Just wanted to comment to say I appreciate the no alternate mode games - I know others enjoy the secret societies etc , and I don’t mind them too much but a Normal game is lovely too :)
Absolutely. Especially SS and H&L just completely break the game. It's fun to play that kind of a game every now and then but what comes to these videos, vanilla is so much more enjoyable to watch.
@@SmallPotato2313 I haven’t gotten to that point as of commenting this but I kinda like it when he savescums cause he makes it funny when he does literally every time
@@SgtVeritasit is removing a feature from a tile with a builder. you can remove woods or stone for production, jungle for food and production, wheat, marsh, etc. for food, and some features yield gold when you chop them.
@@SgtVeritas Because you gain tempo. Tempo is incredible valuable as you get a big boost NOW with which you can do useful stuff NOW instead of slowly trickle over 30 turns until improving pays off.
18:40 I think this is a big part of why I enjoy Potato’s stuff. He plays like a person having the most fun, instead of somebody constantly maximizing optimization
I think it's something that really should be embraced more. I don't particularly mind seeing a very late game loss if the play and game were fun to watch
17:23 IT ALWAYS HAPPENS!!! The 1 turn Wonder steal... Damn just watching this happen with Potato hurts so much. The fact that he is playing Egypt of all Civs only extra salt in the wound!
Getting wonders like Etemenanki, Pyramids and etc. often (I find) requires sacrificing your entire super early game by skipping out either double scout or settler or just generally stuff that doesn't feel good, because AI just speedruns it.
That's why Potato doesn't do it too often! The one game he DID as China I believe he also played on whatever difficulty is just before Deity, I think it's Emperor so the AI didn't do quite such a big push for wonders!
Other factor to consider on the Linag vs Magnus discussion. Although Liang allow more chops, you are limited by the number of available chops on the map. Magnus increases the value from those chops.
I don’t remember the last time I was able to get etemenanki sadly. The ai boosts in addition to them not needing to worry ab man power or settling makes it impossible to guarantee you’ll get it. Even playing with 1 scout to 1 settler opening I feel like you can’t guarantee it
I just played a game with Ramses yesterday, my first time playing Egypt. I am still playing on King difficulty because im relatively new to the game and try the new civs to me first on King, only played Barbarossa on higher. And i can say that I absolutely feel the early game you got here. I also put Liang in Thebes and Magnus in Memphis my first two cities with the objectives of getting the wonders as soon as possible. I also failed getting the Etemenaki and Pyraminds :( Some AI built them before me, i used that production for some other wonder..... Sucks to not have pyramids as Egyptians. I try to use the "chop" strategy you mention before placing districts, trying to time it with the city's production queue so i can get that district faster. But that's all I've managed so far, chopping woods to get out wonders faster, the way you did it blew my mind right away! Maybe i could've secured the pyramids that way.... A religion was also very good for the run, i made a holy site in third city, which kinda slowed things, maybe i got away with that on easier difficulty, but the wonders give almost bonkers stats combined with the sphinx..... One mistake i did was that i took the Lady of the Reeds and Marshes, though it was still pretty good, i got a LOT of value out of the desert floodplains and all the marshes i had in my first two cities. Just sucks that i didnt manage etemenaki. (Even as egypt, my first city was basically just on the tundra border, same with second, so marshes helped in the southward expansion too). In the end, it was pretty fun, I actually got to make the Valley of the Kings, but with wonders, was fun :) Also chuckling while seeing an Angkor Wat in the middle of the desert Thanks for this video! It's really educational in how I could've improved on it and me those wondrous wonder vibes :)
Oh my god I just realized something. The tall lake at east side of the map provides greatest spot I ever seen to build a canal Like its godly! Like, settle in middle of lake and coast(Its still fresh water too) , build 2 dams, settle at the other end of lake and you got greatest connection for navy. Civ is not great for navy I admit but it can be an amazing trade city if he does that. And if he ever feels like he needs to protect his seas he can literally dominate both side of the shores easly 31:57 look at that!
I love the idea that the Pyradmids were a single block from being completed, but some other random civ that is not egpyt completes them by a single block and then this entrie structure just vanishes out from years of toil and hard work. POOF, side note, do you know what other civ beat you to the pyramids in the game?
On 31:06 you might have wasted a chop ;( You got a lot of production stored up from a lost wonder and I'm pretty sure it can't overflow. Great video, had no idea Ramzes was this good!
Here's to hoping You can actually see the Stonehenge tile in Rakadet. The rainforest on flat grasslands south west of the southern stone. When you were talking about the golden age buff my though process would have been this: "I don't have any Faith, but if I get a Religion I can get the "wonders give +4 Faith" belief, to set myself up for a super monumentality in the next Era, which WILL Golden age from wonder spam" Tough doing that would have probably meant that you didn't have the resources to scare off Russia by buying those Archers.
This happened to me yesterday, I was building Broadway and used a great engineer and I only had one turn left to build the wonder and someone else got it first.
Love all of your videos. I learnt maths better than in school 😂. Although my maths teacher would have propably expelled you from this 1 turn pyramid miscalculation. Keep up the good work!
Day 2504: We have done it. Many of us have died , but we finally built the pyramids; only one brick remains and it's finished!. Our pharaoh will reward us with our freedom, at last! Oh wait, someone beat us to it. Scrap the whole thing, pharaoh doesn't want them anymore
I'd play the same game, but have 4+ barbarian outposts spawn 3 tiles from my cities. It's truly amazing to see you go so unharassed by barbs in all your games.
Had extra faith from a natural wonder and was next to desert with load of mountains. Someone else got desert folklore before me. Had to reset and optimise to get the tobacco for an extra faith. Found it it was Cleo. Declared war.
maybe a stupid question, but i would really like to know the answer. at 26:10 he queues archery then wheel. what is the keybind to queue techs/civics? i dont have any of the dlcs and am new but play with friends. anyone know?
Ethenanki, Pyramids and Stonhenge don't exist in Deity, the AI is always at least one turn forward than the player for their construction. I think it's worse since the recent update where they change the Ai behaviour to not so hard focus on campuse, instead, they snipe every religion and every early wonder (execpt for TOA, which remain strangely easy to grab). I just think it's unwise to set a BO around any early wonders in Deity, as the AI will always steal them away from you
Ra Kedet has the potential for an absolutely epic harbour + commercial hub triangle, with the commercial hub receiving adjacency from both the river and the oasis!
This is a science leader. You can just build industrial and science districts and don't care about culture since you are getting it though construction. Going for a science victory usually gives you more production anyways so its optimal for getting that bonus as much as possible.
Good luck with this one.. My first try I was 3 turns from Culture victory when Kupe science victoried.. But I just culture victoried last night while the AI was still 3 full bars away from science. The wonders (I had maybe 9 or 10) and the sphinx help, but national parks were needed, too. Wish you were here is what put it over the top.
Loved this start, Potato, can't wait to see the next videos! What's the mod you use to get those Grassland Jungles and Plains Marshes? I think the mix of different base tiles for features is good for the game.
In the situation at 17:00, do the era points for finishing the pyramids count for the NEXT era if this happens in exactly that turn when the new era starts?
Had to come back to this series to watch again because almost every single civ series potato plays has lots of wacky mods and the game modes that I can't stand.
Oh life is bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spot-light Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper, of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no I've said too much I set it up Consider this Consider this the hint of the century Consider this the slip That brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come Flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream That's me in the corner That's me in the spot-light LOSING MY RELIGION Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry, fly, try That was just a dream Just a dream Just a dream, dream
Hey Potato, could I ask a question? How come you never put down industry’s? I always do as it’s a nice city boost plus a cheap way to increase great engineer points later on
Industrial districts are great for helping dom and scientific wins. Not so much for everything else which he seems to aim for. The first 2 districts really set the tempo for what your victory type. District #3 is typically the last realistic one you will get that will get you alot of worth from it. Obviously this is dependent on your civ and yields but by the time district 4+ comes around, you're a hundred+ turns into your game and on diety, it's very hard to claw your way back. So long story short. Taro seems to have preference for cultural wins. Industrial zones dont help much with that. The first 3 districts you place will be your key ones and will likely be the types to helps you towards your goal.
My favorite Egypt play was a Great Bath rush with lots of "non-traditional" faith generation from the Bath, Sphinxes, and Preserves. I used all that faith to feed my Jesuit Education and Monumentality golden ages
I’m surprised Civ hasn’t made Solomon from Israel. Would be fun to play! He was the wealthiest leader in the world and traded with all the nations at the time. Built a wonder of a temple.
I hate the mechanic with the wonders in all civ games, like imagine we build a super spaceport outside Earth and some random Alien shows up to tell us it's already built 50 LY away, so we can't build that anymore. Like WTF? I hope in the next civ game, they change it so that if you are later than others to complete a wonder, you get to keep the wonder, but with a reduction in the wonder stats.
Just noticed Stonehenge is still available at the end of the video, and you have a stone in Ra-Kedet, so a religion might not be totally out of the question.
that sounds like flat out cheating? I can understand if wonder is in vision and it tells players minimum percentile from its visual thats fair but it flat out telling sounds hard cheat XD
I play civ casually, so that would be nice to know if I need to focus on chopping out a wonder, or if I can just let it go. Everyone plays civ differently, so a mod like this isn't cheating for us casual gamers. Video games are about enjoyment, after all.
@@Kodyopolis I think even if you are playing casual instead of "Russia will build X in 4 turns" it should be "Russia built atleast %25 of the wonder", only updates with visual cues of wonder
@@makaramuss I think that's fair. Could be cool to have different levels of it. Major detail "4 turns for x wonder", moderate detail "25% completed", and minor detail "Y has begun building x wonder"
Love these vids. I cant understand why Im always squashed between 2 ai civs whenever I play deity. Even if I remove one to create more space Im placed right next to them anyway.
I don't know what Map Tacks MOD your using but I can never get mine to work. I'd also like to add, that if you could do a video on what MODs and how you get them all to work, that would be an awesome video.
I disagree it feels like this leader is like "invest in wonders" mandate of heaven is more about investing in builders to prepare a wonder rush. Like as example you start by getting a builder and when you start a wonder you build in in 5 turns moment you get the technology/culture this leader is like "ok, I need to maximize my production so I can rush this wonder, I can't prep it ahead. Instead I get a boost to allow me to start earlier." I will say this: Having china while playing this civ will be annoying since Qin builds first wonders faster and that can cause you to lose all of the tempo in fact that might be reason he lost the first wonder. Most likely it was china
We're one production short Marty. We need to go back.
I know we just needed this one little stone to finish it but hey someone else has built it before us. Okay boys lets tear it down!

I recently started playing CIV 6 (no experience with CIV since 3 and currently playing on PS4), what does it mean to "chop" and why is it useful?
@@SgtVeritasit is removing a feature from a tile with a builder. you can remove woods or stone for production, jungle for food and production, wheat, marsh, etc. for food, and some features yield gold when you chop them.
@@Theodorejz I always just improve them. My thinking is that a long term boost is better than a one time boost.
Why chop when you can improve?
@@SgtVeritas
Because you gain tempo.
Tempo is incredible valuable as you get a big boost NOW with which you can do useful stuff NOW instead of slowly trickle over 30 turns until improving pays off.
@@SgtVeritas in civ 6, chopping can be a huge 1 time production boost that could be the difference

Ramses is the most lore-accurate implementation of the Door Monster Civ-video: "Except Egypt, they just.... built things"

love then new vid looking firward to the next, just wish he had gone with the no monumentality
There is a mod that lets you know if the AI is building Wonders and how many turns away that are. It's called Detailed Wonder Reminder.
that sounds like flat out cheating? I can understand if wonder is in vision and it tells players minimum percentile from its visual thats fair but it flat out telling sounds hard cheat XD
Is that not just cheating? 🤨 I can't see how that makes the game any more enjoyable, you're removing a core aspect of the challenge of the game
I play civ casually, so that would be nice to know if I need to focus on chopping out a wonder, or if I can just let it go.
Everyone plays civ differently, so a mod like this isn't cheating for us casual gamers.
Video games are about enjoyment, after all.
@@Kodyopolis I think even if you are playing casual instead of "Russia will build X in 4 turns" it should be "Russia built atleast %25 of the wonder", only updates with visual cues of wonder
@@makaramuss I think that's fair. Could be cool to have different levels of it. Major detail "4 turns for x wonder", moderate detail "25% completed", and minor detail "Y has begun building x wonder"
what's with the rivers on this map
This but apocalypse mode and you spam soothsayers and flood yourself into an unlimited food tall build
lol Potato talks himself outta religion again... probably for the best, don't want to super charge the wonders too much!
Love these vids. I cant understand why Im always squashed between 2 ai civs whenever I play deity. Even if I remove one to create more space Im placed right next to them anyway.
I don't know what Map Tacks MOD your using but I can never get mine to work. I'd also like to add, that if you could do a video on what MODs and how you get them all to work, that would be an awesome video.
he is playing like he is china with the amount of wonder and it is great.
I disagree
it feels like this leader is like "invest in wonders"
mandate of heaven is more about investing in builders to prepare a wonder rush. Like as example you start by getting a builder and when you start a wonder you build in in 5 turns moment you get the technology/culture
this leader is like "ok, I need to maximize my production so I can rush this wonder, I can't prep it ahead. Instead I get a boost to allow me to start earlier."
I will say this: Having china while playing this civ will be annoying since Qin builds first wonders faster and that can cause you to lose all of the tempo
in fact that might be reason he lost the first wonder. Most likely it was china
Have we got any starting seeds for this one?
It's always good to be reminded Potato is like the rest of us and slapping reload occasionally.
