As Potato repeatedly admits, he got way too greedy here by forward settling an AI and stealing their natural wonder, especially when he was an easy target with no military. But I think the game could still be won if he had kept his head and played rationally. Sweden repeatedly offered him peace and reparations of 19 GPT if he ceded the city. Potato should have realized that he couldn't beat the AI to crossbows when his science was in the single digits. So he should have taken the peace deal and used the gold to kill Dido and build up his economy. Then he could have returned and killed Sweden. I'd love to see a video where he reloads a save from the war and gives this strategy a try.

[@CornBredCrusader]

Around 16:40 Potato covers one of my least favorite things about playing on higher difficulties in civ. The AI at the start of the game has HUGE bonuses. Multiple settlers. You really can't compete against them for early wonders. And then those bonuses don't scale and the AI just becomes a bowl of mashed potatoes in the mid to late game where the player just runs them over even with the bonuses they get to science/production/etc. I hope that moving to civ 7 they find a way to create more of a happy medium, where players can't compete for early wonders, always have to watch for a forward settling diety AI that just bum rushes you with settlers from turn 1, and in return the AI scales better into the late game EDIT: Dido with 69 science on 2 cities (only one campus) on turn 124 proving my point

[@Jack_Rakan]

I agree, the AI players should get less starting bonuses, and more scaling bonuses. Something like a third of their starting bonuses in the Ancient era, and then another stack of the bonuses every era after that. It gives the player more breathing room in the early game and makes the AI more challenging in the mid to late game in situations other than 'haha 2 of your neighbors locked you down in a forever war while someone on the other side of the map steamrolled out of control'.

[@ascii_9727]

scaling bonuses are so much more interesting than flat bonuses or starting bonuses, I hope more 4x games consider implementing them, I'd love to play against an AI that starts with modest bonuses but stacks up to +300% yields in the lategame

[@Jack_Rakan]

@@stevedhondt That's an idea too.... if you want to wait around for 2 hours after every turn in the late game while the game simulates every single one of the million possible combinations of actions it CAN take for every single AI and decides on the best course of action.

[@ianking7511]

I think it would be really interesting to explore the possibility of variable ai. What I mean is, I want a 4x game where the ability of the ai to play the game and make good decisions changes over the course of the game. Or ai that's good at some things, but bad at others. The problem with civ difficulty is that it's all based on production bonuses and free stuff, rather than computer players actually being any good at the game. Perhaps it's genuinely not possible to code an AI that can beat human players at Civ, at least not while running on home hardware, but given the capabilities of modern ai it feels unlikely.

[@Jack_Rakan]

@@ianking7511 while the idea is very interesting, the problem is that, technically there are too many posibilities in a 4x game like Civ that the AI needs to process through for it to be viable for home PC's. Every turn every city has anything from 20-50 different things it can build, from districts to units to city projects, and the AI needs to have the ability to shift from the currently built target to another one. However each individual city of a 10-15 city empire needs to work together, and not be treated separately, otherwise players will discover this and abuse it against the AI. And that's only taking into account current turn availability. A good AI would also need to be able to take into account future options: for example, new districts being unlocked, that a normal player DOES take into account when planning cities. A good AI would also need to take into account stuff like trades that can influence it's options: For example a city can build a +3 Campus near the city center. BUT, a human player will also see that if they sell some resources for flat cash, they can now afford to buy two tiles out and that would give them access to a +7 Campus on the edge of the city. Every extra possible action exponentially increases the amount of iterations of possibilities the AI would need to go trough to reach the best outcome possible, which would lengthen turn timers for the AI to unreasonable levels. The alternative would be to create an AI that 'learns' to play the game, like how an AI capable of playing Starcraft 2 was created, that eventually was able to compete with the best players in the game, but that 'solution' comes with it's own set of problems.

[@kindrogue5586]

Problems I see with deity: 1- Early game: A: Ai starts close to you and you get into a at least 100 turns war, and ai has so much spare production and science there's literally no way for you to keep up, by the time you clear ai's starting army usually they have walls/crossbows. They literally send units down the drain just to keep you from progressing. B: You try settle, and keep up with the ai in terms of science and culture and until you keep up, forget about any offensive interaction. 2-Mid Game: You can build wonders ai doesn't prioritize, like petra, colossus, mauseloum, sometimes kilwa etc. You catch up with the ai and this phase of the game is actually decent. If you conquer any ai city though you'll be surprised with how crap it is compared to what they have been pumping out from that city. Ai may attack you sometimes in this phase, but usually doesn't, early wars happen way to often compared to this phase of the game wars. (I'm talking 100-200 turns) 3- Late game: If you have your gameplan established ai doesn't stand any chance against you, doesn't declare wars pretty much at all. Their stupid bonuses start to fall of, since they don't get governments and usually have crappy cities. Ai is super slow on victory conditions, it usually never gets religion victory on it's own even if you take no part in it, pretty slow on science, ocasional civs try culture victory but you can defend against it. There were so many times I was winning mostly because ai decided to not use it's gdr's they have built against me and let me have a peaceful endgame. Summary: Deity early game is a menace, you hate to have it near you, it ruins games by mindlessly attacking you with sheer power and you never had the chance to do anything. Mid/late ai doesn't attack you usually, and lets you win. Their bonuses aren't enough in the lategame to cover up the stupidty they have. I'd like for the ai to have scaling bonuses through the game so they have more bonuses they have from the standart deity ai in the late game. But they don't start with 3 settlers and 5 warriors they can forward settle + rush you down in the early game, but have a better late game. Also it'd be cool if they tried to actually win. Rather than "let me research every tech I don't ever need before winning". Basically: problem isn't how hard it is, problem is why and how it is hard.

[@megamax898]

Oh yeah. Taking AI cities sucks. Like I tried to take a city that had no production, and they just put up mid walls like it was nothing. I ended up getting this forward settled city through loyalty, and it was just painful how long it would even take to get a monument. And the AI only improved one tile...

[@Savaris96]

kinda reminds me of stellaris difficulty, where you they basically scale from default to your set difficulty over the course of the game, getting the highest bonuses by the endgame start year, it keeps the AI kinda relevant, unless you play some kind of tryhard tech-rush build and clown on everything because you are years ahead in technology Even the better players suddenly start struggling once they cannot gain the tech leverage by the midgame, and every OP Strat involves maxing out technology in one way or another, which of course is fair, but the AI doesnt know that, on Grand Admiral its just ahead by nature due to the 2x modifier on almost everything

This just reinforces my longstanding belief that the Cree are just kind of underwhelming as a civ. Mekewaps are very situational and even then aren't especially useful until mid or late game when build charges aren't so precious anymore and they have decent yields. The trade route bonuses are nice, but it's rare that you actually gain useful tiles from the trade routes. Something that would make the Cree much better is if their trades routes completed / moved much more quickly, so you could claim more than 2-3 tiles every 20-30 turns. I mean I think trade routes are too slow in general, but the Cree's should move even faster to encourage the use of their land grab.

The fact that even potato can lose his capital makes me feel a lot better about myself.

I'm a new player, I've been struggling a lot with deity, I was noticing the same thing. Seems like it just gets way too much for free well into the game. Glad to see I'm not the only one. I've played a bunch of other civs, been playing civ 6 for about 2 weeks, really like the new mechanics it has.

I love how he pauses for a bit every time he says "Peepeekisis".

This just seems like a Netherlands game mode

I would love for an apocalypse version of the map where Potato settles the high ground and pumps out coal factories until the oceans rise, wiping out his foes

12:30 Why placing commercial hubs and campuses on marsh tiles when you can built Etemenaki and roll any victory condition with insane tiles

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

Etemenaki goes very early

[@Jack_Rakan]

You need a very specific type of start to be able to get Etemenanki on deity. You need very early faith to grab Marshes pantheon. You need to beeline Pottery, Writing and Mining. You need 2-3 Luxuries to sell to the AI for gold to buy builders and tiles. And you need to have at least 3+ forests to chop to be able to get it in time. You also need to not spawn too close to an AI, or they will come to take your cities because of course they will.
