"Ooo, we've entered the Renaissance Age". Jon's soothsayer looks up from throwing another unit into a volcano "say what now ?"
"Tea is a really good amenity"
*the spiffing Brit liked that*
Only if its spiff aprroved Yorkshire tea
Ugh. Don’t invoke the name of that clickbaiting one trick pony. 25 minutes to explain a simple save exploit. Yawn.
@@Jayfive276 I enjoy his videos, but I do somewhat agree.
Isn't it wonderful how we can all like different things yet still get along? Such a wholesome, respectful community.
@@rifflerunderhill7006 🤣🤣🤣
Not getting bonus housing for settling near a river is appropriate for the Maya since I believe they were one of the only early civilizations not to start in a river valley.
Glory to the volcano! The ultimate triangle of strength!
No, heretic! Praise the Hurricane! The great Circle of Doooom!
Pyramid. Pyramid of Strength. It's all about the pyramids! (Or if you've been watching his recent CK2 series, the Trapezoid of Strength.)
Jon:I don’t need an army
Gets attacked
Jon:what am I suppose to do?
That is Sweden in a nutshell! (I'm from Sweden)
Inspired by 40:42 "And bear in mind, of course, that natural disasters can do horrible, horrible damage to troops. ...They have to march through a narrow desert pass between two mountains, kick off a sandstorm. If they have to march through it, they might lose entire *units*."
The clank of equipment and armor mixes with the sound of many, many feet upon the sand as your army marches through the desert. Your eyes flit between the ridges either side of the pass, watching for anything out of place, that might warn of an ambush or of a scout who has spotted you. If you make it through this pass, you will catch their meager army on the back-foot as they retreat towards their capital, coming in behind them and ensuring their doom. But it's the perfect place for an ambush.
Suddenly, yet ponderously, a wagon rolls out of the dunes in front of your army. It seems to carry some kind of holy symbol, and the handful of people surrounding it wear long, flowing robes which obscure everything but their eyes, and carry walking sticks. You dismiss them immediately - they are clearly religious fanatics, on some kind of pilgrimage. Even if they are not, there are too few to pose any significant threat to your army, and they are traveling in the opposite direction you mare - any information they carry will arrive too late. Some of your men seem a tad uneasy at its sudden appearance, but you wave them on.
The most curious thing about the wagon is the assortment of junk which hangs from every inch of available space. It makes a most irritatingly discordant set of sounds as it blows in the wind, knocking into itself and the wagon.
As the wagon rolls to a stop in front of your army, the junk makes a horrendous crash, and the fanatics remove instruments from it. Two carry some kind of gourd, probably filled with gravel or dried seeds from the sounds that issue from them, one carries a large drum which they begins to beat on steadily, and one carries a long wooden tube of some kind, from which the most unsettling low, wandering hum emanates. The only one left without an instrument you presume to be their leader, for they carries a slightly more ornate staff which they raises above their head as they begins to chant in a language you do not recognize. The wind, which rises with the chanter's voice, seem to carry the chanting further and further, until it echoes repeatedly off the walls of the pass. With a final shout, the leader slams their staff into the ground and the "music" stops, though the echoes continue. The fanatics put their instruments back in the wagon and proceed back from whence they came, disappearing quickly into the dunes.
You would have stopped them but your eyes were locked on the wall of dust which had suddenly sprung up in the middle distance. It was racing towards you faster than you had ever seen anything move, and before you knew it, it was on top of you. The wind, which had been howling, became a roar as dust and sand filled your eyes, your nose, your mouth, and eventually, your lungs. Every inch of your skin which was not covered began to burn as the windblown dust rubbed against it like sandpaper. Your would have cried out in pain had you had the breath to do so.
Your army was never seen again.
Jon, Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is a really, really good 4x strategy game. It’s 21 years old, but you should definitely consider doing a one-off on it. It’s like if Beyond Earth was actually an interesting and fun game (and made before the millenium).
A wonderful suggestion! Although I rather enjoyed Beyond Earth, I don't quite understand why it always gets a lot of hate
The backstory for that game is great as well.
Oh, the Cat Scout is a free skin that you get if you link your 2K account to your copy of the game.
But you specifically have to enable it in the DLC menu after you linked , so you must've done that at some point.
Once you enable it, it replaces the classic scout skin with the cat skin, but it does so for every player on the map.
Ah, perception again is not his strongest stat
Might have been set up by Claire.
@@jidk6565 Yeah, it does seem like he traded perception for speed
@@craniusdominus8234 or intelligence, he is smart cookie
@@craniusdominus8234 jon rolled a high "luck" life... his best stat by far.
Did Jon really forget about the very complicated account-linking process that is very not on by default which replaces the scout’s dog with some cats
So that’s why it changed, I thought it was some hidden update 😂
Odd's on Claire changed it without telling him...or Tabby
Other neat thing about Soothsayers: their promotions can include powerful combat bonuses to friendly nearby troops or causing any enemy city they're next to to count as "besieged". The more soothsayer competitions you get, the better.
I vaguely remember playing a Civilization game as kid.
Two Fusion Tanks vs. two Tribals.
Good times.
MATN doing Civ? SIGN ME THE HECK UP
"The volcano game is heating up!"
DON'T SUGAR COAT IT JON IT'S JUST A SEASON PASS
Seriously. What happened to releasing a complete game at launch? Why does every game have Alpha, Beta, Early Access, Pre-Order, Premium Version, Online Version, Online Version eith Battle Royale, and Season Passes all within 2 years?
Malachi Biffle
Because companies wanna normalize this bullcrap so people will buy into it and they can cheat customers out of their cash. Either Civ VI will fulfill their promise and make this scheme look more reliable, or they won’t and they’ll have successfully cheated customers out of their cash. It’s a win win for the business that isn’t beneficial to the customer, and that’s why you won’t see me supporting it or buying it.
@@malachitx Just because something was added to the game doesn't mean it was "incomplete" at launch. Blood and Wine was one of the best expansions I've ever played. Does that mean the Witcher 3 by itself was an "incomplete" game at launch? No. That's idiotic.
I love Jon playing Civ VI. So relaxing. More please Jon!
Your description of the apocalypse settings sound like you might be able to play as an apocalypse cult. Like, instead of winning, you focus on preventing all the other civs from winning, and buy time until the apocalypse happens.
It's probably not possible, but it could be an amusing playthrough.
I was looking forward to a MATN take on this after watching The Spiffing Brit's video. Great stuff.
Scouts having to travel with cats instead of dogs is just one of the natural disasters ... for scouts.
This bodes well.
i was a bit confused in the beginning, when jon was talking about "the mire"...
Love civ 6. I got it because of you. Thank you JON
Sorry if it's John ... I'm too lazy to look it up. Sorry
Same! Its Jon 🤝
Am running through a new game as Gran Colombia
thanks so much for tackling this mode tho, it scared me off
I want a stream of civ 6 again.
The shoe has turned.
Exceptional.
The worm is on the other foot now!
Just bought this game on sale for the Switch, so I’m watching this video at the perfect time!
SERIES NOW!!! (sorry Jon I really like this)
Oooh exciting
29:00 im sorry is that Scotland the brave on a banjo in the background, I don't really mind but its not what I think of when I see Mayan cities
Hello From South Carolina!
winning gold in the lava olympics also grants you the bonuses from the other places, so you get a free soothsayer AND the random promotion and the small faith boost
Boat mormans will be thrown into the volcano
I say we throw the crabs in after we ban them.
Gotta love the town of Yaks Chilling.
Hey Jon, do you plan on taking a look at Humankind? I'd watch you play that.
Sandstorms could be useful if the desert faith mechanic carried over from civ v. If you establish a city in a non desert area, you could give it a sandstorm to increase its faith output. If I understand what’s going on correctly
This needs a MATN and Spiffing Brit collaboration.
Big points to having the big disaster update along with the Mayans.
That's a fun joke
Jon is the best!
The Scout Cat is because you linked your game with a 2k account, that's a bonus skin you unlock for doing that.
Stream it!!!
The shoe has turned?!?
New series? 😁 would be awesome
Soothsayers are absolutely broken if you can get the bath’s wonder.
the idea of you doing another fallout series is whats keeping me going these days
Oh, so the Maya are Australia but with farms covering all of their territory instead of the lovely outback stations.
On the global warming in the original civ after a truly major nuclear war the ice caps melted and the only cities that had more than 1 pop were the ones on mountain tops
The fact Mayans focus on the end of the world but is not even the top one is such a cute thing.
Where is the anniversary video ? Don’t get me wrong this is great.
In advanced setup you can ban AIs from spawning pre game.
Can you not choose the civs that will be in the game when you create it? That seems like disabling Fredrick.
Is apocalypse mode in gathering storm or new frontier ?
Does it have to be the volcano? Cant you just drown your sacrifices in the river?
the cats are not new they were the pre-order bonus lol. the mod must of just gotten re-enabled with the update.
Big fan of Civ all the way up to V, but never had interest in VI. This expac though, seems hilariously fun.
Mentally added "but that's just a theory... a GAME theory!" at 44:50
Honestly, I would love to see Jon do an episode like that. 😆
You made me buy Civ 6 MATN 😢 but yay fun
Am I going insane or is the Scottish civ music playing when he's meant to be playing as the Maya?
Could be the Darien colony perhaps? lol
You actually can disable cigs now
Can you play a Canada civ
base game is free on epic rn :)
Huh. Yeah, that soothsayer does look like a skaven...
Civilization: Warhammer. Someone, go and mod it!!!
The benefit of Maya isn't really the gold from farms, that is a minor and forgettable bonus. The Maya are built for one thing, and that is stacking modifiers to science gain. You should be able to get good amenities if you settle next to luxuries, getting percentage bonuses. All cities near your capital get percentage bonuses. Most importantly, you can always make good use of the Rationalism policy card, because getting both the prerequisites for it (a +3 campus and 10 pop) is very easy to accomplish as the Maya. Other civs can will have higher adjacency on some of their campuses, but only Korea can really claim to be more consistent about getting at least +3 in _every_ campus. For science victories you really want a small cluster of cities that are making maximal uses of industrial zones and campuses and entertainment complexes anyway, with everything outside that cluster just being used to feed resources back into your core. Maya just doubles down on that.
Unfortunately, that does bring up their main weakness. Korea is already the tall, science based Civ (Korea may not seem tall initially, but they are built around making use of the Audience Chamber). And they are better at it. I like some of the ideas behind the Maya, but they don't rate higher than B tier.
Stellaris 25x crisis strength Impossible run!!
weird thinking no ones finished this video yet
20 Views. damn im early
ive never been this early quick what do i do???? oh i know ill make a snappy comment about it
oh wait
+0GE. Indent, y'know? Use c++, o.k.?
"Use solar panels, or prepare for the Sid Meier's equivalent of timing out in Worms."
I reckon the devs have allowed the youtubers Early access to allow exploits or bugs to be found as a way of bug testing this ‘expansion’ spiff did the gran Columbia and Jon has done the maya so they can patch them out before release. Will pick this up once all civs have been released I think. Usually on. Sale quite regularly and cheap too
hi
And.... none of the exploits are patched.
they patched out the pantheon and district stacking exploits...
@@GreenSpear damn they actually did? Or is it just if you download the dlc?
@@albinobama5744 the game came with a patch, it updated the launcher too.
Why do all god game video producers on YT have zany voices?
Remember when Jon put this higher than Stellaris in his games of the year? Pepperidge farm remembers.
Jon, Please finish Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Civ 6 is free on epic games store now
Only base game, but still
I"m here because it's free
Whenever jon says he is going to play tall, I automatically press x
Jon, you're over prioritizing food. When you're near your population is one below your housing cap you're surplus food is cut in half. when at your housing cap your surplus food is cut by 75%. Instead build a dam and aqueduct adjacent to an industrial zone to give your city housing and production.
also district adjacency works cross city. you can settle three cities in a triangle and then place their observatories in a triangle then surround them with plantations and other districts for additional adjacency.
You also want natural philosophy running at all time and Pingala gives insane amounts of culture and science.
Jon, the polar ice caps melting will not lead to floods. The oceans warming up is what will. Know how much water that is? Know how much it expands just by virtue of the difference in density due to temperature?
I hate this businessmodel
As a matter of principle, so do I.
But, if I'll be totally honest, I paid full price for the Rise and Fall DLC, finished a game with ONE of the new civs (Wilhemina), started a second game with another civ (Robert the Bruce) and then I completely got distracted by other games and didn't bother playing it again until the next expansion was announced. I didn't even touch the scenarios
Then the same thing almost happened with the second DLC. I paid full price, and when it was out, I played Eleanor and finished, then started with Matthias and got sidetracked by other games coming out at the same time, and I would have almost forgot about the whole expansion pack again, if not for their summer update. And I still never touched the scenarios
So, if it's still the same cost as full expansion pack, and it has the same amount of overall content (which it does, judging by the roadmap), then I'm willing to give it a shot and see if having the content split up in smaller chunks helps.
Also, I need to add that I don't think civ 6 is a bad or forgettable game. I just have a short attention span and not as much time as I'd like :D
this game is free on the epic game store at the moment
guys it's free on epic games make sure to get it
Was about to comment the same, hopefully someone will get a nice surprise off of this
day 15 of asking for Zoo Tycoon. You can buy volcanoes
Those Mayan “cats” are actually dogs, they would use Chihuahuas to hunt small animals.
It's worth bearing in mind that Jon is wrong at the start - this isn't a new way of releasing content at all, it's the same trickle of DLC that Civ has always had. It's just the usual "season pass" nonsense that so many publishers do these days in an effort to get you to preorder everything instead of just buying it when it's actually released.
battlefield 5 has showen the flaw in a live service that is if you pay for somthing and they dont deliver then what recousre do you have none as there is no promise at all so i think i will hard pass on this and no longer drop money for dlc for this or any other civ game.
That stuff is stupidly broken . .
It is called "buying the cat in a bag", Jon.
Or Season pass. It's nothing new. And more often than not is the cat rather disappointing for the price. The smaller ones also pay2win (Alexander)
But then again, Gathering storm was also disappointing. For it's ludicrous AAA pricetag
It is also a sign that civ7 is not on the horizon.
This game is Greta approved
No shark leaders 0/10 worst game ever
Now free on Epic games
Does it include some dlc's
I want to like Civ VI but the business model is so aweful. I mean, not this DLC "fixes" an unfinished mechanic from the last DLC? That doesn't sit well with me at all. Also this tricksy Season Pass business is just so 2015. Nobody does this anymore. Also, DLC for Civ is so expensive it feels like daylight robbery... I will wait another 3-5 years and then get Civ VI Final Definite Ultra (pinky swear this is it now) Edition for 12€ on Humble Bundle.
Why is the art style for the leaders so incredibly bad and downright hideous?
I remember when Civ used to be the super-smash brothers of 4x games. Being a civ in the game used to mean something, now it's just PC crap.
oh jonathan, will you never learn
