Dalai Lama Drivethrough | Civ V: Tiny Wars Episode #6

Duncan's religion is starting to spread across the tiny land, but surprisingly most people seem chill about it. Maybe Mr. Lama raises some good points. Particularly since Lewis hasn't bothered building Shrines. Like, at all.

Gotta love Duncan rounding down his science constantly

[@velnoa]

At some point you’d think they’d figure out he always downplays it lol

[@bwood6337]

Honestly, for his position on the map I don't blame him.

[@eDRoaCH]

lewis: "i've built everything, I don't have anything left to build" *2 turns later* "I HAVENT BUILT ANY OF MY CIVS WONDERS!"

[@insaincaldo]

Then ranting about granaries and lighthouses. Sir, what everything did you build?

[@Thoran666]

@@insaincaldo One of everything in the empire!

[@shynarcissist]

Rythian is a Jorge googler

[@RoronoaZoroSensei]

5:29 "This island's got like rubber, truffles..." "Oh that's Rubber Truffle Island" :'D

[@Pattoe]

Naming a place based entirely on the resource that can be plundered from it? Brazil would never.

[@pangrowlin3599]

Kirsty's science is great and Lewis go to food focus aghhhh

[@tridonFarstrider]

"You get an adult man-child. Thats what my mom is dealing with" -Good one Daltos 😂

[@miwright21]

Kirty's laugh cures all that ails me.

[@smemty1365]

I love these i've been watching these for so long i forgot how long now, main reason why i got into civ love the game. i'm glad to see daltos raising the skill ceiling for the group and helping others

[@jarjab2games]

They need to being back potatoe so he can really reach them.

[@svenrio8521]

​@jarjab2games They need to bring back Ben. Been to long since we've had an appearance by the Shark.

[@okram2k]

This episode we saw a lot of building and players settling islands. Yes, as Duncan asked himself earlier, it is probably too late to settle unless you've gone exploration but late settles can be done in Civ V if you're smart about using your trade routes. This is easiest to do at sea which is why a common tactic for coastal civs is to start as a four city (sometimes even three) tradition and then once you have a few trade routes up and your core cities are well developed you start settling nearby islands. With food trade routes the new settles will be able to catch up in pop with your other cities quickly and with production trade routes they can quickly churn out key buildings to bring them up to a productive level. This needs good coordination of your workers, gold, cargo ships, and being able to prioritize important buildings while skipping nonessential ones. (Usually you only care about food, production and science, maybe gold, for these new cities for probably most of the game). Your hope is these cities will grow quickly enough to produce more science than you will lose to the penalty for having more cities. Done well in the time for the trade routes to reset you should have a city sufficiently grown and built up that it can be self sufficient and you start a new city. This is a very greedy tactic as it often means you're prioritizing expansion over building military and can expose you to more opportunities of attack depending on where you settle. You also will slow down your science pace in the short term in hopes of long term returns. What about waiting for colonization and resettlement? A well placed city with even just two trade routes feeding it will be bigger and more built up than a city waiting potentially 30 turns for you to get the order opener. Likewise in the exploration tree treasure fleets which makes any sea tile fantastic is far more important than 2 extra population which with a food trade route you can have in a city in as little as two turns. In fact, every policy on the left side of the tree makes every coastal city better faster and are much more worth taking. They can help but there's usually better policies to take.

[@KemTrorDuatDuE]

A good part about watching these videos is this breakdown after watching. Cool stuff man!

[@heycid2]

The penality for extra cities might as well not exist because it's so easy to get past. It's additive, and it's 5% per city (lower on larger maps). If you have 1k science with only 1 city your second city needs 50 science to be worth it. I don't have to explain how easy that is to do. If you have 4 cities it's even easier because it's not actually a 5% increased cost due to the fact you're already at 1.15x costs. Late settles are actually super underrated. You don't need exploration to pull it off, you just need the happiness. Culture costs are far more aggressive in their scaling.

[@Ghostiification]

Saw Lewis' bringing his great general, thought he's going to make an ultimate power move and take the pastures back from Daltos. Would of been funny af 😂

[@pangrowlin3599]

Lewis having everything on production focus is killing me his capital is tiny

[@okram2k]

that's exactly what you're supposed to do. His capitol is producing almost three times more hammers than Duncan's.

[@beepbop6542]

Less science and culture, no specialists, less total potential. He's giving up future production for production now. That can be worth it, but not always.​@@okram2k

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

@@okram2k That's a FilthyRobot Civ V strat too by the way. The apprentice has beaten the master.

[@twiss9341]

LOL LEWIS AND KIRSTY THAT ISLAND

[@Ajcre]

I keep reading that Kirsty is playing as Zylus not Zulus

[@ratchetqwark89]

same

[@Backyard_Brouhaha]

Duncan should just roll through Rythian and absorb his empire that is weakly defended.

[@Anralia]

Hail Mammon! ...wait where am I?

[@ratchetqwark89]

all hail mammon!

[@fidoruh]

Kirtsy has been such a great addition to these games.

[@beepbop6542]

If I were Kirsty, I would be FUMING right now! War!

[@spritemon98]

13:00 they just realize she built petra

[@zachh.9855]

It’s gotta be said, I love civ 5. What a fantastic game

[@rhystaylor851]

Daltos is very smart and intelligent

[@Kahandran]

Sorry, Rythian just sent me. "C'mon Heinz. I know you invented ketchup but can you also steal some stuff from the monks" edit: also, Duncan complaining about the 1 tile Rythian has 2 spaces from his capital, meanwhile Duncan owns 3 tiles within 2 spaces of Rythian's cap

[@sleambean]

Incredible Kirsty plays haha

[@weezact7]

The pipeline is Plant > Fish > Dog > Child > Cat

[@tenacity25]

I like the wacky non-civ stuff of civ6 as optional things that are clearly not intended as the core gameplay experience but I don't like them being part of the game at base because, as daltos said, that's not really what civ "should be".

[@FreshlyBakedLePain]

And Lewis wept, for he had no buildings left to build...

[@aaronsiebenga7046]

Torontos Tow Truck drivers can have that care gone in a straight 30 seconds...

[@boblolrus]

Nice!

[@IcepersonYT]

I love Daltos just saying nonsense. Iron swords are way better than bronze swords, they don't damage as easily(although swords in general are more fragile than you'd think) and they have more of an impact against armor. In general though swords until recently with gunpowder in play have never really won conflicts, spears are pretty much better for any organized conflict at scale, faster to make and also they are so biomechanically practical it matters a bit less what you make the head out of. Even then you generally want to try to make them out of something as strong as or better than enemy armor, so it might survive longer.

[@Half_Finis]

yea is he like testing if they listen to him or not? cause most of the time its nonsense

[@FinDan07]

that is one cursed looking lake victoria

[@RazieDaRazor]

What a move from Kirsty

[@dylanhecker6686]

That wasn't very neighborly of Lewis. FOREVER WAR

[@tarnyowl6068]

Come on Kirsty win for us plz 🤞

[@dethmin173]

I love Daltos

[@sleambean]

Rythian the jorge googler!

[@jgg3080]

Does anyone know what the songs used for this video are?

[@kano6913]

dissapointed they didn't call it Dalai Lalna tbf

[@BodywiseMustard]

Rythian couldn't make iron in 1000 CE

[@kaalatita2397]

Is there a mods list for what they are running? I know there are a lot of similar ones in existence, so it would be nice to know exactly which mods they were using!

[@beepbop6542]

It's just Lekmod

[@thesonofthesouth]

If you guys want to get more out of the civ content it might be worth uploading supercuts with the entire game in one video after uploading each part

[@aduboo29]

But that might also cause people to wait for and watch the supercut instead of the episodes, so they'd go from getting 6-15 views per person per series to 1 view in a lot of cases.

[@gg_sam7847]

More like Delay Lama amiritr

[@june-ls1hw]

Lewis’s area looks like Europe

[@bl8976]

Will Spiff still be apart of these?

[@BodywiseMustard]

WHY does Daltos call it Alahambra

[@nazamroth8427]

Rythian is so bad at this.... That island city needed to go just one tile to the right to work all the island, but no. He places it like he is an AI...

[@waxy2k10]

I mean are you surprised. Rythian js comically bad at every strategy game.

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

Nice stuff, although the music's a little too loud in this one.

[@LordUnholyFury]

Daltos...iron swords are indeed better than bronze swords! Full swing from both swords and an iron sword will cut through a bronze one like butter.

[@33m3c]

Time to replace Rythian with someone that can play the game lmao

[@yugimotobutjacked3231]

Show some respect, Rythian is the OG venice boat lord.

[@WaterMelonLord100]

Rythian is there for salt
