Civ 6 | Unifying China Is Going To Be SO HARD (Tough Cities!) - (#2 Deity Mongolia Civilization VI)

[@Grivehn]

Genghis coming in and first helping out in a (basically) joint war, then slapping his grandson to rule the entirety of China is some real soap opera level of family drama right there.

[@evenmoor]

As _Mulan_ put it: "Now all of China knows you're here!" "Perfect!"

I never thought of myself as the baddy but I did kill the emporer I guess!

[@SourceOfBeing]

£253 - History classes at the University of Sankore teach that not only was the Great Wall of China ineffective in preventing the Mongol Invasion, it was so ineffective that it provided China's enemy with valuable materials for their own empire.

[@UrsaRyan]

Rumour has it that most of the university was built with scrapped parts of the wall

[@UrsaRyan]

We HAVE a unified china "Unified china at home"...

[@iwatchwithnoads7480]

Halaqu Khan (brother of Kublai Khan) could never rise to power without the endorsement, political support of Berke Khan in the highest levels of Mongol government and military support of hoardes of Berke Khan. They were the dream cousins, besties forever.... Until Berke Khan grew a conscience, turned his army on Halaqu Khan, effectively stopping one of most brutal series of invasions in history.

i really was looking for the second episode. great series. ty ursa

[@UrsaRyan]

Welcome!

[@JohnCena-fp4qg]

This series is awesome! I can’t wait to see it played to fruition. Long live The mongol horde under the Great Blue!

[@nerdographics]

I laughed when Ursa said that he left combat points on the table against China because he couldn’t get a trade route to them. Just an unfortunate bit about geography for the Mongols. I laughed because it isn’t the first time Geography ruined the Mongol plans. Cough typhoon Japan cough

[@SourceOfBeing]

It'd be interesting if there was a mod that basically removed all Techs and Civics past a certain era from the game.

[@TheLonelyBrit]

Sure it's not a straight line but, in the desert between your cities & Scythia's I'd have put the city down on the tile to the south east of the copper. Form there you can put a preserve on the tile north west of the copper, an aqueduct to the south west of the city, an industrial zone next to that between the niter, & maybe a campus by the mountains or a commercial hub for more traders.

[@SweenyMarc]

I've often thought the Great Wall improvement needs a bit of a tweak. If it exerted zone of control it would slow down advancing enemy units and pillaging it should probably just break that, not provide a gold reward. As it is, it basically just helps attacking forces!

[@UrsaRyan]

Zone of control would be mad!

[@kaleabhip]

Hey @Ursa, if you want to have a fun, crazy and chill game, you can play the cracked Babylon in this slow eras setting. It will be fun to see tanks and biplanes in medieval era

[@UrsaRyan]

Yeah, might get messy!!!

[@evildzik]

This is actual mindporn 👏🏻

[@isaachilburn5515]

Figured out the issue that I mentioned, below. KZbin downloaded a low-res version and was playing that, instead of streaming the video in high res. Blargle. Original post: Is anyone else having an issue with the video playing back in super low res. When I go to settings to try and force it to stream on high quality, it says: Unavailable…. I will try downloading the video to see if that increases the quality. Otherwise, super awesome! (So awesome)!! Thank you Ursa and Happy New Year!!

[@UrsaRyan]

Weird! Glad you got it sorted!

[@JZhao95]

My hometown is Urumqi, really enjoy the video you put out. Would it be possible to move a civilian/support unit with multiple Keshiks in a simple turn? I mean linking one unit with the first Keshik to move until there's only one movement pt left for the first Keshik to unlink and move away, and then link the unit with a second Keshik and move again. Even if this does not work save few Keshiks around without upgrading them can be helpful.

[@UrsaRyan]

It's the Keshik that gives the movement - so yes in theory you could chain them if you had enough!

[@chrizzie1]

The escort movement is really the Keshig's strong point in my opinion; it means great generals and support units can keep up with your light and heavy cavalry units.

[@UrsaRyan]

very handy I can't lie!

[@widgetb]

Can't wait for the next instalment!

Ya, not going with Grant master chapel is such a mistake - 1. You picked the belief specifically for this strategy; 2. The spy is just too slow; way more effective just buy enough units with faith and roll over 😂

[@UrsaRyan]

Having an extra spy comes in very, very handy later. My faith was busy being used on other things!

Essentially, there's a civil war going on in China and a foreign power intervenes and they both team up. I don't think I've seen this happen before.

[@robmartin525]

It's a shame the AI never worked out aircraft and AA Because on historical mode we could have had a pretty meaty Battle of Britain!!!

[@UrsaRyan]

There are some decent mods that make both a bit better, but yeah a severely underplayed part of the game!

[@liuyusi125]

Love the yield porn part / always welcoming

[@wintermute1943]

Actually, the Great Wall ws never intended to keep the northern nomads out if they ever attacked in force. It was more about stopping the day to day raiding ...... wait .....you meant in just this game .... nm.

[@portland573]

Contrary to the rolling horde ethos, but wonder if it's worth a few turns without war once Scythia is roflstomped, just to shed some war weariness? Sadly don't think there are any generals who retire to reduce war weariness in these eras...

[@UrsaRyan]

War weariness is a problem yes! Liberalism and Classical Republic legacy help though = )

Couldn't you carry the settler further? Each turn, move in formation with a Keshig, then move the settler out of formation into another adjacent Keshig, move in form, move settler out again, move in formation one last time

[@JohnnoBogan]

Should work ok. A bit like Jong escorts over the sea.

I do it a bit - I forget from time to time but most of the settler movement I fdo off cam - I'll try and mention it later
