Finally!!, I have been waiting for so long for this civ. You are one of the best content creators for civ, learnt alot about it from you. (Huge fan from Pakistan)
Actually in the original lore Mulan came from the Northern Wei, which had nomadic roots. Their emperor held the double-titles of "Son of Heaven" and"Khagan". The Xianbei tribe where she was from was famed for their horse-archery. So Mulan fighting for the Kublai's Mongol still kinda make sense.

Consider taking Amani as your first governor in H&L mode; you get a hero reveal automatically with each city state suzerainty. So Amani represents a "free" heroic tale every 5 turns assuming you can get 1 more envoy from either tech, meeting bonus, or quests. The opportunity cost of your first governor title is almost always worth the 2-4 hero reveals you get out of it; especially if you get Himiko or Hercules.
so..... you want us to share the seeds where we landed in a tile featuring 3 nearby volcanos that would effect the city then. Makes pompeii look kind. Try the more newer world set up with disaster at max and just deal with the pain. you will do better with it then the AI will.... lol. If you want a challenge. Make the planet hostile. Very hostile. rampaging barbarians. etc.
just play a China Khan game. so much fun. played on Prince, but was way too easy, I cant believe Im winning King and Emperor games now. thanks again. The community surrounding Civ6 makes the game that much better. I watch all you guys. im having a blast. great content.
I was playing as Kublai, and interestingly enough if you conquer the city you send the trade route to, you get another set of Eurekas, I haven't tried it but this might mean that you can repeatedly conquer a low population city, send a trade route to it, get another set of eurekas, declare war again, repeat.
Maybe you can get a group of friends, play a multiplayer game, but then halfway through the game, you all save the game, reload it, and swap positions with another player for the second half. Now that would be some chaos
Hey Potato, been following your content since Civ 6 came out and I just want to say the new editing style really makes your series more digestible, and I appreciate the humor that the editor brings
I think if you went into masonry earlier for the battering ram, you would have saved yourself a lot of time against those city walls. You could of bought it in one of the cities you captured.
This is a really great opening game. A challenge to be sure, and one I’m not sure many in this community could’ve done, but you pulled it off and your endgame is looking incredible
I got an insane start with Ethiopia, I started right next to a city state so I got a settler for free turn 1, I found a natural wonder and some really good tile yields... also I got the Great Bath on Apocalypse so I’m insanely OP lol
I wish there was a scheduling board to know when you will be livestreaming! I love watching your replays and learn so much. In fact, when I play, and make a mistake, I hear your voice correcting me... LOL!!!
Not sure if potato is going to see this, but I wish he explained his thought process behind that particular first city settle, it doesn't look that awesome to me. He's way better than me at civ though, don't get me wrong, I'm genuinely curious.
@@alexgreenwood9575 I mean the capital, yeah. That's still like a city off fresh water, I understand why you'd want those culture tiles, but somewhere near the coast would make more sense to me
This video just flew by. Excellent gameplay. Also good editing, I think McWhiskey has an editor now or a new one or something, I remember him saying something about that. Anyway, yeah good gameplay and some risks with the early aggression but if you can roll on that first civ early you pretty much are going to win the game in my experience.
Another fantastic video, you are a better man than I when it comes to grinding out a tough game. I would have rage quit about 74 times in that war with Canada
I swear Kublai's starts are blessed. I started my first game as him next to the other China, proceeded to defeat them and built my government district on top of their conquered capital for flavor.
hey man! i love your recent editing and whatnot but there is a clear divide between your older versus newer videos that i wish hadn't changed... i'm unsure if it's your independent choice or your editors choice but there's a lot more cuts than there used to be and it hurts the continuity as you, naturally, don't explain everything you do and this was slightly annoying me... just wanted to give feedback! thanks for the content always! have a good day!!!
@PotatoMcWhiskey Yes, Goody Huts have a minimum distance, it is 3 tiles between. (Aka 4 tiles away.) (Aka minimum city distance allowed.) So those were as close as they could get, unless you are using a mod.
wow Mongolia seems to have nice perks. I just played my first Sanguine (SANGUINIUS FOREVER FOREVER SANGUINIUS) game and didnt realize the Vamps got stronger for nearby deaths too...even still they got up to 85 or 90 cobat strength and the castles are amazing. Not dying doesnt hurt either.
Im currently playing as mongola and managed to take out egypt and scotland before turn 100. Scotland gave me a huge science boost, so i am producing 61 science in 1340 AD. I have such a huge science lead that im working on caravels to explore the seas to continue my conquest.
Should have pillaged the Entertainment Complex earlier. It was supplying Amenities that were helping Canada maintain its extreme loyalty. That slowed you down a lot and cost you a lot of units and health.
I got the civilian trap bug recently. It was a great engineer surrounded by free cities (dramatic ages) He was basically safe until I moved him though.

The irony of Mulan fighting for the Mongols to conquer other civs is hilarious when put into context of her entire story.
That didn’t have any connection to the Mongols lol? She was during the time of the Huns, yeeeaaaarrrrrsssss before the Mongol era and rise.
@Cary Rumley still defending her home against a conquering empire.
But Mulan is a fictional character? The mongols were real. Mmh...

“Kinda funny that we’re going to use Mulan as Mongolia to invade Canada.” Never thought I would hear thar sentence.
My, how the turntables...
Shes a horse Rider Archer in this game so....
Actually, the origin of Mulan was likely inspired by the folktale of a proto mongolic Xianbei people. So it's not as weird as it sounds
Can't wait for Potato to intentionally build the Venitian Arsenal for his military
as opposed to accidentally building it? That would be a nasty realization when the animation starts playing..

I absolutely love how disappointed Wilfrid looks when you declared war. Like ... he wasn't afraid, it was pure disappointment. LOL

Silly rabbit! Potatoes don't wear pants! XD
Genuinely fun interplay between you and your editor Potato; adds a new, fun dynamic!

This is an awesome strat that didn't occur to me. Thanks!
lmao that pronunciation cutaway is amazing, pleeeease keep doing that, editor hahaha I would love this being an ongoing gag
The raw yields that Canada spawned with are insane
When he says “I need to defeat Canada as soon as possible”. All I’m thinking about is the surprise war issue. I’ve been stung by that many times
*sigh* McWhiskey is awarded the "God-start" and doesn't even bother to reveal the random number seeds for his game. So sad.
@Andrew Smith Open the Menu. It's displayed at the bottom, both the Map Seed and the Game Seed.
I really would like the seed too.

Can't wait to see where you place your vampire castles. I know you'll max them out well.

Love this editing. Always fun to listen to Potato, but having it be cut in a fun way 👌
oh god that capital placement
you're killin me here
with preserves giving housing based on appeal, fresh water starts arent necessarily imperative anymore
This is a great example of why sometimes you just need to raze your captures.
