Potato: "If you didnt watch the last episode, which you probably did I dont know why you wouldn't ..."
TH-cam Algorithm: I'm about to ruin his whole video organization.
You right, I'm watching his videos all the time, but this particular video did not appear in recomendations. However two other videos did!
Diablo Santo funny, this video did show up for me, the other 2 didn’t lol. So he said that and I was like.. oops. Let’s go watch the first. Lol
TH-cam never puts Potato's videos in order and it's really annoying. Episode 7 of a series will queued up after Episode 2, for example. Can be tricky finding the right video.
@Gabriel Pancerzewski Ayyyy welcome to the club! Remember to check out the comment section of videos before his Venitian Arsenal vid, never let the Venitian arsenal meme die. Enjoy!
Three years later and the algorithm sent me here so all hope is not lost (I started the game yesterday)
It's funny he puts so much emphasis into talking about military strength at the start. I was just playing a game last night as japan where I largely ignored military and kept good relations with both civs to my east and west. Suddenly, 100 turns into a quick game, they both declare surprise war on me and march armies into my borders, while I had like 3 units to my name and very few encampments. I managed to fight them off, but only because i was playing on prince since I'm relatively new still. I concluded the AI must have seen me as easy pickings, and Potato confirmed it here.
Well, just so you have some reference, on Deity, there's some games where the AI instantly throws 5 warriors on your borders. Like, you're literally finishing your first scout and when you're unlucky enough to get found by a militaristic civ with an annoying agenda, he instantly throws all his stuff at you and it's basically restart.
Yeah, I've rage quit many games this year due to militaristic civs spawning near me amd declaring war within first 20 turns. This is me trying to play deity.
I can usually win on 6, and am getting into playing on 7. If you neglect military, you ded. Every time.
And on Deity the AI boost to production and technology advances is I believe either 80% or 100% the normal (prince) so especially on deity it’s important to focus on military unless you get some miracle spawn and have a whole continent to yourself
Yeah the only way you can ignore developing units is playing a non agressor and having non aggressor neighbors.
Examples: Playing Ghandi vs Gilgamesh (as long as you want to stay friends with him and follow basic decency he is chill.)
Can't wait for. "I spend 100 hours talking about an entire game"
Then "I spent 10 hours talking about how good chopping is"
@@patrikmaurer6224 so... just a normal vid?
"I spend a few hours talking about the map".
I like the idea that this series will last for 100 1-hour Episodes, especially since the first two episodes together covered about 70 turns, which means he would then slow down dramatically, at about 4 turns per episode. Like, in the late-game when he gets 20 cities and 500 units, he goes into incredible detail about the movement of each one, using multiple quick saves to explore each combination of possibilities. The paths diverge so much he ends up accidentally getting a tourism and diplomatic victory instead of the faith/science main campaign. @Patrick Maurer most of the chopping praise is much like in every video, scattered about but very passionate, except for one video which actually lasts for 2 hours instead of one, in which he goes into every quicksave and demonstrates the different (and always better) timeline using chops as opposed to building lumber mills. It ends up being his most popular by far, generating multiple spin-off episodes and its own dedicated series
Man dont give him shit for this. this guide is really helping people like me who are new to the game learn the game
36:40 this was the best tip I never heard. Locking in the build cost early and then procrastinating
How does that work, you can place it before building it?
@@_7__716 If you start a district or unit in production, the amount of production required to create it will be locked in until it's complete.
44:11 "He WILL get himself killed" - Every time I automate a Scout he continuously runs to the nearest Barbarian Camp.
It’s a double edged sword with auto-scouts tbh. They know the location of all the huts and world wonders and can find them first but they shall also inevitably dive right into a barb camp.
It's okay! I get them killed manually anyway.
“I have a scout here defending me against Rome” your scout deserves a fucking Medal of Honor, May statues and stories remind the generations thereafter upon this legendary scout.
This is not just another how-to video. This is a why-to video which is what you need to succeed at a strategy game.
"You're gonna make bad decisions with incomplete information. It's okay, you gotta just learn to roll with the punches."
Me: *secretly navigating to the Load Game screen and selecting Autosaves*
Me putting four hours into a game and then restarting because I think I might be able to do a more optimal run.
@@KennyHazy97 omg I'm so glad I'm not the only one T^T
@@KennyHazy97 i hate myself for doing this...
Ahh, good old Save-Load until win. 'Tis my secret weapon indeed. lol
I generally try to avoid “save scumming” like that, but if I misclick or quickly do something without fully thinking it through and it’s REALLY inefficient then I’ll MAYBE load the save but I only auto save every 10 rounds. If I make a poor decision with incomplete information, I’ll roll with the punches because it’s not like I could have known.
Hey potato, I've been hospitalized the past couple days and this series and a few of your longer stream videos has been keeping me positive and focused on healing. Really appreciate you my man. Looking forward to getting back home so I can use some of the stuff I've learned from ya in my next civ game. Might even try stepping up the difficulty! (you helped me get my first win on King before I got sick)
Hey if you need more civ 6 content to watch, The Game Mechanic, The Game Common, and The Saxy Gamer all have lets plays.
Get better soon!
Get well soon 👍
get better soon happy to see you are staying positive ❤️
Wish you all the best! For your or anyone's usual dose of Civ, even in the hospital, I can recommend the Nintendo Switch version. It's actually totally fine once you get used to the controls. Provided one's already recovered enough to play video games, of course :)
@@Nitidus
Nintendo Switch has a good Civ game mechanic to it? Does it fare better than the other Console versions?
Very happy you went for Lady of the Reeds.
That city really needs the help and it is a great farming diamond.
Also plain variety.
This game is dangerous, I've been "one more turn"-ing for 5 hours now... It's currently 3am where I am...
so true lol
I've been 'One more turning' for about 5 years now. The struggle is real!
I've only had this game for a couple of months and I do this ... and immediately think, "Ok, that's it. I've won a couple of Dom, a Science and a (accidental, lol) Cutural, I don't need to play anymore." ... and then a few days later I'm at it 'til 3am again with ANOTHER Civ ... and then again ... Sigh.
riiiiight.
I just done that last night, so tied at work now
When you’ve run out of titles so you literally just say what you did
My main takeaway from this is that I don't expand anywhere near as quickly as I should. I probably upgrade my cities more than necessary, especially because I prioritise the holy site more than I should. I also never harvest resources and I don't need to be afraid to use resources like stone, which ultimately don't do much for me. Cheers for the guide!
few weeks ago you just hit 100k and now 140k, wow you are growing really fast! I wish you the best Potato
Also, for Pyramids: You can actually see that Tamar owns a small patch of desert just near the fog of war, and when you see AI has desert in Deity, it's safe to assume that the Pyramid is gone. They will always build it as long as they have a desert.
You can tell he's really focused on certain things to explain when he completely misses commenting on Rome forward-settling Lugdunum!
1:19:00
If he conquers London he'll get another 6 production from "lady of the reeds"
I cant tell you enough how much I appreciate this style of 'playthrough'. Most playthroughs for this game go so damn fast I dint even know what is going on. Wich is understandable due to time constraints. I would love a domination or religion playthrough in this style since those victories are still unknown to me. Big up!
I’m brand new to civ games. The game was so confusing that I became frustrated. I’ve spent an extensive amount of time watching tutorial videos to gain a better understanding. Your super in depth explanations are exactly what I needed. I wish there were more videos of this type. I’ve gone from feeling like I’d wasted my money on a game I’d never play to becoming excited by it. Thank you so much for doing these types of presentations, it’s much appreciated!
I've got over 200 hours in Civ 6 and learned alot from this series
This oversimplified series is pure gold. I have never seen so much useful information in a single video for Cvi6 in my life. Would be nice if you did one for a domination game.
You should do videos like this for every victory type
And every Civ! And every map type! Well, if he has the time.
He should just do everything
He should honestly just create civ 7
Potato doing literally anything in this series:
*I'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move*
Sometimes when I find a city-state with an attractive suzerain bonus and an awful envoy request, I declare war on the city-state. It drops its envoy request, I peace out in 10 turns, and then in the next era the city-state makes another request that might be more doable
But do be careful that there is no AI being suzeraine because you'll get like 100 grievances with them By declaring that war
Also, this only works if you have no envoys in there yet, because it kills all current envoys in tht city state if you declare war
I can’t believe I’m such a spuddy. I keep telling myself that I’ll stop watching so much civ 6 strategy video.. but here I am.
I wish this series existed when I started playing. This is a great tutorial for beginners, not only because of the content but also because of the meta-teaching: a good Civ player needs patience. It's not meant to be a fast paced game.
You know, when you end your turn and the game is processing the AI, there is this little gossip info bar that appears in the right top corner. I noticed that you never drop it down to see what the other AI is doing. It's very handy cause it's talking about the interaction they have with other players that you haven't met yet. So now you know who is there or what they have accomplished. Just before you met Eleanor Of Aquitaine, we could see that she got warned by somebody for interfering with their agenda. Don't know if you knew this or cared about it, just thought to share it. Anyway love your content, always nice to hear your thought process. Looking forward to the next. Spuddy out.
babbaracos is this part of the standard UI? I have several hundred hours in and I had no idea. Which icon?
I think it can be useful, but it has way too much unimportant information. Like, im only interested on whos warring who and which proyects/victory conditions are being completed (which are late-game, top-secret data) so seeing how Chandragupta spits as his neighbours isnt my biggest concern on a pro level match.
He knows and doesn't care. He says after so many hours it's mostly point less info.
I remember when Potato only had 60.000 subscribers.
How are you, new ones?
Alas I do not
It was only a few months ago. He's snowballing out of control!!!
Thanks to Spiffing Brit... I found Potato...probably 2 months ago
I've been watching since @25,000.
It would be cool to see another game with a different approach. Maybe an aggressive civ. (after this series finishes)
The BoatMormons are disappointed in you potato
Placing a campus and then waiting 30 turns before building it, just to keep its price low, is a MASSIVE tip. Absolutely MASSIVE.
Thanks for that.
I've never got into Civ, but your explanations are fantastic. It helps so much when I'm not familiar with a game to understand what is happening and why. Thanks a bunch for being my Civ education.
Thank you so much again Potato. Like I said im new to the game maybe 30 hours in or so, and this is the most helpful guide I have found on youtube BY FAR for civ 6 and, possibly for any game I have ever tried to learn how to play. Thank you for spending the time to explain the game mechanics to me slowly so I can understand when your mind works 5X faster than mine does. Thank you for being humble and a nice person. One of the few TH-camrs who actually shows intrrest and cares and reads my comments and likes them. Thank you so much for being you. You are a special person and I appreciate you very much.
Taruga: It'd be really cool if you got a Great Admiral
Potato, planning out 6 harbors: Nah.
This series is by far my favorite because it goes into so much details. I am learning so much from this series alone. Please continue at this pace as even with an experienced, Diety player, like myself, I have picked up several tips. Kudos to you.
This type of Indepth series is exactly what I love to watch. Thanks!
When you declare friendship with both sides of a war:
Nutraliti
Wow! What a great series. I've been waiting for one like this. Thank you, Potato!
I really enjoy Civ once I get the ball rolling, but more often than not I get frustrated that I can't catch up with the AI in the early game. This series is really helping me think about how I set up my games in a more advanced way, and I can't wait to load up the game again and try these strats out! Thanks Potato :)
When calculating diplomacy favor selling for gold. I multiply my gold per turn by 20. Then go up or down as needed. It is closer to 2/3rds
Loving this series so far, keep it up potato!
When you get your next trader, I hope you put it in Damietta to get the trading post set up there too.
When he didn’t buy that silk tile for Damietta but instead buys the useless campus tile was astounding. The worthless tile was right next to the best tile to buy. I’m speechless
I explained why I bought the tile
Let me try to rephrase this in a more polite fashion: thoughts on buying the silk as well as the campus tile so damietta has a nice tile to work right away?
I watched Quill's few videos for beginners and yours teaches the mechanics far better. Thank you.
Commenting because you seem unsure about the pronunciation: Agoge (A-Go-Gi) is basically the graduation exam for Spartans to being full citizens/soldiers from trainees. The idea is to sneak out of their barracks at night and murder a slave, without getting caught. Getting caught meant a savage beating and other punishments.
I'm not a big stickler for pronunciation, but since you sometimes bounce between pronunciations I thought a bit of context might help (assuming you even see this comment on a month old video, lol)
man what a wonderful place sparta was. it seems like history is filled with examples of people treating other people like absolute shit. I watched an interesting video about how there's lots of emerging evidence that the reason for viking raids was to gather more slaves. they apparently had quite the caste system
@@berengerchristy6256 Roman Emperor Nero made human candles out of Christian's... and there was an Egyptian pharaoh who covered his slaves in honey to keep the flys away from him.
Some crazy stuff in history.
This series is exactly the kind of tutorial I've been looking for in Civ. I never felt like my decisions in game were properly founded but now I know how to think about these decisions much more confidently. Thank you!!!
I really appreciated the style of these last two videos. I am coming back to Civ 6 after a couple of years away. This series is exactly what I needed.
So glad I found this series. It's exactly what I've been looking for to help me learn to play better. I know it seems like a lot to be explaining every little thing, but I really do appreciate it!
I love this "over-explained" series. Thank you. It's great to get the full picture of what's going through your head as you play.
Also, actually you can tell that the Phoenicians are in this game before you meet them: Normally the country color of Rome should be purple & gold, but in this game they took a brownish color, which means some other civ is color-coded purple. And Phoenicia is usually purple in civ 6. (the word "Phoeni" means purple, Phoenicians IRL were famous for their purple dyes.)
Edit: There are some rare cases when both Rome and Phoenicians are in the same game and both are color-coded purple, but normally there should be only one purple.
This series makes me wish I could subscribe twice. Absolutely loving the over-explanation, perfect balance of educational and easy to understand while still being very entertaining.
Once I tried using the mod "gold mine" and found that to be a big mistake as it worked on npc's as well. Then they would start buying settlers and have 20-30 cities and some of them were in between my cities or in spots i wanted to build.
I've been playing since Civ 1, but because of your videos, Civ 6 is the installment that I have played the most. Your detailed explanation of strategy and the finer points of the rules has made me a much better player and I am always excited to start another game. Please keep up the great work!
Thanks for this PotatoMcWhiskey! This is teaching at it's best!
This series has really helped me get a grip of the game as a newbie to 4x. I've gleamed the bare fundamentals of a couple of themes but they are providing great building blocks to access this game. Bravo 👏
I'm so grateful for these overexlained videos! Being able to see the thought process and reasoning behind each decision is so valuable, thank you!!!
11:48 OMG I love Pacha-cutie
I love these series! I've been playing Civ (and Civ VI) for a long time now, but really struggle at higher difficulties and planning into the future. These vids are highlighting all the things I didn't really think of!
Well, CIV is a game that's super easy, barely an inconvenience... Then I stumbled upon your videos :D Rarely have I been so wrong!
It's absolutely amazing how much there is to figure out and think about. And it's impressive how deep your knowledge is about this. Damn.
What I really like about the Urban Planning card is how much it boosts production in freshly-settled cities. +1 production quickly becomes less and less relevant in the capital, which should have 7+ production by the time you're spamming settlers, but a 1 population city that's focusing on food for growth can easily have only 1-2 production, which means Urban planning can double the starting production toward a monument or granary.
The more low-production cities you have, the better the card is in relative terms. it's not hard to imagine early-game scenarios where it gives you +30% production to the total production in your empire, which stacks with cards like Settlers, Ilkum or Agoge.
yes it might seem better relatively speaking, but +1 production per city, is still +1 production, and it adds up --- quickly adds up the more cities you have.
@PotatoMcWhiskey 1 GPT over 30 turns is valued at about 20 gold on standard speed. There is usually some slight rounding, but 20*GPT has consistently been within 10 gold of actual acceptable lump sum gold.
Thank you very much for this series!! Although I enjoy your videos, most of the times I get lost by the speed you play, but now I'm learning a lot! This is far better than any tutorial I've found so far.
I'm very much appreciating the extreme detail in your thought process. There's way more to the game, clearly, than I'd have suspected.
For me like 50h in this game its mindblowing how you wrap up your gold as much in this short period of time, through diplomatic actions. Thats great input!
I like your continuous mention of ROI. It's a simple idea, but ultimately super important for a game like this. I only just started playing civilization 6 recently, so hearing you mention it over and over has me thinking a lot about that when I go back to playing.
just came back to playing civ vi as a way to pass the work from home day and your videos have given me a lot of tips about setting up early game and ive been the better for it! Keep up the amazing content!
I’m a relatively new player and just started playing. I’ve been watching this series and it helps me a ton but it’s also overwhelming so I’m planning on rewatching a ton, haha! This is just amazing content-thanks for this series!
Here I am guys. 6 years too late. I have had vanilla gathering dust ...not storm...badumpch. Fired it up a few weeks back and now I am rehooked on civ. All these vids are gold to me ....and production. LOving it. I even slow it down to get the micro tips and enjoy potato sounding like a drunk post pub. These vids are great. Will also watch the Rome one and many more. I prefer this guy to others. Some are too loud, too annoying or just plain rude.
Been binging your videos at home and at work. I appreciate the content. I feel like I can re watch 1 of your videos 50 times and learn something new each time
@1:12 mark when he talks about pantheon selection, really eye opening discussion on analysis of the value...i always default to divine spark but got a lot of perspective from his discussion to make me think more about the decision next time
This series is the best thing I've seen from this channel. Like, the best of a lot of civ videos. Thanks for educating me on all the minutia of decision making. It really helps out!
Won my fist game on diety yesterday because of the first episode. The explanation of why you do things is great. My capital had crazy production, and I was gaining 30+ diplofavour per turn from suzerainty and alliances which made me crazy rich and powerful. 212 turns to win diplomatic :)
Potato, I've been watching you play Civ 5 - Duos for the last week, and it inspired me to go back and play a game of Civ 5. Turns out I have completely forgotten how to play Civ 5! I've played 4863 hours of Civ 5 in the past! WTF happened?
This series is probably the best gaming content I've ever seen on TH-cam, no joke
You explaining the profit outcome from your available choices DOUBLES the worth of playing this game.
Ah, Potato, your insight serves you well, bury your feelings deep; they do you credit but they could be made to serve your opponent.
I love the idea of you over showing off the detailed intricacies of basic gaming choices. I learn a LOT as a new player, not only to Civ, but to strategy games in general.
But also: I LIVE for the random, insider-like game breaking from high level understanding that I could never THINK to attempt even on Prince difficulty 🤦🏻♂️😂
Dare I say, an “over explained for experts” video just so you can stream of consciousness EVERY minor decision but on the meta level?
Am I making sense?! 😳🥵 I think I need a hot cup of Yorkshire Gold...wait a minute...
...what channel am I watching again? 🤔
I can't wrap my mind around that in round 66 great pyramids are still available for you. in my games they are gone in like 30ish turn. Super hard to build.
But thanks for the video, great help!
Love this series. I played a bit civ6 a year ago and hadn't played since civ 4 before then. Have some summer break time coming, so planning to do some civ. This is all very helpful.
Managed to win my first sub-200 culture victory on emperor today with Eleonore(France). I attribute at least like 20% of that victory to your teachings.
1:16:00
Lady of Marshed is very funny pantheon. I like to get it relatively early, when have 1-2 towns, and one of them has 3+ marsh tiles. Usually this town has no production , but has some grass and marsh. So this Pantheon is reviving, its very early and very big investment.
Your case is pretty bad for Lady:
1. Its not yearly, you cant work alot of it, because without aqueduct city is very poor about housing.
2. Boats pantheon is very handsome by making water tiles very balanced about yelds, and your empire going to have alot of coast.
But eventually its best pantheon in your case:
1) There are big swamp to the south-east, near blue warriors. So its great invesment if you will settle there.
2) Production is more expencive than faith or gold, so its yelds are more valuable
You had me at "over explained". I love the insight into the thoughts behind your decisions.
There is another point to be made about the pantheon choice. You said earlier in the episode something like stronger cities should help the weaker cities and that money (or resources) now is better than later. Choosing pantheon for reeds and marshes over fishing boats checks both boxes.
I learned yesterday that trade routes also add one level of visibility and that you get combat bonuses for every level of visibility that you have with another civilization. So with a delegation and a trade route to Rome, you upped your visibility two levels and effectively upped your combat strength against them.
Don't your trade routes cancel when you declare war on your trade partner?
They can, unless you have trader immunity from a golden age dedication. But having a trading post established in another civilization’s city also adds another level of visibility which gives you the combat bonus. This is why Catherine Medici is always kicking my butt in the early game. Also, I just realized that delegations cancel out during war sooo... scratch that strategy.
I play a mod that adds 'wildlife'. They're basically barbarian units that spawn randomly, so for me, Reform the Coinage is a must if I want to go heavy on traders.
I seem to learn new things every video. Keep it up, great videos and great content. Helped me understand how to utilize the Aztecs, Russia, and Norway much more effectively.
Ridiculously, super loaded with information and I’m loving it!
@PotatoMcWhiskey I really think you should've settled Damietta on that wheat plain. Your city being settled on a dead tile, plus desert, mountain. Harbor in same place, but with city center+ commercial possible under the city, you get good yields and a stronger start. Possible encampment on the desert under the floodplains for more adjacency
I only started playing the game in the last 3 few months. First it was Vanilla on my Switch, then I got a sweet laptop and play it with all of the DLC. It’s so weird watching “old” videos where autocracy has 2 military slots because I’ve never seen it and for a while thought something was wrong with my games build.
Oh my god I never knew you could delay technologies like that!!!! Thank you so much I will use that archer tech till the day I die.
"I spent 1 hour and a half talking about the battering ram".
It's not about what you have. It's about how you use it.
My favorite play in Civ 6 atm is to go for a faith generator, like earth godess, and then go for the ability of the palace that allows for buying units with faith. It gets really fun and more so when I choose exodus of the evangelists when that is available.
Don't be afraid to be overwhelmed....lol that's an understatement for me.
I really hope you see this:
That harvest you did to the campus actually went to the settler.
The time remaining kept at 7 turns, not 9 which it was originally, and didn't add the production to the Campus queue
+ I tested this myself these days and EVEN if you don't have anything pre-producing the harvest is lost
Whenever I see Trajan in this game I can't help but imagine him saying "I have a friend called Bigus Dickus"
Umm I wached the first one thinking it was 2 years ago?
That one is going to be redone fully
Sometimes you want to check your cities before you choose the Colonization policy card over the Urban Planning card. +50% production towards settlers isn't always better than +1 production - if your production is low enough, +50% production can be equal or less than the +1 production per turn. I find it easy enough to do a quicksave and reload if it turns out Colonization doesn't reduce the amount of time it takes to produce a settler compared to Urban Planning.
Thank you very much for this playlist! I'm learning to have the right mindset to play this game on higher difficulty!
25:00 You start placing pins talking about future plans. This would have been the perfect time to talk about wltk's Detailed Map Tacks mod. It automatically calculates your adjacency bonuses without you having to type them in. It also better illustrates the clustering of districts to maximize bonuses.
I found it very difficult to beat Canada in deity level and disaster mode "large map". They often win diplomatic victory very early. if she is not close to me, it most become impossible to win.
Thank you for your content! With advice from your videos and a convenient placement of the Bermuda Triangle I was able to just beat a friend of mine (who’s really good at strategy games) and another person to a victory by a 2 turns
