This is an experimental video, What other topics would you like some shorts made on?

[@Nutball33]

I think people would like shorts on certain districts, wonders or units, doing a quick in depth review of them. For axample, you could do a special unit, how they could best be used, and what they do etc.

[@Preston-ek1vb]

how to balance infrastructure production with troop production, I always find myself where I have bad cities but lots of troops or good infrastructure but no troops to defend against enemies

[@mjstecyk]

how about a video on a few consistently OP leader/map settings? This could help people who basically understand the game, but struggle with beating deity (aka me).

[@aferalkid]

your discord is garbage and full of communists

Ideas for quick tip videos: - Starting build order - 5 civilizations for beginners/particular victory condition - quick guide to x civilization or y game mechanic/district - rules for people to do self imposed challenges - summarize an exploit - mod spotlight - often missed tricks (emptying a production queue to benefit from a chop, underused UI options, etc)

[@deveus1]

I endorse and support all of these ideas :D

[@julianfernandezduca2196]

Yes

[@ljjebi]

Yes

[@WitherBossEntity]

- working growth vs production tiles - harvesting vs improving resources - when to build the Venetian Arsenal

[@patheronaetherson2860]

@@WitherBossEntity"- when to build the Venetian Arsenal" How is this a question? You're obviously supposed to beeline Mass Production after getting Apprenticeship, building an Industrial Zone along the coast in the meantime so that you can get to work on building it as soon as it's unlocked.

[@ratpongkraiwiwat5988]

Dude shorts like this is what we need. Concise, Precise, Solid. Not all aspects can be made like this but this is da way.

[@JarribasDB]

I knew you got the yields from settling on a resource but I didn't know you got the resource itself. Very useful! Want more of these shorts.

[@ntrg3248]

Yes it's actually really nice early game when you can settle on a luxury and immediately have it, even if you don't have irrigation etc, plus the gold that it comes with

[@Warden409]

Quick bits, I like it. Would love to see some of these directed at the various systems of the game such as religion and tourism. Top it off with quick overviews of any given civs strengths and weaknesses and I think people will enjoy this format.

[@trustysource7568]

I'd really like a short explanation on building a dam vs. not building a dam if you could. Pro's vs. Cons. Cheers in advance, if you do. :)

[@hamdoggius]

If you are playing against AI; build every dam possible for any city you want production in, it gives great adjacency bonuses to your industrial zone - it's almost worth a military engineer charge or two. If you can build it in between two cities, that's your wet dream. Against people you have to be more careful; they WILL send spies into your dam districts. At the very least this will damage multiple tiles and likely wipe several population from the city. I recommend placing spies in districts neighboring your dams to counter this.

[@naiemnorman]

Building dams Cons: Can 1000 year flood Pros: Cannot 1000 year flood Thank you for coming to my TED talk

[@dylanwachter4932]

Dam. What a good suggestion.

[@SeanSpencerNekoEspirito]

have at least one or two cities crank up encampments. the best are border cities near potential enemies for extra protection with walls. it gives you more storage for strategics, better for producing military, and you can make military engineers to help with building dams/aqueducts quicker. fun tip, use all but one charge so the engineer can stick around and build railroads long term later on.

[@willbrolley262]

This is going to be an awesome series. I'd love to see more- maybe one about early policy cards?

[@SergioBriMa]

ooh this could be cool

[@gormstorm7080]

Can you do a short on tall vs wide empires or one on first thing to produce in a new city.

[@donaldtrunq3483]

This

[@evancurtis9958]

That's a great Idea actually

[@totallynotpopular872]

One more thing depending on what Civs you play as(examples like Russia, Mail, Brazil to name a few) affect depending on terrain, decide where you settle on a title

[@fraktal852]

This is great stuff. I don't have time to watch your full playthroughs so videos like this would really help my gameplay.

[@TheJupiter786]

I’d love quick tips on maybe a specific Civ’s ideal playstyle, or maybe just good synergies between game systems and their abilities

[@TotallyNotShiny_Stone]

I thought it destroy the resource/special tile when founding a City on it this whole time....

[@jonathanyun7817]

the game says it does, but apparently inheriting yields is different? the more you know lol

[@UndertakerFromWWE]

We’ve been lied to all this time!!

[@ThinkingReality]

I feel a lot better spending about a minute learning some basics than I feel about spending an hour for in-depth tutorials. Thanks, Potato!

[@oFalKs]

I'd love to see: - Quick explanations of game systems (having played and watched countless hours, I still learn new stuff frequently); - Overviews/Pros and cons of Civs/Leaders. District prio list/Build order. Ranking them in potential (tiers) for each victory type; - Districs -> What should be the first district I build, should I build an Industrial Zone in every city, are Harbors a must in all coastal cities, when to prioritize holy site in your capital (early game) - OP combinations (Leaders+Religion+Wonders and stuff similar); - Tips & Tricks; - Fun challenges to do yourself;

[@Ninjadude784]

Finally I have found a good KZbin short. Thank you potato very cool.

[@captainrisky6561]

I'll usually try to settle somewhere with the most food. Having a good production is definateley a benefit, but growing the city is usually my first goal whenever I settle.

[@AceKiller9000]

Excellent. Super Helpful. Was recently looking for this in old tutorial series. It is 2 years old now. Hard to scroll through old vids. Needs a refresher! Thanks!

[@RealLockheedMartin]

Amazing video format. Much better than digging through an hour long video with no timestamps for a single recommendation.

[@gianlucavartan3051]

This is great! Could you explain how to plan tile improvements/districts?

[@TheFGSDude]

I actually completely forgot about the god tier start. Really enjoyed the quick tips

[@owengilbert5109]

You give me one little nugget like that deer point you made, and your videos can be 10 seconds for all I care lol jokes aside, you’re helping me get through a really tough time rn. I don’t even have it in me to play the game that I love, so being able to pop on your channel and watch hours worth of game has been amazing. It’s so fun and lighthearted that it always gives me reprieve. Never stop being you tater. You’ll never know how much it means.

[@kryzethx]

This is actually one of the most useful shorts I have ever seen. I usually hate shorts, but this feels like the perfect format for quick tips like this :D

[@MaitreMetroid]

500 hours in and this video just helped me learn a new trick! thank you! I hope for more short videos like this! (:

[@jamesmontavon850]

I love your long videos where you go into all the nuances- I learn a ton about game mechanics, good thought processes, strategy, etc. However, I also really like this format! I hope you do more of them, and I bet some new viewers might come for these, then stay for the longer nuancy ones

[@ninnusridhar]

I love this! Id love to see other key dcisions like choosing industrial districts and explaining how power works

[@madara16]

For Civ6: Starting Build Order, Things to focus on different win conditions, and war tips in domination.

[@justinle6715]

The civ 6 short was very helpful. Thanks for the tip!

[@bobbygleeson8001]

Which techs/civics are best to rush: Early Game, Mid Game, Late Game. Could be 3 shorts there. Possibly too contextually dependent. IDK, maybe I'm talking rubbish, but I like the idea of these shorts so I thought I would give a comment

[@Levantinyx]

I'd break it down into an early game overview (as it's rather shortterm dependent) and then what are core techs/civics/unlocks for specific game archetypes (tourism, science/prod, religion win, domination) as midgame is where you want to beeline stuff and I often feel like I set up a good foundation but just win off of the guaranteed returns instead of refining my empire into a win engine (I tend to try to do too much of everything as I'm unsure what is good to do now for my specific win plan)

[@Oseois]

I love your normal videos, but man, this was condensed gold.

[@e.christopherclark7367]

Loved this, man. More!

[@magiciangob]

Hope the experiment works out. Lots of great info in such a short time! Maybe a short on each Humankind culture?

[@HeggyC]

Long time sub, I like this format. Quick tips, each video 1 minute or so. Should be popular

[@jorybowers393]

These are the only YT Shorts I enjoy watching

[@damianj3989]

Short and straight to the point, I love it! It would be awesome to have similar videos about: - districts and where to place them (not sure if that's possible in a short) - special units - single city-states - single technologies to research and their advantages

[@yurisoares2596]

Potato normal video, potato lives, potato shorts. Potato everywhere.

[@itsjRoe]

I think that the overwhelming complexity of Civ is what holds back a lot of people from becoming intrigued. However with short form content, it some how makes the game seem simplistic. Bravo Potato !

[@randeepbanwait4910]

Love this idea potato!!!! Keep the shorts coming

[@cptKamina]

I think quick tips videos like this are a great idea. I learned a lot watching your videos, and learning more or solidifying that knowledge through condensed videos is nice.

[@superawesomecaptainmcfluff9506]

Love it. Short and informative. Early game info is always stonks to know!

[@lgp5619]

I've been waiting for someone to start making tip clips like these.

[@lasombra120680]

You are one of the legit GOATs of 4x gaming.

[@mitchell-gordon]

Love the short quick tips!!

[@shadician]

Finally, a genuinely useful KZbin short video. Thank you good sir

[@chaseleslie6009]

Dude, we need more of this!!! Been watching since the Alexander Dom. Game. Awesome stuff.

[@donmcnamara2959]

I normally watch your vids on my AppleTV so the vertical format caught me off guard. But when I rewatched on my iPhone I could tell this is going to be a great short series to reference while playing the game. Looking forward to more.

[@motherpigeon1582]

Sir Potato, awesome job on all of your tutorials.I was so lost as a player who never played civ before but you saved me as I was so close of giving up ;)

[@RS-fy9hb]

Love this format. It's like it's made for it.

[@NickWalkerTipdrill]

Love the quick tips! Keep them coming

[@m.d.2948]

Love the shorts! I think it would be cool to see a short clip of how to maximize the benefits of each Civilization

[@EkayYT]

This is an excellent short, I can tell how many takes and the amount of planning. Thank you, you've improved my game immensely

[@dungeonttv1486]

More please Mr. McWhiskey

[@tyrodins929]

Short and and full of content. The way i like it

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

ur mum likes it that way too

[@harrison2786]

love the format!!

[@wHeneverz]

Would love to see (a) compilation(s) of key techs/civics for various victories, including the reasoning behind the choices. Other than that, what to consider with each yield-type, how to manage your cities, or diving into various aspects of the combat-system (like e.g. adjacency, what being damaged does or fortification).

[@pleinelunepleine]

really like the short and precise format ! keep going potato !

[@KaiserRatte56]

This was very helpfull and to the point! Love it!

[@arijitg.9713]

Would also like to see a typical turn 150 (Std speed) - What things do you check under different scenarios - When at war, when trying diplomacy, when trying to maximise science etc. Really helps, as typically, we always forget a couple of things before we end turn.

[@robertAGC]

This is a slick video, Spud.

[@vincentweng6915]

it's amazing that 54-second video can fit so many lines.

[@adrianprieto7470]

This kind of videos are a great idea, because is a summary of all your knowledge on a topic and a quick way of getting it. Otherwise is difficult to to pick all the advices spreaded among many other videos without missing any of them.

[@CFC_45]

More of this pls!!! Would really appreciate this type of content.

[@chiveschivian9965]

Commenting to stay on Civ 6 shorts

[@evancurtis9958]

Perhaps It'd be interesting to see you go over every main district and talk about its pros and cons? Other "districts" such as the national park could also be thrown in there.

[@unfortunary8230]

I love this idea! I've learned so much from your long form videos as a new player but having these succinct bites of useful knowledge is SO good. With my ADHD it can get difficult to follow your long videos sometimes, and I miss valuable knowledge. A lot of people are recommending more advanced type explanations but I think for this format going over the basics once more is still worth doing.

[@subz3134]

district layout tips, teching/progression (like say I want to go religion win or science, etc.), maybe like individual vids for each civ on their strengths/weaknesses and how to utilize the most out of them.... thats all i can think of lol

[@jacksonbyrne64]

Good work potato I love the short informative vids, I'd keep going with these. It's great to see a vid that's easy to reference and informative on slightly obscure info thanks again

[@christianschmidt9628]

Love it, great video! God tier deer start

These videos are going come in handy so much! Keep up the great work

this is the best! please keep it up!

I like it! Do one on basics of culture victory, please!

[@gunzakimbo]

Amazing video man! I 100% agree and it's usually why I like to get a good base for my city centers even if it means a turn or two of travel.

[@alejandrocervantes2288]

literally as a new civ 6 player that helps so much

the one word captions were a bit much, but I like the format

Great stuff Potato

[@JChalant]

I liked the short format for tips and tricks! I meh the tik tok format as a pc user, but get it as a phone user. ♥ here's some engagement too ♪ ps: I noticed I had to resub...it's possible I fat fingered a share or save, so donit go blaming YT yet.

[@JirkaKunst]

I like shorts. They are comfy and easy to wear!

[@guyparisi]

I'd like to see a "when to chop vs when NOT to chop". Thanks for all you do!

[@dmitriivanovich9026]

I like this ^^d You could add short tips for combat: like how to use terrain advantages or what type of units are you favourites. And maybe something about efficiently using wonders :)

[@thegreatarcanist890]

Could you do a video on Diplomatic victory? I've only done a diplomatic victory once and even then it was accidental (I was playing as Korea, sending space missions and checking AI victory progress when I noticed that I had 18 diplomatic victory points that I'm not sure how I got, so I built the Statue of Liberty). I always win by culture long before I get more than a few diplomatic victory points.

[@drarkan]

wow of all the videos i watch of ours, this is new to me now, though I knew settling on resources guarantees that resource. I enjoy all your content! thanks!

[@StylezGamez]

How about next time you show us some quick tips on where to build the Venetian Arsenal ? :D

[@jacksonwittwer8842]

You should bring these back. This is good shit

[@saketdhodapkar7658]

Spies .. definitely.. most underrated mechanic in the game ..

[@Pyrohawk]

I like this video format! Maybe you could make quick tips for: combat strength (i.e. just how important is +10 combat strength - hint: a LOT): cards, generals, heros... Combat maneuvers (flanking, support, unit type advantages). Early game trade route decisions (domestic, intl, city state, roads for wars) Early game district choices (holy site vs campus vs govt plaza..) Chopping or keeping resources Governor choices, Secret society choice (when to use the governor title from the first society met?)

[@adamrundell103]
