  • Today we play one of the most challenging scenarios of Civilization 6 and try and find a way to beat the black death! Also known as the plague. The black death / bubonic plague was a deadly disease that spread through the western world in the 14th century and massively changed society. Today using this Civ 6 challenge we will be watching how the spiffing brit beats this historic pandemic using more death? Ok this is going to be one chaotic funny montage! Naturally we are ignoring the latest civ 6 update to instead have fun messing about with an old challenge and discovering How To Beat the Black Death With MORE DEATH!!!
    So sit back and watch as the spiffing brit tests to see if Civilization 6 is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits or if the black death is just another great way to show off a video game exploit in this incredible 4X strategy game!!
    A huge thank ye to u/ems_telegram for pointing me in the direction of the black death scenario in Civ 6!
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

      And for the UK, so many casualties were elderly and the same elders still refused vaccine priority, letting young ones have them before they do.
