Civ 6 Egypt - Cleopatra Livestream (A-Z Challenge)

[@NickTheNickname]

I believe that as a viewer, this was actually one of the most educational of your civ starts, because you had to spend so much time getting absolutely SWAMPED by barbs and enemy units at EXACTLY the worst time, right before you could begin getting your theater squares out. Very entertaining, watching your responses and preparations to at least marginally get yourself through unscathed.

[@matthewmcneany]

You made the right call, don't let chat bully you. If you want to role play Rivers Egypt you role play the hell out of rivers Egypt.

[@ted_maul]

"Take 200 gold and piss off". Actual LOL.

[@Frenchie100]

18:02 Hi Potato, you said "I would love to build the Great Bath this game". As Egypt, whose ability is "Districts, improvements and units are immune to damage from floods", you already have the Great Bath's main effect built in! ;)

[@WarpSpastic]

Probably wanted it for the faith on flooded tiles.

[@b21225]

Enjoyed the closer focus on the game. I admit that seeing Potato have to deal with problems is sometimes more entertaining then when things go his way. The defense of Hattusa was kind of thrilling.

[@aidanabregov1412]

28:00 I can hear chat screaming “reload”

[@TheBake1986]

38:26 I find that barb camps nearly always spawn a new unit when I’m about to demolish it

[@M0rmagil]

Why not Earth Goddess? Sphinx boost appeal, makes it easier to get that faith boost. River Goddess is a good choice here, too. It’s a no brainer with the Khamir

[@igooog]

jfc it's nearly 3 years later and that return from afk scared the hell outta me

[@stewartgames6697]

I'd highly recommend trying an Egypt religious game. They are incredibly strong if you get the Earth Goddess pantheon thanks to Sphinxes boosting tile appeal (A ring of 3 Sphinxes produces +11 faith with Earth Goddess, more if the Sphinxes are next to Wonders). I feel like you go for a "No Religion Tourism" victory pretty often, would be cool to see you try other victory types (like that awesome diplo game you ran), and Egypt - as one of the strongest religious civs, with faster Holy Sites, Wonders, and the mighty Sphinx tile improvement - would have been a great choice for a Religious victory. But maybe you are saving it for Tomyris?

[@jasonmaynard2402]

I wonder if there is a game mechanic that dictates increased barbarians when playing Cleopatra. Every time I play her I am plagued with barbs.

[@yooloo33]

[@Squishy_Joe]

What was the game seed for this? I'd like to try playing along!

[@caioaugustodelfinorezende8676]

It is very nice, having seen more recent Potatoes, see how the gameplay was.

[@IceWraith101]

"Look at this loser, reloading his games like a save scummer." Did I do that correctly?

[@calebpowell5639]

Love the streams! And thank you for the videos :)

[@Dragooncore]

I'm glad you reloaded. Its a single player game, you do what you want. Besides, why sit with a mistake for 3-4 hours when you can change it with a few clicks?

Do you not rate magnus to spam out settlers with his no pop loss ability?

Holy crap your chat can get annoying. That spammer must have bet his life savings he'd get you to rename that city.

[@felixccaa]

4:40 but You did great with the romans in my opinion

[@pierrettejean1539]

Wow what a discover in our rouf time . You spk a little fast for the foreigner. But i reach a lvl wich need your advices. Keep it on:)

[@haz-mattstudio6074]

Had to laugh at you when you started looking for your floodplains production bonus. Man, two years is a long ass time XD

[@eXistenZ15]

I'm really late, but any reason you wait so long to lock in districts? I see 2 at turn 85

[@davidhuston495]

Everyone denounces you because you take Hattusa. Well, Congo's butthurt because you sniped Hattusa from them.

[@phoenixma1213]

What was the seed number for the game

[@nosuitsgiven]

Why do I have a maximum number of 14 City-States and not 18? What am I missing here?

[@basti2955]

You don’t even own a suit! it depends on the map size

[@richyrich6099]

What the fuck is with those barbarians?! None of them saw your cities or had the scouts return and yet all of them started spawning units all over the place. That is just ridiculous.

[@geksos]

Hi Potato, What Mods do you use???

[@mrdrprofsteve506]

He only uses the simple UI mod.

[@andressalcedo4076]

I'm new to CIV 6. Is it best to always keep expanding by settling everywhere?

[@pairot01]

There is no "best", but the more cities you have the faster you can make stuff, and the earlier you get the cities the easier it is to bring them up to par with your older more developed ones. You should prioritize settling good cities rather than more cities, you can run thin on amenities.

[@GSRDoug]

don't let those live chatters bully you. Your the boss of your brain ship.

[@jesusthemezziuggh]

Just bought the console version of Civ 6...so in total I have spent like 400 on civ

[@babel_UV]

[@ezrapark9992]

Potato when you post bad games it makes me wanna finish my own bad games. Your strategy for Egypt is similar to mine, get Pyramids, purchase builders, go commercial hubs and theater squares, no religion.

Did u install mods? If yes , can u name them plz? Or make a video about essential mods

The only mod that he uses is the simple UI mod.

[@bonelessfrosty5084]

What UI mod do you have on so that you can see culture and Science and all that in the top right?

[@Jazter]

It's a in-game setting called show yield ribbons

Hey potato I have an idea, play with all duplicates Gilgamesh and befriend them all and call the game "Friendship is Magic" or something like that

this dude legit said that youtube is better than twitch...

[@anthonyreyes2554]

If AI takes over city states, no emergency war or almost no penalties, but if player does it, world emergency. I really hate that in this game.

[@thelegendjm3833]

Bruh facts. That happens way too much. Imo, ai civs are way too aggressive and take cities that are totally useless. A civ will literally war with you over settling too close to them even if that city has absolutely nothing good in it 😂

[@thelegendjm3833]

And it's also really annoying to become the Suzerian of a city state only to have a warmonger leader on a world conquest for territory destroy them and take the city. So fun.
