Entering a golden age with extra points increases citizens' Loyalty pressure on nearby civs. That is a part of new "Dramatic ages" mode I believe. That is why you seen them struggling
Funny thing is, I've been thinking for a while that I'd like to see just how fast Potato could crush the Prince AI, so this game, although perhaps not what you originally wanted, actually fulfilled that wish. Great vid as always!

9:14 haha I would really like to see you playing with Brazil with the adjacency bonus in double the rainforests (the supreme +12 adjacency that turns +24 with the card) 👌🏻
Potato it is truly amazing to see your channel growing like it is, I love your content and I just wanted to say you are such an amazing creator. Thank you.
0:20 Yes, because that just happened in a Multiplayer game to me. Imagine Game of Thrones, and you're Ramsey Bolton. All of the sudden, huge cavalry charge wipes out your huge army for a fudarken city state
It’s so cool the firaxis interacts with their community and sponsors it. Potato never says anything bad about civ so being sponsored changes nothing but his bank account balance
Fun fact, Byzantium is also one of the best naval civs despite having no bonus to naval production or naval unit-specific buffs. Just on the fact that they have a quadrireme replacement with 2 range and +10 damage to all units which still receives the bonuses from taxis, meaning they can actually siege cities properly way earlier than any other civ. The closest thing to them is Indonesia with the jongs in the medieval era.
To put it into perspective, Victoria gets a free boat when she builds a Royal Navy Dockyard, but not for every building in there, and they still require upkeep.
( meets Trajan as Basil) Basil: oh, hey, it’s Rome, Jr. Trajan: THATS YOUUUU! If anyone’s Rome, Jr. it’s you! We have the actual Rome! Basil (slightly later, the same dang turn): You were saying... Junior?
This Civ looks fun, but damn! That power creep is real. I don't mind super powered civs, but it'd be cool if they'd update some of the now-weaker, old civs at some point! Still messing with Gaul, and then I'll play a Byz. game. Oh, and 'grats on the sponsorship Potato!
Basil is so much fun man, Ive been playing him recently and just spamming holy site, hippodromes, commercial hubs, and tagmas, and im just destroying other civs in 10 turns or less
Today I won a science victory as Germany on deity after one Civ was on the moon before I had researched my spaceport. I had no oil or coal or uranium in my empire (got a bit from city states) and still managed to grind it out via high adjacency Hansa districts and city projects. Channeling all my trade routes to the spaceport city is a neat trick I learned from our beloved potato.

Byzantium: "Ooh, a yummy crossbowmen!!"
Crossbowman very tasty indeed
"Die for our faith!" (literally)
@@alex2005z Same, I literally killed every unit too fast, the AI didnt have enough production to even remotely keep up, despite their bonuses
Think about sulejman and industrial era

moral of the story: play prince for fun, been a while since i hear potato enjoy civ like this one
Yeah, it's much much much easier to snowball without the deity bonuses
