a desert is described as a place where evaporation far exceeds precipitation. That is technically what happens in Antarctica but i think it is classified as ice desert so a bit different.
BTW, a desert is an area that receives less than about 25 centimeters of rain per year. And even though snow is a type of precipitation, the whole continent of Antarctica fits that desert criterion and is, thus, a frozen desert. QED. 😜
Loving this series, and hoping you'll do a video on the new Civpocalypse event that just went live! Although it's weird since you can't found a religion for Georgia
Just an FYI. The Simulacron-3 is an excellent book from the 1960s, which is one of the first works that depicted virtual reality. It was turned into a faithful German TV adaptation called World on a Wire in the '70s (I think it holds up till this day), and later a looser adaptation called The Thirteenth Floor in 1999.
As the saying goes: Russians take a long time to get going, but when they finally go they move fast! That strategy is a perfect example of that. A very slow start but once lavra and grove are done it just gets turboboosted!
19:57 The first half of that is true, it’s a desert because there’s very little precipitation. Snow is a type of precipitation, but it hardly ever snows there
Agh the niter blocking the preserves was painful. I almost got a perfect four preserve natural wonder in a Kupe game a month or two ago, but there was rice on a preserve tile and I didn't realize Kupe couldn't get rid of rice.
A comment right from the get go: When getting so much production and being in a golden age, i find it better to hard build lots of buildings instead of buying it for faith, since that faith is going to workers and settlers (and/or everything in the city center if Valetta is in the game, but that can then be done later as well, so... settlers and builders) :D
Strategics should be spent for in-city/civ-wide yields and not just military units. Like, cash-in some strategic for production in one city... Or, some strategics give different yields: culture, faith, science, and also production. . .
Whiteandnerdy with his America build was doing great until some nukes took out the east coast. There is India in this game, so something similar could happen here... 💥
Deserts are any place that sees less than 0.25 m of precipitation each year. The average for Antarctica is about 0.166 each year though, the west and east(90/270) have remarkably higher precipitation and the total continent receives highly variable amounts of precipitation. The wiki - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Antarctica I did a brief google to confirm this and the wiki citations look good if a bit old. Given that the region is warmer now than it was that data might be bad, but I’m not an expert.

evaporation in cold climate should be forbidden. i hate my ice cubes just up and vanishing in my ice box
Antarctica only gets an inch or two of snow a year. It just never melts and forms the ice sheets.
@TheDanc1nghawk I'd guess that there is still some sublimation happening
"Holding off on the preserves is punished by niter." The chapter following "My campus spot got taken by iron."
Which follows "horses ruined everything"
an 11-faith holy site coulda gone there like 20 turns ago...
I'm hoping that you can snag St. Basil's Cathedral before the Ai. The extra food could be helpful later on.
It's on the list!
I love it when you give your cities the names of your supporters.
You have true team spirit.
"Ursa Ryan forgot to place Preserves before unlocking Niter, this is what happened to his empire:"
He was very sad

That's because most of the snow carried around is just eroded ice being picked up by the wind. They're more akin to sandstorms than snowstorms.
Congratulations on 65k 4k more to 69k huzzah
Huzzah!
Huzzah! Early bear legion represent. Peter as usual is overpowered haha.
Huzzah!
I am thinking about the enormous effect the Eiffel Tower would have in this case.
Thanks for birthday greetings!
Justas :)
"Everyone loves Yield!" So glad you said this! It is Pearl Jam's most underrated album by far!
It will always be "ten" for me XD
17:46 I love having the apostle promotion on my martyrs 😂
They're just martyr apostles but upside down
17:53 'we have apostle on this martyr'. I think it can see what your focus was with that unit 😅
*I love having connecting preserves, so cool to get those overlapping yields lol* 💪👍
Huzzah He is back!
Huzzah!
You're gonna have to face it: you're addicted to grove.
I need sanctuary to help me heal
That is one spectacular, wide, and beautiful tundra. Tis glorious indeed! Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Loving this series, and hoping you'll do a video on the new Civpocalypse event that just went live! Although it's weird since you can't found a religion for Georgia
That is weird! I'll have to check it out

“I’m a simple Ursa really. All I need is giant flaming men.” Quote of the year candidate. 😅
hehehe
22:11 You & me both, Ursa Bear. You & me both
Antarctica doesn't snow either. No precipitation (inland). Cold, dry, air whippin-around snow dust into huge frosty dunes.

Huzzah! Early bears!
Huzzah!
20:09 Antarctica is a desert as lack of rainfall is what determines whether or not something is a desert, not temperature or lack of water/ice.
I'm loving how many people answered this in the comments xD
I did this a few weeks ago and its so broken, but really fun!!!

Early bears, huzzah!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
It's also fun to sneak a settler down to the south tundra and expand east and west as far as you can as well
I wish I had more settlers!!
0:24 Oh deer!
Was watching Notorious Food cook Beef Stroganoff . Appropriate really!
Huzzah!
Huzzah! Now that's a tasty dish
One amazing thing about this setup is that the activities of the bot civs are wholly irrelevant.
You're saying other people are on this map?
You are the best Ursa, Justas will be very happy!

I think we just have to have more faith - more I say!!
There IS a notification when governors get established, but it's in the useless notification bar on the right
Oh no, not that bar
Late bear huzzah!
🖖
What's the thing in the top banner to the right of population?
Huzzah, eaarly bears!!! I mean Ursa, if this video is a replication of a previous video, is it a simulacrum? I love D&D
Haha, true!
What mods are showing population housing food production etc.?
Whole list on discord
Thank you Ursa i am now a member of youre discord:) love youre videos
This was a 1-city faith game from turn 40
So which order of district building did you prefer: Lavra 1st Preserve 2nd or Preserve 1st Lavra 2nd?
Lavra first for work ethic but I'd rather pray in the preserve
All hail…. Custom Religion!!
£701 - Do Voidslingers affect the yields from pilgrimages to the University of Sankore?
If only
always aim for 100 turns by 450 faith
Strategics should be spent for in-city/civ-wide yields and not just military units. Like, cash-in some strategic for production in one city...
Or, some strategics give different yields: culture, faith, science, and also production. . .
That would be a lot of fun!
There literally is an alert on the right when a governor is established.
Ssshhhhhh
Huzzah
Huzzah!
Whiteandnerdy with his America build was doing great until some nukes took out the east coast. There is India in this game, so something similar could happen here... 💥
And who would do such a thing as nuking all those preserves and nashos?
Some cretin that's who
Hold up. You are an actual content creator and not the comic artist I've been reading for years on reddit? Wow.
Haha - the very same!!
Early Russian preserves huzzah!!!!!
Huzzah!
This is insane, over 1,000 faither per turn by turn 119? I hope I never play you in multi-player
I don't think many people allow Russia in multiplayer xD
4 minutes after and I am number 20??
Gotta go fast!
will ursa use great people to spread his religion?
Eventually = )
