I like the idea of a people forced to subsist on an island surrounded by volcanos, becoming super violent out of necessity, and then conquering the rest of the planet the second they escape their hellish starting location.
@@conmacmara2743from what I recall, a bunch of boats(I think danish?) got stuck because the water around them froze, so a bunch French cavalry tied cloth to their horses hooves to quieten the sound of their hooves against the ice, ran across the ice and took the ships. IIRC it’s the only known occasion of a cavalry attack against a naval force. This may not be entirely accurate but I think that’s what happened.
This is basically like if that one native island that shoots literally anything that comes near it, including boats, drones, etc. with hundreds of arrows, suddenly decided to take over the world... and somehow succeeded.
Is it even possible? you couldn’t build a mountain tunnel because you’d need a land tile on the other side of the mountain, and you can’t airdrop directly onto a capital.
@@Idontknowwhattocallmyself I think it's close enough to land that you could technically flip the city with loyalty too if you placed your cities as close as possible to it and built up their population a lot.
I got a diplo victory in my first game and felt jipped. I immediately loaded a few turns back and sabotaged the statue of liberty. The science win was much more satisfying. I have to go out of my way to not accidently win diplomatically.
If you had been able to found a religion and unlock Dromons earlier, you could have gone for an early religious victory. But with that start, it's amazing you won at all. Also, for the record, Dromons are effectively just quadriremes with extra range when you are attacking city defenses. They are amazing against units of any kind, but cities are not their forte.
the extra range makes it their forte. 2 range vs 1 range is a massive buff when swarming a city because you can have far more units attacking the city at once then.
@@timg4444I find them good content creators. Good at editing and good knowledge. Ra is just way more funnier and have the same level of game knowledge.
In one of the civ games I played with friends we had a map with 2 big continents and a 3-tile triangle island between them (0 prod, 0 science, 0 culture, only food there). The game ended with civilizations from both continents showering each other with nukes. That island was the only peaceful place)
10:31 I have mixed feelings about the science victory in Civilization 6. Having to complete multiple lengthy steps is convenient when I’m trying to stop someone else’s victory. But it’s annoying when I’m trying to complete each step while fighting off everyone else.
Yeah, but what would you suggest? I doubt you'd want somebody to just silently finish some production queue and win the game with no prior notice. Or even worse, just finish some tech and win.
@@conatus1306 Civilization Revolution: "China has discovered Space Flight, they may be attempting a science victory!" (That's the first warning) Then all players could see the first space ship part being launched and at that point I would know start figuring out how to stop China or start building my space ship faster. Civ 6 has the extra step of allocating enough resources to build one part after so many turns. Then waiting more turns to build that part. Then the other parts. And that is still only for the satellite (1st science victory step).
Have you ever built the Greek fire boat?
I once set up a game in a Mediterranean map with sea civs and Epic speed and the Dromon was awesome. I conquered Rome with three-tile-range Dromons.
Yes it actually helped me win some coastal cities. But not as good as the cavalry units
Not since civ 3
No but I've bought them from barb camps.
Really nice +4 era score!
"TIme to get to Russia, through Poland."
A favorite maneuver of many.
Yes but don't it is 101 stuff!

The north sentinel island people? Really fascinating story with those people.
They did just manage to leapfrog to the iron age recently (thanks to a shipwreck). So… let’s keep an eye on them.

@@fernbedek6302Throw a uranium out there and they'll worship it
@@TheeWolfiee1 I dunno about fascinating. They just weren't interacted with.
this is secretly the best start if someone is going a domination victory, since its hard to get over a mountain to take the city
Is it even possible? you couldn’t build a mountain tunnel because you’d need a land tile on the other side of the mountain, and you can’t airdrop directly onto a capital.
i think you could damage the city with anything that has 2 range, but untill you get jumping gdr i dont think you could take it
@@Idontknowwhattocallmyself I don’t think you can fire over a mountain with ranged units, even naval ones.
@@Vurawn410 oh, then i guess probably just with nukes+gdr, unless the gdr can jump into the city and stay there to melee attack it

The volcanoes weren't there to hide the world from you. They were there to keep the world safe from Ere-I mean Basil.
I love how intensely fast your episodes are.
Ain't nobody got time for a full PotatoMcWhisky episode.
"how's the capital... fixing the harbor as usual" 😂😂😂
This is absolute insanity. I never would have thought it'd be possible to win a challenge like this.

I don't even play civ anymore, but I watch your vids since they are so well done, funny, short, concise, love it :)
Damn, Andrei doesn't EVEN play civ anymore???? Crazy!!
you deserve so much more attention on the internet
This is not the worst start. The worst start would be an island on snow, surrounded by ice and thus no way out.
I don't think you can win in those conditions.
@@ssebasgoo you could still win a diplomatic victory. Which is why diplo wins are the worst.

Any time you think you are getting the grip of the game, out of nowhere comes dude who wins with this start.

Great game, you showed them that you can overcome even the most difficult challenges the game put you in. I'm impressed with your skills.
"We're 30 turns away - and we rUsHeD it!"
I can't! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Been watching Civ videos for a few years and only now has UA-cam seen fit to show me one of your videos. You got a humourous style, love it, sub'd.
I like anything with Jadwiga in it. Especially when she forces you to realize how small you are. 10/10.
umf
Love these! Glad you are making them again!
Glad you like them!
I like the 10 minute civ game style. Well edited and funny
This showed up in my recommended and I enjoyed every second of it. Great editing, funny narrator, you got yourself a sub, mister.
Really entertaining video, well done with the challenge!
fun fact in the start:
Shift Enter. Ends turn even if unit stacking is a problem.
You have a fantastic style and joie de vivre when playing, looking forward to more!
You are funny. Your voice is weird but also endearing! I share it with friends because you deserve a watch.

Oh yes, as usual, fixing harbor."

Just found you, and damn if that wasn't one of the most entertaining Civ videos I've seen in a while!
Yeah I would have struggled with Chieftain and this dude just dominated on Deity, I am in awe. Subscribed.
This is by far the most entertaining civ video I’ve ever watched
How, I can find the fun in almost any video, but this was just painful
Dude, you are so funny 😂 I love your sense of humour!
This vid is a testament that skill is superior to equipment. You don’t need studio sounds, you need movie level edit cuts. Awesome bro
Another great run, pressing F for the gdr

I almost spat my tea out at the "Mongolia, you can't capture boats with cavalry! You're not the French!" part

Wooho! A Ra video :)
Boats are so OP against the AI, they have absolutely no idea how to deal with it.
Your channel is the best ❤❤❤
My favorite map is archipelago because I love navy heavy games. Watching your 50 boats take over the world was very satisfying 😂
Loved this. I don’t know if I would have the patience to wait 173 turns before being able to explore.
RIP Konstantinos. Annihilated by his own leader at the dawn of victory after centuries of loyal sabotage...

Truly unconquerable
