4:30 Mali is my fav civ and what you just said here is killing me! Mali doesn't have bad production. It has a production penalty for units and building but the rest is normal => building districts, wonders and projects are unaffected by the penalty so yeah a 3 turn spaceport is absolutly normal: since it's a district, it has normal production. Usually after I made a district, it can be better to just make a project and get the yields (gold faith) rather than hard building a building with 70% of the prod or building a wonder to get the era score early to play monumentality
Took me quite a long time to realize that you should always invade cities with a melee attack by aircraft carriers if possible. For the promotions and extra slots. Maybe it was different in civ5.
Fun to see AI with advanced aircraft. I remember in my first game ever (on Prince as Frederick) that Cyrus had biplanes and was attacking my units with 2 of them. They were biplanes so, terrible yes. But I was quite surprised to see that they so infrequently get built even in higher difficulty. Might be for the best though as an aggressive bombing prone AI would be prohibitively difficult for most players. Maybe if it was a game mode, Flight Rage.
Love to see the Amundsen Scott Research Centre! One synergy I like to do with it is utilise the improved appeal that a wonder gives and try to place it somewhere alongside a preserve in the tundra so the city can still get yields.
There would come a moment when a famous journalist Urser Ryanson, who was expelled from Oxford University News and created his own Giant Crabs Network, would have an interview with Mansa Musa and ask, "But why burn hungarian cities in flames with cutting-edge airforce and conquer foreign lands with formidable cavalry troops?", for which he would receive an answer, "I know you studied History at the University of Sankore, so let me give a brief historical review of our relationships with Hungary. In those yonder times, when people could not yet write, we have undeniable written sources of people coming from the lands liberals today call Hungary and swinging their deathly sticks at us..."
There's always a way to win when you have money! I always struggle to get Mali going. Not settling in the desert with your first city is definitely a big brain move. Shame not to have Owls, though. That would be juicy.
Here's an idea for a game with a financial civ: Make as much money as possible, but don't spend any of it. See how quickly you can hit 8,388,608 gold while still winning on deity.
In today's episode, war! Huh! What is it good for? Mali declares war on Hungary, and takes a city in short order, before turning their eyes on Buda. A couple of Armies get bought, and then Helena Rubinstein gets recruited, bringing Cosmetics to the Malian people. Buda falls, and Mali gains two additional policy slots, another few cities shortly after that, and a third policy slot gets added. Mohenjo Daro get liberated, so there is hope for Kumasi. Mali then takes a free city on the Incan border, and decides to keep it. Ursa discovers that Yongle has discovered Nanotech, and thus a war between the two superpowers heads towards an inevitability. More Hungarian cities fall, and it is discovered that one of them was originally Incan, which is promptly handed back to them. Mali discovers that Yongle his building the Golden Gate bridge, and shortly after, Hungary's second to last city falls. Collective Activism gets put into the government in place of Free Market, because almost a thousand culture is more important than around a 100 gold. Mali goes into space and finds another natural wonder, earning a relic, and gets a better overview of how it has been going for everyone else. The Malinese people quickly prays in a lot of walls into being on the eve of Steel being discovered. Mali then learns that they are almost gaining enough tourists to offset Chinas culture production, so Online Communities gets put into the government. Would you believe that Mali put a man on the Moon? Then they discover Uranium, no, no, it's Our-ranium, and recruit Schrödinger, who is still salty about the cat thing. Ngazargamu gets found and suzerained, and now it is cheaper to buy units in cities with encampment district buildings. Now that armies are incredibly cheap to purchase in certain cities (Gao), the Malian army starts to get built to a size that would make the US jealous. Mali then learns that going to war with China may be a bad idea, as it would cause four other nations to declare on them, including their former ally Korea. But there is a loophole. Mansa Musa declares war on Spain, dragging China into the war due to their alliance, but leaving the others allied with China out of it. Hungary offers Mali a peace deal, and Mali offers them a better one back, allowing them to keep all their gold and resources, which Hungary accepts. Portugal agrees to become friends, and then allies with Mali again, so an Economic alliance is formed. Mali switches to Synthetic Technocracy, allowing them to boost their happiness levels up to ecstatic, and their energy levels up to useful. An Aircraft Carrier takes down Nanking, and England denounces Mali, as China's army advances to the front of the war. Bilbao decides they want to be part of the Malinese Empire and joins willingly, getting Spanish Troops caught out in the fields without protection. Shanghai gets taken by Mali, and Mansa Musa discovers that Yongle is working on a Mars Colony. However, Mali launches theirs first, asking the question, is there life on Mars? Another Chinese city gets taken, causing them to lose a battleship in the process. Another great engineer is recruited and more cities are taken. Wolin gets liberated from Spain, making Mali their first Suzerains, with Brussels getting liberated shortly after. More Chinese cities get taken, and one of their space ports get bombed. Admundsen Scott then gets built by Mali. Beijing falls to the Malinese Expeditionary Force, and then the Eiffel Tower gets built in the same city as the Research Station. More Chinese and Spanish cities get liberated from their oppressors to join the land where the streets are quite literally paved with gold. Seriously, Mali is earning so much of it. Hungary falls out of the game, and a plan is made to get them back in. Mali then begins spamming mechs. Yongle gets brought down to one city, but the decision gets made to take them entirely out of the picture. Mali's giant death robots then go and take down a Spanish city in record time. The Biosphere gets built in Gao (because, where else would you build it?), and Yongle gets put out of Mali's misery. Taking out China from the game, makes a lot of the world unhappy, but liberating Nazca from Spain sort of makes up for it. Hungary gets back in the game, and Peace gets offered to Spain, who demands compensation in return. Feeling Magnanimous, Mansa Musa agrees, and offers way more than what was requested. An hour later (because the turns take forever in the late game), Mansa Musa reach Alpha Centauri and win a science victory. What's next? Will Ursa reach 50k subscribers and get accepted into the University of Sankore before March? Will he ever try for a religious victory again? Turn in next episode, same Ursa time, same Ursa Channel!
*I've just started to give Mali ago again. Haven't done a desert map for ages! I find it a bit annoying at times how easy it is to take over cities in the late game, though. and one more thing, we need a gold victory condition!* 💪👍
Starts a Mali tribute, normal Deity, not plus-plus Civ6. But the start was a minus-minus sandwich! Prays in discounts, switches to gold discounts, buys bombers & tanks, finally wins by letting GDR's eat all the uranium and colonizing another Civ6 game. 🤓
Buying units at 5% cost - that is how international corporations must feel when they "outsource" production into the poorest country with the worst worker protection laws possible.
Doesn’t every population number on a city mean it has that many million people? So the short conquest of Taiyuan still managed to involve the deaths of 7 million people? 😱😎
No, it's not exactly linear. A 27 pop city counts as a population of 10,181,000. A 20 pop city counts as a population of 4,394,000. So about 5,687,000 people were killed in that attack.
I don't understand how you fail so hard at the spy game... Like... I'd nearly argue they're literally broken. Because used correctly they can steal 2 tech boosts or a great work every turn or completely remove a cities loyalty in 3 turns. The broken part is that high level spies can NOT Siphon Funds anymore as soon as they get to finishing missions in 0 turns, as the yield is multiplied by the mission length, ironically. Siphoning Funds (also Formenting Unrests) are good training missions, but are rarely worth the gold stolen.
WHAT? Mali with a 621 production? Aren't they SUPPOSED to be the lowest in production? Watching Ursa makes you realize you don't know how to play the game. This video is making me want to relearn how to play Mali, just like the Mongolia game made you realize how to play Mongolia with their bonuses. I couldn't win by Domination because the culture beat me to it. After so many years of playing Civ 6 and you realize you are still an amateur...SMH. HUZZAH!! HUZZAH!
I love how he kept referring to Gao as the capital, despite the "Vatican" being the actual capital
We've all had games like this - shouild have played Dido!!
declaring was on Spain to drag YongLe into it.... chef's kiss, 200IQ genius.
Why thank you = )
We need the real measure of your success in this game: how many spies did you capture?
would be nice if they gave the successful missions done, blocked and spies captured on the end screen. maybe someone could make a mod to show it?
4 spies!
Civ: "How many giant deaths robot do you have Ursa?"
Ursa: "Yes, but need more"
Ursa: Do not panic. We are here to "liberate" you.
I'm conditioned, I checked my phone looking for this video. Boom, uploaded 3 minutes ago
Huzzah
Its funny how Ursa's biggest enemy recently is Yongle, poor guy always ends up being attacked
New challenge: Roman holiday deity++ where every other faction is either yongle or hammurabi

Counterpoint: -1 production on mines is also a pretty big, consistent production debuff.
This game makes me understand why there's no flat 'economic' victory type. Truly marvellous!
I feel it would be easily breakable !!

Sad but (alt) true...😂
That's a very specific reference, many people wont get it now and even for those who do, it will be out of date soon.
I love it! 😁

It was very nice of you to build a tower for the penguins
Amazing how dominant Mali is in the end, despite such a difficult and sluggish start! Cheers, Ivan :D

The world friendship at the end gives off major fairy tale main character energy XD
Big brain move with the Golden War against Spain!
Aircraft carriers taking 2 attacks to kill some Renaissance dudes with pointy sticks feels like the most civ 6 thing ever.

Always a fun game, even without much desert!
Noone expects the Ursa Ryan 18 Jet Bomber Liberation Force
You lucked with the trade routes but being pillaged by Hungary, but could have guaranteed that outcome by sending the UU to protect them.
Absolutely ridiculous display. Very well done sir.
Huzzah! Thank you = )
This game is an example of why Mansa Musa is better than Sundieta. You have more gold for everything and don't have to waste it on books.
All hail the Death Robots from the desert
huzzah to another great series
Huzzah!
Only thing yongle was missing was biosphere with all those solar panels
if the AI settled more aggressively the game would be a bigger challenge. seeing all that empty land right next to other civs is pretty funny
always annoys me when you play games and the AI has so much space to expand into and just doesn't!! Even on deity, nothing argg lol

Wait, what were all the circumstances that made that Tank Army only 215??? That’s wild
95% gold discount!
I accidentally did this and couldn't figure out what caused it...
I just figured it was a bug...
And then built a giant army. ;)
We love a though start and no game modes!
This would have been the perfect run for getting all victory types before the AI gets one.
Such a fun run. Huzzah!

What exactly gave so much production in the main desert city?
Mostly trade routes and Petra!

No, it's not exactly linear.
