Now there wer plot twists the size of canada on this one

25 minutes in, that Alexander game.... Those barbs... I think we all know which ai was in the game.... Babylon

[@Chooch1080]

I have an idea for a Rostam/Zoroastrianism run of the new CK3 Expansion. It requires you to do four things as Rostam. The first is give him university visits on Cooldown, and get Strategist + Galant. The second is matrilineal marry all your daughters for either: Inheritable Traits/Legendary Blademaster (then make a Knight Accolade that is a Blademaster + Military Engineer Commander Trait), next Diverge the Daylamite Culture (Don't Reform!!!) to include: Bureaucratic Ethos, Mountain Homes, and Armed Skirmishers (build two stacks of (5) Zupin Spearmen, then build two stacks of (5) Archers to get the Prestige discount on Armed Skirmishers); finally Hybridize with Persian (Swap Zupin Spearmen for Futuwaa and include any traditions you may like) Only THEN. Go for the Iranian Resurgence. 🤙🏿🍻

[@Chooch1080]

Rostam should be able to accomplish the task I laid out while he is still "just" the Daylamite King. So there will be plenty of time to end the Intermezzo as one of his Heir's. If the RNG should kill Rostam despite him having Galant + Strategist + High Martial + High Learning + Level 5 Martial Education Trait (achieved by doing maxed out university visits while Scholar Perk is unlocked) + Whole of Body + Scholar 🤙🏿🍻

Huge shout-out to Michael for recommending this video on the Freritos vs CoC game yesterday, this was a great video. Most importantly, he didn't spoil anything. 10/10 twist.

[@ethanscott9761]

Great video and great editing man. Potato and Bartsake talking at the same time had me in tears lmao. I also love the Canadian touch you put on you videos.

[@Vidar93]

Fun fact with the Dunning Kruger effect, the graph that you use to explain it is actually an exact example of the actual principle. It actually is more linked to imposter syndrome more so than the illogical confidence that some have when learning something new. The actual study has two lines line you demonstrated showing actual skill and perceived abilities but while many start to get a slightly inflated confidence in their abilities after learning the basics the study didn't find them believing they were more intelligent than experts in the field. It also does not have a huge drop off as actual ability grows it will slightly plateau after an initial spike but generally there isn't an overlap point between perceived and actual abilities.

[@pumpkinpartysystem]

I dunno that being lied to about what it means is really an example of that principle then.

Great video. Let me just say , at 14:00 you had 94 science at turn 100, that's definitely a winnable game! Commenting before watching the rest

[@theadventurer247]

Best 49 minute and 59 second I've spent. I've recently started playing CIV 6 again too after abandoning it years ago (just few hours after purchase too). So it was incredibly hilarious to me to see you go down the path of learning the mechanics behind the game as I was doing the same few weeks ago (probably why KZbin recommend this video and I love it). I haven't tried Diety yet because I'm too chicken out at the prospect but I might try it after being inspired by this video, to at least try to secure one win so I can tell my grandkids about it (I'm 24 and still single). The funniest bit you did that almost make me choke on water was when you told about your WFH where you would move your mouse too look productive (and ChatGPT the tickets) until 5pm. You have no idea how relatable that was for me as I work as programmer too and would WFH frequently. Little things like that honestly made my whole day for some reason. I would praise you more as this episode is freaking gold and rare, but I think you already know how good of a job you did and the comment sections will cover the praises I didn't give. I'm officially a fan and cannot wait for more. Bonus for me if you do EU4 content.

[@TheRestedOne]

Same exact boat for me even down to EU4, minus the chatGPT (GIS is a great WFH career lmao). I’ve found Japan’s district bonuses are very fun to play around with. Good luck on your challenge!

AI in Civ 6 is so braindead (it just doesn't understand the district system + it wastes so much time building walls + it can't figure out how to build military units) that it's more like fighting against a toddler with a machine gun. That said if you're fighting against a toddler with a machine gun while chained to the wall (what being new to civ is like) then he'll shoot you eventually.
