Brutal Deity Birthday Livestream

[@charlesrogers6382]

When I leave my KZbin running all day. I end the day 1.5 hours into 4 year old Potato Lifestream.

[@bluehuman1238]

Dude ikr. I just woke up to this playing

[@dan63456]

[@williamwheatley1852]

KZbin always brings me to this video 😒

[@yayurosee]

Same just woke up to this lol

[@Sharp2012UpTempo]

“Lifestream” is correct usage of the autocorrect 😅

[@ElSnail]

Happy birthday! Your most recent series really helped me learn a lot about science victories. I decided to try out Arabia on standard and I got the victory on turn 300. I also got super lucky by being isolated on my own massive continent after taking out Scythian Empire and Japan. I'm a new player to Civ so that series in particular really helped with all the in depth tips. Love all your content and it's all a lot of fun to watch.

My friend got me into civ recently and I am totally addicted to it and watching you just makes me realise how much I gotta learn and it just reinforces my love for the game. Sorry for the late wishes but happy birthday.

[@chunkychuck]

To answer this question for Potato (hopefully he doesn't mind): you'll only see the last 2 hours of the stream here until KZbin processes the rest! Hopefully it doesn't take as long as the last one, but that was a much longer video (9 hours? vs 4 here)

Incredibly good set up, even Tamar couldn't wreck it. Enemies all 1 side, ocean and a city state everywhere else, very nice. Smart move eliminating Shaka early on. Happy birthday.

2:05:27 Don't fisheries give housing though? I actually use them to increase housing in coastal cities beyond what would otherwise be possible until you get to those floating habitation dome thingies. You can cycle governors and get a lot of OP combos if you get certain benefits.

[@hitwoman5650]

Thanks you for this, nice and lovely to sleep to for about 2 hours.

[@Pierre-gk5ky]

Man, I played Apocalypse Mode Yesterday and actually got to full CO2 levels for the first time. Of the first 4 comets that hit, the first one hit my second city and the 4th hit my capital. Both were part of a mega industrial complex that carried me through that game. Not to mention the wonders I lost. Still managed to win because I was on cruising mode to Diplomatic Victory, but boy was that painful.

[@locoyque100]

Thanks!

[@cameronwilliams889]

I could watch the first 50 turns of you playing civ over and over.. probably because i understand it the most, but I thoroughly enjoy the early game

[@balarammusa]

This' crazy stuff, I am now a huge fan, Potato

[@nolangray7241]

Happy birthday potato! I love ur vids and they make me smile. You are teaching me a lot about civ 6! Thank you, and again, happy birthday!

[@joeburnett1701]

3:01:08 I've been wondering about that, because I think the opposite -- if you can't build a lumber mill on it, but also can't build a district, wonder, etc., then there's no point to harvesting it because it provides a constant enhancement to the tile in addition to the enhancement of whatever you need to build on there to get the luxury. I would only harvest it if I absolutely needed the production/food in that instant, because otherwise there's this tile in my empire that is unchangeable that would be made more lame if I cut down whatever feature was there.

[@JHooves714]

Its also my birthday! I knew I liked you for a reason lol. Been enjoying the Civ Overexplained stuff. Keep up the good work!

[@Kazihirom]

If you want the trophy for Diety difficulty really easy just make a two player game with the religious victory only and your opponent is mvemba because he can’t found a religion. Works best on island map because he also doesn’t like building a navy

[@JacksonOwex]

I've been watching WAY too many Potato Civ 6 videos the last few days and that damn alert is stuck in my head! lol

[@williamwheatley1852]

Agree so much on the ship movement and that, I try to think realistically why, i pretend the ship has to anchor to ready for repairs

[@KingMJAH]

Is it true that grievances affect city loyalty ? How does that work ?

[@kurtmayhew895]

Grievances affect captured cities. The more grievances you have towards the original owner the more loyalty penalty you'll have. This then has affect on amenities.

[@DarthRaptor22]

The other day, I started a game on deity with a standard sized map, but with 20 civs and like 30 city states on apocalypse mode. Got a diplo victory about 200 turns in from all of the aid requests lol

[@crystalsaturn7503]

In my option, the following is the difficulty of the victories: (easiest) Science --> Culture --> Domination --> Religion --> Diplomacy -->Score (hardest). I put the Score victory last because the game usually ends long before you reach turn 500. Of course you could make a shorter game or disable all the other victory conditions in order to get a Score Victory.

[@JessWLStuart]

Happy Birthday! Thanks for giving us the present of so much awesome content!

[@Korlinki]

Happy birthday dude its so much fun watching you play game to stop every 2 seconds to thank some dude for money best video ever

[@hypermag]

I am not sure if anyone else has said this yet. But what I have found is once you have one crash on a game/save file, it will continue to have crashes. it just seems to be linked to that game/save and will continue when ever you play off that file.

[@stevenlang90]

I BLAME YOU MCWHISKEY!!! I was in the grocery store today and saw the potatoes, and this sing-song voice in my head said.. “Boil ‘em, Mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew.”...

[@Ansive]

Crashes are why I changed my autosave frequency to 'each turn'. Worst case I only use 1 turn.

[@GreekRoyalty]

I keep wondering if Georgia is basically a substitute for the Byzantines in this game (walls, defensive, faith based into tourism), or if they will be unleashed in the upcoming Civs. I have had many thoughts on how they could work in Civ 6 in interesting ways.

[@arturcarreira8595]

I will question your decision once more, but only because youre are the best civ player i know (and i mostly watch civ) and i hope to learn with yout awnser: at 37:00 you put your goverment plaza. Wouldnt it be better to put ar the 2f2p west Gori or the the 2food flood play closest to ondini and west Gori? There are less good tiles to work around (so less loss on puting the districts ?

[@kylearcenal4792]

Yay! Happy Birthday Potato! Here's to more videos.

[@arandomfatbloke3352]

Left KZbin on while I slept. Finished the first video, pretty short. Then ran through a 4 hour Spiffing Brit Civ5 video, followed up by a 4 hour Potato Civ5 video. Does KZbin know I'm sleeping and puts on these marathon videos on purpose?

[@MrGameandSoup]

How do you do the switch places maneuver with units? in my games it doesn't let me move a unit where an adjacent one is standing.

[@azimuthclark462]

Somebody asked is the DLC worth the money? I was hesitant at first, but playing these new Civ over the past weeks has been a lot of fun. I played a game with Mali last night, I used the strategy I learned from this channel, and I had so much fun. I'm getting ready to play another game with hungry. And I've had my eye on Columbia as well, if you can afford it and you really want to beef up your game, I think the new content is awesome. The secret societies, Gyros, apocalypse, all add a new twist to the game and make the strategy that much more fun

[@conorvedova3222]

Is it just me or wouldn't online be the hardest because optimizing eurekas, etc is way harder and worth less. Also, the AI's number of cities will give them a huge headstart in online mode.

[@thedirtbagstash]

This, also less turns to arrange units and plan attacks. Aside from the first few turns when enemy units vastly outnumber you, longer game speeds actually get easier and easier as the game progresses and you get your infrastructure up.

[@JJaustex]

Did you ever finish this game?

[@internalfugue16]

HBD! I'm curious how you learned about things like ROI and opportunity cost, you also mentioned decision matrices. Was it through finance, game theory, coding etc. I feel inspired to learn the theories behind the strategy. Open to recommendations of smart people to research or good resources.

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

I just taught myself this stuff by doing research online

[@ridhasidi672]

Happy birthday! My game also crashed a couple of times since the June update.

[@ryanbrooks4896]

seems more like a diplomacy civ. early faith synergizes with diplomacy wonders, and faith based unit purchases to cover protectorate wars.

[@joeburnett1701]

3:43:30 I would promote it, since it can't earn XP while it's holding the promotion and will be more useful with a promotion -- not too much danger of death since you have 3 bombards and the computer seems to target the weaker (i.e. non-promoed) units all else equal.

Did he ever finished that game? I cannot find a continuation?

[@galileo1991]

An idea for amending the diplomatic penalty for occupying an enemy capital: "Each era that passes since the capital was captured reduces the diplomatic penalty by 1 (or 2)." This fits as other civ would naturally become more apathetic towards your previous aggression as time goes on. So if you captured an enemy capital in the ancient era then that would only cost you 3 Diplomatic Favour per turn by the Renaissance Era. Thoughts?

[@RandomNumberGaming]

This video is an example of why you're such a great entertainer. Cheers

[@polpo8342]

Missed this one by a long shot, but I have an aching feeling that Potato is going to get throughly boiled, mashed, and stuck in a stew. Here’s hoping that you don’t get swamped by Cyrus’s Immortals in the first 100 turns! 🤞

I'll turn back the way I came then I suppose...

I think at the question if you have a partner, does he/she play games too? The most supporting other halves, are likely to play games too and accept the partner streaming or editing for hours. Still there some tubers that play A LOT, and their other half is doing other stuff and sometimes show up in the vid with a kid or their own created work. But of course it's personal, but we here wants to know more...:) Because we love you!

@@Jolly_Dodger Ok, Captain Obvious, but it's not wrong to ask the question. If they want to inform you or not is up to them. Some ppl actually do inform followers of their life and some doesn't. They might don't do, if the question is never asked.
