If only the playmaker were still in the tournament, his Aztec strats are legendary

[@mabeSc]

Laith is looking like Gaddafi

[@kyleadelaide]

He's really leaning into his North African heritage

[@AbsalonCF]

Really looking fine af

[@dickyadhadyanto4986]

gaddafi maxxing

[@TheMightofDab]

That reveal at the end was great. I had a feeling I knew what Laith was doing but he kept it up jusssssst long enough for me to flip to believing him

[@cuddlesandkafka]

I heard and recognized that line, "failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." I love that the Student dropped a spurious Winston Churchill quote for his intro, because it's such a good line but still so funny that Churchill never said it, according to the International Churchill Society, yet it's attributed to him.

Redhawk being a war hawk even though he skips wars on his content 😆

[@christianwhite8877]

While it's not really practical for the challenge (do to the time limit and the limited number of gold provinces), an idea group or national ideas that give goods produced would increase the amount of money produced from gold (economic would also be valuable for the lowered gold depletion chance)

[@tictac9229]

Woo excited to see this new episode guys 😄

[@SharpNomo]

Is the Lubeck capital switch to Dalaskogen and using their mission to get gold in the capital getting the +9 goods produced monument on gold income still a thing? Probably a tall order in the time limit and still not as good as Aztecs but would definitely be a funny one

[@kyleadelaide]

That was the first thing I thought of

[@chrisedmondson432]

Can you do that in an hour

[@fabianwartenberg8806]

shouldn't mutapa (zimbabwe) or kilwa be insane? Or even Ethiopia with the modifiers on kaffa and damot

[@scorpioneldar]

interesting. I would have gone for Kilwa. it starts with or near lots of gold and it can conquor all of it in the very early game. from there. speed 5 to get expansion and then expand into the cape for more gold.

[@wtf_Sha_HDa]

We need to see paradox sponsor a content like this

[@colin3393]

Oof... that student debt to the Government comment man... hit hard

[@Thelius42]

I was wondering if they had fixed the classic Aztec animist flip exploit with the new patch

[@SereglothIV]

I never considered switching religions to be an exploit. If Paradox didn't want you to do it, then why would they put zoroastrian or jewish provinces in the game, with no nations having these religions at the start, but both religions having their own mechanics?

[@Thelius42]

@@SereglothIV Its the way you do it. 100% an enemy and forcing them to convert you. Its also an old bug/feature that animist isnt a "native" religion so allows you to dev institutions before meeting the colonizers

[@scorpioneldar]

@@SereglothIV switching religions itself isn't the exploit. it is the manner of swap and the fact that it lets you skip being a native.

Laith doing the Blofeld thing

[@HurricaneNova]

Damn quarbit really forgetful huh

[@Thesupermrluc]

Great vid

[@electricVGC]

Quarbit still getting punked by natives

[@notlucas6859]

WHERE IS DRAGOON

[@Ratatui17]

kilwa

[@WAYTOKRAZY23]

almost like the last second swap was intentional and you are slow... hmmm

[@azpont7275]

Switching religions is quite far from "exploits" ngl

[@derekskelton4187]

It's how he switched religions that is the exploit. He didn't convert, he intentionally lost a war to be converted. This is an exploit, and not at all intended

[@azpont7275]

@@derekskelton4187 You can convert to animist normally, you just need 10% rebel progress if you are nahuatl.
Also, losing wars is still not an exploit. It's the fastest way to change rivals fe.

[@derekskelton4187]

@@azpont7275 If you need 100% warscore in order to accept a surrender there is clearly something wrong going on in the code. His strat is an exploit that helped his time. If he did things the normal way it would have worked differently
