Take me down to the water horse city - where we ride on hippos and we feel so pretty!
Oh won't you take me to ROME ohhommme oh yeEEAaahhh.
Just don't go on a crusade to Sweden. They've got some crazy, immortal, warrior-queen up there.
Edit: Never mind.
This is what I scrolled through the comments looking for, lol.
I laughed way too hard at this.
Pippi Longstockings?
i didn't get the joke and instead went way back to Ryse SoR and thought Elephant-riding Buddica
@@sponge1234ify Well you really should watch his CK3 series. The story of Olaf and Ylva (and the one we don't talk about).
Things Jon got wrong, Civ 6 Edition:
1) 20:10 The units you get from Hippodrome buildings are free in terms of _resource cost_ not money. So you can build them without horses and etc, and tanks etc don't use oil (which is actually quite handy) but they have their normal maintenance cost.
2) 31:45 Holy Cities always exert pressure from their religion even if it doesn't otherwise exist, so even if the religion has been eradicated it has a chance to come back. That said, the pressure usually isn't really enough to overcome all the pressure of whatever religion has replaced it, so it rarely matters
3) Jon appears to have entirely forgotten that Byzantium spreads religious pressure by killing units (even though he can see it happening in front of him, but hey that's -1 Perception for you). This is a lot cheaper faith wise than sending missionaries and it's definitely better to _not_ pre-convert in Dramatic Ages mode because you get a lot of Era score for converting cities of someone you are at war with (35:31). That said Crusade does give some reason to pre-convert regardless, but you only really need to convert the border cities - the very act of taking them will cause your religion to spread further into the enemy empire.
I'm no classicist however, after you explained the joke, I found it quite good. Well done.
a landlocked Constantinople is an uncomfortable sight
No man or woman can compare with the greatest Roman emperor that ever lived.... Julianus Vetinius
Well what happens if I knock on his door with a heavy Cavalry horse powered battering ram
So glad to see you playing Civilization, MATN! Would love to see more of it!
He had a whole series when it dropped and a livestream size!
7:14 That's a peninsula and not an archipelago Jon.
Archipelago: "A group of small islands or an area of sea in which there are many small islands."
Peninsula: "A long piece of land that sticks out from a larger area of land into the sea or into a lake."
A sudden attack overcoming meagre dutch defences? Burning Rotterdam to the ground? Are you sure you arent playing as Germany?
Some joke about roman empire vs the holy roman empire
@@heykak obligatory mention of that old quote by some euro guy about how the Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, Roman, nor an Empire.
Jon, I have had a terrible day at work. This has brightened my day so much. Thank you (and Claire and Tabby) for being wonderful.
"Nether regions" would also be an acceptable insulting Dutch city name
Jon: "Begin the aggressive spreading"
Me: "Get your mind out of the gutter Jon!"
Things Jon doesn't know about Civ. You can stop your cities from revolting by stationing troops in them. Losing Arnheim wasn't necessary. Tilburg didn't need to be razed either, it's not like his army was spread out too thin, it was all centered in that area, would have been easy to leave troops in the city for a few turns until the unrest died down.
"Look, it's funny if you're a classicist."
This is why I love Jon. 🤣
Hippopotapolis might be your greatest work yet
I LOVE the complicated river horse pun!
I'm the hip hop opotomus my lyrics are bottomless hot like phosphorous popping off from the top of this esophagus, i'm not a large water dwelling mammal from Africa who moved to the metropolis where did you get that preposterous hypothesis, did Steve tell you that?
"We lost out on the Oracle by one turn and I am furious" Yeah that sounds about right for a Civ game.
Note when you look at the world ranking and hover over "domination victory", it counts the number of foreign capitals you have captured first, military strength second, so at 53:40, you would have to look at the others military strength too, if you want to make sure you actually have the most military strength. Because it just counts "Jon have capture 1 foreign capital, he's leading" while everyone else (probably) have capture 0. But the runner up could have 350 military strength, and thus more than Jon.
Many players miss this feature: if you turn on the ribbon in the options menu, you'll have an always-on-screen summary of each civ's situation (score; total military strength; science and culture income; current gold, faith and favours) to find the wealthiest trade partner, help you better know what to expect of them or decide who might be the biggest threat or the easiest snack.
Lmao never enough Rome or Crusades for this channel
Hah, man what a hilarious coincidence. I just accidentally became a new Roman Emperor in CK3 today
Dude, achieving that is so fucking hard, congrats!
I'm working on a grand repaganisation of the world including a Pagan owning all of Rome and the HRE right back to when they owned Constantinople its taking a while.
I feel kind of embarrassed hearing that its hard. When I say accidentally I mean, like
My ruler's maternal grandfather did the whole meritocracy thing to get a pressed claim on the Byzantium throne, then started a faction to put me on the throne, and when pressed the aging childless queen with a dead husband just gave it over. I was trying to claim parts of Italy so I could get Venice and then just... boom. I'm an Emperor without having done anything
Thats some luck. My biggest setback is location. I start off in scotland, form the empire of brittany, and work my way from there. Not easy carving that path.
Heh yeah that's what I was trying to do. But then the 1.1 update came along and now I can't play the game :(
29:49 Jon when he enters a car dealership
I just want to say how much I appreciate Jon's River Horse City pun.
This isn't empire total war
We know that ya fool!
It's obviously Age of Empires III
@@metetural9140 We must campaign for an Empire Total War series!
But when Jon plays ... he'll opportunistically accumulate no matter how bad his strategic position is as a result
You'll be tried in the Hague for this!
Can't go to the Hague if there's no Hague
*taps side of head*
Or if you own the Hague.
'Yeah, there's a lot more we can do, that's why I've brought a priest.'
FEAR.
33:00 king Basil or... Basileus?
Correction: the Varangian guard was founded by Basil the first who was this Basil's great great grandfather. By the time Basil the second was coronated the Varangian guard was already a well established century old institution.
Let's goooo, another great video, you can tell because it's from ManyATrueNerd.
Suggestion for future titles for videos where you focus on a religious faction you get to make "Tabbyla Rasa"
Yaah neerd, loving all these different strategy games.
Darn you Jon, making me want to play Civ again!!!
Hipapotapolis, the clip-clop metropolis
First! Whooo! Keep it up man, much love from the town next to where Dan lives in Essex (Benfleet)
Can we just have a video of Jon explaining classical puns
Im surprised byzantiums leader is basil II and not justinian the great, the man who reunified north africa under rome, defended off the sassanids, and a revolt in constantionople, and even reunited italy and the city or rome back to the romans
Justinian has already been featured in a Civ game, though, and the developers seem to like spreading the love around.
@@ec06aaj i guess, also i dont play civ games that much thanks for telling me
or Alexios Komemnos
There's a lot of impressive figures to choose from in Byzantine history. Justinian and Basil II aside, some other obvious choices include:
Heraclius (610 - 641): saved the Empire from the Persians after nearly thirty years of war
Leo III (717 - 741): successfully defended Constantinople from an Arab siege and, again, saved the Empire.
Constantine V (741 - 775): Leo III's son, fought many battles against the Bulgars, rebuilt the Aqueduct of Valens, created the _Tagmata_ and was otherwise successful in nearly everything he tried.
Constantine VII (944 - 959): the archetypal Byzantine Emperor, an intellectual palace creature whose writings are among the most defining for our modern understanding of the Byzantine world.
Nicephorus Phokas (963 - 969): The infamous "white death of the Saracens", a ruthlessly efficient general who reclaimed Cilicia, Crete and Antioch for the Empire, and reduced a hostile Emirate based in Aleppo to a client state.
Alexios Komnenos (1081 - 1118): brought an end to the post-Manzikert crisis and launched the Empire into one last period of resurgence before the decline became terminal.
@@olefredrikskjegstad5972 Good list. If you include Nikephoros Phokas, you might as well include the excellent John I Tzimiskes who replaced him. Nikephoros Phokas, John I, and Basil II are considered the apogee of Byzantine power.
Jon I knew there was something I liked about you. “Tabbyism” made me chuckle, my religion in every CIV 6 game if I get to start one, is “Lionism” same picture of course. Brother!
Aye a new series on Rome let’s go
Poor Thomas.
there's a series of novels by John Ringo. the Paladin of Shadow series. about a James Bond-esque former Seal turned mercenary(likely a Mary Sue for the author) who winds up as a feudal lord. passing thru the Ural mountains, he buys an ancient caravansary that comes complete with a tribe of blond-haired villagers. guess who these guys are. yep. descendants of the Veringian Guard.
27:00
How about Netherland Delende Est?
'My glory'
-Tot Boy(2020)
A new crusade??? Let’s go and make giga Rome
I love how intelligent and eloquent jon is. But im too drunk to follow it right now
Yes, the Water Horse City pun is hilarious to Classicists.
Civ isn’t a game
It’s a way of life
Why oh why oh why... did you not move your governors around to help with loyalty when taking the Netherlands? They give +8 loyalty as soon as they’re assigned
NeverNetherlands is a slightly better option for that city rename.
Any idea on what you're doing for 500K?
Nice! Would love to see more civ
This feels like an extended Spiffing Brit exploit video xD
You killed the Netherlands exactly at 1000 AD and didn't notice?
This was epic
Hey Many, i ve got a question, why i cant buy polish dlc on epic games store? I can do it normalny on steam but i have game on epic, what should i do
Jon we need civilization 6 stream
I feel bad for the Netherlands in this game because *damn* those where some good lakes for making polders
Really? An English person will make fun of Romans for calling hippos river horse... Pineapple, everyone?... You know, the thing that's called ananas
@CharlieKirkIsACanadian 🤷♂️ was joking
There's a joke about save a hippo, ride a ---- in there somewhere, I just can't think of it...🤔😁
Where's Thomas when you're looking for him?
I was disappointed that there wasn't any Greek Fire. Cataphract's and flame thrower's. Oh my. Trampled and burnt.
Love it
A crusade you say? Well, now you're speaking my language!
Commenting for support
They just announced a free pirate update. Are you going to show that?
Why not Hippopopolis?
Ooh, more Civ 6? Love it!
LETS GETTTTTT LITTTT🌟
John please do a series of newer Rome Total War titles! Please!
Should have named it 'nethertheless it's Tabby's'
Wow keep this up, 1 min into the video and I need another video after this
Pedantic comment of the day: the pronunciation of Vercingetorix hurt me
Aye got this game last week
Basil is a great choice, but I would've loved to have seen Justinian or Theodora.
Or even both of them!
Maybe all three
Wasn't Theodora in Civ 5?
@@metetural9140 Ah you're right!
I never played 5
Sorry to all my Dutch viewers... Thomas rolling his eyes and sighing and tgen crying into a corner...
Basil II? well I guess those Bulgars better run
No secret societies 😕
New series of Civ 6? I bet I am in alone preferring a series of Rome 2, considering Jon has never played it on the channel.
Should have renamed the Netherlands to the Nether regions
Day 155 of requesting zoo tycoon. Didn't the Byzantines learn from the LAST time Jon saved their bacon?
Also: going by a name from a different source now
YESSSSSSSSSS
Jon, you should play Fall Guys Season 2 with Dan and Matt.
*sips his Yorkshire tea and nods approvingly* Perfectly balanced.
👋This is cool video
Basil 2 Wilhelmina 0
Hi
Crusade is stupidly overpowered when playing Basil
Really Jon? Burning Rotterdam to the ground? I think the Germans beat you to it
Too bad they are making the ai value diplomatic favor less in the next update
4th
Wow, Civ put a European nation with a male leader in the game? That's unironically progressive for that game.
Now I'm not sure whether you dislike the amount of female characters in this game, or the amount of male characters in the rest of history... :)
Ahhh, Emperor difficulty.
I feel so superior after winning my first 5 deity games in the last days. And I know that sucks. A lot. But I dooooooooo... I doooo... I had that stupid "ah yeah, emperor, uhuh uhuh", sipping on my imaginary tea, when I went to that part of the video.
I mean, it's no fun to play deity. At first. You really need to micromanage shit, react to everything that happens, have a loooot of luck (twice I had a godlike start, then two neighbours in the next 8 tiles, and both decided to attack, when I had the first guy under control the second guy declared, nothing at all to do there, tried to be friendly, but couldn't sell anything, so war on turn 20 and I did go for slinger warrior after the scout when I saw the first guy settle 4 tiles from me :D after 5 turns :D), and finish it out effectively. But hell, I had a turn 221 culture victory yesterday and it felt great. Could have gone sub 200 if I went to close-out-mode earlier, but I built some banks and harbour stuff because I didn't think it was actually over so soon.
It's really a great game. Started Civ with this one, no experience before - but I always loved those kinda games, Anno 1504, AoE, those kinda stuff. Loved to see a game like that on PS4, and it really really is a great game from the start - I loved to build everything, wonders, teer three buildings on every district in every city, until I saw the "you lost" screen in my first games. Then I started to see through the win conditions, hated (and still hate) religion, won several domination games because of culture and had no idea why, but I loved it. Then I looked at some youtubers playing civ, learned a lot, and well, now I play deity. It is really, really deep and I love that. And I feel like they made the highest difficulty a real good challenge. Tough, but beatable. The whole difficulty setting is quite good - to win constantly on a difficulty, you need to know stuff. To win the next difficulty, you need to know more. And there's not a single way to win it, you can win it by different approaches. Get high production citys which will win you the thing longterm, while you're planning ahead a long time - very possible. Completely bypassing industrial zones - absolutely doable (well, not on a space race). The higher the difficulty gets, the better the AI gets (by getting more and more bonusses) and the more you need to look at what you yourself are doing. And there's always a completely new game, since you need to use what the map gives you in each and every game.
Just a great game. What's 10 hours for one single encounter? ;)
