potato can you do an all tribal village map as babylon?

I see why God destroyed Babylon in the Ancient Era.
but at the same time, the era of God also ended with it.

My random fun story from the first Babylon try: I finished an industrial wonder, unlocked flight in like 100 A.D.... and then I was like "Oh, that is a nice Island to the West, I should settle there..." just to find out, that my Units where like "Going on Water? Are you crazy? That's dangerous!"
That feeling when you can fly but have no idea what a boat is
😂
I think Potato must be playing Babylon irl, he got the Eureka for the New Frontier Pass and got to Babylon before anyone else, smh 😤 I kid, this seems dope
Do you think of Babylon as a science or domination civ?
@@zacharymangoba3128 ... yes
Zachary Mangoba definitely domination. Late game techs take wayyy too long without boosts. It’d take your forever to get exoplanet expedition.
In fact I think with Babylon you probably want to not even bother investing much in Campuses and invest more in culture where you don’t have a penalty as it allows you to get a lot of science boosts.
@@eyeborg3148 Do you think it's possible to play them as a fully cultural civ? Bonus shrine/ampitheatre can help with early important great people, and the ability to get good mid/late game techs without huge investment supports culture nicely. Free computers when you've got your t3 gov't could be powerful, as an example.
@@eyeborg3148 ... just capture cities that already have them built. If you own half the world, the 50% reduction in science isn't as painful :P

3:40 "peacefull game"
read title : "bombard rush"
why do i feel something is wrong here
How to have world peace. Step 1) Destroy all enemies. Step 2) Peace.
"The only way to have absolute peace is to wipe out all oppositions."
Peace through superior firepower.
As Bender said "The world must learn of our peacuful ways ... By Force!"
Called peace enforcement!
Imagine getting paid to do something you’d already love to do for free. That’s the dream taters.
Imagine getting paid for something you got for free and also be able to make a video content and get paid also from YT...
*stonks*
The danger is that it can stop being fun and ruin what was once a hobby for you 😢
"it feels like im playing the game, but im like 50 turns ahead of everyone" Isn't that how it always is in these videos?
When the world needed him most.. Potato returns 😄
Whether you need Civ exploits or potassium, Potato is there for you.
I've missed my daily dose of Potato.
But sadly after 1 hour he vanished😂
Yeah but in a serious note he is so wholesome since he teaches and replies or comments in videos that does bad stuff to pets, more specifically bunnies and he commented in a video, “Bunny Shower”
Oh please try the "tribal villages everywhere" thingy with Babylon, it's gonna be stupidly OP
This
YES!!!
Only thing is I don’t think tribal villages can give tech boosts past the current era.
@@eyeborg3148 they gave the entire tech tree to potato before classical age I think
Oh no...
"sun wukong is just pillaging gold behind the lines" that is LITTERALY what his character from the story would do, it is WORRYINGLY fitting
Friendship ended with Hercules. Now Sindbad is Potatoes best friend!
Edit: nevermind xD
This is going to be a lot of fun. It basically makes the tech tree a fun puzzle.
Scientifically speaking, Babylon seems to be balanced, actually. The people who claimed this was a strong domination civ were right.
He's an absurdly powerful domination civ early and midgame, but if you lose momentum you can fall behind, and if you fall behind you'll never make the ground up because of his science penalty.
this game is great early game and midgame kinda but its fragile cause if someone doesn't leave you alone you wont ever be able to get the tech boosts you need
Spies will be able to steal full techs, which could serve as a bit of a comeback mechanism.
@@jothki spies with the card from nuclear program civic means spies steal 2 tech boosts every time too
@@KaizerKlash111 Yeah for that reason Babylon is definitely a domination civ because you can't steal tech boosts from allies so you don't want alliances.
Potato: I'm pillaging everything, so my economy is pretty much based entirely on being at war
USA: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
just the idea of Hercules building a space port is already worth this video! i imagine he would be more of a guy that just pick up the port and launch it in orbit using his hands
Babylon is a Civ that really rewards knowing the game but punishes you very harshly if you don't.
So real life babylon
I mean if you can read the names of eurekas that’s really all you need to win with Babylon
@@vahagnyengibaryan4253 Wait I don’t know how to read D:
not really its simple if youre in settler just rush whatever is available then start killing everyone
@@vahagnyengibaryan4253 timing is important with eurekas. You can research too fast and have a eureka unfinishable because you can’t make the unit. Or you might forget to make forts and all the sudden your military engineer can only make airstrips. So it’s a little more than just reading what the eureka is.
The Civ's added later on in the game tend to be extremely OP. You've shown it with Babylon, but there's also the Gauls, Ethiopia, and don't even get me started on Gran Colombia.
Civ V was like that, too. Brazil's tourism output doubled during golden ages, Indonesia had magic swordsmen, and Venice was, well, a beast.
Alternate Titles:
-Potato man commits war crimes that haven't been invented yet.
-Irish lad destroys the fabric of reality.
-Whiskey lover, loves to ruin careers.
"commits war crimes that haven't been invented yet" is my new favourite phrase
Canadians be like @@theasianthatsbetterthanyou8324
Just so you know. The hero Xbalanque’s name is pronounced like “Shi-bal-ahn-kay”
Yes, mayan x is the equivalent of english s
"I also did something a little bit sneaky and basically teleported some artillery up into Krakow"
Hey, I've seen this one before!
I thought Potato sounded sad today and was confused because this sponsorship is awesome (congratulations) but then I realised he sounds the same, I'm just watching on 1x instead of 1.25x 😅
Paying Potato to play Civ6 is like paying me to drink beer.
Dad?
for me, it'll be like paying me to laze around all day.
23:09 That's another side-effect from having a civ in the game that techs like an absolute madman. Barbarians scale off it aswell.
Potato: this is going to be a relatively peaceful game
Also potato: proceeds to win domination victory
If you’re still not in awe over how fast he accelerated scientifically he had drones at turn 216
The thing about pillaging as Babylon is that the -50% science penalty applies on the city level, so pillaging as Babylon is super important if you're struggling with science. So getting the raid policy can also help a great deal!
What do you call an angry archer?
A crossbowman
*ba-dum-tss*
i dont get it
@@yooo1940 a crossbowman is the unit but it also can be read as a cross as in angry bowman
You just made me uncontrollably sneeze...
Entirely out of proportion to the funniness of the joke.
Congrats.
The funniest part is that generaly you'd be strugling with barbs due to the AI beeing tecnologicaly moreadvanced, but this time was totally the opposite. Poor Scithya
As soon as I saw their abilities I knew this civ was gonna be bonkers to good players
Fun fact: You can buy the heroic relics from other player's dead heroes, effectively reducing their culture, faith, and tourism production and increasing your own. I don't know what it does to their ability to resurrect the heroes, but you can't recruit theirs regardless. Still, if your goal is to do a tourism win, it is well worth it.
Yes, Babylon with Hercules is overpowered but...
Where’s the Venetian Arsenal?
Deja vu
Oh good god a scientific victory with Maui this sounds like a Disney movie
Disney does Polynesian Maui justice, but not the narrastic, selfish prankster that is Maori Maui. Thus Disney did Maui bad and shouldn't have touched him.
@@PandoraKin564 Aren't Maori also Polynesian?
@@principetnomusic Yes but are fairly divergent and have 600 years of isolation from other Polynesian civilizations.
I'm calling Spiffing Brit on you for impersonating his Todd Howard impersonation
Dlc comes out:I'm still waiting
Pack installed: Still not there
Ten mins later:Bruh
yeah i installed it but it wont show up any ideas on how to get it to work
I have this issue as well and don’t lnow how to fix it :(
@@wilmer9777 yeah I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and restarting my of i don’t know what else to do
Restart your Steam/Epic Games Launcher and disable any Civ based mods like Civilization Expanded and any other mods you can go without
You have to manually update the game. I had the same problem.
NOOO YOU CANT RUSH ME SUPER EARLY!!!
Babylon: haha wall go boom
Potatoes impression of the spiffing Brit is the best thing I’ve ever heard and I’ve just realized I need a collab.
I'm learning to hate all references to that guy.
Babylon is the first civilization to reach the Industrial Era(15:37) BEFORE reaching the Renaissance(16:21)
So imagine Korea being in the game with thier agenda of science. All the great people boosts you'd get from great library would be crazy. Also the way they played out it seems like they are in practice a domination civ due to late game fizzle due to lack of practical boosts.
Actually befriending Korea is kind of a problem. Because of your commonly low science score they seem to hate you pretty much and even if they like you, they‘re not very likely to make friendship with you.
@@maxjahns9063 Oh I am not even saying to befriend them. But Korea does tend to run away with science and because of that they tend to get lots of great scientists. You grab the great library and it'd be an amazing way to keep up
I really love your videos! Even though I only have the base game and don't play a lot, it's fun to see you try these tactics and your thoughtful gameplay, has made me a better player, just by watching.
Just went back and watched on of your earlier series and the improvement in quality is night and day. You’ve come a long way in editing and commentary to make more interesting videos!
I love the full game in an hour. Been doing killer with the vids man!
1160 BC: Hammurabi invented Rifling.
That is absolutely nuts! Good video.
I like the hour long (or less) videos to watch on my lunch break.
Thank you, Potato!
FINALLY! I’ve been waiting all week for this
I love how enthusiatic you are. Your knowledge and thoughtful game narration is very enjoyable to watch. I have become a really big fan, as I play CIV as well. I'm not amaxing at the game but I have learned alot from you.
I fell for the Spiffing Brit title again, it gets me every time
Yorkshire Tea slurping intensifies with intensity.
Has anyone actually seen Potato and Spiff in the same place together??? What if they are one and the same???
I think Krakow is pronounced craw know
Wrong spot
I'm so glad you got to do a video on this early, I tried watching the dev livestream but could only make it through 5 minutes because they don't have quick movement and quick battles on lol
Potato, I think you may have missed the Great Library because you didn't fully understand it's power as Babylon - it gives you not only a free tech for each great scientist other civs recruit but it also gives you the Eureka for ALL TECHS in the Ancient and Classical Eras. And all you need to boost Recorded History is two campuses.
Babylon needs to rush Recorded History. You could have definitely gotten Great Library if you rushed it harder, and I think you should have rushed it harder.
That’s definitely not the power of the Great Library for Babylon.
By the time you need to build it, you basically have all the ancient and classic techs.
I also had this misconception until I first played Babylon.
Its not like boosting civics gives you the civic.
@@jakalder oh yeah...oops
Simultaneously having 12 science per turn AND 2+ bombards on turn 110. Feelsweirdman
I’m imagining Hercules in glasses and a lab coat, hammering away at a massive spaceport all by himself.
You can always check the map type mid-game from the game menu, at the bottom. Game speed too, and others. Thanks for the awesome vids. We all love you very much too.
I can tell when Potato gets excited; he sounds more Irish. Lovely accent
Another firaxis sponsored video?
Paidtato McWhiskey in the house!
Found your channel after that vid with u and Spiffing Brit playing Civ 6. Watching your playthrough really helps me with Civ 6.
Wasn't hoping for your video to be today but I'm really glad it is.
Watching this video and seeing potato get bombards so early the war with scythia was like a colonial conflict
The fact you don't even need the prerequisite techs for your eurekas is hilarious and I love it, Hammurabi doesn't play by your rules! HE MAKES THE RULES.
I will watch every second of this multiple times thank you potato
Thank you for this wonderful edited video thats encapsulates the pluses and minuses of Babylon in a succinct hour
Boil em, mash em. Stick em in a stew !!
Oh wow, the palgum is SO much better than I though. When I saw +1 food on ever fresh water tile, I though that mean lakes get +1 food and that's it.
Great content, thanks for the preview!
Thanks for the upload!
I like to think Babylon's tech discovery goes something like this:
"Hey, Chezzak?"
"Yeah?"
"What if... Stick Launcher!"
*You have discovered Archery*
Excited to play as Babylon!
By the way, my channel is dedicated to piano arrangements of civ music!
3:36 "This is gonna be a kind of peaceful game" - PotatoMcWhiskey 20/11/2020 on the early stages of a game he won by Domination.
Yeah... kind of...
That was a fast hour. Time flies when I play CIV 6 and I guess it’s just as fast watching game play. Thanks for sharing
How will YOU play Babylon?
-Will you enlighten the world with science??
-Or will you darken it with tyranny??
WE SHALL BRING THE WORLD INTO THE LIGHT BY SHOWING THEM THE TRUE MEANING OF HAMMURABI'S CODE!
Spies and the Great Library would have made the late-game techs a bit easier, imo.
spies don't work when you're are far ahead
@@theexaminer4906 But they will allow babylon to keep up and not fall behind.
@@jakalder Spies wind up being almost worthless, save for the ability to restock the treasury every few turns. Babylon gets so far ahead on the tech, that there simply aren't any techs to steal from other civs. Every once in a great while one might pop up, but it is likely one Babylon could still get to first if it actually wanted it.
Hey potato! Just wanted to thank you for your amazing videos! With your tips, i was finally able to win my first civ victories! (also i got a 170 production city with babylon) :)
Me waiting for Potato to notice how broken the Maui hero is when you have the Temple of Artemis...
babilon is essencially the math girl confusion meme on steroids
Potato explains how to rush bombards
Potato says I don't know what I'm gonna do this game
Me, look at the title and heard the explanation
Me, Yeah sure "you don't know"
Lmao
Wow, this was so much fun to watch :)
Thanks PotatoMcWhiskey, you made my life better, your accent/speaking impairment actually made me look for a speaking coach
Fun Fact: Sun Wukong is the chinese legendary hero that inspired Akira Toriyama to create Son Goku (Dragon Ball). So, basically you have a Super Sayan in your army! :-)
Funny, how you were able to enter the industrial era before entering the renaissance era
THANK YOU 4 UPLOADING
great vid worth the wait
This civ is insane. Even crazier gameplay on tech shuffle. I have 2 different classical era techs on turn 12. I have 3 science..lol

Will try to maintain a large Army and try to keep Religions from other Civilizations away from his empire.

Defeated: You may have broken our armies, but it will be harder to break the will of the Bohemian people.
Really nice but the +25% production when at war is a little overpowered
I'm sorry I don't see a Bohemian Rhapsody reference here
@@yougodk6181 It could make sense, considering the newest Civilizations can just obliterate the opposition in the game. But thanks for the compliment :)
Do you have a place where all these civ ideas are listed? Like a Civ Fanatics forum?

Potato: A space race against my domination victory
With all the different tech paths potato talked about I think Babylon is the most exciting civ I've seen
Maui could be so good when playing with aztec, so you can maybe get some extra luxury for your bonus damage
Potato, you know the rules... And so do I.
BUILD A VENETIAN ARSENAL!!!
An Arsenal is what I’m thinking of, you wouldn’t get this while playing any other civ.
I just want to tell you what wonder I’m building...

The video just came out. But the title sounds amazing
Crap, forgot this was today and now I'm stuck at work.
@PotatoMcWhiskey would just like to say thank you for these videos. I decided to give Civ 6 a try again after a long hiatus. I found your channel and it has helped me immensely. Like, where to build your cities, how to plan your districts and so much more. Keep up the amazing videos.
P.S. if you don't mind me asking. Where are you originally from as you pronunciate your Rs in a different way. And I can't place it.
Cheers

@@PotatoMcWhiskey that's what I was thinking but wanted to be sure. Thanks for the reply and heart on my comment. Cheers and take care.
PS I played a game as Norway on an islands map like you did in an older vid and absolutely loved it.
I found in my Babylon play that a big "to do" is to get as much income as possible so that you can afford to upgrade your units through the massive tech jumps. Also getting the vampire units in secret societies is super strong because you can suddenly get multiple uber-powerful units just by getting a eureka and upgrading one unit. Bombard rush is handy, but so is pike and shot rush.
Potato if you’re having a hard time pronouncing Xbalanque and Hunahpu you can call them the “Mayan Hero twins” or just the “Hero Twins” since that’s the more common name
You pronounce them: “Hunapu” and “Ikzbalankee”
Also, Maui seems good for lake/coastal tiles.
I personally love rushing early industrial zones with harbors/commercial hubs. The gold and production combo while you play the multi headed strategy to get through tech tree early game makes them super powerful if you can Sim city long enough
This is literally my favorite intro on youtube now.
Lmao Guayaquil is one of the cities i've lived in here in Ecuador. It's pronounced gua-(as in guacamole) ya(as in told ya) - quil (as in kill)

After seeing this and a few of your other domination victories (Basil comes to mind) I’m convinced that need to make t-shirts that say “Look at that ... it’s just gone!”
