[@Da__goat]

The thing I never understood about the UN in the Civ games is that it actually has power and influence. You can’t just ignore it like in real life because of how the game is coded and regardless of the difference in tech it just exists. So if you’re the only one that has a strategic resource in the world the UN can somehow ban any benefit you get from it

[@therexbellator]

@@AGuy-vq9qp What a dumb comment. Did you miss the part where it took him 16 tries to get this victory? The AI did exactly what it needed to do to win but he got the upper hand this time. They didn't attack him because he was not seen as a threat or as a target because of his remote location and once he got on their good side he could just focus on the diplo game. Additionally, the continual disasters both allowed him to feed himself diplo points as well as keeping the AI off balance because it was in constant rebuilding mode. I'm not going to say Civ's AI is flawless but then no 4x game has flawless AI. Not one. They all have blind spots that can be exploited. Until machine learning or some other advanced system is incorporated the existing state of AI is pretty much stretched to its limits.

Next Challenge: Win a Religious Victory the Next turn after founding It How you may ask? Simple: As any Civ (You can choose the worst one possible for this Challenge, like Canada), Get a Great Prophet but not use It, do a Domination Game, but leave one Civ With its Capital Alive, and once you feel you can convert the remaining Civilization to your Religion, making sure There are Holy Sites in Most of you Important cities (so that these cities have your Religion as Majoritary), you found your Religion, Buy a bunch of Apostles, and inmediately convert the remaining Civilization. This has to be done in Deity Difficulty, and, optionally, for extra Pain, you could do the Challenge in an Enormous/Huge Map (12 Players by Default) and Also play whilst on Epic Difficulty. Have fun having the worst time of your Life!

These conditions were so favorable tbh, CoD island so no one can acquire the tiles or your units & apocalypse++ to have as many as aid requests as possible. I think the thing worked on this 17th try was not loosing the game as someone else finished a victory condition. For most of the votes he didn't marked the Civ with most diplo favor in the civ selection votes. But all in all an entertaining video, takes a good amount of time to create and I really liked the editing at the end. It was creative and engaging :)

The trick to world domination: find a tall rock and become a loan shark

[@bolionce]

Some tricks for voting in congress: 1) Only vote for someone to lose 2 diplo if they have 14+ points already. The AI will not vote for anyone to lose points unless they have 14+, so it’ll never win until then. Before that, always vote for whoever has the most diplo favor. 2) On things like culture bomb votes (certain others, I cant remember them all) the AI won’t put in more than 1 vote. Therefore, you are the deciding vote and should always win a point. 2.5) On votes like above (where you will be the deciding factor), always vote for whoever has the least points. A couple times you voted for Lady Six when she was in the lead on diplo. This makes it so she’ll get a point also, which you don’t want. 3) I think buying diplo favor would have been more worthwhile for you throughout the game, especially if you had it piled up for some of the later votes. Even just being able to put in 2-3 votes instead of 1 can be a big swing (like putting 2 into the culture bomb one will get you a point and stop anyone else from getting that point)
