      Well, if you hover over for the description of a legendary position, it says that it can be good, but players don't get 'fair' starting locations. I think it removes the typical limits and values which AI uses to determine the regular starting position, so you can be either spawned next to a wonder or in the middle of a desert. Essentially, it's an unchecked RNG, not a guaranteed "better" location.

    Not just the poor location but the fact that you got boxed in after like 5 turns was imcredible. Honestly, your enthusiasm is amazing. I would have rerolled and even if I hadn't when I saw I had a sliver of the island and was jammed behind a CS and an opponent I would be rerolling. Putting yourself into these positions has made you a much better player. Good stuff.

    I had a random map put 4 nations out on peninsulas while I claimed the "mainland" -- I then began a very aggressive trading program with all of them. Each round of tech trading: +1 tech for them, +4 tech for me. I quickly started building the wonders and a military to aggressively keep them from contacting each other. It was an amusing game.

    How I would play this starting point:
    • Found a pantheon with desert folklore, and then a religion with work ethic; a Holy Site will have lots of adjacency bonuses and will add a ton of production to the city, increased through the Scripture policy card
    • Build both the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus _and_ Petra
    • Found other cities in more arable locations, build trader units, send them to the capital, and establish domestic routes
    • Use the adjacency bonuses provided by the two aforementioned wonders to build a Theatre Square, and build a Government Plaza between that _and_ the Holy Site; I'd also try to build a Harbor with at least +3 gold adjacency bonuses, and quickly add a lighthouse to it
    • Assign Magnus as the first governor and unlock Surplus Logistics; once I have another city with high food yields, I'll send Magnus there and assign Liang to the capital, with a particular focus on getting Aquaculture and building fisheries
    • Purchase a Granary ASAP
    There, now your capital is a powerhouse 😁

    ahhh! Potato forgetting to place the harbor after unlocking it gives me anxiety :(
    loving this idea!

    Still learning how to play but the last 2 games I’ve lost because the countries I was competing with added a couples of cities with 1-3 tiles tops and lost by a hair. Gotta love when you take back your city states and take most the country you’re at war with just to check the map and see 5 new super tiny cities, with absolutely no way of them flourishing, just a distinct and city center😢

    I tried to trade Britain citrus for 8 gold a turn and over 50 gold on top of that and she wasn't having it even when I threw up open borders.
    Then I took it all away and traded her tea and she was willing to give me all her gold which was 300 and pay 10 gold a turn.
    Not sure if this is intentional in the game but it sure is funny.

    Thanks for doing weird starts like this one. They're more interesting than good starts. Love it when you say "this city has no production, which is fine".
    "Adieu" is pronounced ad-ee-err, not ad-way.

    How do you reorder items in the build queue? When moving things around at 15:50

    At 2:50, how did you get the Edit Map Tack dialogue box right at the start? I've never seen that! 😢

    NGL, this kind of game is a lot more fun to watch than the games with good starts. Really looking forward to the next video!

    Good that you turned on "Legendary" start location. Legendary is going to be your play to revert that awful start and get a win out of this. Good luck with that! Great video as always, Potato.

    Such a Scottish start. Terrible lands next to a much better off, much richer neighbor.

    Legendary start 😂 i think in the Late game, aluminium Uran and oil will spawn massive nearby, but than you are since 200 years dead

    I have a question about placement of districts, why did you plan the harbour in the western tile intead of the south-eastern tile? It is still next to a fish that way and is also next to 3 tiles of coastal land, all of which can have districts further increasing the district projected adjacency bonus: just that science districty alone would elevate it to a +4 and two other districts would make it a +5. The place where it is planned will never increase above +3.

    Is that a mod in 2:17 that show extra detailed hexes for city in Settler Lens?

  • @TheLastSoundNL
    @TheLastSoundNL ปีที่แล้ว

    Man I thought I had a bad start in my current game, but this is on another level... I had a huge flat desert as Freddy Germany with only minimal campus spot, but at least I have space to settle build districts and get it that way.

    As a new player, seeing you pull off this start on Deity gives me hope on my bad starts on prince difficulty, maybe I should stop rerolling, trying to work with bad odds and make them work seems like as fun as getting favorable odds.
