Civ 6 | The Most Undervalued Civ In Civ 6? I'll Show You Why! (#1 Mapuche Civilization VI)

[@johnmartin-ef6tf]

I would like to thank you for all your content, until i watched your videos i had not been able to beat Deity. Now i'm in the process of winning as Indonesia, which means i have now beaten Deity playing as every leader.

[@jacobdhall]

Congratulations!!!!

[@thebenqisme]

Nice. Now try romanholiday mod 😂

[@johnmartin-ef6tf]

@@thebenqisme i'm not that much of a masochist

[@MichaelDonkers]

Sounds like it's time for Sid Myers difficulty 😅

[@UrsaRyan]

Well done JohnMartin!!! That's awesome to hear = )

[@traviswilliams3034]

Fun fact, those Mapuche bonuses also apply to conquered city states. I've always felt Mapuche was one of the easier civs to play because all you have to do is swordsman rush a city state and you're on autopilot for the rest of the game.

[@lolwhatidk]

haha oh wow thats busted

[@UrsaRyan]

It's true! Such an underrated civ

[@SourceOfBeing]

£713 - Some tiles are breathtaking. But the University of Sankore is breathgiving.

[@berkbiggler]

I had accidentally stumbled on the anarchy mechanic when I was first watching your vids. Was trying to do an oligarchy to republic switch that I had seen you do in another video, however I had started in Republic and so was hit with the Anarchy prompt. Decided to just go with it and things still turned out fine in the end.

[@UrsaRyan]

Haha - it always seems so bad, but only 3 turns isn't gamebreaking if you can laugh it off = )

[@sarahwatts7152]

I've had a hard time with the Mapuche tile improvements in the past, maybe I'll give it another go

[@UrsaRyan]

You don't need to spam them - just a few and you'll be working multiple monuments worth of culture, they're great!

[@widgetb]

Ah excellent, the master class on Mapuche I needed. I never feel I play him to his full potential.

[@UrsaRyan]

Huzzah!

[@ProfMonkeys]

Not that it really matters, but there was nearly 30 turns of gameplay with a goody hut just west of Radiatori Mapu revealed and not noticed. Hopefully it will get noticed early in the next episode.

[@UrsaRyan]

I think I kept setting units to move to it but then getting distracted and moving the units away manually before they arrived xD

[@thebenqisme]

Its nice to play mapuche with bear governor mod bcs city parks isnt unlocked behind liang's promotion, makes high appeals so much easier to get

[@UrsaRyan]

Very true! A fun mod that one

[@StayCoolKeto]

*Glad you got these videos out! woo Civ 7 coming out and my graphics card in my laptop just started artifacting.... wonderful* 😭😭😭

[@UrsaRyan]

Huzzah!

[@s-man5647]

Mapuche versus deity plus plus with Bears Governor mod might be a sight to behold. All those extra settlers that the AI gets means more conquerable cities. The bonus to combat power when the AI is in a golden age would also help you to hold your ground in the early stages

[@UrsaRyan]

Sometimes people forget that domination games can be much easier if you let the ai settle - more land for you to acquire!

[@BriNelles]

my guy needs to do a violent dom game where he has that mod where each war-based civ he conquers, he gets that civ’s bonuses.

[@UrsaRyan]

Did you not see my recent Portugal game where I did just that ?? xD

[@BriNelles]

@ Oh I did. But imagine, instead of trade, you unleashed total, brutal WAR! How bonkers can you get your combat bonus?

[@Noah-bi4ll]

​@@UrsaRyanhe has a point, the snow ball would be good stuff!

[@bobbylite1969]

The Civ2 vets among us know that Anarchy was a thing you had to deal with at EVERY government switch 🙃

[@georgetownsend1479]

Hooray, Mapuche! I assume it's a coincidence you're playing him after I suggested doing the same golden gate strat but with chemamulls?

[@UrsaRyan]

Coincidence in this instance but it was a good idea!!

[@gumbycat5226]

I hope that after the first few weeks of Civ 7 you go back to Civ 6 and play it until Civ 7 becomes more-or-less fully featured.

[@UrsaRyan]

We'll see - civ 7 looks pretty entertaining though!

[@StrudelerOfTheTSociety]

Man, I love Mapuche. Every time I think about modding with loyalty the first question is, "what would Lautaro do?"

[@UrsaRyan]

Praise indeed from the modder extraordinaire!

[@flawles3893]

Only halfway through the video but I just wanted to share a fun fact: Mapuche's +10 combat strength works for religious units as well!

[@Dutch_is_a_Weird_Language]

I generally do not dislike Mapuche, but I absolutely *hate* the +10 CS vs. Golden Age players. An ability that actively *punishes another player for doing well* feels like a bad design decision. That coupled with the negative Loyalty effects of their Governors easily make Mapuche one of the worst neighbours to have.

[@UrsaRyan]

You see I quite like the mechanic - effectively you have a civ that gets stronger against people doing well, the great leveller, a bit like Peter's ability. Quite a clever see-saw mechanic imo

[@Dutch_is_a_Weird_Language]

Peter's ability differs in that Russia still has to put in effort to take advantage of that bonus by keeping positive relations with those Civilizations and investing in trading infrastructure. Swift Hawk is just there, a middle finger taunting you. If anything, it's more like John Curtin's ability. The part that boosts CS against Free Cities, however, on that I agree that it's clever, because it theoretically synergizes with Mapuche abilities into an actual strategy: ravage an enemy's lands, kill their soldiers, have their cities revolt because of the Loyalty hits and Governor influence, and then attack those Free Cities with a powerful boost and, because it is now a Free City, no additional Grievances.

[@Noah-bi4ll]

​@@Dutch_is_a_Weird_Languagenow that's a busted mechanic and I have plans now. You are a genius

[@Somerandomchap]

That little government switcheroo was genuinely something I've never seen before. :D

[@UrsaRyan]

Haha - not a very good strategy but very fun

[@prytification]

Whenever I play a game and Mapuche is on the Civ list ... then he's my first target and I try to take him out ASAP while not in a Golden Age myself, because of his culture accumulation in combination with wonder building making him even more powerful is CRAZY!

[@UrsaRyan]

Fighting him in a golden age is absolutely nightmareish xD

[@ChrisBerryTN]

Huzzah for underrated civs!

[@UrsaRyan]

Huzzah!

[@drdumpenstein4868]

Mapuche is best able to use all of his abilities with the hardest difficulties. Deity and above is more likely to get golden ages and build more things for malon raiders to mercilessly pillage

[@UrsaRyan]

Yep! Sid Meier difficulty is even better!

[@ryaneylee]

Ursa, have you thought about Toa with the 10x more mod?

[@UrsaRyan]

Every day

[@Xaphe23]

I've always wanted to like Mapuche, but there's just something about his abilities that I just can't find the right cohesion to really make work.

[@UrsaRyan]

Hopefully this helps a bit!

[@Xaphe23]

​@@UrsaRyan Already is proving useful as I realize that I try too hard to incorporate it all. I wouldn't have declared the surprise war, and would have instead just let them settle so u could steal it and potentially use it with a governor. It's obviously a bad call composted to getting a better city placement, and delay may have resulted in a much tougher fight. But that's the type of mistake I always make trying too hard to use Mapuche's abilities without paying attention to over-all strategy. Watching the video really helped me identify that being the problem!

[@Venglish-j66]

Oh when i heard mash in the beginning, i thought 'reed lady blesses ya'

[@drjonritz]

Hey Ursa, you might want to write a book after Civ7 releases. "Something Something Stuff I learned From Sid" You already got the illustrations. It'd be a huge cult hit... Do it. Please.

[@UrsaRyan]

That could be fun!

[@talosisoursavior3061]

14:53 does this work on religious units? mapuche top tier religious victory civ????

[@UrsaRyan]

Yep! It does indeed stack!!

[@WolfTronix]

Malon Raider Cyber Warfare? 9:14 You might have a mod on. ;)

[@UrsaRyan]

Indeed, but I have no idea which one is doing it! Every civilolopedia entry has them, not just this one!! Super weird. It's UI only but odd

[@NikolaHoward]

Early bears assemble! Huzzah!

[@UrsaRyan]

Huzzah!

[@cybersaiyan9596]

i love it when he calls things "free", when they're obviously not free. lol

[@benabaxter]

Go for religious victory. (His bonuses apply to religious units!)

[@UrsaRyan]

They do indeed!

[@SourceOfBeing]

When is the "Never earning a pantheon" challenge?

[@qp5718]

Finally a normal video 🎉🎉, I don't really like the Livestream 😅, thanks ursa ❤

[@UrsaRyan]

We change it up here, bit of everything = ) Livestreams will have highlight VODs soon, so hold out for those

The best part?! You picked the civ that gives bonuses against Golden Age civilizations and still absolutely walked on Norway in a normal age. 😂. Imagine if he had went Golden.
