Those last two cities you planned could get a juicy +8 industrial zone if you put two aqueducts and a dam down. There are other places for farm triangles.
even as someone who's played a good amount of Civ, I appreciate these deep dives.
I have 1000+ hours on all my Civ games and I can still watch you play all day!
I never play civ like you do, so all your insight is truly welcome. Your over explained series is great, also for newer players, because you teach some of the advanced basics of the game.
Even to me, who played Civ since 1991, these videos are really helpful.
Keep up the great work Mr.McWhiskey
A few weeks ago you released a video talking about what you wanted from Civ 7. I think a really cool interaction would be if city state's had "sister cities" rather than nation-wide bonuses. Where the early bonuses were stronger, but only effected a single city (or maybe both their sister city & the capital), and then it's only the suzerian bonus that is nation-wide.
Having a larger bonus that applies to a single city could lead to more changes in decision making, rather than being a small passive bonus, as well as creating a more interesting city based emergent narrative. There could also be an additional layer of interaction with the city-specific culture trhat you talked about where the sister-city bonus could also give an additional culture bonus to all citizens from that city (or similar)
Potato, I think you forgot that bees are improved with camps and it's a new amenity on the contentment. The Great Merchant you picked up would be perfect to snag it from Korea's nearby city. The bees man the bees.

loving this series! Also the zooming in editing is really helpful.
Would you prefer more of it?
I'm never sure how much zooming about the place to do. With the smaller UI scaling it's even more of a question. Right now I'm trying to limit it to direct callouts on the income bar and the culture card zooms, but I could easily do more.
@@Morbis I think it's really helpfull for mobile viewers as myself to zoom on specific subjects Potato is talking about that are 'new' to the current playthrough. While I would appreciate some more on the top-bar it is not necessary per se to do all the time and it may be more distracting to desktop viewers who could easily see the details without a zoom. Bit of a conundrum
I think what you did was perfect!
Potato, for the next episode, can you explain how emenities work? It's one of the more complicated mechanics in the game to understand, but it's very important if you want to make & keep a healthy empire.
Did you mean amenities, the things that keep your citizens productive and happy? Or did you actually mean amenitites, as in things that make the AI hate you?
Both are good topics
@@ShadesinMirra Did you mean enmities, as in things that make the AI hate you or emenitites, a word that doesn't actually exist? Both are good topics.
@@danielworden Amenities actually. Darn typos. Thanks for pointing that out
@@ShadesinMirra NP man, all in good fun.
I'm 900 hours in, but I still find your beginners videos useful. It's nice to see how your brain works and a lot of my Civ playstyle has been influenced by watching your channel.
I'm playing a Georgia game right now and restarting every time I fail to get a golden classical age, so this is immediately valuable to me. Thanks for these!
I'd recommend a Classical Dark age with Georgia then shoot for a Medieval Heroic age. From there try to chain Golden ages back to back until the end of the game.
@@eddievedderface oh hey that makes perfect sense
Next episode: Line goes up. And congrats on reaching 300k, Potato! I remember when you reached the 69,420 sub milestone.
21:45 nice one ,A
I'd like to see you do more instructional stuff like this. Listening to you explain the "why" really gives some interesting insight.
"Your empire stands as one." Loved that line! Sounded super epic.
I would love a guide of which secret society matches best with each civ.
Joao or Wilhemina with Owls of Minerva are amazing. Rome or Alexander with Sanguine Pact are great. Ethiopia with Voidsingers are literally unstoppable. Hermetic Order can be really powerful with any civ, but it's a total crapshoot on whether or not you get anything useful.
Wait what on earth are secret societies??

@@benabaxter oooh I forgot I haven't bought that yet. Thank you!
Congrats on 300k potato!!!
Could you do a video with a list of Era score Objectives to get Golden age per Era, on your next playthrough as someone?
Any barbarian camp cleared within 6 tiles of one of your cities. +3 era score
Any district built with an adjacentcy of +3 or more. +2-3 era score.
Meeting a new civ +2 era score
Meeting a new city state +1 era score.
Becoming susuzeran for the first time of that city state +2 era score
Taking susuzeran of a city state from another civ +2 era score
Founding a pantheon +2 or 3 era score.
Founding a religion +2 or 3 era score.
@@thesilentninja9255 That's great but that's not "OVEREXPLAINED"!
@@thesilentninja9255 Some of that information is wrong or incomplete... For example:
-Meeting a new civ is only 1 era score
-Meeting a new city-state does not grant any era score
-The one based on adjacency triggers at +3 for Campuses, Theater Squares, and Holy Sites, but it requires +4 for Commercial Hubs, Harbors, and Industrial Zones, and it always grants 3 era score
-Clearing a barb camp grants era score regardless of whether it's within 6 tiles (but you do get 1 extra score if it is within 6)
-Stealing suzerainty of a city-state only grants era score if you are at war with the suzerain, and doesn't require you to actually become suzerain yourself. You just need enough envoys to tie with them
-You missed other important early game sources such as finding tribal villages (1 era score), discovering natural wonders (1 era score), levying a city-state (1 era score), creating your first naval unit (2-3 era score), and creating your civ's unique unit/building/district/improvement for the first time (4 era score each)
There are other ways of getting era score in the early game too, but they are less common than these. I'll leave a link for the full list: civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Historic_Moment_(Civ6)
@@MunkeeMazik in addition to getting era score for taking suzerainty from a civ you're at war with, you also get era score for causing levied units to stand down (Levied Army Stands Down, vs Enemy City-State Pacified).
@@thesilentninja9255 Thank You :)
My friend and I just got back into civ, and let me tell you, I have been hanging on to every word of yours lol. Went up from warlord to king easy. Thanks Potato!!!
For some reason I thought this video was super old and I felt soo disappointed bcs I couldn't find the continuation. I'm glad I was wrong. 😎🤙🏼
All the more reason to maintain a decent standing military. (25:00, 31:00)
4:44 Coping and seething.
19:15 Pretty much the Supply Crawlers from SMACX.
this series was absolutely addicting to watch, the amount of information that I have gained It feels so exciting, and the possibilities that have opened up for me in my next playthroughs. I was always one dimensional player in civ even tho i've played it for a long time, i'm not logical or analytical when it comes to games like this very smooth brain type gamer. But this was immensely informational
23:30 I did not know that about districts. Holy crap. Thank you!
Love the overexplained series!
Congrats with the 300k❤️
“fun meme game where you can fight people as Gandhi” Sums it up pretty much
Just started playing civ, these are the best videos ive found (i watched a load of them 😅
I like that term, Sim city your way to victory, still learning this game myself, only really done the tutorial, 100 turns of one game to see things, and a second one I'm doing right now just so I can see it through to the end while learning about more end game stuff. I have learned between the 3 is that coming from a more simple war focused game such as advanced wars and wargroove, I dont like combat that much in civ, but its everything else that does interest me. And even though this is only the second video of the set, it has helped me some more understanding things. I fully expect to lose my current game, but I hope it along with these videos helps me learn to do better.
Cannot wait for the next episode my friend!
didn't expect to see Gura there at 21:46 Potatoshrimp confirmed?
The fact that Potato liked my comment gives me a faint hope for Potato Live2D debut down the line...
Thanks for such a comprehensive and clear video! I think Firaxis should have paid you for that))
I think a second part of this series where you go in more of a faith/religion/culture direction would be good to see too but you do already have a lot of games like that.
I love the videos!!! It’s is a little hard to see on my phone now though 🥺. If the scale works for you better then I can live with it. Thanks for the awesome advice on CIV!
I was playing a Khmer game with a spice tile really near to me, and a couple of cities already planned out, AND THE FREAKING MAORI SETTLE NOT 5 TILES AWAY FROM MY CAPITAL!!!
One of the best city state is Valetta their city center and encampment buildings faith purchase option is very OP by the way i opened notification and subscribed you are amazing man thank you very good video ,your explains and gameplay very very good...
congratz on 300k subs man! well deserved
The Gura at 21:46 made me unreasonably happy you love to see it
A surprise, to be sure. But a welcome one. Welcome in the rabbit hole Potato.
I always pick Monumentality because I have no idea how to take advantage of the other Golden age bonuses but good video
34:30 "and then maybe we'll do a fascism push" almost spit my La Croix out.
a I wasn't expecting a shark cameo!
At 32:55 your mouse is hovering right next to a luxury resource that comes from a different continent that you could get for Gwangju. Also wouldn't that great person offer better value by getting tiles from the third row (rather than sending it down to a new city where it would get someone from the second row).
21:46 lmfao. I was not expecting that in a civ tutorial.
gura jumpscare
Bahaha Simon Bolivar asking for 20+ GPT for peace when he hasn’t even seen your empire. The cajones on that guy.
Man, I can play on diety, (although I'm not sure how much QoL mods and such really help with that) but I'm learning so much from this little series.
Also the southernmost city, tundra city has an amazing St basil cathedral (tundra petra)!
Not me taking notes through this like it's gonna be on the test
7:14 You researched 1 more turn of Currency even though you knew you were going to boost it. As far as my understanding of the "science as currency" interpretation goes, you technically wasted a turn of science income. Are you going to dive into boosting strategies in this playtrough? I think it's pretty essential new players understand this.
Civ is one of the only times where the quote: "And then we'll maybe do a fascism push" sounds like a good thing with nothing to worry about.
Can you do a what wonders go with each viceroy type list
My Favorite Viceroy type is Nute Gunray
And mine is viceroy light
I see you are man of culture 21:46
Potato, you chose Pingala for the quick culture and science since your city was already growing super abnormally fast this game. A strategy that I was also told is great is to get Magnus instead of Pingala, for the purpose of upgrading him to the ability to not drain population when settlers are built in his city. What is your view on Magnus versus Pingala for that reason? If, per se, your capital was not as strong as it is. Say it was average, would the Magnus settler idea work better? Also, which is your usual strat: Magnus plus Liang, or Pingala plus Liang, or something else?
Since he started to repeatedly build settlers when got close to housing limit, Magnus probably wouldn't give a lot.
When are you going to improve a tobacco and get the +1 combat strength?
I tried the real world location huge map with the Maori earlier and it was crazy powerful for expansion.
Also: "Maybe we will do a Fascism push" ~~Tater 2022
There might be an economical turmoil but there is no doubt that this is still the best time to invest.
Best time to invest? thats funny though because in the last four months I have lost more than $47,900 in stock market which is the biggest I have loss since I ventured into stock investment.
you could be right or wrong depends on your expertise, I once made such loss when i invested thinking i have gathered enough trading skills from youtube videos
now its a different ball game for me because I was lucky to have met TERESA JENSEN WHITE, a financial manager and stock expert, I have made more than $165,000 in 6 weeks under her supervisions.
Really? people are cashing in from the stock market and frankly speaking its comforting seeing someone admit to the fact that they actually seek help from professionals. please how can i reach TERESA ?
search her name on the internet to reach her
Even though I have been playing for a couple of years, I still pick up new things in all of your videos. The trick is remembering them while I'm playing. I'm still not that good... only playing at King level and currently going down the list of civs. I'm on Kublai Khan (Mongolia) right now. I have had every type of victory except domination so far, and I might try that one when I get to Matthias Corvinus. The religious victory I got with Jadwiga was weird, because I usually just disable religious victories so I don't have to deal with it. lol Hopefully by the time I get done playing every civ at King level, I'll be ready to move up. Thanks for the tips and tricks!
I've found Domination victory tricky because by the time you're crushing everyone that means you are also probably leading in Science and Culture. I've had games where I was shooting for Domination but then it just became far less work to let Culture do the winning for me.
Grant Smith recommended your Civ videos. I had no clue you can swap tiles between cities. As a casual player, I feel like I'm playing this game all wrong.
Losing Temple of Artemis on turn 52 was so painful. Would have been insane in that city.
I didn't know improving a flooded plains tile would summon a lethal apex predator
Very clear ! ty
Excellent videos
21:45 A WILD SHARK HAS APPEARED
That fortify then promote 👌
Can we get potato a potato avatar and make him into a vtuber thank you
There's Whales to the right of your tundra city. Use your Great Merchant to snatch it!
How do you have so many horses????? Is that dlc or a mod? As far as I've played so far (not much), resources don't accumulate like food does
Strategic resources accumulate every turn when you have a relevant improvement on them (pastures on horses, mines on iron, etc). They don't have to be worked, just present in your civ. You also gain resources from any city states with that working resource that you're suzerein of as well as certain policies and Wonders.
Each improvement stockpiles a set amount (i.e. every pasture on a horse adds 2 horses to your stockpile) but certain units and buildings require that resource both when it's built and every turn (eg each coal power station in your civ needs coal to build and 1 per turn to operate). So if you have 2 Collieries (+4 coal?) but 5 coal power stations (-5 coal) you won't accumulate any coal (in this case you'd lose 1 coal per turn from any stockpile you have).
Hovering over the Stategic Resource stockpile at the very top of the UI will give you a breakdown of your incoming/outgoing for that resource.
You can increase the maximum size of your stockpile by building encampments and their associated buildings.
I believe he's got at least 2 horse pastures (+4 horses/turn) but no units that uses horses. There might also be more coming in from city states.
Here's a golden age tip. Always go for purchasing settlers and workers with faith.
I would have deleted the Galley to stop paying money to maintain the unit.
I think he is keeping it to eventually get the shipbuilding tech, though being on a Lakes map that may not be the case
Man talks so fast, I put you on 0.75x speed and it sounds natural :p thanks for the effort you are putting in explaining how things work, I've got 300h in Civ6, and I still learned a bunch of stuff!
can you explain the regional bonuses for industrial zones at some point pls??? thanks
Wish console could handle a lot of cities. At least I feel like a large amount of cities is a big contributor to the game crashing late game. That's stellaris' issue, the calculations every turn for all the planets and population bogs the game down in real time.
I've been spreading my cities out and zooming in all the way before ending my turn and have far less crashes but I can't control the AI spamming cities down. Anyone know whether it's better on series x? Would rather just switch back to pc but have a 6 y/o that likes to game with me.
Noice! 👌

Oh my god please play that Aztec start!! Hahaha
It's funny he mentioned barbs have the disposition to chase players rather than AI and that's always been a huge complaint from me. I've had barbs chase my scouts ignoring AI settlers and builders to just chase my scout. Or even attack my units and ignore AI units so it's like going to war with AI and barba
Also plus 6 indust zone. Between sheep and aquaduct on either side.
Jesus i slept on commercial hubs. I didnt know they give you trade routes, oops :p
21:46 Gura? Why are you here? Is the editor a hololive fan?
Is it just me, or are you playing back the commentary at +1 speed lol
That said, I learn a ton from your videos!
“Ten-oh-shteet-lahn” is how your capital is pronounced
I have not been able to play civ vi for a bit now as it keeps crashing.
Are you on console because the console version is a broken mess that i has been broken since gathering storm, and highly questionable if they will bother fixing it. You just kinda suck it up since it's such an expensive game and stop playing when the crashing gets too frequent.
@@jasonreed7522 no PC.
@@mohalen in that case i have no idea why your game is crashing beyond the generic: possible corruption, mods, bad PC. Only advice i can give is reinstall it and check the forums for others sharing your issue.
@@jasonreed7522 on the boards I have seen many others with the same issue and 2ks uninstall solution is not a solution so far. I don’t know either. Just sucks as I want to play the game.
@@mohalen maybe its the same issue as console after all. I know that even latest gen (xbox series s) which loads it super fast still crashes so they probably have something stupid broken in the engine that they either can't or won't find.
And it does suck, i also just want to play the game without issue.
21:46 wait.. wut is this ?? XD potatos waifu?
Hey, how did You a "refresh" on 27th min after advenced the Pingala?
Should I be avoiding placing districts next to volcanoes at all costs? How bad is it to be next to volcano? What about cities?
Not at all costs - its risky, same as forward settling in the first 50 turns. Depending on the eruption type, because it WILL erupt at some point, you could get pillaged, lose the worker on that tile, lose all improvements on that tile, etc. But once the damage is done, the tile is improved shortly after naturally, like in a flood. Its up to you if that risk outweighs the potentially temporary rewards!
Also, never place a city center by any mountain if you can help it - thats a lost tile in your starting 6 and that can hamstring your tempo options pretty quick
Hi Potato, i really like your overexplained videos! But in this video is cant stop questioning why you did not attack yangsan instead of gyeongju for plundering? Yangsan had a defense of 18 only 4 population and the etemenaki.
Going for Yangsan looks like it would have put Gyeongju "behind" him(sort of) meaning that units could have pincered him leaving him with only one escape!
The whereabouts or existence of Etemenaki was unknown at outbreak of war? OK; rewatched key footage, Etemenaki was discernable through UI; small sliver near open unit frame and turn button.
How does “super-overshooting” the golden age work. I was playing a game yesterday and had around 54/26 in the first era. Golden age but the next era I needed like 100+ era score and it just seems impossible lol
The erascore needed for the next age is determined by your total erascore when the age changes. While i don't know the formula i can say that every point of erascore beyond getting a goldenage makes it that much harder to achieve the next normal or golden age.
If you are overshooting it is a very good idea to force the ages to advance by getting a tech/civic of the next era to start the 10 turn counter.
An interesting strategy can be to dark age to then get a "heroic" age where you make 3 golden age dedications instead of just 1.
Why does Pepe the frog appear at 1:43?
In the video description, can you please provide the Mods list you are using in the game?
Scroll down
You can beat a more technologically advanced civ if you somewhat keep pace and flood their empire with units.
I noticed you put campus' next to volcanoes. Is the higher adjusties worth the possible loss of population and the production cost of rebuilding the district after a eruption?
Yes, generally
I see many pro players go for commercial hubs early on even without golden age. But are they really so important? I mean you of course get a trade capacity, but building the CH and buying or building the market and trader is insanely expensive. Wouldn't you be better of just going for builder or settler?
Money and trade routes is power
Trade routes can make up for crappy tiles and increase tempo, and the gold income from CHs and Harbors just by virtue of existing can be used to rapidly build an army, an economy (other districts' buildings), or harm enemies via direct trading. Gold and trade routes are power, because being able to have good tiles and buy your way out of most situations is extremely invaluable
The liquidity of gold is what makes it so good, where production is locked into one city, gold is mobile across the entire empire
This game is so fun but for me its more complicated than actually coding a website from 0
lol, wild shark appears
Why is a granary a trivial thing to do?
Your voice is from that curly dude from Stranger Things. 😁
I’d quick deal a mod? Or Is new civ expansion?

@@RagdyAndy NGL I saw your original comment in the Studio feed and assumed I had really messed something up 😅
Hang on! He picked Continents map for this didn't he?! Where the heck is the water that usually separates them?! This looks MUCH more like a highlands map!
Nope! He rolled, literally(though, I believe there are 30 maps so it's MUCH harder to find a die that has that many sides, and YES, they DO exist), Lakes! I forgot already but went back to check!
I'm a little triggered that you didn't changed the research from Currency when you were one turn away from sending that trade route and getting that eureka, because that wasted a tiny bit of science..
I know it was hardly any, but can't help being triggered anyway ;)
Tenoch-tit-lan. Lol
"Ten-osch-ti-tlan"
Otherwise, probably the breast Civ 6 titorial I have found.
I have over 100 hours in the game (which isn't much by Civ standards) but I didn't even know the continents only having 4 luxuries, the siege mechanic, and the idea about holding research back one turn.
Yo when is Civ 7 coming out? Do you have an early build? Is it going to be announced anytime soon?
