You should play with the nine difficulty levels mod. Its description is "Few will know how to beat this difficulty, perhaps none." I want to see if you could beat it with chat's help. I have beaten it with overpowered modded strategies, but never legitimately. You are a lot better at the game than me tho, so we'll see.
In the early game when you are way behind the ai in tech it's better to send your trade routes to them instead of your own cities. You get gold and good science boost for example turn 53 cargo ship to Utrecht gains 5gpt and 5 science per turn!! If you use multiple cargo ships early you could get 15+ science per turn
Hi - thanks for the suggestion! That has been brought to my attention before I am curious about it, but I prefer to keep my game closer to stock as that's what most people will understand That said, as the channel ages, I'll need new variety, and Vox Populi or another mod will definitely be considered, thanks again for the suggestion
Haha yes - it *almost* came home... I must say though, I thought Italy were 100% the better side outside of the first 15 minutes, and this was still a young England team You can't be too disappointed when you lose to the best team in the tournament. I think it's a LOT worse when you're the favourite, played the best, and still lose!
@@markmorris7123 Yes I'm really optimistic. Continuous improvement since last world cup, a manager who does seem to know how to get the best of an international squad, and most starters before their prime rather than in it Fingers crossed!
@@markmorris7123 Glad you like that I am! Me too, it was the graphics for me. I don't have an unbiased opinion as I have never played the game, but the graphics and the stories of "too much pointless micromanagement" put me off
Fun fact, you don't actually have to control all AI capitals to win a domination game. All you need to do is make sure no AI holds its original capital. So if Persia captured Moson Kahni from you for example than they'd still not have their own capital which means it wouldn't have stopped your domination victory. Basically you wasted too many turns defending cities you didn't need to defend, same goes for your own cities too in the case of the Dutch, as once you had all your military up you could easily afford to lose your non cap cities and still win. Also, you should have gotten a harbor in It's Coming Home and your 2 island cities much sooner as that would have established road connections there way sooner than you did. Also I'm pretty sure you could have sent cargo ships from It's Coming Home to both those cities, didn't seem particularly far as to not be in naval range, but not 100% sure about that.
Hi! I use the following mods.

You're very correct, I do lose a lot of gold doing it that way I usually expect the AI to get a lux online quicker than they did, however From a technical standpoint, I do this to guarantee I have a trade. Holding a duplicate luxury ensures I can trade 1 for 1 later on Selling a lux is usually 7 GPT (sometimes 8) and buying a lux is usually 9 GPT (sometimes 8) I choose to hold on to the lux to simplify my deals for later, and avoid a situation where I'm at 8 GPT and can't afford to buy the lux I need because I've spent the gold elsewhere I could make it super efficient, but to save thinking time I just hold my luxes, knowing that at least I save that 2 GPT difference to make up for my inefficiency
New drinking game: take a shot every time J Law says, “perfect.”
xD I need to stop before I become a meme lol
Perfect
@@MajorMasonGaming Looool. About 100 times a video. We all ought to tease him about it more and give time stamps 🤣
hahaha that sigh of relief when chat saved you from demolishing the truffles.
Haha yep! Those things are easy to forget when you don't play Indonesia very often!

Hmm interesting concept - thanks! Could be cool to try for a bit of variety!
Bump^^
Why didn't you build the porcelain tower asap? I thought it's always nice to have?

You should really try out Vox Populi

@@PCJLaw That's understandable. I also played Civ 5 unmodded for maybe two thousand hours before getting into VP. It really is a treat.
@@playrasputin3457 Yeah for sure, I saw Marbozir played it quite a bit. Would definitely agree it expands the game when base BNW gets stale!
Knocked out on pens.. But to Italy. At least we got to final though
Haha yes - it *almost* came home...

@@PCJLaw completely agree. Italy were far better and deserved to win. Bring on the world Cup next year!! Our young lions will be a little older

@@PCJLaw on a gaming note,, love that your playing civ 5.. I can't really get into civ 6.

This is only true for original Civ 5.

@@PCJLaw Thank you very much!!1 Your channel is awesome, hope your channel "population" grow every day and get more and more happiness ))
Dude, the amount of gold you lost because you were waiting for AI to provide luxuries is insane. You should always sell it, specially at the begining
You're very correct, I do lose a lot of gold doing it that way
I usually expect the AI to get a lux online quicker than they did, however
From a technical standpoint, I do this to guarantee I have a trade. Holding a duplicate luxury ensures I can trade 1 for 1 later on
Selling a lux is usually 7 GPT (sometimes 8) and buying a lux is usually 9 GPT (sometimes 8)
I choose to hold on to the lux to simplify my deals for later, and avoid a situation where I'm at 8 GPT and can't afford to buy the lux I need because I've spent the gold elsewhere
I could make it super efficient, but to save thinking time I just hold my luxes, knowing that at least I save that 2 GPT difference to make up for my inefficiency
Probably should have spread your religion sooner lol. It solves both the happiness and gold problem through Candi happiness and tithe
AJ for undisputed
Anthony Joshua? :P
I forget if I referenced anything to do with an "AJ" on stream
