Defeating a world infested with giant death robots in civ 6? OH BOY

[@Mognet_t]

This was one of the most unhinged Civ 6 runs you've had in a hot minute. I loved every second

[@afino61_]

seriously, Potato just going more and more off the deep end as this video continued was a thing of beauty

"He will be a broken man on a Halifax pier ..." - Potato McWhiskey, 2024 Awesome Stan Rodgers reference(s)!!!!!! In Civ VI, Potato McWhiskey has my vote for Emperor of Man (not IRL, though)! I laughed at the movie ideas so hard I cried! Also, Potato McWhiskey's riffing while playing while already having won is very entertaining!!

[@SLDimarco]

I wasnt expecting that reference honestly.

[@robstalker9133]

I specifically scrolled to the comments to callout the Barrett's references as well. Beauty

[@galexian_]

cant lie, excited to see a scenario I failed massively

[@eliasstenman3710]

I succeeded quite well…on prince.

[@carlsoll]

Me too. Any direction Alex takes it, is usually pretty interesting 🤔

[@TheW83]

I figured it was impossible to fail. I was disappointed with it.

[@CalebGurba]

As a Canadian, I approve this movie

[@mikerotch7606]

Who thought you could beat giant nuclear-powered death robots with hockey

[@perpersson5928]

Sounds like a movie pitch about sports and friendship

[@КанистраКеросина]

if there are Japanese here, they are definitely going to make anime about it

[@vcitycanada]

As a citizen of Vancouver you saying “who would live in Toronto” is the best thing ever

[@Garythebeaver]

Hi @PotatoMcWhiskey ! I just wanted to say thanks for creating funny and informative content. I have gone from King - Deity in the space of 3 games thanks to your advice and I'm getting so much more enjoyment out of the game as a consequence. Like you, I love thinking on my feet and strategising based on what happens early game. For example I'm playing Cyrus, started out with plans to go conquest / culture with a focus on trade, however I found 2 natural wonders with Religion adjacency so have now pivoted slightly and grabbed the penultimate religion, really excited to see where it goes. Have managed to steal 3 settlers and 3 builders with the surprise war mechanic, somehow i'm still friends with all my local civs and I'm only on turn 75. I wanted to share an interesting game I had with Canada recently: I got a religion and used the tundra adjacency, holy site adjacency generating production and then hermetic order to create super high adjacency holy sites which essentially double up as early game production zones, I was getting 15+ adjacency bonuses for religion and production early game. Unfortunately I didn't have as much tundra as I would have liked to settle, but imagine this strategy could be used for an insanely quick tourism victory. I would like to see what you could do with something similar

[@slurker3788]

G gundam had a Canada gundam, the lumberjack. He loses in seconds

[@tagesvaterpatrick8780]

Looked (and sounded) like the Potato had "the time of his life"(sung).😂😂😂

[@ethanjensen6802]

We don't call it Toh-ron-toh we call it Trono. But you right about not wanting to live there lmao

[@ThomasKingsley-ow1fe]

This was remarkably incoherent and I love it

[@Ffourteen]

If you're looking for solid film making fun of Canadian stereotypes, and American stereotypes, you want Canadian Bacon. It stars the greatest of all Canadians, John Candy. Well, I guess Wayne Gretzky is the greatest Canadian, but John Candy is a close second.

[@ZhenjaMax]

47:49 It was very cool. Have you ever tried voice acting? You could be a cool gamemaster for role-playing games!

[@Chicky_Lumps]

6:02 Am I listening to Potato, or Poofesure about to smash a Wii remote? Getting flashbacks...

[@jasonmaynard2402]

After having played this weeks ago I've found myself yelling at the screen as if Potato could hear me.

[@dmacpher]

Lol the Stan River quote - nice

[@jehooft8569]

In a world devastated by rogue AI, one nation rises… Snow and Blood, now in cinemas near you.

[@davidanderegg1232]

Honestly this one is too short. If they added turns you could conquer which would be interesting but as is it’s just settle and wait

[@luigimonroe2364]

Silly Johnson has lost his damned mind.

[@Zaimejs]

I finally know how to score points. Wonders and Cities are the key.

[@matts436]

Potato hopped up on sugar and having fun. What else could top that

[@happyorks1]

Now that’s what I call PotatoMcWhisky

[@acceptableorange8318]

I mean the real question is.. DO you have GDR at your beck and call in IRL. If so... Yes I would vote for you "willingly" for omnipotent ruler/emperor of the new world.

[@brewsive]

turn 500, no aluminum

[@RogerMacCallum]

You know way too much about Canada for an average global citizen. Have you got a connection? Did you live there for a time?

[@mrthor3061]

i wish i could play the full game on xbox really sucks it comes with no dlc at all

[@Fanouriou]

For that broken man on a Halifx pier comment potato, well you know the words! Now I have all the verses on my brain! It's 11:30 pm and I need sleep, and all while my brain takes me throgh all verses of the Antilope sloops travels to monteego bay and back to halifax!

[@Firedonify]

I would not vote for you, because I trust no-one with that power :p

[@cliffordrihn3988]

O Canada!

[@samuelmalaby7498]

NIRVINA

[@blumansimon6458]

music break :)

[@torvus2]

Vote for you........ Why would I give up MY position :P lol

[@electrucution]

this challenge was utterly boring honestly

[@theapplepapple9420]

Believe in Jesus Christ, trust in Him for your eternal salvation and repent of your sins!

[@randallbestrcb]

new-CLEE-uhr 😥

[@CptManboobs]

Toronto IS a terrible place, do not move there, it sucks.

[@aaronmartin8027]

Potato must have been one of those kids who had an absolute blast playing with their action figures and doing voices and sound effects for every little movement.

[@ClockworkOuroborous]

"In a world, of Giant Robots, Ice Hockey, and Maple Syrup, one country, known for it's politeness, will object to giant rampaging robots with the most polite weapons the world has ever seen. If you don't see this movie, you'll be sorey!"

[@T0tenkampf]

NHL Professional Hockey is currently the only major professional sport that knows which bathroom to use, we see the relevance of that in this possible future.

[@tabshiftescape]

"sorey"

[@davwalsr]

The “these men in cloth planes” speech was truly inspiring

[@skarlath7940]

I must say Potato's slow descent into madness is always hilarious

[@Epelpaj]

I love how KZbin thinks this is Beyond Earth

[@forgotultag1543]

all the talk about Death Robots and Fa_cism really confused the algorithm

[@listens2lennon]

Saw a lot of hate online for this challenge. I liked it. The 1 turn district builds made it possible.

[@Gronmin]

It's ok but it's really focused on fighting off the first one or two robots early on then just turtling behind walls and encampments

[@SmallPotato2313]

​@@Gronmin well if u manage to get golden age u can get your own gdr to fight those barb robots. I got a bit bored halfway through the challenge so by the end i eliminated all AI except korea cuz i didnt reach her in time

[@auroraec2657]

if you start in information age you will get 1 turn districts anyways

[@CortoMalteaser]

Thank you Potato for showcasing the grim reality of daily life for us Canadians. I myself live in Ottawa and had to fight off a giant death robot just to get to work today

[@johnperish]

Bro, I got a settler ganked by a giant death robot from the fog of war like 10 turns in and said "nah" and closed the game. 😂

[@Armand-o9l]

potato forgot his pills again

[@Ploon72]

34:55 Great War era bombers were mostly biplane fighters with dudes chucking hand grenades over the side.

[@joel7626]

Damn, that last turn conquest was pretty impressive. Keep it up, SpudBoi!

[@Symbine]

This is your most chaotic video ever. Very fun to watch. and hey bonus KZbin says the game your playing is beyond earth, just for some added chaos.

[@T.Cun.]

Victor with embrasure for double shot and Mg.. 👌

[@senorelroboto2]

32:53 "those udders look like mince meat" Such a clippable phrase

[@artemi7]

This was just a secret Attack on Titan challenge, but with GDRs posing as Titans.

[@dx-ek4vr]

And he successfully recreated the rumbling! Except here, it actually succeeds

[@ebolaauch]

bacta tanks of maple syrup. All righty, I'll subscribe.

[@gruntgg]

You just love to hear potato going down the rabbit hole of absolute boredom going through the endless turns of a Civ game he has already won a long time ago. They say people speak the truth when drunk (and say a lot of nonsense) but that must be a close second.

[@pumpcloves]

48:10 "just need a subtle Canadian anthem to start playing, which is probably god save the queen or something" How dare you. The Canadian people will neither forget nor forgive this insult. The moose hit squad has been deployed.

[@yuecenyan2807]

Even funnier: the Civ 6 Canada BGM is the Canada anthem

[@hellcy7237]

That was a crazy twist at the end! (The video has been up for a minute)

[@marrowkaiproductions7053]

WAIT IT WAS UP FOR TWO CANADA SHALL HAVE REVENGE UPON YOU!

[@etrecklefrancois2792]

Nice use of Barrett's Privateers, NGL. Well done.

[@Jack_Rakan]

I was cackling so hard at 5:02 . I imagine if this was live streamed the chat would have been filled with "HE DOESN'T KNOW KEKW"

[@TheRandomMaori]

Its like the Butlerian Jihad took place before humanity even left earth - without the laws against thinking machines being implemented yet. The last quarter of the game it seemed like you were now playing to become the Padisha Emperor. All hail the Emperor Potato the First!

[@Gee399]

Planting forests and lumber camps were key for my win. Once i figured that out it was pretty straightforward pumping out biplanes and expanding.

[@CiaranMaxwell]

"ooh, a pantheon as canada. Dance of the Aurora, baby!" There's no Great Prophets. "Well, there goes Dance of the Aurora."

[@Phshteve]

Liked for the Barrett’s Privateers reference. Great content

[@Natsirt666]

This descent into madness was so satisfying!

[@bushpilotfritz7784]

Potato making a Barret's privateers reference makes me extremely happy.

[@Darkry]

My man vibing to "The War To End All Wars" by Sabaton, but then completly misses not only the song, but even genre. I mean... we all make mistakes, but this, this is a travesty.

[@carlsoll]

4:27 Hahaha- That delivery. Homie *straiiiight upp* DIED.

[@niallrussell7184]

"Why aren't trees growing back?".. hmm a scenario where world is now mostly tundra, and infested with death robots.. ☢

[@T0tenkampf]

there is no way to clear or replant a burned forest?

[@kred4849]

Not in this challenge, no. They are permanently unusable.

[@supportkommentar6304]

[@maple.everything]

This challenge is back on Deity instead of Emperor. If you sacrifice builders to the GDRs, they sit there harmlessly for almost half the game. Deploying fighters (eventually jets) helps keep the barb camps under control while still being useful for fighting them. And, if the GDRs come, they're not that bad at fighting them.

[@matheusGMN]

every time you say GDR I think German Democratic Republic and I'm just like, yep the GDR is something you definitely should worry about!

[@thachtran7678]

🤣🤣🤣 This Just remind me of Hell Diver 2 so much. Protect our Prosperity from the Automaton, FOR THE DEMOCRACY

[@Natsirt666]

"A Canada based anime fighting giant robots in the tundra" - so basically the unwritten fall of Canada to China (before the US retakes it) in the FallOut universe?

[@neverwintekni3282]

Potato I would vote for anyone under 70. But considering the options you wouldn't be the worst, you might erupt WW3 because you got bored, but honestly not a big deal to me.

[@immortaldonut]

Your action movie announcer voice hearkens back to Pablo Francisco stand-ups. If you havent heard of him, I recommend searching for some of his material.

[@daveruble5150]

NOOK-lee-er not NOOK-ye-ler ya goof. flawless, otherwise. all my best, sir or madam.

[@GoshaGeorgiy]

You could try this challenge with the ludicrous barbarians mod for an extra challenge

[@robjohnson3095]

Nicely done... I colonized almost the entire map in my second playthru, and my by Abe traded a ton with me the whole time!

[@seejayfrujay]

Yes, unhinged is a good word. Surprised the AI did as well as they did in the first few turns against barbs with GDRs.

[@gchwee83]

This is the only time i built so many neighbourhoods and used "Public Transport" policy to maintain population

[@alfred7846]

Its too late now but neighbourhood spam trivializes this challenge

[@13chomp4]

I’ve never gotten tired of you pronouncing Nuclear as Nucular

[@nickdebruyckere12]

i played this and the gdr's didnt even attack my cities it was just score simulator was hella boring

[@admiralsfleet2668]

They have this scenario now on switch and seeing potato reset has given me hope. Gonna restart and go blind

[@JeffreyGoddin]

28:49 Ahhh, that's what Trump means by "America First..."

[@The_DGO]

When I played, I rushed for oil to get biplanes and used them to destroy the GDRs

[@ilyakolganov6686]

Could you tell me please what modification do you use to move city attack button to the side of hit points bar?

[@blabot]

Unexpected Stan Rogers, Potato is a man of culture
