Hey Spuddies, PotatoMcWhiskey here and since the reaction to the last video was so positive I thought I would do another one. I hope you guys enjoy this completely broken strategy of using Horses Only on Deity Difficulty in Civilization 6.

It's like nobody truly understood how incredibly broken the Mongols horsemen were in real life. They conquered most of Asia and it was actually the brothers fighting after gengis died that prevented them from making it into true history books as a massive empire. They would have stomped the polish if Ghengis hadn't died and the empire fractured from the infighting

you can buy the land under a barb camp, for those who dont know. Also, a game idea. Have a game with all the OP civs you can think of. Like Mongolia, and Mali

[@2Links]

11:50 On the other hand, having your cities follow your religion gives a bonus to loyalty.

[@jasonreed7522]

Lots of factors to consider when making that choice, the effort needed to spread the religion can be quite a resource drain, but a good religion is very helpful. In this case i don't think he would have been able to spread his religion as fast as he conquered land. (Spain's conquistadors convert cities when they take them so spain using a religion to aid loyalty when conquering is a good strat)

Aluminum-guy who discovered it wanted to call it alumium. He then changed his mind decided to call it Aluminum (the name used in America). Then someone in Britain decided that elements needed to end in “ium” and called it aluminium. So it’s correctly aluminum, but the British empire spread the wrong name aluminium to most of its empire.

What I tend to do as Genghis is to smash down early civs to a non-coastal secondary city (taking their initial capitals is always my goal) then leave them locked in place by my conquered cities essentially turning them into city-states is in a world dominated by my civ. I then just play out the game being the sole builder of wonders, being hundreds of years ahead in tech and culture and absorbing all available gold in the world via trades with the various civs.

[@dirt007]

The aluminum vs aluminium debate is funny. The Oxford dictionary actually recognizes them as two different spellings and pronunciations for the same word. So both are technically right.

[@tinchosabala]

I may be late, but my opinion on this matter is of utmost importance. For ages have we wondered, Aluminium...or Aluminium? After much deliberation, research, and countless sleepless nights, I think I have finally found an answer, so that our children may live in a brighter, better world. It's Aluminium.

I was worried that he'd actually use Tanks in horse only run, but luckily the game ended before that. Mongolia is super strong, I don't think many players understand how good that diplo visibility skill is. Rush Monarchy, build the building that gives a spy, and just start listening (on top of the trading post bonus of course). Conveniently, the same civic gives you the Chivalry card.

[@jacoborourke8714]

I am digging these "meme playthroughs" you're doing. I'd recommend a civ to play as next playthrough, but I'm not who you've not played as on the channel or Twitch.

[@jackyokeed7044]

Most definitely don't realize how powerful the Mongols were under Khan. The only reason we don't really hear about the Mongol Empire is because as soon as he passed the Empire onto his children they all went at each other's throats so it was a very short lived but quite massive empire. You should look how he took over most of Asia. He took out western Russia, down through Georgia, up to the Mediterranean, was working on wiping the Turkey area and passed away. The only thing that stopped them was the infighting caused through greed and stupidity. If they had stayed united instead of power hungry we would have truly seen the power of the Mongols

[@RanOutOfChannelNames]

The man who named aluminum (a Brit), pronounced it ah-loom-in-um. Al-oo-min-ee-um was proposed by his colleagues, which said it was more posh. He said, no, he named it, and it's pronounced ah-loom-in-um.

[@madmartigan1498]

Great gameplay. From a Civ 1 - Veteran...

[@atomic_godz]

you say it should be looked at in the balance department, but it looks like the real reason domination was so easy wasn't because 'mongol so broken!', it was because you got the great campuses and a huge tech lead. You're not one shotting cities because of a +12 from the intel, you're one shotting them because you've got cavalry when they have horsemen.

[@csgoplayer-ne5wn]

whenever I play mongolia I never train horses until I have an ordu. The extra movement point is really helpful, and if you have a great general you get 6 movement horses which is just insane. and there is that promotion (I forgot the name) which gives you +1 movements, so 7 movement horses and 6 movement knights. The only handicap is that the great general is rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy slow compared to the units. EDIT: The promotion is pursuit
