Hi from Brazil, I'm learning English. I always liked ancient and medieval history in school, medieval JRPG and so on, my First contact with a strategy game was with Age of Empires 2 and with Civ V some time latter.
Got this in 182 turns, though I did intentionally delay my win at least 10 turns. The first major delay was when I did my Darwin activation for like 20 turns late and got a half value science bomb from him because I noticed I could finally get the 'Origin of Species' Achievement (Activate Darwin at the Galapagos Islands). The second, even larger delay, was so I could kill Egypt to get the 'Man on the Moon' Achievement. I know only one city would have been enough, but Cleopatra pissed me off with a turn 1 denouncement at the start of the game, and she then refused to get friendly with me for the entire game. So I intentionally didn't build any speed boost stations after the first one to instead build an army to take all of her cities.
I'm surprised you didn't start planning a rush towards Great Library. The extra Great Scientist points and tech boosts whenever other players get a Scientist would've really made blowing through the science tree easier for you. Also, really loving the editing!
Anyone interested in the math of "cancelling out a deduction" that Potato mentions at 2:00:00: - if you reduce your science by 50% that's cutting it in half. aka multiplying it by 1/2. - if you increase your science by 50% that's only a multiplication of 1.5 which actually isn't the opposite of the reduction in 50%. An increase of 100% (or multiplying it by 2) would be the exact opposite in terms of pure amount. - SO because Babylon already is sitting at a 50% decrease (1/2 of normal science), any counteractions to that decrease are worth more. So a 20% increase is more like a 40% increase because 20% added onto 50% is 70% (2/5ths more science) rather than the 120% you'd have normally (1/5th more science).
Congradulations on designing current monthly challenge in Civ 6! It is really great to see that devs show their appreciation for for huge 'core' fans by involving them into actual development of the game that they love so much. And you're w/o doubts the one that deserve this.
I just found Potatomcwhiskey and was sad that no new civ content was being made. Im already steamrolling King on my 2nd full game because of these videos. Road to Diety.
2:00:00 The "working against the modifier" is easy to explain: It's twice as good. You go from 50 to 70 so you get 40% more than what you usually get, instead of going from 100 to 120, which is just 20% more. ... But you still get 120 instead of just 70. It's only twice as good, because you start with only half as much to begin with. But since the bonuses are still the same, you can never actually fully catch up. So 50+500 = 550 is 1000% more, while 100+500 = 600 is 500% more, but you're still behind by 50 as Babylon.
Full ivy: 8*5= 40% debuff resist. Ivy with pig: 7*5.75= 40.25% debugg resist. Essentially the same. Personally i think it could be better to try and point ot at both thornblooms, but still good either way
I was playing a nice game with Wilhelmina, started with a whole continent to myself. Playing with heroes, got an early Sinbad, thought it was in the bag- then I met Hammurabi, with 1K score and 100+ science by turn 100. I know I'm bad but none of the other immortal AI were even close e
I wound up with Mansa Musa to my north, Patchaculti to my northeast, and Lady Six-Sky to my east on my seed for this challenge, and they were out for my blood I swear. Three front wars are no fun ;w; I was able to take out Mali and Maya and took what I wanted from Inca but it was such a pain.
Hey @potatoMcWhiskey - love your videos! So much things to learn from your commentary on your thinking. I have a very simple question that I tried to find the answer for a long time .. where can you see the fortification status of a unit? I looked everywhere and can't find it. Must be in a very obvious place ;)
I would like to see him do an achievement hunting stream on the few achievements he got left for Civ 6 or show how to do some of the harder or low % on steam
When playing on faster speeds newly met civs almost always refuse your delegation. This low key adds a bit of difficulty as I often find myself with AIs being hostile towards me.
Potato, didn't your eyes shine when you saw "Recorded History" in the civic tree? The library is the most broken wonder on Babylon... You should also be looking for the great engineers to build that for free. Usually running one project in the capital is enough.
Hey I thought this would be a good civ 6 video, baisically it is possible to win by domination (no limit of turns because it takes forever) without declaring war on anyone at all. If you can get your opponents to lose so much money that they are bankrupt, their amenities will drop, causing rebels to be made. The rebels take the city and it is destroyed, they can’t fight back as the troops are also taken away if a player is bankrupt. It’s something I think I’m probably the first ever person to do cause I have no life 😭
Potato, in general and with Babylon specifically, it's better to just not research. If you shift-enter, your turn ends but you store up your science and culture if you aren't actively researching. Then, when you have enough to research the tech/civic you want in one turn, you just select it. That way, you don't waste science on a tech that you boost later
Wait a minute- he got plastic before *Chemistry*. Implying in this timeline, the Babylonians were just screwing around and invented plastics with no understanding of Chemistry or the mechanisms with which their plastics were made
Is there any way to get a modlist that you run for your civ 6 games? ive started watching your content and some of the ui mods looked really nice to pick up
I love how quick games are like “your warriors cross the river to the village mine. This took 40 years.”
Is potato back with Civ 6 content?! Sweet lord baby jesus on tricycle! Hallelujah!
I know I waited like 4 days for a Civ video made work suck 😂
Yayy ❤
This is what the people want
@@nickfromtipp LOL, Google thought it would be interesting to say it could translate "yayy" to "yay"...
Hallelujah!
homie drops a 3 hour video the day before my exam, no good
Good luck with that exam bro
You got this! Good luck with your exam!
what a perfect reward after you did your exam :D
school is gay
I mean who doesnt study watching potato or any other type of content i know i do
i have never been so disappointed to find out that the start for the challenge is randomized, this seed looks fantastic
Hi from Brazil, I'm learning English. I always liked ancient and medieval history in school, medieval JRPG and so on, my First contact with a strategy game was with Age of Empires 2 and with Civ V some time latter.
thats insanely fast, i focused on getting planes as soon as possible to bully the ai. biplanes in the renaissance era went hard
Bombers... no fighters

Dude accepted his role as the true AI!!

I took a break from watching Civ 6 videos so the timing was perfect.
It is funny, after playing Millennia, Potato keeps saying "capital city" when talking about settling new cities.
Editor is the MVP
Anyone interested in the math of "cancelling out a deduction" that Potato mentions at 2:00:00:
- if you reduce your science by 50% that's cutting it in half. aka multiplying it by 1/2.

I always love when Potato stops giving a fuck in the later parts of the videos and just starts singing.
Very fun!
49:50 "your mom gave me a Comercial chub" 😂😂 wasn't expecting that
Came to the comment section just to see if someone mentioned this 🤣
56:16 I have noticed that too. CIV repositions your screen after clicking a unit sometimes; making you misclick

You can always tell that Potato is getting near the end of the game when he starts singing
“Accumulating a small series of advantages over a long period of time is the entire game.” True for more than just video games lol.
Homie editor even dropped a stable for us.
That was a *powerful* “hey spuddies”
I just found Potatomcwhiskey and was sad that no new civ content was being made. Im already steamrolling King on my 2nd full game because of these videos. Road to Diety.
Tried this the other day in a game and only was able to get a 179
Mad props Tato!
GAS GAS GAS!- Potato Mcwhiskey, probably
I SAID A CIV 6 *series* … but this will do for now ❤❤❤❤
Welcome back PMW! I hope you enjoyed your break from CIV 6 and were able to expand your horizons, follow your curiosity, and try new things!
29:41 props to the editors!
In the late great words of Tycus Findlay "Hell, Its about time." Were back onto civ baby
Thank you PotatoMcWhisky for coming back to Civilization 6 i have been waiting for you for a while now.
watching this 3 hour video was 100% worth it just for the Stargate reference at the end
Awesome love watching you play full games you just spit so much wisdom helps me improve!
POTATOMCWHISKEY CIV 6 CONTENT BACK LESGOOOOOO
love the middle parts of potatos videos
Because you said *Toyko Drifting* I assumed you meant Japan did a surprise victory and I was so confused the whole time.
You seem a lot happier playing this than Colonization :D
2:00:00 The "working against the modifier" is easy to explain: It's twice as good. You go from 50 to 70 so you get 40% more than what you usually get, instead of going from 100 to 120, which is just 20% more. ... But you still get 120 instead of just 70. It's only twice as good, because you start with only half as much to begin with. But since the bonuses are still the same, you can never actually fully catch up. So 50+500 = 550 is 1000% more, while 100+500 = 600 is 500% more, but you're still behind by 50 as Babylon.
Welcome back I was getting board watching reruns of your content
I think you meant "bored" LOL.
Or were you really getting boarded on a plane? Or turning into a plank of wood?
it's so nice you're back with civ 6 content at the same time I reinstalled the game
Potato on my favourite civ?? Sign me up!!
Haven't seen this civ played much before, it was an interesting run. I'd be happy to see some Stellaris on the channel as well!
Full ivy: 8*5= 40% debuff resist.
Ivy with pig: 7*5.75= 40.25% debugg resist. Essentially the same. Personally i think it could be better to try and point ot at both thornblooms, but still good either way
Good to see you back homie.
I was playing a nice game with Wilhelmina, started with a whole continent to myself. Playing with heroes, got an early Sinbad, thought it was in the bag- then I met Hammurabi, with 1K score and 100+ science by turn 100. I know I'm bad but none of the other immortal AI were even close
e
I just found out that you are responsible for this month's challenge!
I was crushed when I won this challenge on turn 201. I too felt like I was blazing a trail through the stars
This is the current empire that I started and now I have almost full tech tree with the next AI at just entering industrial
Lesgo civ is back. also I really want to see a Lord High Emu video I think that'd be epic ✨
Hey! Really enjoying your game of the month. It’s a blast
This event was the first time I got a science victory. Got some insane yields with Petra and Ruhr Valley in the same city for my space center city.
cant wait for the stellaris upload
I would've loved more eu4 content but great content as always !
Great knowledge here on the city state buff on all units!
I wound up with Mansa Musa to my north, Patchaculti to my northeast, and Lady Six-Sky to my east on my seed for this challenge, and they were out for my blood I swear. Three front wars are no fun ;w; I was able to take out Mali and Maya and took what I wanted from Inca but it was such a pain.
This video is reasonable :) thanks for the amazing civ6 content!
Hey @potatoMcWhiskey - love your videos! So much things to learn from your commentary on your thinking.
I have a very simple question that I tried to find the answer for a long time .. where can you see the fortification status of a unit? I looked everywhere and can't find it. Must be in a very obvious place ;)
Potato doing Civ 6? Finally some good fucking food.
+2 for the editor paying attention with Ngazargamu.
I would like to see him do an achievement hunting stream on the few achievements he got left for Civ 6 or show how to do some of the harder or low % on steam
I need to know more about Sid’s underground Stargate program!!
Very interesting that you say Aluminum. I guess the game calls it that.
Another Civ playthrough another religion forgotten by Potato
3 hours...screw it who needs sleep, I can sleep when I am dead
this channel play CIV6 too good!
yooo, the most important graph! cool stuff man
1:47:33 "I'm reviewing your moooms application, to my bed" hahahhahah
Bro just killing every palgum tile lol
Don't worry Potato, I beat the monthly challenge they said was designed by you. Twice.
For the record, I've been enjoying the other games on the channel
"move a tile to the right"
yes, the _right_
Let's keep swimming (2:38:05)
... Keep swimming
... Keep swimming
... Keep swimming
... Keep swimming
I was just saying I need a Age of Wonder 4 playthrough with the new update
The Great Library is actually A tier for Babylon
When playing on faster speeds newly met civs almost always refuse your delegation. This low key adds a bit of difficulty as I often find myself with AIs being hostile towards me.
Love the Dory map pack
I loved the video title!
insane. I was still using horses at move 168 lol
And that's how a plumbus is made.
your singing voice is really beautiful at 1.5x speed
About time!!! We missed this
I watch a lot of longer content at 1.25x speed. Potato is already running at 1.75x though.
At long last, the Mega-city industrial complex has returned!
Ahhh man! I needed this.
Potato, didn't your eyes shine when you saw "Recorded History" in the civic tree? The library is the most broken wonder on Babylon... You should also be looking for the great engineers to build that for free. Usually running one project in the capital is enough.
I honestly thought your editor had body slammed you @29:52 before realising they were merely addressing you in the correct context!
What about the stable, Potato? Love the editor.
1:50:41 Anyone else find it funny with the Mausoleum built video the harbour was on fire.
Hey I thought this would be a good civ 6 video, baisically it is possible to win by domination (no limit of turns because it takes forever) without declaring war on anyone at all. If you can get your opponents to lose so much money that they are bankrupt, their amenities will drop, causing rebels to be made. The rebels take the city and it is destroyed, they can’t fight back as the troops are also taken away if a player is bankrupt. It’s something I think I’m probably the first ever person to do cause I have no life 😭
Oh wait someone has done it with Eleanor
Potato, in general and with Babylon specifically, it's better to just not research. If you shift-enter, your turn ends but you store up your science and culture if you aren't actively researching. Then, when you have enough to research the tech/civic you want in one turn, you just select it. That way, you don't waste science on a tech that you boost later
I do not find that to be fun
There are a few starting techs that cannot be boosted, though. Are you saying to shift-enter after completing those three techs?
Potato is back! W
How i can ativate that top right icons about our civ and the AI, to compare gold/faith/science/etc. ?
Are you ever going to revisit Terra Invicta? They just had a MASSIVE update
I can only assume it’s do to the tech tree scramble, but it’s crazy to me you got plastic before printing
Wait a minute- he got plastic before *Chemistry*. Implying in this timeline, the Babylonians were just screwing around and invented plastics with no understanding of Chemistry or the mechanisms with which their plastics were made
the movies are back
Does anyone else exclusively play on epic time frames? Marathon is poorly balanced, but after epic, normal just feels way too fast...
Yes, I settled on Epic long-term as a console pleb without access to mods.
"Pop it in Geneva." - I'm pretty sure you missed a mom joke here...
When is the Potato McWhiskey album dropping? There were some hella mad tunes peppered amongst that whirlwind game
big question! does your harbor get adjacency bonus from oil if it's on top of it?
Massive W for my Week
Yes he’s back!
Is there any way to get a modlist that you run for your civ 6 games? ive started watching your content and some of the ui mods looked really nice to pick up
