They were going straight to the capital because when the AI decided to attack, the other cities weren't founded yet. I've been noticing the AI decision making is pretty set in stone once it wants to do something. Same reason you can delay or prevent an attack if the majority of the hexes they want to start a war from are already occupied. Also I too noticed the aggression level from the AI has increased since the last patch, same with barbs. Rather annoying but meh. It is what it is.

Well I wouldn't know this because I'm guessing the new patch has rendered me playing on my PC to nothingness. Every time I turn it on now, it crashes. So I've been playing on Xbox and working my way back up in difficulty because it appears the Xbox AI has a bigger boost and seem to be better in every way
After watching you play on Diety, I've been able to move up from playing Warlord. Now I can play Prince and King if I got my game face on. I've never played on such a high difficulty in any Civ game before. Thanks for the tips man. Spuddy out.
Hey Potato! Nice to see you in my YT feed again! Hope all’s well! Got my first ever DEITY victory using Japan and nukes (I had to destroy France who was 10 turns away from Culture V!) Anyway, hope to catch a stream soon!
There's actually a kinda crazy industrial zone next to Shizuoka here. If my math is correct it's +2 from resources, +2 from the aqueduct, +1 from mines, +2 from planned districts and has another tile you could put a district in for +1. That means it's a total of a potential +8 without any real city planning, which is nice as hell.
@@PotatoMcWhiskey What's the top right corner mod called? The one which is showing how much gold, science and, culture you and the other civs are getting.
So I had a game where I found that natutal wonder in the midgame as Inca, and since Hungary was too scared to settle tundra I colonized that spot for a coal mine on an adjacent tile plus 5 terrace farms. I had a 10 food tile, an 8 production tile and all the reat had 6-8 food and 3-5 production. That city outgrew my capitol in like 20 turns. It is the single most op wonder in existence.
Love your content, I enjoy playing Civ6 with listening/watching you in the background. It's relaxing but I'm also learning stuff at the same time. Still not beat a game on Deity yet, wish me luck lol.
Great to see you're back. If not for that wonder, that would have been the shittiest land I've ever seen. Tundra-deserts with next to no production are usually an instant reroll for me, although it might make an interesting game. Edit: pivot to domination
Yeah a new one, i can only rewatch so much.... You've helped me a lot. Played my first deity game as the Inca, and won a culture victory... I enjoy the game again. thanks. Do you have a video with your keyboard shortcuts?
I'm amazed when I see you settle on the wheat like that. I'd agonise over that kind of decision for hours if it were me. I'm not saying it was wrong - You're a much better player than me! - But being able to think so far ahead and talk about districts amazes me!
I checked 5 times to see if UA-cam had unsubscribed me. Glad to see you back. Do you think that choral music would have been a nicer synergy for a faith/culture game as Japan with their district cost/adjacency bonuses, or is feed the world just too good to pass up?
Welcome back! You sound well again! Regarding your religion name...I think kebabs are meat+ on a stick and shawarma is closer to gyros. And the sprinkles are also blursed.
An encampment near your spawn is not a bad thing... that's a solid source of military training and a cash reward when you clear it. Also helps to deter the ai from your area while you get established.
Great to see some more Potato vids coming our way! Really missed the landing with Kebabs or Gyros' religion icon, it should have been the one to the right of the snake, it really looks like a kebab meat skewer thingy haha.
it looks like early war can help if you can wipe out ottoman. Hes the only threat for a faith game plus just having him as neighbor forces you to put in decent resources to defend yourself.
You should really consider medieval war - with the districts running, the tons of strategics and your Samurai it‘d would nicely timed. Get Pingala into cap btw - no nice cities to settle ( go warlords t. ) Rly enjoying it :)
The AI tile blocks when you have a map tac or when you have sent your unit to that tile. The way around that is to not use map tacs and to send your unit to a tile near or next to the one you really want and then move it into position once you arrive.
Gyro (pronounced yee-roh) is a dish where you have some kind of meat (typically sliced lamb or chicken) served ontop of pita bread with lettuce, onion, tomato and a greek yogurt and cucumber sauce; Kebabs are believed to have originated in turkey and was what Turkish soldiers referred to skewering chunks of hunted meat on their swords before roasting those over a fire
why holy site on the hill and not the river tile where you wouldn't lose a mine and you have 2 forests you're less likely to chop because they're on a river?
Eeeeeeeeey Potato! It wasn’t until you came back that I realized how much I missed your starchy goodness! As for the Ottofriend, I’m torn. Two war decs, the second one with insufficient military, just screams to be spanked hard. And there is the religious angle. But wiping them from the map does reduce tourism as you said. Also, you may draw un-needed ire from other nearby civs, and if you don’t want this to snowball into a domination game . . . Maybe you can just raze every city except his capital, then leave him alone and broken? I’m sure you’ll be fine either way!
Hey Potato! Great work and content as usual. Your Let's Plays are always nice and educational. You made me a better Civ player. Can you share the game seed and map seed please?
the housing or amenities religious pick would work well I think. choral music would make it hilarious culture gains stacked with your theatre square wheel you just described, and the wonder yields. :D
The only problem with Grapeshot is that it doesn't let you get Shells later. Crew Weapons is only helpful on the defense (though as good for that as grape shot) but it lets you get shells. Grapeshot leads to shrapnel, forcing a siege unit to focus on anti-meele.
Why do some people build their cities so close together? I like to space them out to be about 5-6 tiles apart to get the max amount of space for each city.
PotatoMcWhiskey that’s sorta true but typically in my first few cities I feed them a lot and also for neighborhoods and the millions of districts that you unlock as the game progresses. To me it seems a lot more limiting to do 3 tiles apart
Me: Man, Potato McWhisky has such good strategies and plans Potato: So because my religion name is a couple snaks i ma go with this extra food on my religion
Remember this famous quote from Karate Kid...I've tweaked a little. We do not train (units) to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here, in the streets (hills), in competition (war): A man (Civ) confronts you, he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy.

Finally a Let's play episode again! It is so much more enjoying for me to watch than long live streams! :D😁
Absolutely, will do a variety of content!
Totally agree, and no chat that potato gets annoyed with as well

So happy to see you back. The content is amazing as per usual:)
Thanks I really appreciate you saying that! Its good to be back! :)
"Most broken start imaginable"

pretty lucky indeed!

Thank youuu! I was sorely missing your videos Potato!
29:35 is a case of "Jokes are like frogs. When you disect them, they die"
So happy that you're back! Missed your videos!
I missed them too!
I'm glad I found your channel. Idk how to really play civ, but I still try anyways. I've learned a lot from your videos!
Getting the war going seems fine. You have iron to upgrade to swordsmen in 5 turns so that gives you some pretty good military units.
Think I'll skip war!
@@PotatoMcWhiskey What's the top right corner mod called? The one which is showing how much gold, science and, culture you and the other civs are getting.
@@AjayKumar-os2wn it's not a mod, it's a game feature which he has made a video about because he got tired of everyone asking about it every video.

It is indeed the best tundra wonder in existence, perhaps even in the game.
So good to have you back, and it is also nice to have a game where you do not stream.
Awesome to hear!
Yay! A Let's Play video! I've really missed these!
Glad to see you back my dude, heres to many more!
Dude. You forgot about Gilgabro for a second. I almost lost my faith in you.
I always enjoyed calling him Giggles.

Welcome back man!
Been binging your content with my daughters since the new year. Hope everything is alright.
Everything is great, hope you guys enjoy the video!
Lol crusade is the perfect word, at least the first crusade lol. He tried to raid your territory, and you stomped him into the dirt.
exactly, why do people in the west are so afraid of historic phrases, it's so dumb.
Alwasy a pleasure to watch you play!
YEE-ros. Not gyur-ros. :) the g in gyro is silent :D
I pre-recorded like the first 5 episodes so theres going to be a lot of wrong pronunciations

An encampment near your spawn is not a bad thing... that's a solid source of military training and a cash reward when you clear it. Also helps to deter the ai from your area while you get established.
i guess that tile between 2 horses and government plaza better place for industial zone than theatre square
