Although I've been playing civs 6 since 2016, I don't have the knowledge of every wonder, great person, tech, civic, etc. like Potato has.

Like if you would also want to see this!

[@cirexgaming4325]

I am new to Civ. Watching these wars is very impressive on how you are able to manage it. I understand that your experience and knowledge is beyond masterful but it is a delight to see. After starting to watch you, I am able to capitalize on enemy weaknesses and recognize their strengths. I am only around 100 hours into Civ so I do have to at times rewatch just to make sure I understand what is occurring. Applying these ideas to your own game is fantastic and also situational. The key is recognizing when to do it.

[@vincegaming2434]

I think the fact you got an Aid request really allowed you to move forward with the war. Because you were gold strangled, and without that gold you would have not been able to purchase the bombards, upgrade them and so on.
