To watch Potato for letsplay: NO
To watch Potato for him pronounce the city you live in wrong: YES
Ты из АркангЕлска?
Казан фулл оф плов
@@user-gy7hc6pi7h ну типа, недалеко живу. Каждый раз выносит, когда Потатыч это произочис
Slava rossija, pozdrav iz Republike Srpske
@@user-di9vr1nx5i as someone who lives in bordeaux, france, people who play civ 6 say “bord-e-aux” it pains me
Turn 2 victory. The rest is just going to be a formality.
Tbf, playing Russia in civ 6 are usually done deal no matter the start. Broken S tier civ.
Until any deity AI attacks lol. It would have been a very different game had Bolivar not been bottlenecked.
@@AeonQuasar Civ6 Balancing sucks in general. Completely unplayable, switched back to civ5 and old world recently. Much more fun..
@@mr.t993 i do wish civ 5 didnt have age old memory leaks still and its mods cause my games to crash in lategame EVERY TIME
@@pharaohthutmosis7803 I wish civ 5 multiplayer wasn't so jank caus I would've loved to play it with friends using mods.
Potato: *Planning how to defend his city from Simon Bolivar
Me: "If you kill him, there's no need to defend"
The best defense is a good offense
Me every game lol. I rarely declare war, but if I have war declared on me, they do not survive.
@@actualturtle2421 "I have resolved never to start an unjust war, but never end a legitimate one except by defeating my enemies" -Actual Turtle probably
@@actualturtle2421 It makes sense; when you invest that much into unit production early into the game, you kinda have to take a few cities to make it worth it whether you were planning on domination or not.
The AI not being able to mount a second assault is just icing.
@@actualturtle2421 I one day in my starting days of civ 6 had Chandragupta next to me.. (the other India, right?) they declared 3 wars on me which I fended off easily. Third war, I just decided to reduce them to nothing, and loyalty-took their capital.
I just recently randomed a Russia start just like this, and I made a point to save at a certain break point (before religion), so that after I win a super early religious victory, I can load back to the break point and do a culture win with the same OP start.
Ohhhh that's a fun idea
Literally me whenever I roll a fantastically fun Stellaris start.
This was a master class in Civ 6 micro-managing. I don't think I could ever have the mental fortitude to do what you just did. Absolutely astounding!
That Golden Age clutch was really impressive and with just enough luck where you needed it
I swear, any time the game gives a god spawn like this, it also drops a hyper aggressive AI right next to you. I was trying to get a Mount Vesuvius spawn as China, and when I finally got one Norway came in and ruined it
The civ gods giveth and taketh
Nobody expects the Norman Imposition
The amount of resources and production deity players squeeze out of the game sometimes makes me feel I'll be a forever emperor. This empire is about 100 turns ahead of where I'd be
Perfect start?
Simon: Prepare for trouble
Horse Barbarians: And make it double
Absolutely love this. No wacky mods, no over the top gimmicks, just good old classic CIV VI. These are the vids I crave
I do like the barbarian mod where they slowly turn into civ states and you can buy some unique units
@@RSFaber-nk6lh I also like the Corporations but the culture wins become too easy.
Surprised you didn't at least to try to eradicate Bolivar early. 3 warriors, 2 archers, and a few scouts against nothing. Would have prevented a lot of issues.
He needed to get the golden age I think
@@jjm6797 Killing an AI is 5 era points. Thus the elimination would have went a good way to making that happen.
@@winoodlesnoodles1984 The ability to take out an enemy in the early stage of the game is dependent on several factors. If the other civ just happens to rush towards masonry (which deity AI definitely can do), then your own archers and warriors aren't good enough anymore. If you start on the defensive because the AI attacks you first, then there's a high chance they're at masonry when you're ready to counterattack. On top of that, there's a need for religion-based civs to get that religion quickly so you get your beliefs secured.
And removing a civ from the game can be done at any time, like when you're in a later era and need that golden age secured.
@@theplasmawolf You make good points and this is a case in which we can agree to agree. 😀
First, I would return to the original comment from Jason Williams. There was a point when Potato had 3 warriors and 2 archers and they were up against nothing. Three warriors can put a city under siege so it can't heal. It that case, it may take a few turns, but two archers can still bring down a city, even one with walls. As such, my point holds. Had a counter attack succeeded, it would have helped achieve a golden age.
Had Potato attempted a counter attack it is possible the AI could have built walls and purchased an archer or two. This would have easily put a stop to the counter attack. As such, your point holds as well.
Having said all that, whether a counter attack would have succeeded is only a matter we can speculate on as it wasn't attempted.
@@theplasmawolf - But the point is that the military ALREADY existed. The war was ALREADY in action. It would have cost literally nothing to send those troops out. If the walls go up, sure pull them back. If Bolivar speed-builds some military that all pops on the same turn, then sure ask for peace. But it's not often you can put a military civ on their back heels in the Ancient Era, and it made no sense to back off with such a distinct upper hand. Even razing 1 city would have been a significant victory. Knocking them out gives him 2/3 of the continent uncontested.
The golden age scramble was an absolute blast to watch! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
7:31 Little scheming lizard laugh got me
As someone who avoids region-specific pantheons, early religions and tundra, this was amazing. Praying to snow is better than a fully powered factory. Mega-production *and* then you use the faith to churn out more settlers to worship ice gods.
Most people: it will be super inconvenient to plan a city for the Amundsen-Scott wonder.
Your people: polar industrial power in the ancient era!
Loved the recent content potato, and I’m loving this return to normal play through game play.
What a great start, but I think Morbius should have started a counter for how many times Potato declared himself the winner
I just started a civ game as Russia when this dropped. Was secretly hoping that you'd make a Russia playthrough but didn't expect it to become reality!
Can we get the seeds and settings so we can try this giga map out?
Yes, please!
In past videos he mentioned that seed is in the discord, id check there
@@abcdefghijlkmn1794 There's no save on the discord I could find.
Yes please I'm trying to win on deity and this looks like a great seed for Russia or Canada! Please give us the seeds Potato!
@@abcdefghijlkmn1794 is there a link to it? On mobile rn
Wow! This was by far the most gripping game in a while. I usually have the videos on background while I'm doing other things, but this game had me at glued to the screen.
As someone who's just learned how good work ethic can be, thanks
I do very much appriciate the commentary, seeing how well thought most of the steps were made me realize how much of a beginner I still am.
that lizard on the laugh had me wheezing lmao
I have followed your tips for a while now. It has improved my difficulty from settler to Diety in just under a month. Great tips give great success. Thanks!
That's a GOD start mate. Plus always love to see things going according to plan.
I turned my head and heard you laugh so I had to rewind just so I could see the bearded dragon. Lol
Simon with 10 Military score
"Merely a flesh wound! The battle continues!"
Love the ..I guess “caption” 😂😂I liked that
This video auto played after binging your first Terra Invicta run, and the calm in your voice here is such a shift 🤣
I always love it when you have something planned and laugh about it and your editor puts in that bearded dragon.
I love that lizard laugh! I always lament the missed ops for that. Great work 👏
Love that classic Civ content! Thanks! Would love to see another Simon Bolivar run
Im a scrub at this game but it's become one of my favs this year and you're the only dude i like to watch play it when my brain feels like it can learn some new stuff.
Keep up the good work sir
Great video, I always learn something about strategy, tactics or just good ol' how to play when I watch your videos. Keep up the good work! And the excellent explanations.
Great video, well done. Eagerly awaiting the next.
This was the most CLUTCH golden age I have ever witnessed. Well done Potato.
In my experience Gran Columbia actually goes for a religion pretty frequently. They usually take Catholicism.
They also usually aren't aggressive toward me for whatever reason. Unless I want to war them, we usually end up as friends.
Could it be deity difficulty?
@@ComradeFirbolg No, I usually play on deity as well.
It might be that I usually play with Secret Societies and Gran Columbia usually takes Owls of Minerva, which also happens to be my favorite choice most games.
That gives like a +8 boost to their opinion of you.
@@joelpierce1453 If Gran Columbia founds a religion, it will always be Catholicism unless another civ already invented catholicism first. Also Gran Columbia are way better with vampires than with the Owls of Minerva anyway
@@trueNordVPN That's not necessarily true, but it's irrelevant because I'm talking about the AI, and the AI takes Owls for Gran Columbia in 90% of games.
I'm not sure why but I almost never see gran columbia. The war civ I usually encounter is Lautaro, like every other game.
Olenets needs an industrial zone and a venetian arsenal.
Amazing play, there were a few times where your experience really helped you secure that second golden age.
You know you've won the game when you're getting all the wonders on diety
Love your content I’ve watched so many of your videos and series you got me into civ 6 recently such a fun game! Thank you for this awesome content
Fun watch! I always enjoy watching Russia in Civ VI.
Now this is one Let's Play where I would love to have the turn 1 save file to try it out for myself!!!!
I swear the titles you come up with are second to none
Titles i steal
this is great montage. feelt like a minute. amazing tempo
Very informative, teaches essential knowledge and decision making that would take a long time playing with other people and bots to learn by yourself.
Had a similar Russia start with Ubsunur Hollow, with the added bonus of a million deer + Temple of Artemis. Easiest deity win of my life
Building hanging gardens in arctic wastes... Yeah, about that...
Can't believe the ease with which you got machu pichu. I finally got it with Inca after 5+ rerolls and your devout vodka drinkers nearly stumble into it blind.
Finally a new series, I've felt starved of civ 6 series for a while :)
This is my favorite build by far. Steamrolling with Peter into Work Ethic is SUPER fun.
So weird to not have the full complete video out since most of the games I watch of potato are from 1-2 years ago. Haha
Hi Spuddy, I've really enjoyed binge watching your vids lately, and have learned so much! If you wouldn't mind, could you please explain in detail how these Barbarian Clans work? Thanks!
I have one deity win ever - and it was a Russia start that looked a LOT like this. Had multiple 2-pop-deep-tundra cities producing 69 production. They were keeping pretty busy in the cold I guess. 🤔
as much as I love the game I gotta admit some stuff in it is contradictory
This reminds me of a start I recently had as Nubia. Had loaded a game just to do the Nubian pyramid achievement, casually grab Hermetic Order, and see that in the center of my desert is 3 leylines and 2 mountains circling a single tile. Grabbed desert pantheon and dropped a +12(24 w/ card) holy site and took work ethic. Was RIDICULOUS
Nice pull on the golden age, I would have been a little more aggressive with the Barb camps on your eastern boarders, era score and possible eurekas. Any Barb camps within 5 tiles of my cites are always a priority
Hey, I don't know if you read old comments, but I want to say I just found your channel (YT algorithm only, I googled Civ6 stuff before), and I REALLY love what I've seen so far. Many moons ago, I played Civ5 like I see you playing here, and I've recently gotten into Civ6, and your videos have been VERY helpful in figuring out the ropes of advanced gameplay. I love that you explain something when doing it - it feels like it's a 1/3 tutorial. I'm going to look and see if you have a video that's a pure tutorial on how to handle games like this, but you should make them if you haven't!
Long story short: New to the channel, love your content, and love the explanations!
Barbarian mode with a disciple is a hoot, fixes the barb problem pronto.
Absolutely love your content bro
I've been waiting for this since you posted the screenshot on twitter 😄
I got a God Petra location as Mali the other day. Had to move for two turns for the best location but it was adjacent to 4 desert tiles, on a river, with Sahara el Beyda two tiles west of the city. +10! with desert folklore. Plus ten faith adjacency bonus holy site was absolutely glorious when I took work ethic. The south and east was mostly grassland hills with many trees and both iron and niter eventually spawned in the desert to the north and west.
Really helped that my second and third cities were also able to take a +6 and a +8 adjacency bonus holy site as well the +8 thanks to Gobustan being at the other end of the desert. My production was insane throughout that play through.
Scout appears on right of screen.
Potato - Enemy scout to the left there.
7:30 caught me by surprise, almost spilled soda on my keyboard
Had a similar start with Russia last month but instead of the Yosemite I got the double yields wonder. But since they're tundra tiles they only gave +2 food😞, though I still got a +12 Lavra😁
Clearing that barb camp which was in 6 tile radius gives a lot of era score I think
... Never heard anyone other than my dad say "Six of one, half a dozen of the other." I get looked at like I'm crazy when I say it.
You kinda missed out on the huge era score of converting an enemy's city in war time but you clutched that golden age real good
Reminds me of a game I played with Spain where I spawned on the border of a continent. Huge trade bonuses for the intercontinental trade from the outset.
Potato sweating for a Medieval Golden Age, and he could have dispersed that southern barb camp for +3 era score. Sure, it wouldn't be a city-state anymore, but would have been way less stressful.
Your videos are so addictive lol
Like always bro good work
what i've recently found very OP is great bath with flood plains
I had a 15 pop capital city in medieval era, producing i think 60 faith (just this city, and mostly from flood plains, i had at least 7 +5 faith +5 food tiles)
in the rare cases i get starts like this i get alexander/shaka/bolivar or good ol monty as my close neighbours, and you betcha they love forward settling.
32:12 Potato is:
Being invaded
On the verge of a dark age
Doing great.
i started a game as Rome and found a starting 4p+4f,4p+4f turn 1, and on the other side of Torres is a 4production +2food, 5p+2f and another 5p2f as well. Crazy
Love to see more
Are you still selling galleys?
Yes. :D
Yeah, I don't need any galleys. 🤣
It's one of the most important districts to build in the game.
*Me looking at the floor with shame as I never build the Gov Plaza*
i thought i was good at civ until i saw ur videos i never put so much thought into city placements i just like pretty borders🤣
wow , just wow, that second golden age was a thing of beauty
13:21
What he said: I can sell my salt for 150 gold
What I heard: I can sell my soul for 150 gold
I was about to say, Potato’s really dedicated to a win this game
Potato: "I don't know why Simon is such a jerk, he won't buy anything off me. I just handed him his ass in war."
Me, who most definitely would have lost to him in that offensive: "Yeah, what a moron. Who does he think he is?"
I actually was at Pamukkale when this video came out. I wanted to see it because of Civ6.
Can’t wait to see a Russia desert map
13:13 "religion sucks and faith is insane"
I am so going to take this out of contexts XD
Here is maybe a cool idea for a Brazil playthrough:
-TSL Huge Earth Map
-Apocalypse Mode/ Secret Societies Mode active
-Rush religion for Sacred Path + Work Ethic + Holy Scripture for +4 adjecency per rainforest.
-Burn down the amazon on cooldown with soothsayers to keep increasing yields.
-Secure Sanguine Pact
-Slap down a Preserve hexagon into the amazon from your coastal cities. Remember; Jungle tiles are +1 appeal for Brazil. Street Carnivals with Zoo's will also add another science to rainforest.
-Place down vampire forts on the cross-points between preserves.
-Try to keep the noise down for the neighbours as you look at the yield porn.
My finals result were vampire forts with 21 culture, 58 food, 19 gold, 16 faith, 54 production, 18 science and holy sites with 28 adjecency.
Greetings from Kazan! I've learned a lot of cool stuff from your videos, thank you for the content!
2:09 That was fast 🤣🤣
Era score cram was intense
never tried deity before, it looks stressful, well played 👍
Hopewell Rock or perhaps the Reversing Falls specifically or maybe even the larger Bay of Fundy needs to be in the Natural Wonders!
They're perhaps 2/3rds of a triangle set of 5-6 coastal tiles that have their bonuses be science & production.
If it's the Reversing Falls the area is a trove of history being made up of multiple different rock-types from different previous plates colliding... amongst the regular tidal things and more. Should have visited it when I travelled down East with my grandparents years ago!
No no no no, you tech horses 1st. This is multi player level 1 knowledge
Russias oldest friend, the winter.
And ancient enemy, lack of food.
Landed in a desert as Spain, managed to get the desert pantheon and work ethic and 3 holy sites with 6 or more adjacency… then got my religion smooshed in the next 10 turns 😂
I'm like 99% sure that you should have gone for ancestral hall instead of hanging gardens in the cap. You bought a builder in literally every city, and could have gotten the sprawling empire era score thing instead and had another 4+ settlers to get the desert and a snow city.
So old video I know - but question for anyone who stumbles upon this; Why is the +8 Lavra a no brainer? The tile next to it is +7 and it doesn't eat one of your Wonder-adjacent tiles that can be quite powerful to work later on. The +7 tile was just a flat tundra tile with just 1 food, and the +8 he placed it on was a 2 food, 1 production, 1 gold, 1 science tile...
I don't know about you guys, but I was really looking forward to a Witcher mod play through.
I like seeing this start
I kept getting distracted by the lense key "Will break a Promse" 🤡
Got a Russia Mount Everest start in the Tundra and the game was hilariously easy and fun.
Are-khan-gelsk, you mean, Archangel? 😆
If the footage shows visual tearing as well it is most often not your GPU but the mods, I have reskinned terrain and units and sometimes the game artifacts itself like a stretching ragdoll in source engine
