The first time, a video of you was recommended to me, I was like who tf is this guy. Now I can't stop thanking the UA-cam algorithm for recommending me one of your videos. I really love your editing style. And you're videos are funny as heck 😂. Thank you so much for the entertaining content you produce!
Portugal is an awesome civ, I'm absolutely loving the absurd amounts of gold you generate, the extra free trade routes, the extra scouting information with +1 sight, and the fact that you can forcibly put Feitorias in other people's territory is totally awesome. But absolutely none of that matters at all in the face of the absolutely kickass Portugal soundtrack, holy SHIT it's so good I've been putting them in every single game I play (even if it's some garbage landlocked map) because it's just SO DAMN GOOD.
@@boesthius One of my absolute favorites in the whole game by far. There's no bad songs in Civ 6 IMO (except for some atomic themes being bleh but I'll die on this hill) but rarely has there been a civilization that I love every era's theme quite like I do Portugal's.
Got a recommendation for this video and was initially disappointed when it was a twitch vod. Decided to give it a shot and I’m really happy I did. Really great balance of vod and “UA-cam video”.
Might finally try deity with joao! Started a game on king cause I'm not a confident man but man being ahead in everything makes you think you can take on the world!
Firaxis have actually made a minor research error would you believe it? "Large Ben" in Civ is actually Westminster Palace. Large Ben is just the name of the bell in the clock tower
True, but it’s all part of one building. If it was perfectly accurate than the model of the wonder would just be a single bell floating miraculously 300 feet in the air.
I've had 2 sessions of map restarts and have yet to get something I'm happy with after turn 100. I feel your pain, so very, very much. I dont always get to catch twitch, so I'm loving the UA-cam content. Go boes!
@@boesthius it's not as good as it sounds. Even Deity level AI can't figure out how to use the Archipeligo, so they didn't put up much challenge. I'm doing your strat now on Island Plates. I'm miles behind though, I had a bad start and had to use preserves to make good use of desert so am playing catch up now it's gunna be a big 50 turns
Hey, when I first found your channel I thought you were a lot bigger, that's why I didn't sub the first video I watched. I'm so happy I found your channel at 6K!
what game setting would you recommend for a portugal game? my recent game went well, but i still got a bit jelly of your and pb's yields. at the end i had like 1.5k sciecne and close to 1k culture but "only" 7k gpt. I was wondering if i could've done better if i picked a different map type than archipelago. also i didnt play it with monopolies. is monopolies a huge game changer?
Monopolies isn't huge - I would do archipelago and then maybe add some city states to guarantee like culture and science? I rerolled like 30495 times to get an island to myself so that probably helped haha
Hey man, Just got to know your channel through Potato's. I've watched a few videos and I'm now subscribing. I've got a little problem that is irritating me though. I forgot one of the names of the bands I've seen you recommend. I know Abbath, the one I can't remember had a funky name, I believe it was a 2 word name. Do you know what I'm talking about? I'm intrigued
it gives you better starts e.g. less rerolls for a good start, you can set it up in the advanced settings part of making the game to give you like guaranteed strategic resources spawn, etc. i leave it standard in that aspect but it just gives better spawns in regards to tiles and yields, etc.
Great video as always, Boes. Funny to see my twitch chat alter ego on the left. Why did you have to pick "Enlighten me about sinning, Sindaddy uwu" as my one remark to be read out though? lol
Portugal is ultra situationnal. King in archipelagos, but play a continental or pangea and you can get fucke if far form the sea : no nau, no harbor, no feitora, no trade routes = 0 advantages. So in the end only in very specific coniditions that portugal gets good. So more like B tier civ.
You really only need a couple coastal cities. Your trade routes are so bonkers it's just icing if you can double up with harbor/com hub. I would argue that all civs are weak with a bad start. 2 coastal cities on a pangea and you find another civ that has a couple coastal cities and you're good to go. Gonna be slower than a full naval map obviously, but Portugal's only disadvantage is that it can't trade on land. It's A tier even on a bad map, and just broken on any water map imo. I mean Korea is bad if you have no hills, right? Russia is a true B tier where it's OP as hell on cold inland sea, but just decent on any other map.
They're semi-situational but definitely far less than someone like Mansa Musa for example. I would rate them probably low A if I'm going off of the top of my head, but I'd have to think about it a bit more.
Sorry I didn't get back to you! You download them, and then place them in your saves folder. On PC it's on My Documents > My Games > Sid Meier's Civilization VI > Saves > Single > and then you place it in here!
i know im extremely late on this vod, but how did you have a governor in turn 2??? on GS rules in my game, i can only get one once ive researched the first civic that gives them??? Love your vods btw!!
that intro tho pretty much my start playing as portugal pretty sure i tick legendary start on fractal 1st start in pure grassland totally no production 2 on tundra island 3 pure plain not a single forest or wood in sight >< 4th time i actually start i spawn super close to theodoro n persia so both declare early war well i won but totally not because the civ but coz himiko well he super rich tho its spawn requirement seem anywhere as long as beside sea zombie mode very bad they are very very weak i wish they are at the very least as strong as barbarian that actually might give problem this zombie tho never give any problem gezz
Yeah, every Portugal game I've started has been an awful start as well. Thing is, it doesn't matter. All they need is coast and trade routes. With owls and trade route focused policy cards it doesn't matter what your tiles are. I was getting 6 food, 9 production, 80 gold trade routes in renaissance. 12 culture if it was a city state. You want to find one of the weaker naval AIs with a couple coastal cities with a few resources so you can build feitorrias and then you send your 2 routes per city to them to build them up. Trade with city states if you need envoys, ideally you want to suze 2 of each city state type for Kilwa bonuses. Then pick your victory type, either buy units and dominate, or buy great people and win culture/science. You only need 3 districts in each city so it doesn't matter if your cities have awful tiles, just the trade routes will get you to 7 pop faster than you can build the districts. Pick Amani first so you can get owls reliably. Hercules is the best hero for you in most cases, but I wouldn't refuse Sinbad or Himiko early either. Other heroes are situational if you're going domination or culture. Later on pick up whatever random heroes the AI didn't get for the relics and scouting, you don't need to spend production on units you can just buy. By the time you win you're going to be making 3k gold per turn at least, and if you drag it out and never stop settling the sky's the limit. Each city is worth about 500 gold at pop 7 without any bonuses from monopolies etc.
@@boesthius i think the default spawn generation has a problem with giving the player space on coastal spawns or something. i had one good game after an entire evening of fails, and even that game i had a desert next to my spawn and my cities were only good late game. i will be using the better start mod in the future. i also really like your sinbad tactic, i was too worried about missing sinbad so i didnt try before, but with consistently good starts its not so risky anymore
that's awesome! a long time ago everyone in my last Japan name just redeemed channel points to rename all my cities to Fukuoka and variations of it haha
The restarts is what makes the game easy. You need to play out the roll bro. Imagine a chess player forfeiting the entire game because the opening gambit didn't work in their favor.
I mean I used to do that and then found I had more fun lately on stream getting a decent roll going so. Also im not playing a competitive match so it's not really the same~
@@Unconsciouzone That's very true! The title is a bit clickbaity but if I wanted to make it a lot harder there are a bunch of things I could do to make it harder~
It shouldnt be allowed to use a child dieing of a disease crying for help as the first five seconds of an advertisement. I understand it's for a good cause in hopes to help save children like this, but you already hit me with heavy feels with a regular ad of childhood disease, why you gotta go the extra mile to do this to me right before I go to sleep.
You will get very very many views and viewers IF you promise to accomplish something hard in the game and do then you win. If you cannot do it, you shave your mustache and beard.

"Just waiting for Kupe to settle here."
Don't even joke about that. He's the bane of my naval games. lol
even like non naval games you're about to go settle a city - you explore like 5 tiles north and bam a kupe city for no reason.

Man, the sound of portuguese guitar is so awesome, really glad it was included in the game.
It's called fado. World immaterial heritage by unesco. Our very own traditional type of music
I'm glad you included the failed starts :(
The Korea one when she lapped the continent to forward settle you was especially painful :/
