In a healthy climate fires are perfectly natural, there's even such a thing as controlled/prescribed burns used to restore fertility. The issue is that climate change and negligency can fuck with the rythm. The 100 biggest companies made up for 71% of carbon emissions between 1988 and 2015 and now most of the world is setting up to go through the same process as we have in the west. If we don't make major changes regarding our consumerism culture before 2030 there will be catastrophic climate change.
Yup - some Aboriginal Australians and Native Americans both did this, look up "cool burning." Regular burning on rotation stopped wildfires getting out of hand and restored fertility (especially important in Australia because they're such an old continent their natural soil fertility is super low because no volcanic activity).

30:37 - The Great Scientist was purely more expensive. If you notice, you were in the Renaissance Era, but notice that Dimitri Mendeleev is an Industrial Era great person. Because he's essentially being worked on before their era, the game is slowing down the acquisition by spiking the cost of them. Notice that Napoleon is also significantly higher than most of the other GPs, he's also an Industrial Era one. So basically, the later the era, the most expensive the great person.

There was a time about a year ago when you did slightly less editing and put out a video every day. It was so great to wake up to your incredible game play and fun way of telling the story of the civ. But yes, this is an excellent way to go. Incidentally Indonesia is one of my favorite CIVs especially with the sea pantheon. I love that extra housing and food.

I love these edited lets plays. Often a whole unedited lets play is too long, and makes me think why I am not just playing the game myself. However these edited hour long videos are perfect, as you see the most important and fun parts of a whole game.
All I can think of when you say "delicious scientist" is Kramer putting an ad in the newspaper "For sale, a big juicy van. Interesting trades considered."
Seems like the movement exploit could be pretty helpful for keeping seige units safe. You could use the exploit to move the unit into range of a city, then fire. Seems like it weakens the main downside of seige units. Am I missing something?
Potato- "Let me know if you like these kind of lets plays..." Me- literally watching the whole video, every single second of it. I really like the shuffle mode... Will be glad if you make more of these or more streams fron it. I sadly can't play it myself, I bought only the base game :( considering buying DLCs after I make some more cash for that :D
The reason why you seem to keep getting the same few motifs in your games is because your computer's random number generator doesn't actually generate random numbers. It has a preprogrammed list of numbers that behave mathematically like random numbers when inspected linearly a single time, but as that list gets reused many times you will inevitably notice patterns.

(Giant death robot is cheating... you should try getting a +20 scout and he becomes an early era GDR... kinda' like vampires... ofc key is getting early great generals for that pesky lvl 4- or 3 at the earliest but who doesn't do the hills and forest upgrade first?- upgrade)
