as china on a standard speed pangea game

[@MK_ULTRA420]

That works until you have a warmonger Civ as your first neighbor, especially the Huns.

[@superguy911]

@@MK_ULTRA420 On my china deity game I had rome and the mongols as my only two neigbours, my dude if you're going domination you should be the danger

[@raptorcrasherinc.9823]

Interesting take on Honor. I think Honor opener is usually worth it for the barb culture and Statue of Zeus, but with Huns the city attack bonus is pretty minor. Barb culture usually gives enough on lower difficulties to justify the higher policy costs, but I am not sure on deity.

[@MK_ULTRA420]

The Honor opening isn't what's most important for Huns. It's getting Military Tradition and completing the Honor skill tree that matters most.

[@raptorcrasherinc.9823]

@@MK_ULTRA420 Finishing honor is only practical when you have a ton of culture. Otherwise, you fall behind on rationalism and ideology. It is extremely powerful, but it might not be worth it.

[@MK_ULTRA420]

@raptorcrasherinc.9823 The entire Honor tree is only practical for Huns whose Horse Archers can get Logistics by around turn 70. I can't think of any other unit that makes good use of Military Tradition.

[@MK_ULTRA420]

​@@raptorcrasherinc.9823Finishing Honor is vital for the Huns to get enough money to pay for everything via warfare.

[@katkong281]

Sometimes I will grab honor for warrior code because it is SO good. Discipline isn't a bad pick later on either when you are using a lot of infantry

[@Power_HUB_YT]

YESSSSS HES BACKKKK

[@der_azazel]

Yippee more content ❤

[@bernard77777]

glad to see youre on my timeline and see ur back at it. found ur old vods when i got back to trying in civ and im stuck on immortal. cannot catch up to the 9-city making bots lol. but generally feels like the bots get too far ahead of me. Would you advise warring if they steal a city spot early game or is it better to take the loss and play with 2-3 cities? thanks for everything man and good continuation

[@Th4EvilH4nd]

YOOOOO!!!!! Welcome back PC J Law!!

The prodigal son returns

[@lennyghoul]

no frickin way you're back? :)))

[@retartedvideosco]

He’s baaaack!

[@lorenzombolis]

It sould be great to replay this up to the same turn peacefully, and see how the two empires compare.

[@RealityCheck05]

He's back!

[@nonturtle6430]

Even Huns can’t justify Honor… Then civ 5 isn’t honorable!

[@MK_ULTRA420]

Tradition opening with Full Honor is the true meta. Getting Horse Archers with Logistics between turn 50 to 60 thanks to Military Tradition is always worth it.

[@geraldmegnitus6741]

[@liyin9194]

Which civ is your favourite to attack? Some seem easier than others

[@MK_ULTRA420]

To attack? Venice.

[@inwector]

Glad you are back friend. I wish more streams will follow. I do want to tell you that, you might be sick or not, but you creaked your voice a lot during this, and normally you have a very appealing, nice voice, it lowered the quality for me. Just a heads up.

[@JPBigDog]

We are so back

[@caspernijland5631]

So you'd say that no matter who you play, if you have to make the choice between liberty and tradition, if you dont see at least 5/6 (different?) luxuries you see that you would want to settle? or could they be the same

[@MK_ULTRA420]

Get as many new luxuries as you can get. Huns are different because they rely on conquering other civs that probably have all of the luxuries that are needed anyways.

[@nooy2771]

HE IS BACK

[@Verbalaesthet]

When Venice wanted Gold as a favor I think if you agree to give it you get twice the love from him as if you just randomly give him a resource later, right?

[@Baptmetrailler]

Hey PC the boss quick question: why would you go pottery first if you don’t build any shrine? Better revealing the horses first right¿

[@PCJLaw]

It's a good question! It might be best to do that actually, as long as you don't have 2+ resources in your capital that are improved by a Granary!

[@jonichiban]

I love the huns and then upgrading the horse archerss so they get two attacks in one turn

[@MK_ULTRA420]

Getting Logistics on two Horse Archers by turn 55 always feels like an exploit.

[@fouriertransformationsucks438]

Harray!

[@punishedfurry2611]

Hey, is it almost worth it to go for a religion/shrine at the start? Love your videos and your explanations of your thought processes btw

[@UdyKumra]

[@ajamesrichter]

Would love to see a demonstration of Diplomatic victory! I think the only one is the one with austria where greece stole a city

[@ElevateUUU]

I don’t understand the”production trick” that you do when founding a new city. Could someone please explain?

[@khalidmerghani1277]

When a new citizen is born, if you have locked production focus you get a small production boost.

[@takzwanykazik9368]

Hi PC J Law, I was wondering how often do you win your games. Do you have a 100% succes rate or are some games impossible to win?

[@holypizza9015]

When are u gonna finish this game PC? Eagerly waiting!

[@baggienass9162]

Why not move one more at the start for an observatory

[@chryzos3091]

moves away from gold and instant growth tile (horses). Sure the city might expand there in the future but you dont really have the time for that. Gotta be efficient to beat diety.

[@NWA-TjalfeTooStonedToAim]

Thank you for the video, Sir. The part where you can look if the ruin rewards was Culture or Gold also works when it is a Faith reward but you cant spend it ahead of next turn like the Culture tho. The only Deity win I have was in the Pacific Island Hopper scenario and barely stayed ahead of the 3 ai players with 1-2 turns to spare, Unlucky Ethiopia getting roflstomped 😁

[@andrewtobias4545]

Hey if you’re ever looking to do a multiplayer game for content I’m definitely down. I haven’t played in a few years but I basically grew up playing this game, especially in MP. I think I probably have like 10k hours or something total but maybe more (my hours reset once at like 3k or so). Do u have a discord?
