It’s amazing how that one encampment early on that allowed you to upgrade that catapult/bombard contributed so much to your game. That unit was your rock on the eastern front
You think so fast and take advantage of everything you can take advantage of, you taught me how to play deity and I'm eternally grateful for that and having so much more fun now. It's a privilege to see you play.
I have attempted a deity game yesterday, for the first time, and nailed it (it was Korea science victory, but counts!). Without you it would probably never be possible. Thanks for the awesome content!
I’m New to civilization and having you talk through your choices and explain your thought process has been exponentially helpful for me to learn the meta and mechanics. Thank you so much for the masters class, i can watch this for hours.
I just finished a Dido game with completely random setting other than a huge islands map type, immortal difficulty and marathon speed. My spawn forced me to stick with one city until I researched cartography, and because of all the cool shit you've taught me on your channel I was able to turn it into my second immortal victory, even against a raging Kupe sailing deep sea from turn 1. I appreciate the depth and comedic value of your channel man!
I would love to see an 8 player domination game, its would interesting to see what happens further down the tech tree, that or you just click future tech on turn 1
In civ 3 I used to gather a good 12-16 workers and as I conquered my opponents I built railroads to every captured city to allow my new units get to the front line ASAP and my damaged units to retreat to safety. Back in the day railroads were unlimited movement which was so OP.
Watching at that fast speed near the end hurt my eyes a bit, can you do a little slower fast forward in the future please. Other than that I like the way these videos were edited and I like that you're doing a bit of a change of pace from the A-Z challenge.
Hey Mcwiskey, have you considered playing a civ v campaign in September for Civ V's 10th anniversary? It would be cool to take a look back at a amazing game, which is still very much alive today
37:40 "before they crumble under my booty" lol, bro. ty so much for sharing your videos. You have helped me increase my skill from King. There were so many things I was missing. I was treating it like Command and Conquer and not like Chess. 10/10 will recommend your video to friends.
Again I have to say I really love this stile of video. Much much more than the long livestreams, again not becouse they are long but because the topics tend to always be the same political questions/topics.
For the record, you can see your spies' ranks in the espionage tab. Though it's really just code for how many promotions they have. (Recruit -> Agent -> Secret Agent -> Master Spy)
At 63:00, re question of how you tell the level of your spies. The little screen you get when any unit si selected has a row of icons along its bottom left displaying its promotions. Spies can have up to three of these icons, representing the three promotions they can get.
At 26:00, re comment about Chandragupta's land not being developed. Civs that have unique improvements have them removed if another civ captures them. A lot of those blank spaces presumably used to be occupied by his step wells.

well played.... i truly believe you can the TOTAL WAR challenge(where u declare war on AI as soon as you meet them) with alexander if u wanna give it a go. great game nonetheless.
That military engineer leapfrogging tactic was everything in Civ 3. I kinda miss how you could cover literally every tile with railroads and just have enormous production.
There was this poll here on TH-cam asking what series you were Corona binge watching - I pressed others.

I have a huge gripe against Artillery, and it's the sound they make when they shoot. It sounds like a rusty wheel turning. The Bombards are much more satisfying to fire.
You can tell what level your spies are by their promotions. No promotions = Recruit, 1 = Agent, 2 = Secret Agent, 3 promotions = James Bond (Master Spy).
Not sure what you mean. You just cant do ot half ass. You pay attention to the loyalty and expand early if you can. If you cant, raze some ai cities nearby. Always play on immortal or deity and only thing t that gives me hell with settling other than barbs is dramatic ages

Hey Potato, I noticed in this series you spent some time looking for various things on the map (ex. coal in this part) without using the "Search" function. I've found it very useful since they added it to the game, especially in later eras as my empire gets really big. Is there a reason you don't typically use this? I imagine when you have as much experience in the game as you have, it might actually be easier to just scan for the icons... Just curious on you thoughts. Thanks!!! Edit: Of course if I just wait 10 minutes to comment, you used it to find Niter... I feel silly now...
Hi i like this domination approach for pangea but i always have trouble moving from one continent to another. Can you please provide some strategies on how to spread and dominate another continent esp when youre in midgame and have to compete with upgrades like Steel
Is everything fine, Potato? Already 10 days without new video, I was not expecting a break this long, especially when people are spending much more time on TH-cam ...
I really liked the format of this series learned a bit here and there . All the chopping and harvesting though I'm not too sure about, doesn't that hurt a city long term for just a little short term gain ?

It was a good journey mister potato, I left this comment atleast 2 hours after you released each video. Bye everyone.
I love the speeded up ending! Saved me a lot of grind watching. Love it!

Potato, in the bottom of the unit pain there are hanging gold badges. Each one represents one level. 52:37.
If you haven't already found out.
I know that, but specifically what is Secret Agent
PotatoMcWhiskey I think these are in the same order each time and it’s 3 promotions so it isn’t that hard to learn them
I super think you don't understand.
I didn't know how a unit is designated as a secret agent.
PotatoMcWhiskey by earning 1 or 2 promotions (forgot how many) through an offensive mission
Again I have to say I really love this stile of video. Much much more than the long livestreams, again not becouse they are long but because the topics tend to always be the same political questions/topics.
This is so satisfying, oh lord. Can't wait for the next DLCs, which will lead to interesting content and exploring.
48:00 sounds like mice running away from the new plague!

Don't think I ever saw you so enthused over a domination run. Good job!
For the record, you can see your spies' ranks in the espionage tab. Though it's really just code for how many promotions they have. (Recruit -> Agent -> Secret Agent -> Master Spy)
32:30 You build the pyramids yourself haha
You showed how useful railroads are. I usually abandon other unit types by late game domination, since cavalry movement is so high. Very nice!
did you change something with your voice settings? because your voice kinda echoes, its not that important tho

Thats not the issue. My issue is that I did not know how many promotions a spy needs to be considered secret agent.
Nubian capitol protected by Slinger. Gotta be the oldest veteran since the Temple of Doom.
I have no proof, but I personally believe that late game resources are far more likely to spawn outside a player empire than in it.
They just favour spawning in areas that players don't want to settle (desert, tundra) so it just seems that way lol

After years of playing this game, I'm now finding that expanding through settlers is broken when you get to King level due to the loyalty burden.
