[@marcfortig8941]

I really love your videos and I hope you dont stop posting new content

[@slateknight1]

You really love Persia don't you filthy? i sincerely love all your Persia games.

[@vincents.6310]

See, I wanted you to settle El Dorado on the mountain on your side of the river, but wouldn't have mattered anyways it wasn't your first settle

[@coobybooby933]

Filthy: Why do you love playing as Persia?

[@phryxolydian]

Could you explain your reasoning of settling that 4th city there instead of, say, 2 tiles north on the coast, next to a mountain, in range of 3 fish + 2 wheat? Your location is obviously still good with the river as well as the instant silver tiles but you made a very quick decision on it. It would've taken me much longer to decide which I prefered :P

[@FilthyRobot]

+phryxolydian 1) I didn't see the fishing lux, it was on the single tile I hadn't explored. 2) I didn't want a lone coastal expand. Generally a single coastal expand by itself is easy picking for anyone who techs frigates since you don't have the coastal production to compete with multiple enemy cities, especially if they have their cap on the coast.

[@phryxolydian]

Yeah, frigates always seem to be a concern. From the little I've seen you always seem to always be on top of the science ball but then again you did choose Liberty in this game, I guess that explains it. Thanks for the feedback :)

What's with you getting all these awesome civs lately?

[@sebking7902]

Great game! Quick question, how close would a barbarian camp have to be for you to justify clearing it early and delaying exploration?

[@FilthyRobot]

+Seb King Touching my primary growth tiles or spawning directly on them and even then, I'd probably just fortify a scout there instead of trying to clear it.

[@sebking7902]

FilthyRobot Sweet, cheers for the reply man.

[@vincents.6310]

one day you will get France, one day

[@Ermakovis]

[@FilthyRobot]

+ilya Ermakov Nope
