Excellent game! I wouldn't have made it a third of the way.

Glad Henrik has better mic these days!

I feel that the barbarian units should be enemies to one another in addition to the major civ's, particularly the player.

Good game, not easy the barbs, not easy to deal with mega Brennus. The only good thing is that Brennus was in his own religion the whole game and no other AI liked organized religion.

I was wondering if it would be worth buying Civ IV on steam? Not sure if it would run on my laptop and I miss playing the game.

I found out that demolisher works great against ash chikens

i really enjoy your builds, they are awesome

Yes, please do a blind playthrough of Civ 7. Watching playthroughs of 5 and 6 never got me into those, as opposed to 4. If you do 7, I hope to get into that.

Merry Christmas! And drink every time Henrik says "bastard"!

Do you play CIV from the CD or Steam? What operating systems are the CDs compatible up to? Thanks

Those northern furs certainly paid off big time in trades!

I've just tried playing a mirror game alongside (Monarch, barbs, huts) and trying to match every build and tech if not every move cos barbs will be different and damn you still somehow got your second and third cities settled a turn faster and finished the Mids a turn earlier even though I started on the same turn. I abandoned a chariot to the queue along with a warrior I abandoned building just to start the chariot! Techs being cheaper for me I'm ahead on tech but heck I'm sure you were teching 16bpt at 100% around turn 61 when I cold only get 14bpt! I couldn't see any difference in the tiles being worked. Looking forward to your super early optics and astro (no pressure)

looking forward to this since I read your report on CF. I played this map a lot as I really wanted to practice this kind of start and hadn't rolled one in many attempts, first go I sent the scout to the Ghill on the left saw there was no seafood right in at the coast and moved the settler onto the plains hill on the left. I thought the scout could check for fish the next turn before settling. Great for commerce but not so good for health with all them flood plains. Production was also disappointing. Next play I the scout did the same move but I settled on the plains hill 1 east of the piggies. Of course this wasn't blind but I could think of a couple good reasons to try this blind.- there's at least 6 chops in the BFC and river grass is still good for cottages etc even if not as good as FPs. Since sea is west this would claim more land too. I suppose a turn 3 settle back in SIP if once moved wouldn't be so awful at my level (monarchy) if the move turned out to be completely dud but deity players may disagree. Anyway I got to a position I thought I could win in 1300 turn 193 and stopped there. It'll be interesting to see how a real gamer does it. You'll probably have won by then 🤣

Good list. Small nit pick but i would personally put iron mace in a tier. Its cheap, good in both the mountains and swamp and completely claps bonemass. Its good in all aspects which makes it excellent overall.

What is that "Items Stacked' message? At about 2:30

can u upload a short vid showing us how to get ur civ IV build version & how to play forum mods/maps?

Loved this series! Would you consider a fun 'monarch' campaign as 'Europa', the hardest civ, in the Next War scenario? I really like playing it myself but am not the best at winning...

I'm surprised you didn't rush out a warrior first thing. Even if you don't need them for early fog-busting, a little extra exploration for goody-huts could go a long way. Of course I never played on Deity level, so what do I know.

that's my bro! Henrik ma friend! ♥

I love isolation, thanks for playing it again.

Not bad for an island start. Hope you can start getting those ships out to see soon.

Playing whack-a-mole against barbarian archers with your warriors is the best/worst thing about Civ 4. Why self tech archery when you could just lose a few 50/50 fights and then exit to desktop?

the stone city was actually big brain. the minute u mentioned it im like dude come on surely ur gonna settle that city 2s and get a banger city for the mid and lategame but u did prove me wrong real hard with that count of what it had already done for ur empire in 25 turns. insane. i woulda just settled the old fashioned spot and let go of the mids.

Maybe I just missed something but why is that original scout just sitting instead of scouting for all those early turns?

Canceling religion to please Zara when he's already on your borders is IQ 800 move.

Thanks, as always, Henrik for the entertainment. Merry Christmas to all. I keep waiting for the day you give the barbs not just their starting techs, but also some crazy advanced tech. Aliens came down and gave the barbs tanks, or something. :)

So glad you're doing it again. Deity any time!

Some nice early war and conquest!

is civ 4 best in terms of gameplay compared to other civs?

GG!

If you would start with a 9-turn worker, wouldn't you gain back lost time by that worker being able to route towards the enemy and chop a forest or two? Also, unrelated, I've noticed that the Granary doesn't work at all at size=1. Whip a granary at size 2, next turn complete Granary, next turn grow and my food depletes as if I didn't have that granary since last turn. I've tried it various times and always the same. Bug or feature?

43:50 - don't you finish mine 1 turn faster if you do it directly? Say cutting forest takes 2 turns and building farm takes 4 turns, but building farm on forest will take 5 turns. I think same is true for jungle, so there's no reason to cut jungle in that situation

You probably already know this but you can wipe the map marks by hitting the same keys to create a mark but then clicking a tile that already has a mark to remove it. It always surprises me when you don't wipe away marks on city placements for instance.

What a brutal series of wars. NGL, I tend to give up in lategame civ 4 (or used to when I still played) because shuffling the units around all over the place is just too much of a PITA. Great work, man.

Stunning! Such Christmas vibes, I love how you decorated the full sized pine tree

awesome game!

40:01 - sells world map for 5 gold, then tells him "your head would look good on a pole"

Willem has the best city placement in the game. It isn't just because of Creative trait. The Dike itself helps with city placement, because you can place your cities on the coast and still get hammers from the river tiles within the radius even if you aren't adjacent to the river. Normally you need to choose to never get a Levee in such a scenario (or choose to settle adjacent to the river, but never benefit from sea access, harbor lighthouse etc). So the Dike is not only better than a Levee in that it gives a Moai Statues effect, but it also improves your city placement options by eliminating a tradeoff.

brennus, born to be a space explorer, forced to be a warmonger. tragic.

Friend, your strategy and tactics are absolutely impressive! I've tried the same approach on Immortal (highest level for me), and it works really well. I've learned a lot from your play. May I ask something? What win rate do you have on Deity? Why did you say that Brennus loses the space race when you take his capital? And how do you suffer from unhappiness so much? Is it because of emancipation and resource shortage? Because war weariness shouldn't be an issue with police state. Did you think about taking free religion a spreading it?

Super cool game. Loved seeing the modern warfare. How different do you think that game would have been connected to the main continent?

Excellent game! Let's hear it for persistence. Yikes.

wow, great game! enemy launching space ship just as you score Dom victory was the cherry on top :)

Can you imagine this big war against Pacal/ Monty or Shaka? Would it be even more difficult than with Brennus? . Amazing game!!

If there was a civ 4 e sports league you’d be MVP! Any ideas for the next game?

Wow what a slog, well done for persevering through that war!!

Huge fun to watch Henrik, there was a good 30-40 turns just before / at the outset of the war where it felt like everything was on an absolute knife edge! Hugely well deserved victory, thanks for the great content! 👍👍

Really well played. Great game! That road/railroad pillage was really clutch! Nice use of airports. I chuckled when you said "You don't have an airport so you can build planes" 🙂Made sense but sounded funny. I wonder what would have happened if Brennus had managed to win the UN vote at some point.

At what point do you think it's better to nuke their stack rather than grind it down?

What a great game, nice seeing you embrace the late game war from time to time. Almost perfect use of your planes (in the first turnes you forgot to leave a few on intercept and the bombers pounded you) , air lifts and naval warfare. This is exactly what I would have done, raze the first coastal cities and choose the one city to keep that has sth like a chokepoint (mountain in this case) where you only need to clip 1-2 streets. Then the stack is in the open and you can finish it. Perfectly executed! I would like to see another "normal" game on the map script fantasy realm with those weird tile yields, I enjoyed your other game back then! Other than that it would still be nice to see mixed leaders (to maximize civ+leader bonus) or mixed traits (i.e. ghandi with shaka mentality). Just some low key inspiration for you. I absolutely enjoy all of your games! 😊
