I really appreciate how quick you are at uploading edited vods onto youtube. The disconnects and remakes are so frustrating to sit through! I hope you review your games, because I noticed right away at the beginning that there's no way you could've known that mountain range was complete, it was a guess by you, because both mountains and woods give +1 appeal and you couldn't know which it was. You decided to assume, not check, and it massively impacted your early game. You'd have been much more likely to get a golden age from the improved scouting you could've done, plus even raced Rome to expand in that direction. Still a great game and there's many things you do that I can't think of under that time pressure!
Great gameplay as always, Herson! Love the strategic moves and the banter-it really makes multiplayer Civ 6 so entertaining to watch. Looking forward to seeing how this game unfolds! Keep up the awesome content! /s
@ellie6091 I think it's a lot different than when people use ai art as a substitute for something where a real picture or artistic depiction would be helpful or constructive. Like I saw a business use ai art to depict a local park and wanted to heave. It seems to me that the ai nonsense in this context is pretty clearly the butt of the joke.
@@dylanberger8701 i just disagree. no matter it's purpose its a cause of increased power consumption and artists could be paid to make the same art. like "goat in suit and glasses" isn't some outlandish idea, you can just have someone draw it
One of my military academies has a minus 2 science modifier. Can you think of any explanation for that? Thanks! I'm playing as Pericles with no mods fwiw.
i really respect and appreciate what you do herson, but please do not support AI "art", because it's founded upon stealing the work of human artists for profit, and not giving them a single cent in return
I was completing the state workforce civic by triggering its inspiration (build any specialty district). There was no way for me to make progress towards Political Philosophy on that turn, as putting a turn into researching the state workforce civic would've been a complete waste.
Video is too quiet, make it louder next time. My volume is at 100 and I can barely understand you, and when the ad comes, my loudspeaker says goodbye. GG
@ I’m an artist myself, and for dumb things like this I have no qualms with it The problem is when it’s used for things like marketing, when AI things are monetized, or when art is taken and the model is trained on without any consent.
So funny every time AI art is mentioned or shown in any capacity, you have the anti-AI white knights storming the comment section to do their duty and make sure everyone knows how much they hate AI art lmao. Every time I see this I laugh, because how many of you who are hating on AI art have ever done anything to support human made art in your life? And how many of you have ever even stood still and cared about art to begin with? Most people, including almost everyone who hates on AI art now because it is the new thing to hate on, have always taken art for granted, nor really cared much about these things anyway. You also never see these people praise, care about or appreciate art made by artists anyway, but when AI art is mentioned, they suddenly have to crawl out the woodworks to swarm the comment section with their virtue signaling! Lol!
It's funny, you would think people who plays video games would actually care more about art in general and not use AI images, because graphics and the design of how a game should play are all artistic and expression of creativity (like "video games should be considered art" argument). No, there are a lot of legit reasons to hate on AI generated images, even if we don't consider the impact of the livelihood of an artist being ripped away. Generating AI image takes a lot of computation power based on the energy cost training them (just like NFT and crypto) for things that look off and are generally redundant. Those AI generated videos are especially bad, but just because a human takes one of the screenshot that looks better out of all the slop it had already generated doesn't mean it is good at its job and at all efficient. And have you not seen those stupid falsehood plaguing Google's search engine as the top result? Even if it will be gone eventually, sometimes Google will try to quote the webpage itself and they probably can't enforce if those article use AI. The fact you see people complaining about a thing they care about and see them as virtue signaling when most of them are probably fans of an artist on some social media in the first place and don't want their work being plagiarised and see it as "never appreciate art and artist" is some twisted logic.
@@internetexplorerpony It is different if people have a legitimate criticism, rather than the silly hate they espouse without any reason, merely as an emotional reaction without any thought behind it. There's things in this world which are significantly worse for the environment than AI, NFT's or Crypto (Lithium mining for electric car batteries as a prime example), so I'm personally not very concerned on the environmental impact that these things have, as compared to more serious environmental issues (Microplastics, environmental damage from excessive deforestation to make way for palm oil planting and other similar nonsense, waste materials that nobody knows what to do with, such as "green energy" waste (Windmill rotor blades, solar panel scrap which cannot be recycled and is extremely toxic to the environment as well as very bulky and thus cannot be disposed off by any known means). Overall, most of the criticism on these things is hyperbolic compared to the reality around them, especially as compared to other more problematic issues that nobody seems to have on their mind at all. That is also why I find this funny, because Crypto, AI and whatever are the least of our concerns right now (Well, AI can become a serious problem, for different reasons than the energy consumption of the technology).
Interesting take, but let’s unpack this a bit. The core issue with AI art isn’t just about the tech being ‘cool’-it’s about the ethics behind it. AI often uses datasets scraped from countless artists’ work without permission, profiting from their labor while undermining their livelihoods. It also devalues the time, skill, and creativity real artists bring to the table, reducing art to something transactional and mass-produced. Innovation is great, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of exploiting creatives or hollowing out the integrity of their craft.
@@luka188 I listed energy cost as an issue because even if you don't care about artists' work being used without their permission and in turn taking away their jobs, there are still real impacts and damages caused by AI and crypto. And given you have not refuted me on that point, I hope you understand that those people making art for a living still deserves a job for creating something unique based on their own experience of life, just like other creative profession like singers, actors, especially voice actors and writers as AI mimicking writing and voices are pretty easy to make, thankfully the use of AI to "revive" dead actors haven't took off after a few attempts of it. You said that stuff like Wind and Solar are not "good" for the environment, do you know why people are still using and developing them? Because the alternative is coal and oil which is way worse at causing environmental damages. You not being concern about crypto and AI's environmental impact doesn't mean they don't exist, in fact, if this is your excuse that people are caring about it too much based on your own beliefs, you are wrong. Because real life is complicated, there are some ironic things happening as well. Despite the tech bros insistence of the hype of crypto and AI and buying up most of the GPUs to use them (making their cost sky high for normal people using them for their computer. If you want some real impact, on top of the pandemic slowing down shipping, they drove up microchips cost so much it impacted manufacturing of the new gen gaming consoles), their energy demand is enormous enough they are limited by the current fossile fuel infrastructure, thus they pushed a lot of their money for R&D on renewable energy and making new renewable infrastructure to meet their own demend. If you are truly passionate about renewable technology being as bad as they are, then here is a reason you should hate crypto and AI tech bros, the people spearheading changes you hate (like we do for a different reason). I hope you are not listing only the bad said of renewable technology just to sidetrack using a whole bunch of energy on something that is merely a curiosity is wasteful at best. Crypto is still just a tool to make money by trading and not actually as useful as real money/normal online money transfer method; most AI stuff are overselling their capability, like ChatGPT are showing a lot of cracks that made them less and less reliable. However, even not talking about the energy cost, you didn't seem to comment on Google's AI summery giving wrong or even deadly info and simply regarded them as "AI can become a serious issue" and not "already is", that alone can and should make most people mad at AI and people insisting on implimenting those changes without caring about their consequences.
AI art illegally steals hundreds of millions of man hours without permission or compensation to those it pilfers from to make uninspired slop that for some reason unwashed techbros gawk over. Not only that to power these stupid and useless little toys we use whole countries worth of electricity to run them all so the laziest amongst us doesn't have to put in any effort whatsoever to any sort of soulful creation.
GOATED START (gets normal age)
ai art is oxymoronic
that hole in the mountain range couldve changed the whole game if you knew about it
I had the same thought, if only he hadn't megaminded himself into thinking it was a dead end D:
I'm just watching 20 mins in that is a WILD plot twist wow
I almost get the point of using ai art as like a tool here but what could be the point of having "ai lore" for a civ tournament?
SLOP THUMBNAIL DETECTED

Also Tokugawa: Banned :(
Apparently, wasn't banned on the third game 😅

Just draw a 30 second goat in paint and it would be 10 times more endearing. Otherwise like the videos

lil pup in chat typed "Hut tuah" im done
25 minutes in "I'll never win this game, not even playing for first, missed my golden age" Typical Herson negativity. Love it.
Ai art is gross
Absolute clown organizers tbh
What do you mean?
@@elishagraus8513 AI art, writing, etc. Complete loser behaviour.
herson is already the G.O.A.T in my eyes for clowning on AI
I think ab Lincoln prevents a lot of religious shenanigans with the free units
Kupe on 1100 culture per turn before turn 100 is insanity
2:39:14 start of the schizophrenic checking for the great general
lmfao i feel like you really tried your best to not flame the "AI" aspect
booo AI art is lame 👎
I love it when AI generated nonsense is used in places that would look much better & be more readable if they were gone without replacement.
I'm an ai art hater but I don't mind when it's used to make stupid pictures of things acting uncharacteristically.
@@dylanberger8701 then you aren't an ai hater?

It would've been so much funnier and better if hand drawn Microsoft stick figure goats were used instead of the AI art
its just, a herson start.
Hey man what are ur thoughts on civ7?
When did Men At Arms get changed to military tactics in BBG.
Bro burped at 1:52:57 and thought we never noticed
One of my military academies has a minus 2 science modifier. Can you think of any explanation for that? Thanks! I'm playing as Pericles with no mods fwiw.
boo AI!
AI cannot make art, only slop. Sad to see this shit continually being used and normalized.
i really respect and appreciate what you do herson, but please do not support AI "art", because it's founded upon stealing the work of human artists for profit, and not giving them a single cent in return
I don't think he supports it at all, the intro and his hearts kinda make this clear
eww, ai sucks
are the greek names so that everyones anonymous? thats cool
Yes! Thats what was said in the beginning:)
Why did you research mysticism for a turn? Wouldnt you have got political philosophy in time had you fone that?

@HersonCiv that makes complete sense, thank you
What is it that makes abe linkoln so strong?
Imagine playing pepega 0 alliance tournament and you highroll persia

My volume is always just fine. Maybe ask which aspect of the video is too quiet? Do you want to hear in game sounds louder? Do you want Herson louder?
Oha third comment! Love you’re vids Herson!
Greetings from Germany
Hi Herson
pls play rooome w/ trajan
Very very boring lobby :(
What happened to Lege and Michael?
They were spectating this game. This is also why they were using their regular usernames instead of using pseudonyms like the actual players.
Goat video :3
I am goat
Why is everyone in these games european except you
I think he lives there. I could be wrong though
The server is 95% europeans
I don’t mind the AI because it’s so silly and stupid
Bad reasoning. Educate yourself
