Fantastically well put, great video! XD

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

Thanks friend!

[@Imperial_stroopwafel]

This man plays just like China IRL, an early and big civilisation centered around a river with lot of population and infrastructure while still massively being raided by pillagers on horses XD.

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

The Mongolians were in the game after all!

[@saschabakker6943]

Really enjoyed the vid, excited for pt 2!

[@kevin1v1]

When I saw the quality of this video and content I was expecting a lot more subscribers. Great video mate and look forward to watching more!

[@amacaytan3725]

We definitely need part 2 now

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

Will be posted on Monday!

[@notjohnsmithgaming]

Awesome video, man! Go team yongle

[@jacobmagnuson8245]

Very informative video even for a veteran player myself! Hopping on Civ to play a game as Yongle.

[@drjonritz]

Nice start

[@CorrosiveV]

Yay another civ youtuber! Chill vibes

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

New to KZbin but been on Twitch for 2 years, feel free to stop by!

[@Lealandry5890]

your way of narrating and the way you edit the video just won you a sub!

[@bullee]

I agree, up and coming channel

[@zortingen248]

I thought u were like 10k-20k sub while watching the video nice job bro !

[@TheScroll]

im gonna like and subscribe for youngle

[@redpiller]

Great strat, I'm gonna try this. Just a heads up, they seem to have altered Tomyris so that you can immediately friend her like Gilgabro. Never hurts to ask either

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

Complete news to me, I'll have to try!

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

I have been hearing this a ton! So i tested it. Doesn't work for me. Might be a mod someone is running that causes that.

[@impudentzdrot264]

You remind me of ursa ryan and civ lifer (my favourite civers) from when they were yet not popular. I think you havr great perspectives ahead. Btw, where are you from?

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

Thank you! Based in Pennsylvania, USA.

[@djray8]

This kind of start is what I could only dream having as a player. I keep rolling god awful starts 😅

[@djray8]

A lot of times, I'd reroll for hours until game finally decides to give me something good lol

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

If you haven't already, try using the Mod Better Balance Starts. Usually makes your starts have a couple extra 2:2s and better tied to your civ's Starting Bias to help you find the map you wanted with less re-rolls

[@SGProductions87]

I'm about half way through. I hope you put an Industrial Zone next to the 3 quarries north of your cap.

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

Nearby! On part 2

[@tindekappa9047]

It should be valid to spend the first 10 turns getting a pantheon to guarantee any of the other contested pantheons, like the river one I think is contested by the AI, IDK haven't played in a while. Still maybe spend 1-2 turns growing food first to work one extra tile then get faith.

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

It's always valid to play Civ however you want! Definitely still fun to see the ENTIRE list of pantheons to choose from

[@Hastey08]

Can you post the seed and settings. This start looks great

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

I can't remember the exact full details, so if it doesnt work grab the save file I uploaded to my discord if you want to check it out! I also have more Yongle and breathtaking Teddy spawns Pangea, Standard Size, New World Age, Wet map, (idk if I put low sea level on or off). Requires Better Balanced Starts.

@@whiteandnerdytv_ since a recent game update...

[@madmartigan1498]

You won't be able to build an aqueduct in your capital - by intention or by fault?

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

I noticed it in the next video! Aqueducts are nice but we have plenty of housing from Audience Chamber so it doesn't slow down our growth too much. Max housing would be nice but prioritizing Diplo Quarter and +9 theater square works out too

[@Stachelbeeerchen]

Religious settlement is the strongest pantheon out there but it somehow feels wrong denying a growth leader fertility rites.

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

Exactly why I didn't like seeing people work faith from turn 1! Felt like a waste of a pantheon. Fertility Rights and River Goddess are sooo good as Yongle

[@alonilin]

Never forget to build your aquiduct near geothermal fision, as it gives you +1 amenity 😎

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

Honestly one of my favorite hidden mechanic gems. Yes I would like warm bath pls

[@Stachelbeeerchen]

Even works if you settled on them since it doesn't remove this feature.

[@EruditeGayming]

Mr sir nerdy, i have no notes, so heres an engagement comment for the algorithm

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

The real best pantheon, Goddess of Algorithms good choice!

[@jacobfamily4544]

At first, I thought his name didn't look Chinese but now that I look at it more closely its Yong Le. That one took me a a lil too long 😅

[@whiteandnerdytv_]

Yongle

[@jacobfamily4544]

@@whiteandnerdytv_ Yeah, I know. I was showing the two components of the name how I looked at them differently from the first times I read it.
