I feel like whenever Potato starts the series by saying he's going for a peaceful/simming victory he is immediately cursed to 100 turns of war.

[@fishraposo7192]

It's like when he talks about doing a tall game, then it immediately devolves into conquering an entire AI

[@Voltar_99]

@@fishraposo7192It’s the exact opposite for me, I always go tall and even when I say I’m gonna go wide I end up getting 4-6 cities at most.

[@sploosh1425]

This is how every game goes for me as well. On Deity it just feels so personal

[@gassmanet]

32:39, almost screamed at my screen. Saying one thing, doing the other, keeping Serfdom in and tossing out the holy site adjacency multiplier. Haha. This is an absolutely riveting series.

[@cameronbell536]

22:15 Potato: *playing as ancient Cambodia* Also Potato: "He just stepped forward into my killing field"

Right, the Khmer have no history of brutal oppression or conflict.

Potato tilted cause Babylon pulled a gigachad move on him. Declares war razes city declares peace leaves. Converts capital declares war again

[@jawstrock2215]

How dare and AI use player tactics on me! :D

[@LAZERAK47V2]

Giga stupid is what Babylon is. His antics has condemned his civilization to a footnote of annoyance in history.

[@RMCbreezy]

Feel like it was the city state that razed it

[@RedeyesKnight99]

I think what I like best about this series immediately is that you were put on the back foot with this island despite starting so optimistic. Its really fun watching someone play back from a horrible swing like that.

[@Br3ttM]

If I was playing that map I would have started a new game as soon as I saw how close all the city states were. Of course, I'm a Civ 5 player, so I don't crowd my cities together, and I don't believe in conquering city states, just possibly stealing workers off them and farming XP.

[@PilgrimEnge]

This playthrough is so pure - establishing your own win conditions is the way to go. I absolutely love it!

[@TheFinalChapters]

Strike fear in your opponents. They must learn that if they strike you down, you will take them with you.

What is best in life? To crush deity level empires, to see their tiles yields pillaged by your units and to hear the lamentations of their mothers.

I love how Potato realises that he is falling into Tunnel Vision and then shortly afterwards re-inforces his desire to tunnel even harder

[@rohangondor6250]

I love how awkward and dramatic this series is with all the setbacks

[@Cheshire020]

Babylon: Bad holy site placement Potato: KILL! MAIM! BURN!

[@aleksanderborowczak3830]

13:35 I died laughing, this is such a civ thing to do

[@SmallPotato2313]

The AI deserves it sometimes..

[@PhailRaptor]

This episode highlights the absolute bananas strength of Babylon, and specifically how *fantastic* Babylon becomes in Tech/Civic Shuffle. Getting the entire tech instead of 40% for achieving a tech boost is *insane*. The episode starting with Babylon attacking with Warrior, Spear, and Archer, being technologically equal to Potato. Half way through the episode, Babylon has Men-at-Arms, Knights, Coursers, and Crossbows. But the thing to remember is that, despite Babylon's crazy ability to blast through the tech tree, they are ABSOLUTELY NOT a Science Victory civ. The -50% to normal Science output combined with the last couple of Eras on the Tech Tree only getting boosted by Spy actions (meaning someone has to be ahead of you technologically) pretty much make Science a non-viable option for Victory. Possible, sure. Probably, not even close.

[@redpiller]

Pretty sure the earliest science victories anyone has ever done was with Babylon. Some people were getting sub-100 science victories. There are strategies that overcome their -50% SPT

[@troyzeisler5230]

Boesthius did a 150 turn deity Babylon science victory last week.

[@Deathborn668]

Science victories are easy with Babylon. Yes, you have a 50% science penalty and that technically hurts for the Future Era techs. However that can be circumvented with the Great Library (giving free boost whenever someone else gets a scientist, so it'd have to grab a freebie Future tech), as well as the fact that rushing as many eurekas as possible means you'll approach the Future era techs 100+ turns sooner than any other civ, so any slowdown is only a mild annoyance because you've bought yourself a lot of time.

[@redpiller]

@@Deathborn668 Plus you can pillage science in the late game. Build cavalry, get the depredation promotion and you can pillage through the techs that can't be boosted.

[@Hamuel]

The episode yesterday was so exciting! I'm happy to see more of this game

[@elbonnybar]

my man has finally embraced his chaotic aligment fully. surpised he took so long, finally he get to play warlock on D&D

[@SweenyMarc]

I'm not usually a fan of shuffle games, but this has been a fun one. That choke point between Potato and Zanzibar was a blessing, getting to focus fire everything Babylon sent through it was probably what saved the empire. I do wonder if getting suzerainty over Zanzibar rather than Fez might have been the play though. Could have then sent Z a trade route and walked straight through to Babylon for a much earlier Domrey attack.

[@samueltrusik3251]

Can I just say that I like these extreme videos a lot more than your normal videos? Seeing you desperately trying to cling onto your religion, my favorite part of the game, is nice.

[@tarthos2662]

This might be a horror session for you to play but it sure is a blast watching it

[@TKNinja37]

Babylon: *pushes Potato to the brink* Potato: *builds Domreys and pushes back* Babylon: 🎶 _We've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see_ 🎶

[@thomasbagley7142]

This was hilarious. I've watched up until part 3 of this series and it's my favorite so far. It's amazing the precarious game you were playing. Very very entertaining, and omg you are good at this game 😂

[@ibrahimziarahim9035]

I have never been more excited for a Civ 6 video!!

[@DaRealKakarroto]

Seeing potato doing the same thing as me when the AI unreasonably angers me is quite satisfying.

[@DylanKnighting1]

If the next episode isn’t titled ‘The potato strikes back’ I’m gonna be mildly upset

[@christopherzona3262]

Just started watching you again, glad you’re back at it with the civ content:)

[@davidmoorcroft7117]

Scorched earth Potato is probably my favorite.

[@LoudWaffle]

An hour ago: "oh nice Khmer, my favourite civ they have so many nice abilities with food and housing, we can get a nice religion and culture game going, it'll be comfy!" Now: "that's it, my single win condition is to raze every Babylonian city to the ground. I will not rest until I have crushed him entirely and resettled his entire empire."

[@Fanouriou]

You pettyness isn't tactical, but man is it entertaining.

[@TylerDaltonShaw]

I honestly play Civ mostly to take revenge on the AI, so I'm really into this let everything burn Potato arc

[@rammsaif7030]

You play civ the way God intended it to be played

[@zachdetsch1700]

I’ve listened to potato slowly descend into madness so many times… first time I’ve been a bit worried about him was when he said “my religion isn’t based around dams”… 😢

[@splinter4103]

Yay! Civ's back!

[@Efsaaneh]

The next episode is gonna be R rated💀💀💀

[@LAZERAK47V2]

A quick heads up for war optimization: Warriors are the only unit that do not benefit from Flanking and Support bonuses. I believe they can provide it for other units, but they cannot make use of it themselves. This is likely due to the fact that they have 0 gold upkeep cost. Also, if you notice the AI embarking troops to invade you, *BUILD A GALLEY* You won't have to do that unit positioning dance if you control the seas.

[@AgainWhoops]

Scorched Earth potato is awesome, also a bit scary

[@Creativitybias]

These mountains are the only thing giving potato a fighting chance here. What an interesting game!

[@125discipline2]

Also promotions of range damage do not work on defense because your ranged units defend themselves via melee strength

[@jamesallen6316]

You had to muck around a lot. Holy site on the river in the mountains to the right of the capital, with 1 archer with +10 district defence would have completely changed the game, both for military and religious defence.

[@jonalahsimenauer4180]

You should do a game with the release game rules, without a practice run, they are so different and it would be a huge challenge

Honestly, I'd probably build an encampment on that mountain pass. Significantly more defensive power.
