@@MordimersChessChannel really? I suppose I've only ever tested save scumming by reloading the same turn. I assumed it had a checksum at the start of the game when the map is generated. Otherwise they'd have to code it to randomly populate a list, then select each in turn. So to save scum on a video like this you'd need a unit hovering around close to the ruins and then keep coming up with excuses each turn for why you haven't gone into the ruins yet... Seems unlikely. 🤷
@@esmeecampbell7396 I assume that there is a list of village events generated, so every turn some villages across the map are being taken. But maybe there is other way to simulate the same effect. That was my logic in Civ series before and it works the same way in Civ 6. And to make it look natural, you just need to know what turn you have to come there, then make your optimal path for unit. That's the another level of save scum, enjoy your perfect start and perfect first couple of villages :D
Glad to see you back on some civ 😎 If you play Monopolies mode, I highly recommend you add the mod "Fix AI Corporations". It doesn't change anything gameplay related, but it does fix the AI not improving their luxuries until really late in the game ( once corporations are actually available ).
There is a thing i like to do on water maps like this one where in the really early game i only use 2 builder charges and then use the builder to look for goodie huts because they can embark at shipbuilding. i can usually get golden age in the first era by doing that.
I was playing Elizabeth trying for an Owls of Minerva game, got to turn 200, 30ish envoys sent, and ended up winning a science victory before I ever found the Owls. Sometimes you just get unlucky
Depending on the continent lay-out, this could be a huge hic-sun-draconis medieval era. I haven't seen you play around with that allot. ( also pretty thematic as England)
When you click on the icon that tells you you met someone on the bottom right it zooms into where it happened. Often a scout or galley moved into a tile and saw you then moved out and you didn’t notice on the turn rollover.
Thank god you played Liz next cause I’ve been wanting to play her on a coastal game but I didn’t have a direction I wanted to go! I see the vision now. Early naval dominance then a pivot to diplomacy
Something to note about Dark/Normal Age Monumentality- it's so much better than just +1 for the first time you construct a district for the first time. It actually runs as +1 era score whenever you complete a district. I've had it work for me and it's listed as that way on the wikis too
On a Naval map it is a no brainer. You'd be dumb not to go for it since it is a massive production boost for your empire when spamming ships which is key to dominate an islands map. Build one nuclear sub fleet and poof you already got the hammers it costs to build it back
I spot a +3 campus on Manchester. I think it'd be better making your turtle industry there. Btw the ability of Kristina of Sweden can be used on products in the monopolies game mode. It could be an interesting game to play.
Wow,trade agreements between England and city states are great!Wait,*gets civ 5 flashbacks*,”wOuLd yOu bE iNtErEsTEd iN a tRaDe AgReEmeNt wItH EnGlaND?”
Gold is by far the most broken yield in Civ 6. You can buy buildings, great people, units, tiles, luxuries, great works, diplo favor, etc. It just does so much.
Ive just played an insane Elizabeth game where i spawned with yosemite and kumasi within 6 tiles of my start, my gold income was INSANE the entire game so im looking forward to similar insanity this time around
Mehh not as crazy as my paititi mogadishu Portugal game. Especially on Naval maps like archipelago or islands nothing gets as crazy as the Portuguese trade routes, 3 city paititi gives you +4gpt per trade route in those cities and if you suzerain Mogadishu your sea routes can not be pillaged at all 10k gpt are numbers you can expect with this ridiculous civ if you also join owls of minerva
Elizabeth is definitely my favourite of the new leaders. She works great for every victory except religious. You can make unreal amounts of money, and since you want to trade with city states more than civs your economy is barely affected by war.
Great timing to be tilting for me. Last night I wanted to play a coastal game, set up an archipelago map, spawned on the same island and Ambiorix, and died in the first 40 turns. City got 1 shot before I could even hit esc Restart. New game, same setup, forget to change to Archipelago, playing Joao on Continents like a damn chump. Watch Potato enjoying a coastal game just like I wanted😢
I think it’s so easy to forget that farm on wheat or maze will trigger eureka for irrigation, which means 1 era score for free inquiry normal/dark age.
haven't you thought about getting the comercial religion? the one that gives you more gold x holy site and holy site building on your trade routes from that city? and also, as gettin owls of minerva you will be giving envoys to every city state you send a trade route to, and with the belief that spreads your religion everytime you send an envoy you will further spread your religion. Idk it's a fun build i did in one of my games🤷♂️ (i'm sorry for my english, in case i had any mistake)
@@blaubeer8039 i mean yeah, but with all the gold you'll be getting anyways, and taking advantege of the power ups of england for industrial zones you can get your hands on the great engineer that allows your city ti build more districts in that city, abd you can imorove it more by building the halacarnassus so you can use 1 more charge on him
Potato, are your comments about God of the Sea and loving Coastal Cities sarcasm? In previous games, it always seems like you dislike coastal cities.. but maybe I am remembering wrong?
Ah Civilization... the only game series where, with your help, humanity can circumnavigate the globe 600 years before people started arguing that the world was spherical.
Hey ! I got a question, i often see you try to delay your era score if you already secure a golden age. Can you explain why ? I though it didn't matter if you have too much of it because it will be useful for the next era. Thank you ;)
Hi there. Thanks for your excellent videos. In one of them you mentioned the housing multiplier, that can be seen at the city screen. I cannot find that particular video anymore, so could you explain that again. I cannot find an answer by googling. In my cities it is usually 1 (one), but would be nice to know how to increase it to 2 (two)? Thx
Queen Elizabeth the first having an ability called "Drake's Legacy" has to be a joke. While Lord High Admiral Charles Howard and Sir Francis Drake were saving England from the Spanish Armada, Elizabeth was refusing them rations and gun powder. Then when the Armada was defeated, she road out to heap praise on Dudley, who never even went to sea. The Royal Navy saved England in spite of the monarch, who genuinely appeared to be trying her hardest to lose the war.
I think to 1) be able to sell his own to other players, for diplomatic reasons, and/or 2) have enough to give his cities a production bonus (you can see their happiness status from a mod at the top - looks like 3-0-0-0)
Can you do one of those challenges that you see other Civ players do? You know, the ones where they start on a one tile island surrounded by volcanoes and give the ai 35 giant death robots to start with, yet still claim to win a domination victory by building frigate fleets (:
Potato. I had a challenge for you and Spiff. But as I was typing this, I decided to look up if someone else had done it. Bugger. But. It might be fun/annoying for you two. Barb Camp on Every Tile.

Have you played or consider playing on marathon speed? I started trying it out and if im honest, i really enjoy the long form playing. You kinda get more invested in your placement and some govt cards that really never made much impact suddenly look really good.

Naval domination sounds so appealing though, with all that production...
I'm so glad that auto explore is a thing

I'm not sure if it works with barb clans on but i think you could've bought the tile with the barb outpost to prevent canada from yoinking it no ?
Just a small add that shift+right mouse click also removes pins, which to me felt more intuitive.
