Civ 6 | This Is THE God Inca Start. Period. I’ve Never Seen Better (#1 Deity Inca Civilization VI)

[@drowsyCoffee]

You know what is the funniest thing? That whole, "focus on culture and everything will come together" idea? Thats actually the meta strat in competitive Civ6, which i find kinda hilarious. As it turns out, Culture having immediate returns, in the form of Policy Cards, gives it quite the tempo advantage over Science

[@UrsaRyan]

It's very true! I practice it in my next game as well and it's amazing what effect it has

[@GoBlueHTB]

It’s very strange to me because I find culture so useless so often. There are often a lot of cards I don’t need to change. New governments are nice but aren’t stronger than tanks and nukes. I just don’t see how you’re supposed to use culture to overcome a science deficit. This gameplay features very pacifist AI.

[@drowsyCoffee]

@@GoBlueHTB Well, Culture Advantage gives ya a bunch of bonuses that are immediately powerful, and that, specially on a balanced setting, such as PvP, give you a considerable edge. To name a few, you get the +4 combat bonus from Oligarchy and the +5 from Fascism, you get the Corps and Army civics for big boosts in unit streng, you get the Professional Army card for half-gold price unit upgrades, allowing you to quickly mass an army through pre-builds, as well as the Retinues card for half-Strategic Resources cost, you get Military Alliances in Civil Service for yet another +5 combat bonus, as well as getting Spies in this same civic for extra Diplomatic Visibility, which also gives a combat bonus, etc. Having a Culture Lead can allow you to have a bigger military, through pre builds, can give you combat bonuses that, when stacked together, give you a big advantage, and, more importantly, gives you immediate economic returns to allow you to snowball harder. This is one of the big reasons for it being preffered over Science a lot of the time. Though Science gives you a lot of economic and military bonuses, the great majority of them, such as unlocking a next tier of units, or a new distric/building, dont really do anything UNTIL you build them, while culture immediately starts paying back on the investment Another reason why Culture gets a bit undervalued in single player is that players kind of ignore the bonuses that you can get through it a lot of the time. To give an example, in Domination, just through getting a Military Alliance, and taking Fascism and Oligarchy as two of you Legacies, you can get an extra +14 combat bonus over your opponents, which is a BIG deal, given that a difference of 14 combat strength is enough to shave an extra 40% HP per attack, being quite hard to surmount. Add to that, as for example, a timing push with Mercenaries to upgrade a bunch of prebuild, or having a Core/Army advantage over your opponent, or getting visibility bonuses from Spies, and you start having a problematic amount of combat strenght over opponents very quickly. Its also important to note that in most cases, any 3 of those combat bonuses from the culture three are enough to equal a difference of a single tier in terms of units, since each unit upgrade gives around a ~15 combat strength bonus, and most of the bonuses you get from culture lay somewhere around ~5 combat strength (With Corp and Armies both giving a *+10*. A Corp of units one tier of tech below than an enemy, with a Military Alliance, is enough to go toe to toe, on average. But by that point, you should also have spies, Oligarchy, etc., making up for the few outliers that get a +20 boost and ending up actually stronger that the cases where the increase is just a +10)

[@Michelle_Wellbeck]

Could you imagine being tasked by your leader to work the tallest mountain in the world?

[@rascototalwar8618]

I mean people do, they carry the shit up for the thrill seeking climbers.

[@Michelle_Wellbeck]

@@rascototalwar8618 You have reason, I guess some will have a natural calling to pursue the extreme. In that case the wonder mountains should yeild Tourism and Culture

[@andresjg6]

Even more impressive, IRL Sherpas in Nepal actually do work the Himalayas with hiking tourists.

[@dghfth7]

go for the Huey Teocalli in that huge lake!!!!!!!

[@ezraalbarra4045]

Yes yes yess

[@smargio]

Commenting on the video to support the channel

[@ryaneylee]

Don't hate the desert, you can build the best wonders in the game on it!

[@Jonnysh]

Ican't belive you're playing the this civ again

[@UrsaRyan]

Smooth

[@ryorai5804]

SECRET TUNNEL THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN

[@GoBlueHTB]

4:30 how did you automatically get 4 terrace farm tacks down surrounding the aqueduct like that? Was it editing? This appeared to be a live commentary so how did 4 tacks appear all at once? Better Map Tacks is my favorite mod and I’ve never known about a shortcut like that.

[@UrsaRyan]

The magic of editing !! haha - I placed them all one by one The funny thing is when I do it IRL, it goes something like "so if I put this", sit in silence for 60 seconds, "and then these" - not until it's stiched together does it make any sense!

[@elbonnybar]

Jesus H christ, how many diamonds do you have, you can really make bank as a long you settle the other side of the everest and the desert wonder, that last one could be worth having 2 cities, a coastal one and one close to the mountains.

[@McAabee]

sup Ursa how you doing lad

[@shankarmurthy9866]

I saw you pass up an 11-turn Machu Pichu and it's driving me mad.

[@UrsaRyan]

Good. Madness is your friend. I am chaos

[@michaelringel273]

It’s kinda funny that Macchu picchu isn’t as great a wonder for the Inca since they want terrace farms there or the preserves as Ursa has shown. Granted ursa has plenty of mountains to work with

[@dghfth7]

Thanks for ameliorating a pretty terrible day with one of my favourite civs.

[@casvoorbraak1870]

Finally, another cultured person!

[@trioofapes3730]

finally! someone who agrees

[@SourceOfBeing]

Part of me wants Ursa Ryan to be so associated with Desert Wonders, that if someone made a Civ based on UR, it would have a bias to building them.

[@Denonator15]

+50% production towards the University of Sankore

[@cinnamonbeardstud]

I like to think the mountains in Civ 6 are made of erratic wormholes and every time units go through tunnels they come out all mismatched.

[@UrsaRyan]

Either that or a system of connected spores that we use to warp through

[@adrianivanov6626]

15:34 petra petra petra petra petra petra petra petra petra petra petra petra whoa, got a little bit excited there

[@Michael_mki233]

Any series where Petra is being built in the first episode is bound to be a good one.

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich? Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich Von 99 Luftballons

[@TheAqualegend]

The music in the background is a nice touch. Much distinguished, many cultured, such wow!

[@SourceOfBeing]

#73 - Did you know, the University of Sankore was one of the first universities in the world?

[@UrsaRyan]

I heard it was quite hot

[@michaelsandy2869]

I was surprised you describe Kabul as useless, as the Inca skirmisher, with its two attacks per turn, benefits enormously from Kabul.

[@UrsaRyan]

That's fair!

[@excancerpoik]

I plaed hungary today fpr the first time it was probobly my new favourite civ the levied units are insane

[@gamer1X12]

Bro check your typos before posting lol... but yeah Hungary is easily S tier. Levied units is really just a cherry on top, the real highlight is 50% towards river districts

[@hawkeye200130]

You are obligated to build matchu picchu as the Inca

[@UrsaRyan]

I am chaos

[@Jocaolinita]

from 1:35 onwards i kept hearing "cold chicken" and i was like, how do you play cold chicken in civ?

[@UrsaRyan]

hahaha

[@araoricoelho]

Eu achava que era só implicância natural a impressão dese jogo seguir um caminho anticapitalista,, mas infelizmente isso se confirmou. E assim a militância socialista segue etragando os jogos e o entreteniment em geral

[@evannewman8381]

This is the first video I've ever seen you save scum (no judgement I do it all the time) 😂

[@rhyanwesthassel7980]

Always love playing the Inca, and just spamming terrace farms.

[@UrsaRyan]

SO satisfying

[@graftonkirk6825]

Yes, the Inca. Love it.

[@ThomasBigum]

Not really "exponential" better yields. Non linear, yes. Not exponential.

[@dinataleluca7062]

What do you think about Machu Pichu and/or Huey Teocalli? and why do you settle on the geothermal fissures?

[@UrsaRyan]

Both are great wonders - Machu is often so competed on Deity that I forget to go for it (especially on this map where every civ would have access to mountains, the chances of me getting it would be slim to none) - Huey I will try to build later = ) Settling on geothermals means your city gets a science on it's on tile, for a tile that usually you can't improve until late game. It also means that any acqueduct you build in that city automatically gets the bonus amenity

[@nerabon8138]

Ugh i can't wait to see more of this!

[@phyein4815]

I'd keep Mexico city personally, they are one of my favorite city states and this is exactly the kind of empire they'd come in handy with

[@JohnnoBogan]

Campuses - over rated. Just like Oxford irl. Focus on culture and become a tuber. Look where it's getting Ryan!

[@UrsaRyan]

Tis my goal in life! Haha

[@NexusNoxCS]

Yes! This is exactly the kind of game I love!

[@draconiandraco]

I can't believe I didn't realize "Incas can work mountain tiles" means preserves are op.

[@UrsaRyan]

It really is a lot of fun! If you play with PC I'd also reccomend the Tibet mod for this very reason also

[@ryaneylee]

The 10 oclock jungle hill tile on the everest city, that would have been the perfect preserve spot after you learnt that everest cant be worked

[@UrsaRyan]

I do these things so that you don't have to!

[@jaydenmoon1165]

since Civ 5 my best playthroughs have always been with the Inca - before I start I have to point myself to a certain win strategy or I get lost building terrace farms XD

[@UrsaRyan]

They have to be one of the most fun civs to play in the game!

[@arminrichard1836]

only downside to nasca lines -> u cannot work them so putting them around the wonder kind of counter productive

[@UrsaRyan]

True - but they do make the other tiles a lot better. Unless a city gets over 25 pop you normally don't need to worry

[@Dawsonsincedawsonstaken]

Day 16 of commenting to beat the algorithm

[@J0krswy1d]

That settle in place with the aqueduct to the SE and the four terrace farms around it.. oh yes! ..those horses though. Shit..

[@jurajvucaj1819]

How do I get icons on great person ?

[@Zak6959]

As far as your aqueduct district and horses conflict, that’s why pencils have erasers.🇨🇦

[@mckyd6565]

One of the most underrated thing in this channel, is the bathroom music, sooooo relaxing

[@TheLonelyBrit]

Doesn't really make sense that you can't work Everest with preserves as Inca, as with any other natural wonder you can add yields. I suppose it's, well Everest, so it's not the most accessible of places, but neither are most normal mountains.

[@UrsaRyan]

Tourism from world wonders makes a lot of sense to be fair

[@molarmauler]

Brilliant gameplay. You are making art

[@UrsaRyan]

Thank you so much 😀

[@TheCheesedodo]

You MUST download a mod to let you chop out strategic and luxury resources. No more districts getting blocked! You should be able to do this in base game

[@UrsaRyan]

Perhaps! I'm a big preacher of not using a mod like that. Getting used to the limitations of districts can be a pain but it will help massively with general adaptability and skill level

[@Metstlipili]

i love getting home from work and falling asleep to your videos you magnificent bear. Greetengs from Mexico. Still waiting my aztec gam

[@UrsaRyan]

You won't be waiting too long...! ;)

[@boyzorro]

I am new to CIV and your editing is too fast for my brain processing power, just FYI

[@UrsaRyan]

Sorry to hear that - if you check out some of the guides I do on the various victory types / deity guides, you'll enjoy the pacing a bit more I think while you learn = )

[@joehelland1635]

Peru is covered in alpine desert. :)

[@travisagne1752]

so with pacachuti do the preserve yields add onto mountain tiles? changes how I play him forsure

[@UrsaRyan]

they do! only the inca can work tiles so they are the only ones to be able to do it. they can create insane tiles

[@darrismoore-ward1312]

Came from the wonderful Playlist you've created for the Inca. 👌👍👍

[@UrsaRyan]

Wohoo! Welcome!

[@lordarcyus2862]

This game is the perfect example of why I play with harvestable luxuries and strategics

[@UrsaRyan]

Haha - I'm a big preacher of not using a mod like that. Getting used to the limitations of districts can be a pain but it will help massively with general adaptability and skill level

[@portland573]

This looks tasty already

[@UrsaRyan]

It's already looking to be a mad game!

[@vacinden]

The remove all resources from tiles mod should be in the base game. You can dig tunnels through mountains but removing a few horses is too hard?

[@UrsaRyan]

I mean IRL moving horses from one field to literally the next field can be almost impossible

[@vacinden]

That way sheep and cows should not be able to be harvested either. These animals are notoriously hard to herd.

[@Game159]

What’s the seed

[@UrsaRyan]

Come to discord for the save file!

[@smurfyjosh]

For the tasty yields

[@TitanOfGlory]

Hey URSA!

Hey!

@@UrsaRyan how are you, also go to bed bro

[@elbonnybar]

the other side of the mountain range, the one where fez is, it's kind of bugging me, since it's still in the fog i can't tell if there like some giga preserve to plug in.

It's always so teasing isn't it
