[@jordan3400]

Someone donates $100 Lewis: thanks... So uhh.. I think we should work this tile.. 😂😂

[@McKillaboy]

That's like drinking money for Lewis lol

[@YTCENS0R]

Toilet paper.

[@dickiemckay]

It was just a small donation of a million dollars.

[@communistcat3240]

somone donates $1000000 lewis: thanks so uhh i think we should work this tile

[@Lone_Archiver]

Timestamp?

[@jakearmstrong3661]

I been watching yogscast for years and I feel like Lewis gets better with age

[@michaelquerty2835]

Da Carrotman couldn't agree with you more

[@Psykoged]

Lewis is like a fine wine confirmed

[@zecoregamer5288]

Beastly no, he is the fine wine

[@danielprice321]

True... *remembers "How to survive the first night"* So true

[@michaelquerty2835]

Shamwow Games remembers shadow of israphel 😪

[@mchrzestek]

I am not interested in a trade agreement with England!

[@alexeveringham4529]

Funky meme, bro.

[@jan-erikstrm4497]

Spain says "No.".

[@TheSpacecraftX]

Fuck Spain for that thanks very much. Sincerely, Scotland.

[@fakeaccount663]

holy shit, thats my next 3 hours sorted then

[@MrRcas101]

Homunculus so true XD

[@liamsawyer8193]

Same

[@GamerSpace10]

yeees its going to be epic

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

only 15 min in and I can tell this will be way better played than the viking playthrough

[@jan-erikstrm4497]

I'm 30 mins in and already want more viking stuff. To each their own, as they say, eh? :P

[@Vexillarii]

Gotta admit, that viking playthrough was full of action!

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

yea but they werent paying any attention to their cities, it was all, build ships, now what, eh build a campus i guess, now build more units! though I blame Duncans dumb ass for that

[@maarten_burger]

Fuck me I missed a Lewis solo stream? Damnit!

[@OnlyInt]

image sorts out everything doesnt it now

[@adrienlema-peters5356]

is it just me or does Lewis look more and more like a necromancer the closer we get to the Christmas livestreams

[@foreng3095]

It's just his organism is preparing to GET FUCKED UUUUP!

[@WoodlandDrake]

2:57:00 "This is a garbage start" Settle across the river! One tile away, and you got a decent food and production income for turn 1 and you don't give up a freshwater city! Correct me if I am wrong, I only have this video to go off of.

[@robbrothers9290]

Lewis, China is worker boosted Wonders. Aztec is worker boosted Districts. Egypt builds wonders faster next to rivers and can build them on flood plains.

[@fgnsfgnsfgn]

it feels like lewis spends all his time preparing for things that he doesn't get around to doing because he's preparing for other things

[@pigpig252]

so hyped for the Christmas streams! Just over a month to go! Gotta get that 7-man major power HoI game boiiii

[@robloxtheincinerator8790]

nice vault 111 thing

[@calvaryn]

Ayeeee we got a fun night ahead of us lads!

[@Terrados1337]

This video will serve me well. Lewlew's gentle voice of reason shall sing me to sleep while educating me on the topic of Civ6.

[@raulepure9840]

anyone understood why he move his setler away from the river at the begining losing 2 housing, 1 stone tile and 1 better banana tile it was adumb move from my pov

[@kato5015]

He did it for a good comercial hub (not worth it)

[@cesarbahena474]

Raul Epure he can build an aqueduct

[@adamcummings20]

Raul Epure I've only ever played Civ 5 but doesn't building on a river give a lot of rewards?

[@CharlieQuartz]

I think he did it because it was "dangerous" and he was trying to give the AI a small advantage.

[@pyroshaun1990]

yeah adjacency bonuses, as you said though, probably not worth it

[@deniseremin7779]

Masterclass at Prince difficulty level, so awesome!!!! Next time try it on Settler

[@Force2reckonVods]

Lewis Logic "I would never get all of this in MP, so I won't do it in singleplayer" I mean... I understand it, I just don't agree, kinda the best part of Singleplayer is being able to do things you couldn't normally do in MP, it's difficulty locked anyway so I'd just enjoy it while I had it and remind myself that it won't be that way in MP.

[@Force2reckonVods]

"I love this part of the game, exploring and deciding what to do" "Uhhh I hate scouting, it's just so annoying" Obviously the joy of making decisions is so exhilarating that it beats scouting up and drags it along

[@RoastBushTurkey]

So excited for Civ 6

[@zacharycomose7950]

Damn I can't wait to play this Friday.

[@AlphaRS64]

Civ 6 looks incredible. I have an issue with the time it takes to look at the different policies and tech/cult trees during a multiplayer game. I think it would take too long where that few min turn timer might have to be 5-10 min to get everything right during a massive war. What do you think about the multiplayer since I am just assuming. I can't wait for the game :D

[@Steven-rb7ph]

I love how at the start of the stream Lewis says he is going to rush through the game!

[@shakaama]

I don't know this guy, so i'm not a fanboy, nor a hater, but this was in no way a masterclass.

[@Benjamin-bj6xj]

Shakaama he’s known for being a fucking bad ass in civ, he made mistakes in this for handicaps

[@niels6497]

Lewis is amazing :)

[@jamespack4794]

I like the way the map tile flash green if needed repair

[@grizwoldmayor6671]

Scarborough Fair playing in the background. Beautiful.

[@darnchacha1632]

good, one more thing to waste time on whist I wait for civ 6, Thanks

[@SpixIo]

Starts at 0:48 :)

[@Dexter101x]

I thought this was a live stream when I first saw this

[@ToastedSynapseGaming]

30:19 - Sean Bean dies

[@Dexter101x]

Toasted Synapse Gaming lol

[@lucadefranco3420]

+ plezx29 it is a livestream...

[@Dexter101x]

Luca DeFranco No it's not

[@theGiantAngryRobot]

that tune at the end was great lol

[@grexjr1420]

Just Lewis and his civ skills. Oh snap.

[@themrfj]

54:45 - I laughed my ass off. Good job Lewis :D

[@bclaytz]

Why is gold bad to be going for (21:20)? I'm a newcomer to the Civ series and have just finished my second game of Civ 6, sorry if it's a newbie question.

[@quiggy92]

Hey Lewis did you/will you get around to making that video focused on strategy and tips you mentioned in the video?

[@SupersonicApe]

3 minutes into the game and lewis is already breaking out the cheats

[@xXDARKTERRORXx1]

+Nick Moon that's not cheating.nIt's like a cooking show who cook food in advance

[@jan-erikstrm4497]

He's doing a livestream, the prepped save was made so he wouldnt waste stream time rerolling the world. I personally think rerolling a world is cheating but I'm not playing civ games to entertain thousands of people. Cut him some slack, it's for your benefit after all.

[@unorthodoxbox]

Ah a stream with my favorite Yogscast member :3 my next three hours are gonna be good.

[@LoftySkinner]

By moving your first settler where you did, you lost your optimal encampment spot, (between the lake and the bananas) I would just have moved inland, settling on the hill that was directly left since as England you have to get a harbor anyway. (That encampment would have been a good way to force invaders from the sea through the inlet)

[@konception8945]

lewis getting his practice in for the first yogscast civ6 games

[@dmau5e]

Hi, I just started playing Civ6, so this is very good for learning the game. I've got one question though, in my first playthrough I ended up with a very income based game, with lots of gold from tiles, city-state trade routes and commercial districts, which I thought was good since I would just buy units and focus my production on buildings and alike. However Lewis here keeps sorta downplaying gold in this game, can someone give me a more detailed explanation why that is? Thanks. Btw another quick one, I saw another video where they say Plains(hills) are the best tile for making new cities but he says here that is not that good?

[@seraphine8142]

when lewis said "i just wanted to play a minecraft series with duncan i was like" OOOO ship it. lols

[@phooogle]

I have a problem with how cluttered the graphics are on these games. IS the strategic view any good for this?

[@drconspiiracyy4680]

Top notch Lewis banter

[@TheMrSmirky]

when the lady moves behind him! I died!

[@McKillaboy]

Well, there goes my night.

[@ahmadabrahim5107]

I wouldnt mind more streams of just Lewis

[@2dumd2live]

Is that song at the end out on iTunes yet ?

[@MatanBenMoshe]

Anyone knows what is the name of the music at 32:00?

[@jasonvos4430]

i love how the first lesson is if you dont have the start you want just scrap it lol

[@sulanoji]

"Bam its me.. lewis..."the best intro ever and by the the A SOLO LEWIS VIDEO WOW its really cool (and uxpected)

[@andrejoss475]

I love how he already knows that he is going to be 4v1 in multiplayer :D

[@Smaxzii]

Are there no units like xcoms? I mean non-existing units?

[@theGiantAngryRobot]

I hope we get a Scottish civ eventually, so many great choices. Robert the Bruce or maybe William the Lion? I know they had a very impressive naval force in the medieval period and if we could work in some sort of special engineering perk I would be a happy camper

[@Mar_Marine]

Little late, but boy do I have news for you...

[@inexister7371]

Lewis, you're the best!

[@GamerSpace10]

make more of these videos Lewis

[@deviniusmaximus2131]

what are the specs of your rig?

[@PaulRees77]

1:39:10 "is that what Petra looks like?" lol

[@Pickle_Candy]

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen Lewis do solo video/livestream before.

[@RronKarahoda]

It was nice to see Lewis talk himself out of expressing distaste for Tomyris/Scythia. They are pretty cool and their gamplay is a nice combo of military/religious.

[@jarczy1552]

Cannot wait for it to come out in 2 days

[@ratchetqwark89]

3 days

[@jarczy1552]

Oh on steam it said 2 days so i thought it was only 2

[@ratchetqwark89]

Jarczy well for me it says 21st which is a friday

[@PurpleSyrup14]

Good to watch while waiting for Steam to install the game. :)

[@andreszapata4972]

Is it possible to set subtitles? With that we could understamd better

[@rchristie5401]

odd tile choice for a city!

[@mediumone701]

Plays as England Shows UK flag Triggered

[@thegamingraptor420]

Did they take out the Shoshone (sjinshone) but add them Cythia people not good

[@EremittV]

i just listened to scarborough fair and now i hear it again as the theme of england, it's a good choice tbh.

[@jan-erikstrm4497]

I think it's general, the vikings also had it. Same for greensleeves.

[@EremittV]

I'm watching the last episode of civ 6 from the yogscast right now and i'm hearing a scandinavian rendition of it. I guess you're right. I saw a video recently explaining how the soundtrack works in civ 6 and how it evolves during the eras. There scarborough fair was used as the theme for engeland. Pretty odd...

[@NerdOracle]

lewis looks absolutely magnificent in the thumbnail xD

[@lucadefranco3420]

5:45 "Them having to come into my inlet sounds like a nightmare for them to do." Wow Lewis. I guess you do have trouble staying straight.

[@Mgrow]

Lewis came into my inlet. But the Police won't believe me.

[@ClavisRa]

Great Library would be powerful if your early game is really strong in culture with minimal science, and you beeline the civic and chop out Great Library. If you have a really focused game where you will be missing lots of boosts, it's a situationally really powerful wonder.

[@unemployedbean]

lewis messed up by not caring about faith. In multiplaer he will need it to defend in the later game against invading religion as well as get the specfic great people he needs for his victory path, whatever that may be. Also seeing as religion and pantheon give some sort of boost, better than nothing.

[@ninja34744]

How do people like you already know about what's "good" moves? The game isn't out yet?

[@Jcd357]

Lewis also doesn't know that in Civ 6 a Pantheon will always stay with the civ that finds it regardless if another civ comes and puts their religion in the city

[@jan-erikstrm4497]

You're right, you cant defend against other civs religions converting you late game without a strong religion. Meaning you cant go for the religious victo... oh wait, he isnt. Your opinion is invalid.

[@unemployedbean]

+Jan-Erik Strøm The first half of your comment was correct, but then it went off the rails. Just because you are able to defend against a religion, does not mean you can or even are going for the religiois victory type. He said he was trying to play realistically, right? Then if someone in multiplayer was going down that path he would be litterally powerless to stop them winning. Also technically an opinion can't be "invalid", in other words wrong. An opinion can be stupod as hell, based on mis-information and ignorance, but can never actually be invalid due to it being based on what a person feels, not facts. Hope this cleared up your confusion about the religious vic. type.

[@jan-erikstrm4497]

unemployedbean It is invalid though as Lewis wasnt going for religious power. What I said wasnt confused in the least, as religion is mostly geared towards great people generation and religious victory. Lewis plays this game from how his start turns out, if he had been in a position to play religious, he would've chosen to and would've done his best with it. However, he decided not to, so any viewpoints as to him being mistaken in not playing faith is invalid as he played to the best of his abilities with his starting point and pantheon. There actually isnt so that each civ can get a religion in this game, someone will always be left without and will be using another religions stuff. If anything, Lewis could take advantage of someone elses religion most likely to fight off the religion becoming dominant. However, I dont know how religion bonuses work well enough to have an opinion on that yet. Religion can be ignored completely though.

[@pedroenguiao4614]

We need Simon and Lewis to do more series in CIV 6

[@shauncagney2811]

Just experienced a similar crash to the one Lewis had in this video. Keeps crashing every time I try to end the turn. Gonna look for similarities I guess lol

[@silversurfie]

Wondering why you didnt build directly left of your starting location across the river? You dont need to be next to the coast to build the shipyards/docks now.

[@rchristie5401]

strange move alright

[@ThePeaceluffer]

maybe at the time that wasn't an option yet

[@evanpc7002]

What difficulty is this on?

[@jeffrey778]

is it worth takeing over a city-state, or just using the envoys to milk them?

[@fishpop]

All the Ads i had for this 'stream were the Civ VI Launch Trailer.

[@acetabularia03]

You're slightly irked by the fact Scythia is in the game, I'm slightly irked that there's 2 leaders for Greece in the game (Yes I'm fully aware the various Poleis were more or less independent city states, but still!

[@mattkerr67]

what lvl was this on?

[@robsonbarstow9613]

Where are these streams taking place?

[@byniavo6505]

in the Yogscast's apartment/tower

[@thruthewormhole]

5:40 I know coming in inlets can be really painful

[@ingenierocarlos8310]

what difficulty is this?

[@Bengtssonsan]

Scythia: Steppe Horde nation from the area north of the Caspian Sea, expanded towards modern Ukrain. Time period: About the same as the Roman Empire.

[@YTCENS0R]

Actually, he's wrong, or looking at it wrong. All Civs are strong but at different intervals of the game. Early/Mid/Late Game. Similar to the meta of moba types.

[@slowfire1]

Lewis please me a super noob friendly guide-ish video for Civ 6. I bought civ 5 but i couldn't stomach playing it for longer than 4hours because i was being bombarded by information, and I would love to actually enjoy the game.

[@PrinceKireil]

Lewis needs his own channel. Seriously.

[@SAITO2]

still would like to know which civ game it will be for the december live streams

[@Spartan117am]

well considering that they are constantly stating that "this is the last match" in Big Hitters, i'm sure it's this one

[@AlexApost]

what map is this?

[@janat234]

Shudve gone online speed for England. Also should've looked at rushing ships for defense through seas.

[@jfcwtfusernames]

Get on with it!!!

[@grizwoldmayor6671]

Huzzah! Three more days, folks! Also, apparently my birthday is only one day before Lewis'. Maybe my life has meaning now.

[@ac3p093]

Nah

[@AwesomeAsh99]

Lewis is such a cutie

[@kenroleinvald3630]

gay

[@kingckfu]

sounds pretty gay to me

[@golebiewsky]

LuLu

[@NorbetWerby]

I'd come into his inlet, if you know what I mean... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@DearValentina]

Worth it being gay when you are talking about Lulu-senpai

[@deterritorialisatised_slot]

i think thats scarborough fair remixed

[@Zei33]

How in the hell has it been 6 years since civ 6 came out

[@pindakaas42]

why does this magnificent bastard not have his own channel?^^

[@jordan3400]

pindakaas42 Because it would fuck over Simon.

[@jan-erikstrm4497]

They're both boring af alone, but stick em in the same game and the chaos gods unleash their full fury on it. The more yogs you add to the mix, the better it gets.

[@xxJing]

Lewis lacks spontaneity, and Simon lacks direction. Lewis excels at direction, and Simon excels at spontaneity.

[@DigitalBash]

This is NOT a Master Class on CIV 6. It is a pre-saved starting spot on PRINCE...

[@eagames456]

I wonder how many people made it to the song at the end :D

[@kopuz.co.uk.]

strum starts at 1:37:28

[@gabrielmarciu69]

why didn't he just settle London on tile to the left on that hill with acces to a river?

[@ericbeich]

3 more days till release!!!!!!!!! Chooo choo!!!!

[@treyshaw3474]

Eric Beich wait when is it released? Monday or Saturday?

[@epicgriffin65]

FRIDAY WOOO

[@TheCreativeSheeps]

Friday isn't it? Should be on the 21st.

[@kopuz.co.uk.]

[@ericbeich]

Thanks for sharing.

[@cameltanker1286]

The Ancient Greeks gave the name Scythia (or Great Scythia) to all the lands north-east of Europe and the northern coast of the Black Sea.

[@PS3centere]

Why dont people build mines on hills?

[@semitope]

first hour trying to figure out where to settle

[@byniavo6505]

[@3styl781]

"So what are your final remarks on civilization 6?" "The desert tiles are shit"
