2153: It started with silence. very few of us noticed when the stations around Jupiter's moons went dark. Some difficulty in communication was expected as the gas giant passed behind the Sun, but when Mars went quiet that's when we all noticed. But decades of peace made us weak and by the times we woke up, it was already too late. Just a few days later, in the golden hours of dawn, four large asteroids struck across the sky morning sky and the ancient Inca lands were no more. And then they arrived: thousands of ships descending upon the north bearing the cross of Georgia on their metal and vengeance in their hearts...
Of any game that needs a play to the end after victory, it's this one, where you keep playing just to be the only civ left, real total victory. Then show us the warfare graphs at the end!
According to the score victory 2500 is as good as Augustus. Potato got 4255, at turn 328. I think he should continue playing until turn 500 to win on score.
So many great quotes in this video: Potato trying to remember if he tried to nuke a particular city before: "Look, I'm just an international war criminal, what do you want from me?"
Felt like the AI civs were just desperately trying to escape the coming Nuclear Potato apocalypse. What a thing of beauty, they brought it on themselves!
That was great. I love how this entire campaign started out with you being all chill and build tall, only to lose it when you're basically attacked on all fronts and end up spread wide. Much amusement. Thanks PmW!
Im surprised he showed concern about nuking Korea so much with his 3 eyed fish comment. I was expecting a "I wonder how many nukes it'll take to make a 4 eyed fish, let's find out." Also that last hail Mary by the Cree is chefs kiss. It was deserved on some level.
I love that at 42:53 we have Inkasisa, the lone archeologist, rushing to preserve an artifact from the past before the nuclear fallout covers it. She will do what she can to show future generations what the world was like before the bombs fell and climate change caused the planet to flood and the shores to recede. She will have the satisfaction of preserving a keepsake left by a people that knew nothing of the devestation that would engulf their land far in the future. She will uncover something that takes her away from the bitter taste of nuclear victory.
the story arc of this series is just epic! the mix of dedication, patience and a believe in yourself despite the circumstances is very impressive and inspiring, not only for this game! thank you and a yay vote for the bonus video (if not here maybe over on Patreon) with a chill tall build across the entire map. would love to see that just for the meme 😁
Also, I'd love for you to reload an auto save and see what turn Georgia wins on if you don't interfere at all. I want to see how close you were to actually losing!
Potato finally won a massive score victory 4255 by capturing every wonder city. According to the score victory, 2500 is as good as Augustus. Please continue playing until turn 500 to win on score, so we can see awesome stats.
What a series! Strapped in for a tall game, until the AI just didn't allow you to build up your empire and you finally snapped, going full conquest, tearing your way through the enemy cities while building utopia behind the front lines, with a climactic ending by not only you bombing the AI into oblivion, but also liberating all the city states and a final "fuck you" from the Cree. What a ride!
It was my understanding that if you pillage every spaceport belonging to another civilization that the exoplanet expedition progress halts completely. If that is true, then you don’t technically have to completely eradicate another civilization to prevent a science victory
>Man coming from a civilisation which is now pretty much irrelevant in our world >Conquering globe >Claims to be creating utopia >Using heavy machinery, a strong airforce and atomic weapons to destroy enemies >Questionable ideology at points Potato is the Emperor of Mankind
I’ve been playing this a loooong time and I never realised until now that anti-air is a support unit that you can attach to other units. I never built them because I thought they took up precious tiles at the front.
This was a whole lot of fun to watch, it felt like you might actually lose at a few spots. id love to see you play more challenge maps? if those are a thing.
"The game said I could move my unit here and now it can't...I'm now mad at this game"....this entire series is you being mad at this game lol and I'm here for it :)
This has to be one of the best series you had ahahahha. I never seen the AI nuke the player back, let alone the way it all played out. Impressive play tbh, if it was me when the capital was lost and the third city raised I would've restarted.
thermonukes being more uranium intensive makes sense gameplay wise but less so science wise because the whole point of them is being much more powerful for the same amount of fissile material
Potato, have you used the missile silos much? when you place one down it can fire multiple nukes per turn. Might've accelerated some conquest if you'd dropped on on the border of georgia or korea and just gone full rapid fire over the course of three turns.
Missile silo nukes are easier to intercept. And a bomber at full HP and with relevant promotions is more likely to get through even if the tile is defended by AA.
If memory serves, defending AA units have a 50% chance to shoot down a missile silo or nuclear submarine nuke. 100% chance if it's a Mobile SAM unit doing the interception. A bomber-delivered nuke, however, can _only_ be stopped by getting the bomber under 50 HP. So, a jet bomber at full HP is probably getting through, even without relevant promotions. With that said... If you know it's not a mobile SAM defending the tile, a missile silo can simply keep firing nukes until either you run out or one gets through.
This reminds me of a Germany game in which I was traveling 16 lightyears a round in an absolutely desperate attempt to clutch the victory of of the ais hands... It didn't work by one turn
Am I the only one who thought that, during this last episode, Potato slowly turned into Ryan Reynolds? Man, that "That's a tasty nuke right there" made my day.
That Cree nuke really was just about sending a message. Not only was it a nuke but I swear it was a Thermal nuke as well. Could have hit a few cities, or wiped out one of your fronts... Instead it was a final middle finger and attempt you kill the head potato
Potato: in this game I will pronounce all city names 100% correctly. Civ VI: your opponents include the Cree, Ethiopia, and Georgia. Potato: ... *next* game...

And that, friends, is how you play a tall game.
Maybe the real tall games were the AIs we nuked along the way.
it was a really tall mushroom cloud ngl
Tall is just wide laid on its side.
The AI was being unreasonable and he took that personally
Lmfao the hail mary fuck you nuking of your capital was hilarious 😂😂😂
Not gonna lie, I often watch these twice. Once in the evening when I usually pass out and then the next day to watch the actual content. Potato's laugh gave me a jump start. : D
And it'was the turn before he got wiped out from loyalty. that's just crazy

Everyone's desperately trying to leave the planet to escape potato and he's just trying to kill them before they succeed.
In theory Russia Georgia Korea and Gran Colombia managed to leave
Given the force of the hydrogen bombs, some of them have probably left the planet.
lmao that determined "fuck you" nuke from the Cree right before they died was a thing of beauty.

Oh man I just started reading your comment literaly 2 seconds before he started saying this, so funny!
39:15 probably the most hilarious moment I've ever seen in Civ. Ultimate message sending from the AI, it's learning!

Luckily, we live in a more interesting timeline.
And yet I still want to see that other timeline.
Played it on 5 cities recently. Perfectly possible but Potato just cannot go without war lately.
@@TheW83Is it the one where we eat spiders instead of lobsters? Or was that a different one? There are too many timelines.
The Cree nuclear bomb in his last turn, it's maybe the most amazing thing i have seen from IA. Amazing.
The moment they stole the Colosseum, their fates were sealed.
34:18 "Hey, listen! I'm building a Utopia here, okay?"
That nuke from Cree right before their city flipped and the other last city conquered was the most legendary civ moment

The Hail Mary nuke had me in stitches, what a great series!
It's amazing how you can keep track of all the units, fronts and tactics taking place simultaneously. I would just zone out and wake up confused.
I love that at 42:53 we have Inkasisa, the lone archeologist, rushing to preserve an artifact from the past before the nuclear fallout covers it.

What I have learned is to not let Potato get in charge of the nukes.
"If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me!" -- The Cree, probably.
When a 'tall' build gets wide.....and someone forgets to name cities after patreons really late in the happenings.
Dude, Poundmaker slapping your cap with a thermo on his final breath has to be the most glorious thing the AI ever did in this game, I salute them.
Given Oppenheimer just won the oscars, that title was on point :P
Potato laughing at the nuke from the Cree gave me Freezer destroying planet Vegeta vibes
That truly was one of the tall games ever played
Have watched a lot of series by you. Was hoping for an all out warfare one just to see what it would look like. You deliverd. Thanks!
This whole game was so chaotic and a ton of fun. Loved the pivot into war and embracing it
A nuclear submarine attacked from... a completely land locked city.
This game is bonkers, I tell ya.

Good to see you finally do a tall One Island challenge
I’ve been playing this a loooong time and I never realised until now that anti-air is a support unit that you can attach to other units. I never built them because I thought they took up precious tiles at the front.

Watched the drama unfold from start to finish...Epic battle.
This was a whole lot of fun to watch, it felt like you might actually lose at a few spots. id love to see you play more challenge maps? if those are a thing.
The way he keeps saying “Oh yeah” and I think he also said “boom baby” he’s not potato he’s emperor Cusco before character development lmao
"The game said I could move my unit here and now it can't...I'm now mad at this game"....this entire series is you being mad at this game lol and I'm here for it :)
"We need both gold and nukes." Potato channeling the rulers of the American Regime.
The Cree’s last minute nuke was fucking hilarious
Listening to Potato pronouncing Georgian city names is just gold.
"Geneva! Another city we can liberate... I'm nuking it..." Unhinged potato is great! Fun series
This has to be one of the best series you had ahahahha. I never seen the AI nuke the player back, let alone the way it all played out. Impressive play tbh, if it was me when the capital was lost and the third city raised I would've restarted.
"Most of my empire is happy."
Happiness is Mandatory. The nuking and giant robots will continue until happiness reaches approved levels.
Smell of uranium... smells like victory 🤠

Missile silo nukes are easier to intercept. And a bomber at full HP and with relevant promotions is more likely to get through even if the tile is defended by AA.
If memory serves, defending AA units have a 50% chance to shoot down a missile silo or nuclear submarine nuke. 100% chance if it's a Mobile SAM unit doing the interception. A bomber-delivered nuke, however, can _only_ be stopped by getting the bomber under 50 HP. So, a jet bomber at full HP is probably getting through, even without relevant promotions.
With that said... If you know it's not a mobile SAM defending the tile, a missile silo can simply keep firing nukes until either you run out or one gets through.
the stock exchange, nuclear device play is interesting, not sure why though, but it just sounds funny when you say it
“Let’s nuke Caguana so we can liberate it.” “I’m building a Utopia here.”
Checks out.
so many nukes, but not showing the most important graph? you were so close to absolute greatness!
Religions founded, of course, sorely missed.
This reminds me of a Germany game in which I was traveling 16 lightyears a round in an absolutely desperate attempt to clutch the victory of of the ais hands... It didn't work by one turn
Cree's nuke at the end was like a captain sinking with his ship with both middle finger raised LOOOL
pulling this one out was impressive. nice to see someone actually need to use nukes for anything
If Millennia goes well it kind of addresses your era win conditions.
