@@SybilantSquid ...yes? I feel like you're trying to make a joke, but you're actually correct. Ships have been guided by non-wheel methods for FAR longer than they have by wheeled ones. Ship's wheels for steering weren't used until the the start of the 18th century. Boats have been around...longer than that. 😉
@@ironman4do indeed, most used just a simple straight shaft. more complex wooden boat designs had a rudimentary gear box of sorts (a reduction gear) to give the pilot mechanical advantage enough to turn a 1 tonne+ rudder in any sea state.
Just like the way every peaceful game of Civ always ends. AI forcing the player to build a military. And when it's finally there the only reason not to use it is being too lazy to do so.
Right as in my current Russia ultrawide faith game. In Modern Era Mayans tried to capture Valetta, which provided me excellent ability to almost at no price instabuild seadams. So, by my own rules of RP I declared protectorate war and prayed to my God, Crabess of the Universe, to send me tanks and artillery armies. Some 20 turns later, half of Mayan empire is already in ashes and salt.
I think that actually has happened in history, I think it was the Mayans who had a pretty solid level of technology for the time but had no idea what the wheel was.
So this is what happens if the Anglo-Saxons never invaded the British Isles. The Scots becomes a golf-course-building, maritime powerhouse while bordering a strong Indian Empire that presumably fought all its way from Asia 😂
Only India invading and colonizing that Eastern half of the land would be better than it is now... of course in the search of spices they'll never use 😂
Frigates were so-called before ships' wheels became common, yes. The heyday of the frigate did come after the wheel's adoption, however, which is why most depictions of them have wheels.
the things I love about civ, discovering the wheel in the 1200's as a naval civ, "why would you roll things on a wheel when you can float them over the water 4head" XD
Just gotta say, this was a very impressive run that really showcased Potato's skill. He really turned around a terrible start - there's no way in God's green Earth I would've even attempted this and now he's in a dominant position...well done.
You should, it's really fun to challenge yourself, even if you know you're very likely to lose. I got a game I'm playing with a friend of mine where I started on a mountain range locked peninsula. My friend got a great start. Inspired by this series, I chose not to ask for a restart. I'm just interested to see what I might be able to eke out.
@@asraarradon4115Herm, was just percolating on a China wonder/culture run. I like doing a Civ run all in one day so gotta clear up some time first, but I'll keep that in mind. I do generally enjoy playing at the top difficulties in most games and I always play deity in Civ, it's just lately I've been getting rushed early and that's been pretty frustrating. My last game Canada of all Civs took me out on like turn 21. I'm hoping my next game will be better, heh, but I'll keep your suggestion in mind 👍
if you have the turn 1 save you should send this around as a challenge run to the other civ boys, that first chad settle right next to you is such a jumpscare itll be great
I love when Potato centers his camera on things that he says he needs, while saying he needs them, but also not seeing that thing (Niter near the City pin by Zanzibar)
It bothered me so much, he was like "Oh I'm gonna have to buy Niter" "We don't have any niter" I was almost screaming to the monitor "IT'S IN FRONT OF YOU!!"
I have 1780 hours in Civ 6, have watched you live on Twitch and many VODs here, and just today learned you can trade gold per turn for raw gold. Thanks for everything you do!
Potato taking 2 food/2 production internal routes when routes to Macedon or any of his suzed city states will give him those exact benefits plus way more
I’m glad he puts out the videos daily because it’s a bit difficult to follow civ games if you have 2 or 3 day gaps especially if your watching more than 1 or 2 civ games at that time
Maori: "Our poets and philosophers hold up your civilization as the light of the world." Scotland: "Thanks" *goes back to scratching pictures in the dirt with sticks*

Im never really sure what alliances to get with what civ so its interesting to give culture to the second place culture civ to slow down lady six sky
Having a chuckle at Haddington, after my comment on the last video. If only the AI razed it 🤣 Loving this playthrough captain potatoman. I couldn't have turned that start around
Listening to you talk about the game as ya play and all the little details you know makes me wish i knew how to play it, even on prince difficulty i just cant seem to balance everything
Just did a random playthrough with Scotland. This is the first game I’ve played (other than Seondok) where I was able to outpace the AI in science and great people recruitment
Quick question, isnt it a little bit of a waste to hard build granary monument in every new city by this phase of the game? Given the gpt and not saving money for anything in particular, i always feel that 240 gold is fairly cheap for a granary.
I love your videos very good learning experience. I would’ve reset right away but you just rolled with the bad spawn and here you are destroying the game! I wish I was as good as You lol
I think with wisselbanken, there's no real point doing internals, when you're getting half the production and food anyway, plus a shitton of gold which can also help new cities.
Mali learned the hard way. If he's going to screw with Potato's Scottish Empire, be sure to wear a steel-reinforced condom. It'll hurt him more than Potato!
I've never thought about it too much because I've never recognized a time it's hurt me before, but what's the reason that you and many other creators I see playing on Deity all the time (boes, Ursa, etc) convert all the GPT into Gold whenever trading? Mathematically it's the same amount (I think) and I see the benefit of having that gold for immediate purchases, but even when you're not digging for a purchase right away you all covert it regardless.
You pretty much nailed it already. A lot of this game'a strategy is about getting resources online as early as possible, and gold helps you do that much faster through buying buildings. Gold now, because it helps you kick off that snowball effect earlier, is pretty much always better than gold later.
“But I’ll tell you what is also coming, it’s the end of this episode and your mom when I’m with her. See you guys next time!” Potato knows we would all be honored if he dated our moms after this brilliant game of civ.
Congratulations, you've done so well persevering with what looked like a hopeless game. Just one thing, you had the benefit of culture bombing when building a new district. If you used it in your new city of Scone, you would have stolen a mega-luxury and some coal, stealing 4 hexes from Venice.
Can you do a deity domination guide. I keep messing up the timing on when to go to war. I have won on deity before but if the ai finds me I have such a hard time coming back and if I try to initiate the war I run out of steam
First off, you got frigates. Which requires a wheel to steer, before you even had the wheel. That's awesome lol Secondly, I have a serious question. Seeing what happened to your one city with no walls, why aren't walls being built?
@@LAZERAK47V2 Well that (obviously) depends on whether you are talking a 17th or a 19th century frigate (and how you define "renaissance" and "industrial"...) Technologies change with time, after all.

Can't wait for Mel Gibson to make it a movie!
i like how you discovered industrialisation and the scientific theory before the wheel
what good is the wheel in the Scottish deserts and hills? :D
“I call it the ‘flywheel,’ it will be used to maintain momentum in our new industrial machinery” “what’s a wheel?”
*hasn't discovered flight*
"What's fly?"
@@reppinTV"what do you call it when birds are in the air?"
"You mean up-walking?"
I think that actually has happened in history, I think it was the Mayans who had a pretty solid level of technology for the time but had no idea what the wheel was.
Congrats to Scottish pirates for discovering The Wheel in 1260 AD!
They took a roundabout route
18:21 “that’s gonna massively jump up our gold income”

Hahaha didn't notice that! The game was also glitching earlier. While Samarkand was conquered, he was able to put envoys into it.

FREEDOOOM!
And then they completely love them (souzerain)
You know, there can exist actual political reasons for doing that, as odd as that sounds. 😅
That series of moves absolutely blew my mind
idk why, but not buying the coal tile in Peairt and seeing it go to Venice really hurt my heart :(
i had to do a double take just to suffer it again
@@MrDeerJr a true CBT (coke and bituminous coal torture) enjoyer, I see!
Yes I had the same thought. He should have bought the tile as soon as he discovered coal
I can handle watching bad decisions, but watching a blunder hurts
Breh, you really going to slip in that joke at the end and think we don't notoce. 32:33 XD
Probably the most Scottish thing ive ever heard:

"Im going to put a golf course here."
