scouts are great when youre playing on a map with at least default size of the map, there will be more city-states which gives huge early bonuses like 2 faith per turn from religious city-state (easy early pantheon), or 2 science per turn (which is a lot when you get it very early). I like to make myself a scout or even 2 scouts when playing on bigger maps or/and when having more production than food (for example: my scout will be build in x turns but my population will be bigger in 1.5x or 2x turns), but i dont need a builder or any other unit so scout is the only option there xd

Something everyone else does that I never do? Build spies. I always have some terrible rng on them and its not like they are needed to win, since they come that late, so...

I created a map for myself with only one other AI, starting from Industrial. AI was France. Holy shit. She took so much gold from me and ruined my Prod district and my cosmoproject :( So when I have her on the map, I use a lot of spies. But I should have a spy in major cities and create at least two spies who will go to the AI's capital It's exhausting

One thing that I never do that everyone else does? Easy, sending apostles to die in order to get relics. I legit cannot make myself do this no matter how much I can use the relics. I really wish an apostle with martyr would just spawn a relic when you exhaust their spreads just like cultists do

I never even use my last apostle charge. I treat my leftover apostles like a religious military scout. I use them to team up on enemy religious units I see approaching and also I get to keep an eye on whatever other civs are doing. Maybe the extra charge would be better spent and getting the extra spread sooner, but I feel like the amount I gain each time I kill one of their religious units should more than make up for it. That’s what I tell myself anyway

I feel like 2 slingers is enough early on. Maybe 3 if you have an agressive neighbor. You just dont need warriors if you position correctly. Use your capital as a better meat shield, just make sure to not quite lose it

[@TheCivLifeR]

true but just in case have some future swords/muskets with 2 promotions

[@tippyc2]

I'm with you here. Lately i haven't been building any warriors at all beyond the given one. A couple slingers turned into archers is all you really need to stave off early attacks, plus a scout to go searching for places to settle. Also, I'm just not a fan of the warrior upgrade path. By the time i get to swordsman, the AI's have crossbows make them irrelevant. By the time i get to man-at-arms, i also get to coursers which have the same combat strength and 2.5x the movement.

[@paulsmith5752]

@@tippyc2 One benefit of the Scout's 3 movement is to hide it out of range of cities. It feels SO SWEET to hammer a city down using 3 or 4 archers and then use a scout the city can't see to deal the death blow.

[@DJBVWA]

I usually make a monument and 3 slingers (no, I'm not good), b-line to archery... then leave then as slingers until a civ attacks, then upgrade. 3 for the boost to xbows and I often go for 3 cities, build infrastructure before further expansions... unless there are tasty tiles I want to grab now.

[@Krakatit30]

I won a lot of deity games with scout -> slinger -> settler. The trick is to get archery as fast as possible, if a barb camp is not producing you can clear it with only one slinger of you position him correctly, and get the archery boost.

I was playing the Ottomans on Mediterranean map real location on immortal. I made a mistake in choosing the factions cause France and Poland had all the lands in Northern Europe for themselves also Poland immediately killed Hungary. In the middle east I had close proximity with Georgia, Persia, Phoenicia, and Egypt. Persia was the most aggressive as they killed the Hattussa city state I was suzerain of and aggressively settled near me. They were the most powerful force in the middle east, but I was able to ally the other 3 neighboring cubs to dogpile Persia in a golden age war. I took me like 100 turns to take the first Persian city of conquered Hattussa cause I was so behind in science and culture, I needed corps to make progress. Oil was in short supply in the game, so I was lucky to build tanks and artillery with the little oil I had, which gave me a massive advantage against other nations cause they didn't have oil contrived units. Once finally captured most of Persia's territories. I managed to catch up to equal power of Poland in science culture and military. France however... Was out of everybody's league and they were gonna win science victory. Diplomacy victory was my only chsnce, and I managed to trick the system by voting for my self for the proposal of losing 2 diplomatic points which means in reality it reduced the penalty to 2. So I was able to cheese a diplomatic victory and win a whole lot of achievements with it.

I'm Scout, Warrior, Slinger. Pretty much always. Scout looks out for early threats and goodies and serves as a swing meat shield as needed. Warrior deals with the early barb camp. Slinger goes for the archer inspiration and then stays accessibly near home. All 3 look for suitable city locations.

[@makicarajevac3231]

I think voidsingers is the most OP Secret Society in the game. First, all old god obelisks hold a great work, meaning you can gain era score for building them if you pick the right dedication. Second, medieval era ability is BUSTED. You can have science and culture higher than all other civs without building a single campus or theater district. Third, the cultists allow you to take a strategic city from a civ more powerful than you without declaring war. Even in a domination victory, I'm going to research astrology first.

[@MaddaTheApache]

I have to say, after winning on Diety on almost every Civ besides some of the boring ones from the DLC, I have to wholeheartedly disagree with your Scout take. I have noticed my consistency go through the roof by simply changing my build order in the early game to maximize scouting. As you even stated before your scout argument, "the early game build order is perhaps the most important as it can impact the rest of your game." Which is very true! The double scout lead I play in 98% of games now makes it so you can consistently meet other Civs, get all the tribal villages around your area, and maximize the information you have for settling spots. I think most of the top-tier Diety players would agree that Monumentality golden ages in the classical and Med eras are some of the most influential bonus abilities you can get in the game to iron out your infrastructure and settling. These golden and heroic ages are infinitely easier when you can first meet city-states into an easy Suz. Tribal villages, although RNG, can spike early-game units/artifacts that can snowball your game in an insane way. I think the more game modes you play with, Hero, Corps, etc... the more valuable scouts get too. Getting Herc or Himiko early game because you aggressively scouted city states etc is game-breaking in the early game. Early meeting Voidsingers and securing a super-powerful pantheon is game-breaking.

You're not the kind of civer I get to come across often. Fresh!

No builders or settlers in the beginning? You will fall insanely far behind...

You should try a Pillage Economy. It's pretty insane how you can pillage your way to victory without actually taking cities.

[@ducttape82]

Harald Hardrada agrees

[@penknight8532]

@@ducttape82 lol yeah... that's probably the best Civ for Pillaging :)

Here's one i always see suggested and disagree with: building warriors. The only thing they're good for is defeating early barb camps. Beyond that, they're not useful in battle and the upgrade path just sucks. They get outclassed as soon as archers appear, but you have to wait another dozen turns before you can upgrade to swordsman (assuming you rolled any iron). And by the time you get to swordsman, the deity AI already has crossbows to make them irrelevant. If you hold out for man-at-arms, you probably also unlocked the cavalry along the way, knights and coursers. They have the same combat strength, double the movement, and upgrade pathsd that remain relevant into the latest of late games. There's just no scenario where the warrior retains enough long-term value to make it worthwhile wasting your early game production on it. You could have gotten a religion instead, or trained another settler, or built an extra district

[@dzmitrynikalaichyk6807]

Funny thing is that all of those advices - universally bad in multiplayer. Playing against bots and real people are 2 completely different games of Civ

[@cptpocket]

So much hate on the Scout lol! Did you know that when discovering other Civs with a Scout they will like you more, which can/is a big boon in early game.

[@twilightgamedesigns4887]

Is building the religious district and trying to get the benefits from it in a non religious victory just a waste of time??????

[@Nathan-yu7cu]

No. Faith as economy is the most broken playstyle. Monumentaility and the faith purchasing units building are both broken.

[@nategaston5022]

I found I disagreed with things here and there in your videos but kept watching them cause some stuff was good, but man, I don't know if I can do this whole 'shit-poster' dialogue you've adopted here lately. Just stick to the info man.

[@Beach_Boomer]

Gotta lol @ 10:40

[@flapjack-qr2le]

most of the time you wanna start with a scout the scout has so much value, not building a scout is just wrong and lack of understanding the game

[@DAS1337]

Why?

[@tippyc2]

@@DAS1337 Because it's one (cheap) unit who can cover the ground of 2. Gives you the chance to find wonders and continents early, and plan better settle locations to carry you through mid game.

[@alex2005z]

Building a scout is asking to be railed by the AI

[@bomorris5050]

WAY too many 1-liners.

[@ShaqPlaque]

I've used Real Strategy for a while, but recently turned it back off. One thing that unmodded AIs do is beeline religions. With Real Strategy, some will, but some won't. The difficulty of securing a religion on Deity while balancing your other early production choices is one of the things that makes Deity difficult, and I found I prefer not being able to always found religion #4 with no effort. That said, its otherwise great and definitely better at warfare than unmodded or AI+

[@markcampbell9109]

I’ve never heard of Real Strategy, what does it do?

[@markcampbell9109]

Jk I finished the video lol

[@Omegeddon]

I'd argue it could be smarter for some civs to abandon religion in favor of another early advantage that actually plays into their win con instead of rushing religion just cuz

[@cendresaphoenix1974]

Or ... Just play china spam builders then spam warriors

[@lejonbrames1278]

i turn off the world congress and diplomacy victories, theyre just annoying. I would like it more if i could say no to proposals in exchange for angering the other civs and diplomacy victory is the dumbest thing on earth. A country in reality could just say no and not listen.

What the fuck is secrete society

[@matthewprovencio6020]

Its a game mode you can choose when starting a new game. Its from one of the expansions

This guy has such an annoying and toxic way of narrating his videos. I love Civ but can't get even halfway through one of his videos with his cringy jokes

[@Thatisthewayipromiseyou]

Cringiest bullshit I’ve ever watched. 99% of the comments are in favor of his “style” that’s how you know his audience is primarily made up of 12 year olds
