The worst that happened to me was when I made a defensive pact with a civ. Then another civ and their bribed civ states declared war on them, so I automatically declared war to all of those as per agreement of the defensive pact. Well it turned out that the civ I was allied with had declared that they were protecting one of those civ states, so they denounced me for declaring war on them even though I was merely honoring the agreement... This is why defensive pacts in Civ V might as well don't exist.
the original text says Time not death, kaal means Time in Sanskrit but misused as death in modern day hindi. Your kaal/time/end is near is the sentence which created the confusion i am guessing, people switched time with death.
Last time I met Shaka, he surrounded my capital with 4 cities, and went to war with me because I built to close to his capital. I only had the one city

No, being at war with England and getting nothing done for the entire game until you slapped them in 10 turns doesn't make me the warmonger, it makes you the warmonger, you barbarian. Get denounced -Like every AI ever
The Spain one is so accurate. I've had two games where I randomed them. One I had the game sealed after getting two faith wonders in the first ten turns. Dominant religion with Pagodas and Mosques and set up to have so much gold I could just buy a victory. Full concede in the first 80 turns. Another one with them and I had nothing near me. My military wasn't amazing and I got destroyed by Camel Archers.
Very underwhelming unless you are constantly under war and inside borders. If you are defending your cities, you are basically immortal unless they can 1 shot you. Unfortunately, civ5 favors the knowledgable or the religious. Both of which japan isn't really good at.
@@guest273 Right? I could've been playing as the Aztecs in that game and the Milanese would still find a way to send a diplomat over to call me a dick and declare war.
I remember being in an archipelago map playing as Japan, I was allied with Greece and the Celts in a war against England and China. Things were going well, I'd taken the last Chinese city and was pushing hard into English territory in a bloody ground war when the Greeks suddenly turned on me and took three of my outlying cities in a single turn. My first move after letting loose every curse word I know was to sign a peace with England and take stock of the situation. I already had reinforcements headed to the English front and decided that they'd be better served over there than recall them and risk losing them to the technologically and numerically superior Greek navy, besides it would take too long for them to arrive in any case. I judged the northern islands to be a lost cause and evacuated the troops from those to the home islands, and while I did lose a few on subsequent turns it was still better than losing the lot trying to defend them. Then I had my local naval forces conduct an immediate counter attack though after seeing that an assault by my surface fleet would be futile I relegated them to convoy escort and still lost them all almost immediately. My submarine fleet however performed much better and with that in mind ordered all of my shipyards to begin construction of entire fleets of them. The Greek navy didn't take kindly to that though and began systematically hunting them down. Luckily I was building them faster than they were being destroyed and between them and the Celtic battleships fighting them to a stalemate in the north I was able to regain naval supremacy and retake the occupied islands and fight my way into their territory... just in time for them to finish work on their rocket and claim a science victory

It installs automatically for free on Steam, and adds the Mongolian civilization and Rise of the Mongols scenario."_ *Civ 5 was released in September 21, 2010.* So it still counts as a DLC even if it's one for the Vanilla game. Plus you can also disable it in Steam. :P So, sorry but check mate.
@@guest273 I was told it wasn't a DLC by my relatives, so I just assumed right from the start that Mongolia is part of vanilla. Also the check mate part was a bit unneeded, just an explanation would've been enough (I only expressed what I think was right from what I knew/and I only started to play civ 5 back in like 2017). I prefer not having to deal with a rather direct, heart wrenching ish, quote 😅
Yeah. In the base game they had 2 really strong melee units coming one after the other. Especially the fact that both came after the time you'd usually get Crossbows, so they'd counter the strongest units in the game with their high stats quite well. They were such a pain to deal with especially since napoleon loves to spam both - small cities and tons of units.
The only civilizations I'm afraid to go against are Rome and Russia, so I do my best to defeat them early on otherwise they either beat me through literally beating my civilization to death, or beating me in science points.
I've got a Civ 6 key but I haven't played it yet. (Still achievement hunting in Civ 5.) So doing one for 6 before playing it would be tricky! :P Some of them would feel like the 'Hello fellow kids' meme: "Hello fellow Civ 6 players, how are you doing?"
I can imagine the Civ VI is something like this Germany: Imagine giving a medieval knight a submarine, that's basically giving Germany it's unique unit. Byzantium: Deus vult Kongo: I have all the moment to talk about our lord and savior, or I will denounce you for it
Just finished a Deity Korea game. Diplomatic + Domination victories. You can get multiple victories. If you haven't played as Korea, give it a try. Very fun and strong civ.
The description of the dutch is so painfully accurate. I love the visual display of polders yet when I play them... well fuck me, I'll have five polders spread over ten cities or something. If AI plays dutch, they get seven polders at the main city start v.v
How is it that the game has the Iroquois, Maya, Zulu, Venice, Polynesia, the Shoshone, and a few other largely non-modern or trade-based civilizations but it doesn't have Australia or Argentina in them.
Meh, Australia is boring to play as - too culturally similar to the already existing anglo-saxon civilizations (America and England). Argentina I agree would be a good addition, and so would Mexico, but they'll never do the latter as they always go for Aztecs and potentially Mayans... (which is good from a cultural diversity perspective I guess)
@@Vict0r1984 Mexico slipped my mind, but indeed, it would make a great addition to the game. The Aztecs are of course a staple of the Civ series at this point, but as Civ 5 shows in this very video, we can have both the Aztecs and the Mexicans in the same game. I disagree with Australia. I feel like Civ 6 did a fine job in separating it from both England and the United States, and their real world geography and history make for a lot of interesting opportunities as far as a civilization goes. But yes, I do agree it is probably the least enticing of the three overall.
@@nicolaszan1845 to be fair I'm probably biased in this because of 2 reasons: 1. Australia is a very young culture and in Civ I tend to play ancient cultures for most of my campaigns (probably the youngest countries I did campaigns with were the Netherlands and Russia - oh, and once or twice the Iroquis, so I guess they'd be the youngest! 😂) Can't really explain it but there is something special in seeing a flourishing sky-scrapper-ladden Aztec/Incan/Byzantine/Roman/Carthagian/pre-Abrahamic Egyptian atomic era empire of 300 million people plus... At least for me there's a kind of child-like joy in imagining how these nations evolved into modern times and how different their societies, values and ethos are from nation-states in our universe. .. 2. I only pirated civ 6 to try it out a few months after release as I had heard mixed things about it, and back then the AI was dreadful. I could crank difficulty up to Emperor or Immortal (you know, the ones at which the AI cheats significantly) and they would usually eclipse me technologically and produce 3 times as many military units, but still be utterly incapable to use siege weapons and conquer one of my cities - is the AI finally good at waging war and can you get destroyed now on the highest difficulties? That wasn't hard in Civ IV and could happen in V, but in VI I felt the AI was so stupid it ruined my game immersion, so I never got to see the expansion that added in Australia and so on... I only played V since and thought maybe I'll get to VI if they fix the AI, but for a long while didn't find anything really suggesting that. Would you say it is decent now and less indecisive in wars?
My current game Greece keeps trying to bully the shit outta me, I'm creeping out of the renaissance era and still dont even know where tf he is, all I know is when I get my pointy stick survey popup I'm about 2000 ouchy pokes higher than him so idk where hes getting the balls to try and intimidate me. Maybe its because he feels safe hiding in the abyss. It's a pangea map too and I cannot fucking find him 😂
I'm in the middle of a Marathon game as the Germans, and that comment about barbarians makes too much sense. I will have to silence you now with 15 former barbarian units.

I actually won a partial navy based domination victory with Sulieman. His UA is actually quite good if you want a large navy which doesnt cost you as much gold.
I've never had a game where Mongolia wasn't irreverisbly friends with me, especially when spawning close together. I do not get what people are talking about. He is the chillest dude ever. I loathe taking Karakorum and leave it for last, and he's even friendly after you take it. On higher difficulties without liberty, happiness can be a pain, so you can just hand him the cities you take that put you at science deficit, and trade for 'em with the excess gold you got.

No, being at war with England and getting nothing done for the entire game until you slapped them in 10 turns doesn't make me the warmonger, it makes you the warmonger, you barbarian. Get denounced
-Like every AI ever
Me: takes one city
the ai: I still hate you for taking "x"'s city even though they took half my land >:(

My favorite Civ V youtube channel. So funny.
The Spain one is so accurate. I've had two games where I randomed them. One I had the game sealed after getting two faith wonders in the first ten turns. Dominant religion with Pagodas and Mosques and set up to have so much gold I could just buy a victory. Full concede in the first 80 turns. Another one with them and I had nothing near me. My military wasn't amazing and I got destroyed by Camel Archers.
Sometimes it do be like that 😅
playing civ 6, but hella missing civ 5. This was a great walk through the memories. I could hear all their quotes and songs
I'm happy you enjoyed it! :)
No harm in coming back to Civ 5 once in a while too! :P
Japan is like good af though. Their wounded unit bonus is so useful.
They're ok af. I like Japan tho.
Very underwhelming unless you are constantly under war and inside borders. If you are defending your cities, you are basically immortal unless they can 1 shot you. Unfortunately, civ5 favors the knowledgable or the religious. Both of which japan isn't really good at.
I also find that the samurai is pretty good since getting Longswordsman is about the time I go to war
As an Egypt player myself, this was way too accurate.
1:51 By that description, I confused them with Milan in Medieval Total War 2.
It's true for both.
@@guest273 Right? I could've been playing as the Aztecs in that game and the Milanese would still find a way to send a diplomat over to call me a dick and declare war.
I remember being in an archipelago map playing as Japan, I was allied with Greece and the Celts in a war against England and China. Things were going well, I'd taken the last Chinese city and was pushing hard into English territory in a bloody ground war when the Greeks suddenly turned on me and took three of my outlying cities in a single turn. My first move after letting loose every curse word I know was to sign a peace with England and take stock of the situation. I already had reinforcements headed to the English front and decided that they'd be better served over there than recall them and risk losing them to the technologically and numerically superior Greek navy, besides it would take too long for them to arrive in any case.
I judged the northern islands to be a lost cause and evacuated the troops from those to the home islands, and while I did lose a few on subsequent turns it was still better than losing the lot trying to defend them.
Then I had my local naval forces conduct an immediate counter attack though after seeing that an assault by my surface fleet would be futile I relegated them to convoy escort and still lost them all almost immediately. My submarine fleet however performed much better and with that in mind ordered all of my shipyards to begin construction of entire fleets of them.
The Greek navy didn't take kindly to that though and began systematically hunting them down. Luckily I was building them faster than they were being destroyed and between them and the Celtic battleships fighting them to a stalemate in the north I was able to regain naval supremacy and retake the occupied islands and fight my way into their territory... just in time for them to finish work on their rocket and claim a science victory
Yeah, Greece do be like that. 😅😱😉

Even better cause it's a quote from the Bhagavad Gita
I don't know why, but every game where Assyria and Babylon are close to each other I watch their AI's go murder each other and it usually becomes a stalemate or I am the Assyrian player murdering Babylon for easy early game free techs.

Now to wait for 51 civs from Civ 6 in one sentence!
Small correction on the list of civs at 0:05, Mongolia is in vanilla game
_"They are available with the Civilization and Scenario Pack: Mongols (Genghis Khan), which was released on October 25, 2010"_
_"The Civilization and Scenario Pack: Mongols (Genghis Khan) is a DLC for Civilization V released on October 25, 2010 with the initial game release. It installs automatically for free on Steam, and adds the Mongolian civilization and Rise of the Mongols scenario."_
*Civ 5 was released in September 21, 2010.*
So it still counts as a DLC even if it's one for the Vanilla game. Plus you can also disable it in Steam. :P So, sorry but check mate.
@@guest273 I was told it wasn't a DLC by my relatives, so I just assumed right from the start that Mongolia is part of vanilla. Also the check mate part was a bit unneeded, just an explanation would've been enough (I only expressed what I think was right from what I knew/and I only started to play civ 5 back in like 2017). I prefer not having to deal with a rather direct, heart wrenching ish, quote 😅
@@djray8 xD Yeah, I get it.
Still pissed how they did France dirty. But then again, it is France. They had it coming.
Yeah. In the base game they had 2 really strong melee units coming one after the other. Especially the fact that both came after the time you'd usually get Crossbows, so they'd counter the strongest units in the game with their high stats quite well. They were such a pain to deal with especially since napoleon loves to spam both - small cities and tons of units.
Persia is just the absolute best. I love playing in a 60 turn golden age
Yeah, their own team bonus+Chichen Itza can ensure a loooong golden age 😂😂👍
The only civilizations I'm afraid to go against are Rome and Russia, so I do my best to defeat them early on otherwise they either beat me through literally beating my civilization to death, or beating me in science points.
Totally agree about Alexander.
I ALWAYS meet him and 2 times of 3 he always betrays me and declare war.
That Iroquois bit was too damn accurate 😭
Yeah he always spams cities like crazy, but ehh he sucks at defending them. He usually will be gobbled up by ais like Shaka or Catherine
Every single time Austria!
Stop anexing your neigbours as some sort of light Venice.
Greece one gave me flashbacks for sure.
I enjoyed. Please do Civ VI next.
I've got a Civ 6 key but I haven't played it yet. (Still achievement hunting in Civ 5.) So doing one for 6 before playing it would be tricky! :P Some of them would feel like the 'Hello fellow kids' meme: "Hello fellow Civ 6 players, how are you doing?"
@@guest273 If you don't do it, I might want to make my own version.
@@chezdude3265 😲
do it.
I can imagine the Civ VI is something like this
Germany: Imagine giving a medieval knight a submarine, that's basically giving Germany it's unique unit.
Byzantium: Deus vult
Kongo: I have all the moment to talk about our lord and savior, or I will denounce you for it
Me: starts game
Polynesia after 5 turns: hello yes you are the last ci I've met in this world
Just finished a Deity Korea game. Diplomatic + Domination victories.
You can get multiple victories.
If you haven't played as Korea, give it a try. Very fun and strong civ.
Strong? That's underselling the OP civ that is Korea...the civ is outright broken!
The description of the dutch is so painfully accurate. I love the visual display of polders yet when I play them... well fuck me, I'll have five polders spread over ten cities or something. If AI plays dutch, they get seven polders at the main city start v.v
Any civilization: Builds wonder
Egypt: hippity hoppity, your capital is now my property
How is it that the game has the Iroquois, Maya, Zulu, Venice, Polynesia, the Shoshone, and a few other largely non-modern or trade-based civilizations but it doesn't have Australia or Argentina in them.
Meh, Australia is boring to play as - too culturally similar to the already existing anglo-saxon civilizations (America and England). Argentina I agree would be a good addition, and so would Mexico, but they'll never do the latter as they always go for Aztecs and potentially Mayans... (which is good from a cultural diversity perspective I guess)
@@Vict0r1984 Mexico slipped my mind, but indeed, it would make a great addition to the game. The Aztecs are of course a staple of the Civ series at this point, but as Civ 5 shows in this very video, we can have both the Aztecs and the Mexicans in the same game.
I disagree with Australia. I feel like Civ 6 did a fine job in separating it from both England and the United States, and their real world geography and history make for a lot of interesting opportunities as far as a civilization goes. But yes, I do agree it is probably the least enticing of the three overall.
@@nicolaszan1845 to be fair I'm probably biased in this because of 2 reasons:
1. Australia is a very young culture and in Civ I tend to play ancient cultures for most of my campaigns (probably the youngest countries I did campaigns with were the Netherlands and Russia - oh, and once or twice the Iroquis, so I guess they'd be the youngest! 😂) Can't really explain it but there is something special in seeing a flourishing sky-scrapper-ladden Aztec/Incan/Byzantine/Roman/Carthagian/pre-Abrahamic Egyptian atomic era empire of 300 million people plus... At least for me there's a kind of child-like joy in imagining how these nations evolved into modern times and how different their societies, values and ethos are from nation-states in our universe.
..
2. I only pirated civ 6 to try it out a few months after release as I had heard mixed things about it, and back then the AI was dreadful. I could crank difficulty up to Emperor or Immortal (you know, the ones at which the AI cheats significantly) and they would usually eclipse me technologically and produce 3 times as many military units, but still be utterly incapable to use siege weapons and conquer one of my cities - is the AI finally good at waging war and can you get destroyed now on the highest difficulties? That wasn't hard in Civ IV and could happen in V, but in VI I felt the AI was so stupid it ruined my game immersion, so I never got to see the expansion that added in Australia and so on... I only played V since and thought maybe I'll get to VI if they fix the AI, but for a long while didn't find anything really suggesting that. Would you say it is decent now and less indecisive in wars?
So 1:05 is a good choice, since there wasn't anything negative said, he's just on a boat
Civ 5 > Civ 6
You can’t change my mind
God this TTS everyone uses is so grating to listen to
Yeah, but it's iconic! I guess these days the google voice lady is also quite recognizable.
My current game Greece keeps trying to bully the shit outta me, I'm creeping out of the renaissance era and still dont even know where tf he is, all I know is when I get my pointy stick survey popup I'm about 2000 ouchy pokes higher than him so idk where hes getting the balls to try and intimidate me. Maybe its because he feels safe hiding in the abyss. It's a pangea map too and I cannot fucking find him 😂
LMAO
I'm in the middle of a Marathon game as the Germans, and that comment about barbarians makes too much sense. I will have to silence you now with 15 former barbarian units.

France in the BNW is so overpowered for culture victories. France and England are always my favourites.
