I tried this after you gave his chanel a shoutout the other day. If a zombie kills a unit, it always spawns another zombie. When a zombie dies, all zombies get +1 mutation strength. I spent some time killing zombies with zombies and they became absolutely insane.

I’m pretty sure this is exactly what the Civ developers were thinking of when they made Quin Shi Huang’s new ability. Definitely they thought about how this ability would interact with zombies mode… More seriously I’m so glad this works like it does. I’m going to have to try this challenge myself!

For me, I think the best part was how much fun you were having while doing this challenge. 10/10 video

[@Flamestormq]

Your comment on making zombies I feel is legit. Honestly only when this mode is active, have a special civ available that isn't a true historical civ, and have it be basically you versus the world. In the initial stage of your game as long as you don't give open borders, and you don't have an owned zombie unit on the field, the other civ factions will still trade with you. Meanwhile for the early game you can set up zombie barbarian camps to make in general hostile zombies that attack anyone like the normal zombie mode, and shortly after the classical era through either a tech option(your tech tree will have some regular techs for economic and development, but all unit related tech is converted to zombie bonuses) or a pantheon option (you only have one pantheon you can choose, and it is subjugation or control of all zombie units like dead space markers, or hive minds) your tag is switched to being hostile to every other civ. However, it isn't like you research or pick this option and you become instantly hostile, you can still pretend to be a nomie civ until you click a button or build something. You have a domination victory (if you turn the other civ's capitals into a zombie city), science (creation of a dead space like entity the brethren moon who can create markers and spread across the universe), and a religious or cultural victory (self explanatory in regards to the people of the planet accepting zombies, or your religion which creates zombies).

[@megamax898]

The new Qin makes it actually possible to play the game by taking over the world with a horde of zombies. It turns zombie apocalypse mode on its head and now you're the zombies.

[@RMCbreezy]

Ya i just imagine the online lobbies zombies being all qin and zombies mode. Try and be the supreme zombie master

Syllable-final 'r' is silent in most dialects of Khmer which is why khmer is often pronounced khmae, but Northern Khmer still pronounces it, so don't get too stressed about saying khmer.

If you're interested in a challenge: it is possible to beat the game via culture using only the Biosphere and green energy as a tourism source on Deity. This means no Theatre Squares, Entertainment Complexes, Great Works/Relics, Walls, Wonders (besides the Biosphere), etc. I did it a while back and it was a really interesting game.

There should be an option to build a graveyard. The graveyard should let you build zombie units. They could require a unique resource (bodies). You gain one body any time you kill a unit. Maybe it could be a benefit of the Sanguine Pact. I'd also like to see a no city mod where you could have moveable 'camps' that could manufacture things... think of hordes of barbarians who raise an area and then move on, maybe converting a portion of captured enemy cities to units.

Hi Potato! Hope you're doing well. Always enjoy your content a lot & was wondering: would you consider putting together a "tutorial style" video, focusing on the ins and outs of the Great Wall? I assume there are lots of Civ players who, like me, now went back to playing as China for the first time in quite some time. I had forgotten just how tricky it is to get everything about the Great Wall just right. Timing, identifying priorities, when it makes sense to start off with another improvement, maybe already planning to replace it later on, having as few open wall ends as possible, etc. Especially after these China games, you must be full of nuggets of wisdom on this subject! Don't know how popular "tutorials" are vs game recaps, but with the right thumbnail -cough- not-clickbait -cough-☺ I'm sure it would find its audience... Or does the fact that in this last game, you ended up going all in on the Moai improvement mean that the Great Wall maybe just isn't all it's cracked up to be? 🥔 🐼
