hey man. You should do more of this style videos where you just wrap up a multiplayer game in a bite size video. Competitive civ is super interesting but those 3-5 hour vods (from you and other creators) is just way to long and yet i'm rarely able to keep up with everything that's going on. 20-40 min videos with commentary would be so much more digestible, and bring competitive civ to a a wider audience. :)
I miss the old Civ multiplayer group: Groove (I know you're on a yacht somewhere sipping some wine and grapes), TaskforceFish, Phillyboy the warmonger, Harambe, Song (before the fall. If you know, you know), General Fox, CanuckSoldier, XTAL, EricTheViking, Apollo, Squeekydoor, Jska, GaelicWarrior, Hannah, Zaozin, Altvillas, Aznacpride, Bladeslinger, Blaze and so many others from pre-2018 Civilization Vi I know some of those still play in CPL and elsewhere, but it's not the same as it once was Glad I found this channel, so much nostalgia from this game Hope Civ Vii hits just as hard as Civ Vi did . . . Without the lobby sim, and without the Discord drama maybe though 🤞
Thank you for your sacrifice noble sir. While this video is of course COMICALLY HUMBLE, it is a shame to see you getting so much shit in your games for bringing the gift of knowledge to the larger Civ community. Personally I don't play competitive, and I sincerely doubt I ever will (I've had enough _competitive experience_ playing Overwatch thank you xD) but I actually really love applying your strategies in co-op lobbies with friends so we can seal-club AIs together better. It ironically spices up the early game quite a bit imo :D
Honestly even though his strategies are very multiplayer focused, the way he explained how gold is the way to enter a positive feedback loop and to really develop your empire, and his general strategic themes work across any modes and even any strategy games.
Basically every one of his strategies that doesn't involve taking advantage of online mode/BBG is applicable to singleplayer. They're very useful even if you aren't a Civ sweat
@@tumescent and using bbg is pretty good in singleplayer, too. ai's use it fine, governor changes are pretty damn fun, balance changes are good. combine with better balanced maps for some pretty op starts and maps.
extraordinary writing, extraordinary editing, and extraordinary humility. Herson is a rising star among content creators. Can't wait to see what comes next
As someone who has really only touched single player Civ up to now, seeing PotatoMcWhisky as an example of a novice definitely brings a smile to my face. Goes to show how different playing with humans is.
Alright man thats enough! Yesterday i got a random recommendation (youre 101 video) afterwards i went on watching some more videos and now i am here and cant stop myself subscribing your channel😂😂😂 This content is just TOO GOOD❤
@@Mrwhoisdreks Gaul pillaged the shit out of me and Norway was my only ally... I was too far behind in tech to do something,however,by the end of the game,I was able to surpass Gaul in techs and even nuked some cities
Wow, really cool game! However, I don't think the situation was entirely unfair. From the perspective of the Gaul and the Norwegian, teaming up against you made sense (and as it turns out, one of them did win). What I don't understand is Sumer. He just chose a side and ended up helping one side to victory without getting anything in return.
This vid was such a banger the fact that you didn’t get a culture victory because you got teamed on literally made me angry. Bro is psyoping my emotional state
...don't forget that Herson is also the humble protagonist, the star of the show, the empathetic emperor who makes the moves to show and prove CPL strategies for the common man. The Civ Hero we didn't know we needed.
This is really neat content. Versions of this happen at all skill levels of the game, so it's fun to see you struggle with this at the higher skill levels as well
Love your tutorial videos and really liked your narration of this game. You have a talent for telling a story. Maybe you can be a commentator for the finals?
Love your vids man, I went from being last in all games with friends to consistently being competitive and actually winning. Would you mind making a dedicated guide on culture victory in multiplayer?
This video is incredible! I am a very casual Civ 6 player myself so I can follow the game for the most part, but the story of how this game played out is wonderful!
Dude, that game was insane! Shame they lowered your ELO after that, not many people could fend off multiple attackers, especially in a situation like yours but oh well, rules are rules. Anyways, to summarize, congratulations regardless of the outcome, your actions were very based B)
Should the game award score for lasting in a war against multiple enemies? It feels weird that a lobby can be like "yeah we will fuck this person in particular and make them lose elo"
Especially in a FFA game. I watched the full vod of this game and was very disapointed it's even allowed tbh, I thought it wasn't really fair-play. But oh well! 😂
Reminds me of a guy I used to play Settlers of Catan with, could always somehow manipulate other players to take his ridiculous trades, not pillage him, celebrate his win.. Infuriating! Looking forward to your commentary though, will be a great watch!
"A super-popular rock band saves nation by performing a concert, raising enough funds to complete the "Giant Death Robot" program." This sounds like the plot summery for some crazy Japanese Anime!
But temporary alliances can enhance the "every man for himself" dynamic as well, no? Take, for instance, the betrayal of Kingu at the very end, which was quite dramatic.
@@KutluKanyilmaz imo it only enhances it when there is someone who has clearly ran away with the game and its a collective effort to maybe try and stop them, not when the favorite to win convinces multiple otehr players to gang up on #2 so that he can have a 100% chance to win. as a side note lets not forget that it was done by a player who was later proven to be cheating in basically every game he ever played, except for the patch when his cheats broke and he had to wiat for a patch to fix them and he took a vacation from playing at that time :D
The fusion in fusionmk is a reference to how he brilliantly fuses FFA and teamers. Can't survive 3v1 late game? Skill issue clearly, just spawn better. All jokes aside I learn a lot from watching both of you. Thanks for all the great videos I can send to novice friends.
Would love to see a video about optimal strategy for hitting eurekas. Playing the vanilla game means free inquiry is a dedication I choose a lot. Just wondering if you have a go-to system for hitting eurekas efficiently. Great channel, even though it's BBG biased your guides are the best on UA-cam. The only down side is my friends won't play me anymore 😢
I've been playing single player in civ since civ2, and I've never had any real interest in multiplayer. After watching your videos though, I'm seriously considering trying CPL
I saw this game on live by andrew's twitch i thought you would've won, you even said ''Why do you lie to anyone else here that you are going to win'' lmao
I see you went with 'the Justicebringer' as 'the Lightbringer' was already taken (don't use the latter, you will make an exotic enemy to say the least).
Too bad you don't have footage of your Nubia game where GoldenRPGs was, as you described, "your own personal Lee Harvey Oswald. Some original Herson Lore from June 30th 2023. ""Despite my best efforts, it seems my life isn't amounting to anything. The one way I can give it meaning is to take the lives of others who actually matter." Your thought process is that of a political terrorist. Many great men lost their lives to people like you - Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, John F. Kennedy, to name a few. Maybe if John Wilkes Booth had focused on fixing his own life, "playing for score" instead of "choosing who he wanted to win", the American South wouldn't have suffered so much during the reconstruction period of American history. I would go so far as to call GoldenRPGs my own personal Lee Harvey Oswald. Some may say it's hyperbolic and in poor taste to compare a civ game to a high-profile political assassination. Indeed, some people may accuse me of being a salty loser, ranting incoherently in the screenshots channel as per usual. Those people, who have never achieved anything in their lives, will never be able to relate to someone such as myself who actually achieved something only to have it ripped away by the Amits of the world." - Herson

This video is much funnier after the andrew controversy
What was the Andrew controversy?
@ herson has a video on it
@@bullethail3875 He used cheats to see the whole map from turn 1
"I assume to role of hero, valiantly entering the fascism government" This whole thing is beautifully written
His humility is legendary....
It’s so sad that the fascist heroes always seem to lose their wars.
@@ShadowReaper-pu2hx Womp womp
Imagine a wall of giant death robots, all blasting the greatest hits of Medieval Beach from their speakers, while they rock your defenses into rubble.
It's some MegasXLR type shit
"HERE I AM! ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE!"
"DON'T STOP ME NOW! I'M HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME, I'M HAVING A BALL!"
"THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES WE CARRY ON!"
This is kind of what the anime Macross is about. All about fighting wars with Mechs and Music Idols
you just described emperors children legion from warhammer 40k
The storytelling. The hype. The strategy. The plays. The honor. The sweat punishment.
Well done Mr. Herson
The most humble video to ever exist
Medieval Beach going on tour to provide it's country with funds for giant robots of destruction is poetry in itself.
hey man. You should do more of this style videos where you just wrap up a multiplayer game in a bite size video.

It's insane to come to this video after the cheating video and see the Andrew name drop. Oh how fast time changes
Nah calling someone an elo pedo is crazy lmao
But it is true. Might be a little harsh but it’s definitely a fitting description
Andrew the type of guy to have 50 terabytes of new civ players on his harddrive
Andrew never beating the infant player killer allegation😂
its even more crazy after andew has been banned for cheating
Elo cheating pedo
4:33 this takes on a whole different meaning now
Turns out suffering doesn't just build character, but also Anime.
Losing some ELO points to get content like this? All part of the hero's journey.
I love this style of video, I think it shows new players how politically in depth civs can be. Great content 🎉
Wait, Jesus H. Christ? JESUS HERSON CHRIST?!?!?!!?
The comments about Andrew are even funnier after the most recent vid 😂😂
Imagine being a Facist Pop music band that tours and your Government charges 25% income tax to fund a nuclear powered death robot army.
W I L D.
Thank you for your completely fair, humble and unbiased video. Justice will prevail in season 3!
Coming back to this post Andrew cheating scandal, it makes his loss even more sweet
Dodging skilled lobbies to farm low elo games while also cheating is crazy.
What have I watched? :D
It's like crazy fever dream, rockbands funding giant death robots, elo pedos, betrayal
Truly it is Andrew's silver tongue and pervasive lies that have lead him to the top of the ranks
Nah, it was cheating
Drew perfect lines to sci city states every game lmao
Had to cheat to beat Herson shm
In TWO WAYS!
10/10 story
This is exactly why you deserve all the success you’ve seen recently, such humbleness truly breeds good karma

I like Potato McWhiskey, but seeing you mock him at literally EVERY available opportunity is still hilarious.
"Japanese suffering leads to the ruse of the arts"
This made ne burst out laughing. Continue being you, and keep these low blows coming.

Not sure what I was expecting when I clicked on this video but I'm glad it was this.

Interesting re-viewing this video after the cheating scandal
re-watching this for the 3rd time after recent Andrew allegations :)
It's fine everything will be fixed in Civ7.... Right?
skill issue
Well Andrew got his come up ins
comeuppance*
Unfortunatly now I wont be able to watch Andrew lose
Should the game award score for lasting in a war against multiple enemies? It feels weird that a lobby can be like "yeah we will fuck this person in particular and make them lose elo"

I appreciate the No Game No Life Music that happens around 6 minutes
noob farming is ok, to each their own, but that blatant teaming in a FFA game should be something thats bannable
This 100%

Wasn't there a rule against teaming up?
It was FFA game, free for all

I've been playing single player in civ since civ2, and I've never had any real interest in multiplayer. After watching your videos though, I'm seriously considering trying CPL
Woah this is such a fun watch! What happened to decide the final placements other than first? Was it score?
Yes, when the game reaches a victory screen, score is used to determine placements beyond 1st
Save us Savior of CPL
This is the best civ 6 video of all time
Civ has never gone so hard
Showing up as an example of the terrible players Andrew farms ELO from did not feel great 😅
I was CACKLING throughout this video! asdjbgasbgd, so well done. I loved all of it
I saw this game on live by andrew's twitch i thought you would've won, you even said ''Why do you lie to anyone else here that you are going to win'' lmao
Using fighters like that, to block the movement of ground units, reminds me of Advance Wars. You can do the same thing there.
Love these videos. Why didn't you make nuclear weapons yourself though for deterrence?
3:50 he says how good he is but then embraces fascism xD
Andrew out here costing you a win for 4th place from 5th truly he is the best player out there
fantastic video
