  • Hey Spuddies, PotatoMcWhiskey here and since the reaction to the last video was so positive I thought I would do another one. I hope you guys enjoy this completely broken strategy of using Horses Only on Deity Difficulty in Civilization 6.

      It's like nobody truly understood how incredibly broken the Mongols horsemen were in real life.

They would have stomped the polish if Ghengis hadn't died and the empire fractured from the infighting

      Also, the main trick for Diety AI is to go steal their stuff since they aren't any better at war, just slightly stronger units.

      Lots of factors to consider when making that choice, the effort needed to spread the religion can be quite a resource drain, but a good religion is very helpful. In this case i don't think he would have been able to spread his religion as fast as he conquered land. (Spain's conquistadors convert cities when they take them so spain using a religion to aid loyalty when conquering is a good strat)

    What I tend to do as Genghis is to smash down early civs to a non-coastal secondary city (taking their initial capitals is always my goal) then leave them locked in place by my conquered cities essentially turning them into city-states is in a world dominated by my civ. I then just play out the game being the sole builder of wonders, being hundreds of years ahead in tech and culture and absorbing all available gold in the world via trades with the various civs.

You're not one shotting cities because of a +12 from the intel, you're one shotting them because you've got cavalry when they have horsemen.

    whenever I play mongolia I never train horses until I have an ordu. The extra movement point is really helpful, and if you have a great general you get 6 movement horses which is just insane. and there is that promotion (I forgot the name) which gives you +1 movements, so 7 movement horses and 6 movement knights. The only handicap is that the great general is rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy slow compared to the units.

    Just spent last couple of days watching your videos, I’ve been thinking of getting the game on Xbox one but didn’t know how I would go around playing it. I watched your new beginners video and it’s pretty much made my decision. It’s a lot to take in but you explain things very well to understand. :)

    As it just happens, I played a Mongolia game today. Got forward settled by Hungary early and had to focus on units early which really hurt settling and my science. I was able to wipe out Hungary but fell too far behind and am having trouble taking out Korea and Persia who are 10+ techs ahead of me.

    Aluminum-guy who discovered it wanted to call it alumium. He then changed his mind decided to call it Aluminum (the name used in America). Then someone in Britain decided that elements needed to end in “ium” and called it aluminium. So it’s correctly aluminum, but the British empire spread the wrong name aluminium to most of its empire.

    Most definitely don't realize how powerful the Mongols were under Khan. The only reason we don't really hear about the Mongol Empire is because as soon as he passed the Empire onto his children they all went at each other's throats so it was a very short lived but quite massive empire. You should look how he took over most of Asia. He took out western Russia, down through Georgia, up to the Mediterranean, was working on wiping the Turkey area and passed away. The only thing that stopped them was the infighting caused through greed and stupidity. If they had stayed united instead of power hungry we would have truly seen the power of the Mongols

    The aluminum vs aluminium debate is funny. The Oxford dictionary actually recognizes them as two different spellings and pronunciations for the same word. So both are technically right.
