Save File Magic 3: Suede Techs Literally 2000% Faster Than You

[@perrybeamer890]

Video idea: tech tree overview, which techs to go for in which situations, which to let the ai take, etc

[@Kralnor]

Great idea. Also with suggestions for various map types and victory conditions (like Map Maping is crucial on Archipelago).

[@christheriault1307]

your videos are great. It has improved my civ 3 skills tremendously. I look forward to more of your content.

[@Lollaksyotuube]

Me too mate.

Idea for a video, you could give us a brief tour of like your top 10-20 save files

Not for youtube hahah. Too much of a time commitment

+2000% means x21 btw. As a mind note: +100% means x2

[@DLLW93]

So we get a rep loss when we raze a city, right? Do we still get that rep hit if we cap a small city and auto raze it?

[@Kralnor]

Is Navigation even considered useless on an Archipelago? Magellan's Voyage gives +1 movement to all naval units and is never obsoleted. I guess its the optional tech cost on top that makes it too expensive to go for?

[@robertschatz7781]

The AI goes for it so you can trade for it once they have it.

Hi there, can you tell me if its there a way to prevent from losing up a town i just conquered due to government fall?

[@suedeciviii7142]

uhh, you mean it's culture flipping? Assimilate a cultural majority, usually through starving it. Or raze the city. Or just leave the city empty and retake if it flips.

Damn, increasing the tech output by 200% on the first turn

[@Spoonwood]

I thought commercial civs just have reduced corruption. 2 workers per city for a regular civ and 1.5 for an industrious is what I remember as the guidelines on civfanatics. Also, irrigation is possible everywhere with the discovery of Electricity.

[@suedeciviii7142]

Commercial civs get +2 commerce per turn in the city center at size 7. I did a test a while back and discovered that, in many cases, that was actually a bigger deal than the (modest) reduction in corruption they get.

[@alexcaffri9091]

[@DiabloMet]

Hey suede, every time I switch to republic it seems to crash my economy despite the commerce bonus. It doesn’t normally seem to be unit support causing the issue, what else would it be?

[@suedeciviii7142]

Lots of people posted plausible reasons. I'd have to see the save file, send it to [e-mail]. Unless you're turning up the luxury slider when you switch, it doesn't make sense though. Honestly from experience, I'd say, are you absolutely sure unit support isn't the issue? Remember, in republic, you pay 2 gold per turn per unit over the cap. So even being, say, 10 units over the cap, can be quite costly if you don't have much income.

[@jojohehe3251]

I'm confused about the balance between capturing land and avoiding corruption. On a continent map, don't you want to capture all of the land?

[@suedeciviii7142]

You do yes. There's no balance. More land is good almost without exception. Just the cities you capture will become increasingly useless.

[@jojohehe3251]

@@suedeciviii7142 so don't build or grow them? if there is no commerce, no tax revenue, thus buildings will be a white elephant?

[@suedeciviii7142]

@@jojohehe3251 Yes and no. For example, in republic you get unit support out of them for being size 7. And courthouses reduce corruption.

I started with CIv 1 when I was 10 years old. Together with my 3 yrs older brother we grinded the sh it out of civ 1,2 and 3. So many things and issues are just so logical and plainly simple for me, because I got taught by my older brother as a child. XD

[@eetuthereindeer6671]

I was talking abou small islands in a live video chat with someone. I said i once saw a country spawn on an island so small that they could ony fit their capital in it and he didn't seem to believe me. Well again i found a map like that! I got the huge map with 15 other civilizations on pangea with 80% water and Sumeria spawned on an island that they completely had inside their borders when the capital borders grew!

[@bressingham6]

I bet you’ve probably done this somewhere but I would love to hear you explain Forbidden Palace

[@onedementedcow3119]

I don't remember in which video he explained it, but I'll try to sum up what I remember from it. Forbidden Palace acts as a normal Palace only for the city in which you build it (i.e. removing all corruption). It does not reduce corruption in other cities based on their distance to the Forbidden Palace city, meaning cities directly adjacent to it will not get a large reduction in corruption. However, it does provide a small, equal reduction in corruption for all cities (or at least ones on the same continent, can't remember which).

[@bressingham6]

@@onedementedcow3119 thanks! I ended up seeing the Suede video on it and that about sums it up. It's a shame there's no proximity bonus for it, maybe that was added in Civ IV or later? either that or its an urban legend xD

When you swapped the tax collectors to work tiles, the income went from -1 to -2? what's going on there?

[@suedeciviii7142]

The tile itself generates commerce. This is why specialists suck so much.

[@jyrgenruut]

@@suedeciviii7142 At 0:53 the total income is -1, but after you changed the two tax collectors to work the tiles (the coast tiles, which both generate 2 commerce each - the same amount as the tax collectors would, no?), but the income went down to -2 per turn?

[@suedeciviii7142]

@@jyrgenruut Think about it hard. Puzzle for you. Spoilers below if you want the answer. Answer: Science slider is at 20%. Tax collector goes directly into the treasury, while yields drawn from tiles are filtered through the different sliders. Even though it costs me one gold, it earns me one science.
