Civ 6 | Is This Mod Impossible? Late Game AI, INSANE Difficulty - (#1 Deity Norway Civilization VI)

A cheeky thing you can do with captured cities that you lack the loyalty to keep is to buy settlers from them to siphion more of the AI's population away.

[@UrsaRyan]

Oh that is cheeky

[@SweenyMarc]

I do love a good pillage game and Ursa sure knows how to war. That first Golden Age dedication was hilarious though, going Free Enquiry with zero harbours or commercial hubs for the whole era to get a grand total of no bonus science, rather than Exodus for the early religion when Norway loves a faith game had me cracking up!

[@MH-hu5pi]

Yeah. That was such a strange pick.

[@UrsaRyan]

Habours come later - I steal a load from people. Plus people forget about the +10% science. That boost, when you have no science, is HUGE I don't have the production to maintain a religion at the moment and -3 loyalty whenever I take a city? No thank you!

[@chrizzie1]

Pillaging and conquering to peg the AI back sounds like a good idea with this mod, leveraging the AI's lack of its usual early-game bonuses to keep them as weak as possible. The question will be whether you can do it fast enough (to everyone) to outpace the ramp up in bonuses promised by the mod. This is gonna be a suspenseful one!

[@LoudWaffle]

Ursa you're putting out way too much excellent content, how am I supposed to get anything done?

[@UrsaRyan]

Watch two videos at once, that will leave you room for more!

[@ezrapark9992]

It hurt so much to see the walls come up aghhh, it was so close. When I’m Norway I crowd the waters as much as possible during a city assault. Every small support adjacency helps

[@UrsaRyan]

Alas you can't get adjacency on city centres but IKWYM

[@bobby_hmm]

So glad you're using this one. I found it from watching Ducks' vids. Totally changes the game to make it much more realistic. I never play without it now... But I do lower the difficulty to Immortal because higher levels mean you have to min/max and it just takes the fun out a bit (for me anyway). Although there's another that Ducks (and I) use with it that makes the AI pursue a specific victory condition, that an important piece.

[@UrsaRyan]

Seems like a great mod to be fair!

Early bears vs Late AI

Yeah this is not a stave church run...!

I wanted to say early bear but watched the video first...Ursa my bear I wish you luck on this series.

[@RobinLSL]

So here's a question, for Ursa or anyone who knows about fine loyalty details. I noticed that when you click on "keep city", you always get a boost in loyalty. I wonder if that's because the loyalty pressure from the city itself doesn't get applied until you click "keep city". If that's the case, the boost here would have been massive, since Argos was getting the maximal -20 (since you had no nearby cities and so the negative loyalty gets functionally divided by 0 and then capped at 20). What I'm saying is, maybe the city could have survived... but only if the mechanics work that way. Is that the fact?

[@UrsaRyan]

You get a +5 bonus for having a unit in an occupied city - that bonus doesn't get factored in until you actually say you're going to occupy it

[@RobinLSL]

@@UrsaRyan oh thank you! So it's just a +5. Good to know, glad that my question was spotted!

[@abelgonzalez158]

Oh wow, what a tilting moment when the walls went up on the Cree capital.

[@UrsaRyan]

Sneaky little cheeks

[@penknight8532]

I've been messing about with these two mods on All Standard Pangea Maps. If you randomize everything it is near impossible but if you change the settings around a bit and pick the Civ's it's seems easy enough to win a Religious Victory. Domination can be a slog. Culture is near impossible for me so far. And I never do Diplo but I'm guessing it is easy enough. Does it make the game more fun? I dunno, just different when you play Insane. You just have to play a certain way. You can't just do whatever you want.

[@Bobbyjonesyrrr]

Man. Why no Fire Goddess pantheon? You got Kilimanjaro and another volcano in your lands. They would print faith.

[@UrsaRyan]

Anything that doesn't help the pillage is to be avoided!!

[@Jusdro]

There is no difficulty level that can’t be overcome by never-ending pillaging!

[@UrsaRyan]

The burning world is easier to conquer

[@JohnDoe-dr9ff]

Yeah, good luck. That unit bonus insane difficulty gives is no joke. It basically trivializes unique units. :/

[@UrsaRyan]

You can never truely trivialise Viking Longboats XD

[@prophetofmen3203]

unlucky that you didnt get the farm pantheon, 8 farm tiles within your capital/2nd/3rd city..although the chances of the volcanos burning up 3 possibly 4...

Raiding is Fun.

I don't understand the decision to conquer the city state. There is no gain in that.

[@MH-hu5pi]

​@@jyutzlerusually yes. But not if your economy is pillage based.

quicker to take a city than build one - instead of making a settler I make 3 to 4 boats - all about building the snowball

walls that go up in the last turn that make your boats useless, non-coastal cities, waiting 20ish turns for the first settler... all the annoying parts of an archipelago game,

[@tvvillageois8588]

« I play Well this civ » Also this Guy : suck at the game

[@mitchellriner3522]

I think it’s pretty unreasonable that a nearly destroyed city can build walls in the middle of a siege. That’s like putting a brand new tire on a broken rim. There should at least be a minimum health requirement for the walls to go up

[@UrsaRyan]

Or if a city is sieged it can't, something like that!
