T162 Korea Science Speed Run - Korea Is Definitely A Top Tier Civ | Civ 5 Deity Livestream

[@jamesdowell5268]

Can we appreciate that at 1:17:30 on Turn 64 nizef_g predicts a win between turn 160-168, and then the win is actually on turn 162??? I knew diety play was precise, but didn't realize it was that precise haha

The Battle of Myeongnyang was 13 ships under the command of Admiral Yi(The guy was a normal general but was forced to become an Admiral at the start of the invasion" vs 333+ Japanese ships. 133 warships plus "at least" 200 support ships. The actual number of the Japanese navy during the battle might actually have been much higher. The Japanese didn't record how many ships they had and the Korean scout sent to count the number of the ships just stopped counting once he got to 333. It is unclear whether he stopped because that was all the ships but the "at least" part of Admiral Yi's suggests the scout just got bored and knew more ships wouldn't affect the outcome of the battle. It really isn't as impressive an accomplishment given the major technological advance of the Korean ships. The Turtle ships each had 30 cannons with a 360 range around the ships. Whereas the Japanese ships were just regular pre-gunpowder warships. Due to the isolationism of Japan, they didn't use cannons on their navy at all (In a major battle, I'm sure some local warlords did it at one point). By the time their isolationism ended and the Japanese required a navy the world had already moved on to using artillery instead of cannons.

Just discovered your channel after nearly a year off civ, so enjoyable watching you play and explaining things!

[@wyvernzu5195]

The science boost from building science buildings/wonders in capital is absurdly powerful, simply because that the amount of science gained from this boost is independant on your current science per turn, but instead dependant purely on all the available techs that you can research at the moment. The amount of science is equal to half of the median tech cost of all techs that you can currently research. In addition, the game somehow treats this boost as completing a Research Agreement (since Research Agreement in vanilla Civ 5 has the exact same effect), thus this boost can also be further increased by Scientific Revolution policy and Porcelain Tower, meaning that after possessing both, the boost now equals exactly the median tech cost of all techs that you can research. Thus specifically for a science victory, you can delay your Public School, Research Lab, Observatory (if applicable), Oxford and even NC till reaching information era, and when timed right, you can instantly research most of the required techs in information era WITHIN ONE TURN, meaning less GSs are needed, or meaning you could buld GSs prior to Plastic (on Industrialization, on Plastic, on Radio, etc.) to further speed up the progress.

If you are on reasonable diplomatic terms with the AI you can stop them from religious conversions on your cities. Once they do one "spread religion" action in your empire, go to the diplomacy screen and ask them to stop sending prophets and missionaries to you. Usually they will unless they are unfriendly or hostile.

[@VaxVaxter]

I've been wanting to up the difficulty in my Civ games, and your videos and livestreams have started to help my playstyle and mindset. Even just plotting an auto-move path to 'radar' for unseen barbs is a great idea I'd never have thought of.

[@lujoconnor]

strong start, might try this map

[@PCJLaw]

It certainly has a lot of potential!

[@bedwarssweat6205]

I would say that crossbows are the most viable form of taking out civs in medieval era but the trebuchets don't hurt. The issue lies in the fact that they're sitting ducks with low defense and have problems defending themselves. Add to the fact that the flexibility in "step and shoot" is gone for them makes them worse than cannons and artillery where the sheer dps and lack of decent ranged unit makes them amazing

[@lucascorreadl]

Riga literally sponsored your workforce xD

[@Warrior_Whitten]

Alright J Law, be honest. Looking back and seeing the unhappiness with lack of growth, do you think it would have been better or worse to have stayed with 4 cites? Why?

[@PCJLaw]

Busan was rough, but I do think it got me back more than it cost. Good question though! The best science runs tend to be 5 city Tradition or 8 City Liberty, so that's what I try to aim for You have to remember that a happiness issue isn't really a happiness issue if it's because you have a tonne of population! If I'm honest, it's pretty rare to get enough happiness for more population than we did, and because there wasn't a ridiculous river capital, that 5th city helps quite a lot with population My consideration usually is, as long as I have the right combination of unique luxuries and duplicates, whether or not that extra city works me more good tiles, and if it does you can found it. That's why you don't see 6 or 7 City Liberty being the best for Science, because often 5 Tradition cities can work all the good tiles that would exist in a 7 City Liberty empire

[@DaniilBurlov]

How many times did you restsrt the game?

[@Blanchedout421]

What, if any, mods do you use? Your city UI is distinctly different and more streamlined than my vanilla. The colored hexagons look nice, I want them lol

[@somedude5264]

Great question. I found it interesting too, since it appears to show some information which are usually hidden behind multiple menus or not visible at all. I made some research and it appears that all the changed UI aspects come from one mod: "Enhanced User Interface" (EUI for short). Make sure though NOT to install the mod via the Steam workshop. "civfanatics"-website (cant post full url :/ you need to find it yourself) has a thread dedicated to this mod, download it from there (v1.29i appears to be the most recent version) and install it manually. The workshop version is old and does not work anymore (at least for me). Installing it manually will cause it to be handled as a DLC, which allows for usage in multiplayer and it allows you to gain archivements.

[@somedude5264]

just noticed 1:41:55

[@LodrikBadric]

I really like your videos and have learnt much from you! 👍🏻 But I have to say, that the music in the videos is distracting as hell, if one wants to follow what you're saying, describing, explaining. 😅

[@r__1187]

Do you think you can start uploading in 1080p again? I really want to watch all your games but it's difficult to see everything when it's so blurry :/

[@PCJLaw]

Good question - apologies! I had been tinkering with my video settings because Streamlabs OBS had been recording each stream into 70Gb videos! I had to re-render them down to about 30Gb before I could get them uploaded in anything less than 12 hours to KZbin I was playing with settings to get the Streamlabs OBS files down to a size I could directly upload but I got it wrong in this one and couldn't correct it. I thought it was a shame no to upload this, so I did it anyway, but I have figured it out now and subsequent videos will be 1080p HD

[@alive-cat1]

Now do the impossible: Deity Venice tourism victory with loyalty

[@lawrencelawsen6824]

Hello are you a good enough player to do a standard speed science victory on deity?

[@thomasboelle4495]

Ofc he is, standart speed victory is easier than quick speed

[@karthiksaadithya]

Raging barbarians on ?

[@alikgrigoryan7263]

It is hard to find map with 2 salts )))
