One day in 900 AD Scythia invented the airplane, and the world ended because everyone ditched what they were doing to go look at the piles of rocks they made
I know I contributed to Scythia's culture victory when I visited Kurgan #65, super underrated. TripAdvisor recommended Kurgan #32, but I like to visit the less touristy sites, y'know.
Fun fact: in Russia we have a city literally named Kurgan, which was called that way because it was settled near one of the largest kurgans, the Tzar Kurgan. My sister lives there. This fact, I feel, is not as fun though 😅
I can't believe I let myself get excited for a heroes legends play other than himiko or hercules just for instantly abandon the idea seconds later when he finds himiko.
Scythia was my fastest win ever. Turn 66 on deity on standard pangea with everything set to normal and no mods. They used to snowball absolutely out of control back when the game was released and loyalty wasn't yet a thing. Now they're not even half as good as they used to be. I like that Firaxis tried giving Scythia more dimension than just kill everyone but the one thing that I don't understand is why Kurgans don't add positive appeal. If they gave appeal it would have buffed them more than an extra faith with stirrups, because then you would be able to use Earth Goddess and actually get an economy based only on faith and gold.
Yeah I wish kurgans gave appeal or bare minimum at least +1 housing. I know they tried to give them tourism in the April patch but you're rarely going to be using them for that reason anyways so why not just give them housing
@@boesthius housing would make them slightly superior to the monasteries that Armagh gives and have at least some use cases. It would be better than a single farm for sure.
I like to imagine that we discovered horses the same way we do in civ. One day, horses just spawned out of nowhere. No evolution, just pop into existence. (also Boes breaking the game challenge? AGAIN? wHy NoT fIx It challenge, hello?
U won a culture victory, but can u go to space bulding only kurgans and praying to the Cthulhu?(kurgans only VoidSingers science victory) P.S. if u pile stones long enough, u can reach the space, am i right?
I've got a challenge for you Boes. Win a Science or Culture victory with Amanitore Nubia but all your districts must have 0 adjacency. Basically using Nubian pyramids to "create adjacency". I've tried this challenge 2 times and lost 2 times it's pretty hard. Game modes on.
I once set myself (and completed) a Faithless Challenge - I had to complete a victory without ever earning a single point of faith. The ability to choose which natural wonders to enable helps, same with city states (No religious city states wanted). Even then, you have to either turn off Tribal Villages (or accept that a tribal hut can ruin a run), and be very careful not to build cities close to a resource that grants faith, such as cotton - AND you cannot complete a trade route that gives faith, use policy cards like Triangular Trade, or build any faith-generating Wonder... You also cannot do anything to defend against an AI civ with a religion, if they spread it, to stop them from gaining a religious victory. I eventually won, using a Duel map, with two versions of Mvemba as opponents, to ensure that no religion would start up...
"Only building kurgans" 35:00 That's Moais... You removed it in the end but I'm convinced that void singer's faith would've helped you achieving your victory faster with kurgan only
Boethius if you don't know,the kurgans are graves in fact,where rich buried with some expensive things,they believe that if they bury themselves with some expensive things,so they will be afterlife rich,so if you build a lot of kurgans you should lose the population(source:I am kazakh,the scyfians descendants)
Do you have a setting that makes ads play and play and play? I just notice that having your videos running i the background sooner or later I'm just listending to endless ads. I don't recall this happening with potato mcwhiskey. Maybe i'm wrong. I'll check.
Not necessarily no I literally leave it as default. I know they changed some ad stuff recently so maybe that's why but can you tell me how many/when they're happening? I might need to adjust em
@@boesthius I was getting 30-60 seconds of the same add. Ive noticed on other channels I seem to subconsciously tolerate 20 seconds of ads, about two ads. I'll see if it happens again. (I like your content)
@@boesthius I am watching Eleanor passive domination video. In the first 13mins, it has played nearly 6 minutes of ads. Including a 3min30sec ad for another game. Note, I can skip, but it means I can't work and play your content so i just wanted to share this experience in constrast to other streamers I've been enjoying.
I don't understand why the AI can demand you move troops from their borders (this is especially annoying when your Alliance expires but you're in a mutual war) but the player can't do the same. Considering there is a literal Casus Belli for breaking a promise.
If you keeo posting videos as regularly as the last couple days it won't cure depression...but it do believe it will eventually give you something that will make each a day a bit easier to get through.
Also Anansi. Heroes and Legends + Corporations basically break the game. If you want a more 'fair' playthrough I would recommend only Barbarian Clans and Secret Societies. The AI is dogshit at utilising all the extra features from the bonus gamemodes so it makes the game much easier.
Hey! Did you know!!
Horses are back for a limited time?
That felt like an adult swim commercial
i have brainrot from tiktok @@thomasratigan
I thought it was really good 😂
I will enjoy horses; thank you!
Absolutely brain damaged intro, was laughing so hard. Welcome back brother
One day in 900 AD Scythia invented the airplane, and the world ended because everyone ditched what they were doing to go look at the piles of rocks they made
Jesus Christ Marie! They're Minerals!
I mean if someone covered their entire country in rocks, I can’t say I wouldn’t be interested
« Mom, dad! We have to visit Scythia to see these Kurgans!! My friend Jenny went and she loved it »
@@schemax horsing bad lesssgooo😆
To be fair, they are pretty cool rocks.
I know I contributed to Scythia's culture victory when I visited Kurgan #65, super underrated. TripAdvisor recommended Kurgan #32, but I like to visit the less touristy sites, y'know.
You should totally visit Kurgan #43. It's just as good as 32 but less popular, so you can actually appreciate the locale
Fun fact: in Russia we have a city literally named Kurgan, which was called that way because it was settled near one of the largest kurgans, the Tzar Kurgan. My sister lives there. This fact, I feel, is not as fun though 😅
tell her I say hi
Tzar Kurgan is located on Crimea peninsula which is Ukraine, not Russia
@@MT-me2sg There are several Kurgans that have this name. And I don't need you to teach me geography of my own country.
@@jahoyhoy55555 Well obviously some people in your country do need a geography lesson, glad you are not one of them.
@@MT-me2sg You're not giving any lessons, you're just being obnoxious
we love horses
they're back
for a limited time
@@boesthiusEnjoy horses
This is basically how the AI plays Scythia in most of my games. Just spams Kurgans from the get-go and doesn't do much better than that.
I can't believe I let myself get excited for a heroes legends play other than himiko or hercules just for instantly abandon the idea seconds later when he finds himiko.
That horse intro felt like an adult swim commercial
This one was insanely fun to watch man 😊.
And the best thing about it was settling that desert city, and completing 3 wonders before u get to pop 2 😂
To see the exact 4 game modes I always play with referred to as "regular game modes" was amazing. Thanks for making great civ content

here i go enjoying horses again 🐴
horses are back

Horses go brrrrr
Man, I can't believe you really placed down all those Currigans. Good job, Boes!
what the fuck is this editing im fucking howling. Horses Are Back
For a limited time only
U won a culture victory, but can u go to space bulding only kurgans and praying to the Cthulhu?(kurgans only VoidSingers science victory)

Love your content! hope you are making sure to get enough fresh air, I can only imagine the amount of time you put into these Civ6 sessions
Intro 10/10 *chefs kiss*
no notes
I’m so glad horses are back for a limited time I missed them last time
Would love to see the vod of you beating this with no game modes!
Boy I sure love horses for a limited time, but you know what else i love? space horses and cities made of several rock spires
Man do y’all remember at launch there was an infinite gold glitch with Scythia building and selling horses? I wish that was back for a limited time.
mummy tomyris
Boes more coming next video, and you might get a like
HORSES ARE BACK????????????
"You're just spamming the keyboard, you're not doing anything"
...love you, proud of you ❤
I would love to speak to you of the beauty of the horses
Nader Shah reference!

“I razed a city and he doesn’t hate me”
That’s because Korea is the one who declared war in the first place, therefore the grievances evened out
i hope you hit 100k by the end of the year my man!! you deserve it
Ridiculous that civilization that has almost only graveyards across their lands, became the most attractive place for tourism
All was well until Sun Wu Kong cam- arrived.
BRB, new IRL horse update just dropped, gonna go check it out.
Loving the consistency of stayc references
I really like your videos... Thank you very much for keep doing that!
Wait, you made that limited time horses meme. Fucking legend. I can't find it on youtube
Hahaha I made a rendition of it, if you look up BolognaShack on tiktok that's where I got it from
@@boesthius The horses have landed. Think I found it
Really cool challenge win! Obviously an S-tier intro as well 🐴
HORSES ARE BACK
Have you tried a Mission-only science victory as Spain?
No but that sounds awful
Which isbperfect
i tried poland religious victory using forts - i failed miserably and uninstalled the game

I mean when a civilization's whole economy is powered by kurgans who wouldnt want to visit that place
i wanna see an eco challenge. going portugal and getting as much eco as humanly possible then winning either diplo or science.
TH-camr getting a relic from tribal villages again?..
COULDN'T BE ME

40:16 kurgan... kurgan... karrigan?! That came out of nowhere
I've never enjoyed horses more ❤
Is this video about patriarchy? Because there are a lot of horses

Boes my loading screen is small and don’t know how to fix please help
next time maybe you can play as Yongle then surround all your cities with the great wall wherever possible, the tourism will go burr even faster
Its Kurgan' time
When you say "Anansi" it sounds like "a Nazi" and that trips me up every time
I like horses, best of all the animals, I like horses, they're my friend!
My friendship with scythia ended when i see the blue bar
I just started playing this game.
THEY GOT GIANT ROBOTS!?
My multilingual brain just went stupid when you swapped to Nihongo. You're very Jozu.
intro funny, good job civ man
Boes I know mental illness is a lot of work but I miss your Civ 6 video
Bro boes that intro was soooooo good
Dave stands for
Dave
Awesome
Viral

*licks sweat off of Tomyris' chiseled nose*
Boes you hurt me. Got Chris Collinsworth saying double doink in there. As a Bears fan that makes me sad.
Wait, what? Boes with wasted era score? I'm shocked. Shocked I say.

No A-mund-sen Scott ❤😂 GG, nice win 🎉
17:30 I guess that's what happens when you play way too fast 😂
my major downfall
26:01 this looks familiar...
if you know, you know.
If this video doesn’t end with boes singing goodbye horses at least once I’m gonna be so mildly upset.
I don't understand why the AI can demand you move troops from their borders (this is especially annoying when your Alliance expires but you're in a mutual war) but the player can't do the same.

Have you ever considered making like a quick 20 minute pantheon tier list
What is the best leader for science victory?
I.. Must obey.. Must enjoy horses... They're back for a limited... Time..
Markilpier obviously came for horses. As did I
If you keeo posting videos as regularly as the last couple days it won't cure depression...but it do believe it will eventually give you something that will make each a day a bit easier to get through.
Yeah but have you tried meeting a civ for the first time with a Giant Death Robot?
My god i love the markiplier memes.
Enjoy the horses for Dave!
Thought he said no wonders lol 29:02

oh yeah i forgot about anansi thank you - yeah and this was more or less about breaking the game and less about making it "fair" haha but you get it~
PETER THE HORSE IS HERE
idk how but that intro broke me. couldnt stop laughing
Enjoy horses.
How did you not get mangled by barbs? Any games where I spawn with that much free space near me, its a crusade upon me.
By taking care of em early and scouting - barbs won't spawn in areas where you have units/active vision
Step 1 - find horses
Step 2 - Stack rocks
Step 3- profit
Is it weird that I really want D. A. V. E to grow that much lol
Love these meme tourism wins!
Yields go kurrrrr-gan.
I've already forgotten how awful is civilization without bbg and bbs...
tbh bbs has kinda been fucky lately
Kurgan wins the first CS2 Major???
What in the world is happening around 7:30?
Magic
Why did he raze Korea s City? Wouldnt it be better to Take it?
I DID IT FOR DAVE, YOU DO IT FOR DAVE TOO!
