He made it so that it's super easy to do quite similar since it's not reliant on game modes, mods or busted AI trade deals (all their gold and gold per turn for a joint war etc). It's exactly the type of series I love too!
I mean, that's the case in a lot of real life countries that there's a city with much more renown than their capital. Sydney, New York, Rio just off the top of my head
@@J75Pootle Istanbul, Shanghai, Toronto, Auckland, Zurich, Mekka, Karachi, Mumbai, Saigon/Ho-Chi-Minh-City - all largest metro areas or cities of their country and not the capital. Also Germanys capital was moved from Bonn to Berlin not so long ago. Jerusalem is not fully internationally recognized as Israels capital, many nations have their embassy in Tel Aviv. The seat of government in Netherlands is in Den Hag, not Amsterdam. Jakarta is going to be replaced as Indonesia's capital, whilst Myanmar moved theirs north of Yangon. Best of all: the island nation of Nauru has no official capital...
Its called Triangle trade because european traders sailed from europe to west africa to the americas and then home in a great triangle. For instance danish traders would start out with liquor in Copenhagen sail to west africa sell the liqour in exchange for involuntary african "workers" sail to the danish west indies sell the africans in exchange for sugar and sail home to Copenhagen. In Copenhagen the sugar is sold and turned into liqour. Rinse and repeat.
Welcome to Niang, former capital of Mali. The palace and government hq are mere facades so nvm them. Please visit our true capital, Gao, and leave ur gold behind. Huzzah!
The crabs all line up under water and raise their claws, swaying back and forth until their movement influences the hurricane to come towards you... you cannot stop the crabs.
25:08 Don't worry Ursa your viewers will save Ursabear from the underwater crab Dungeon! Just keep holding your breath a little longer down there, and do not drown!
This was like the slightly older games, before the deity mod, when you would purposely break the game. Very enjoyable. (spies do work btw, patience is key...)
In todays episode, we continue the story of how Mansa Musa became the wealthiest dude to ever live. The sandstorm is initially a lot less damaging than feared, then Mali builds the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus after working on it for centuries. Ursa realizes that Mali has gained three techs on Yongle, rejoice! Only seventeen more to go. Mali continues to settle city after city, and buying very expensive settlers all the while. Mali discovers toys, recruits Liang before sending her out to sea, and decides to go towards democracy. Samarkand is discovered in the far southern reaches of the world, but Mali still has not found the last civilization. After a cheeky forward settle by Mali, a small reminder, Mexico City plus a Water Park equals a very happy empire. Mali meets Mohenjo Daro and Hong Kong and a hurricane spawns in a very awkward place setting giant crabs free, uh-oh, Crustus will rise again! Samarkand becomes Suzerained by Mansa Musa, allowing for the building of Trading Domes, and we learn that Mali now produces more culture than anyone else they've met. The hurricane that was summoned by the crabs to free Crustus has settled right on a city center, and Gao build Ruhr Valley. A trade route is established with Portugal, and Adam Smith is recruited. Ursa remembers Vatican City this time, and sends the Merchant to the border. Strangely, Mali becomes the first to circumnavigate the world, not Carthage, weird. Mali proceeds to build a city in a frozen wasteland, no, not Alaska which is a lovely place. A second sandstorm hits Gao's zoo, hopefully the animals are ok, and Mali finishes their religion. Yongle has discovered satellites, and the sandstorm destroys even more infrastructure, taking out several suguba's in short succession. An Ironclad is bought from a Barbarian Camp, and Kumasi still has not been found, if it even exists. Stock Exchanges starts getting built, as are railroads to increase the value of Malian traderoutes. The Mali Intercity Railway Company finishes their first line, and Colossus gets built. All of Mali's alliances expire, and get renewed in short order, then England denounces Mali because the trade route to them expired. Chinguetti gets discovered, unfortunately it is quite protected, Mali at this time also earns over 4000 gold each turn. Uluru gets discovered, together with the Ottoman Empire, and with that Mali has met every other Civilization. Kumasi gets discovered and is a lot less protected than Chinguetti, and we learn that Yongle is rushing ahead in tech. Sanitation is discovered, up until this point, things were pretty grimy. Four sewers get built rapidly, boosting Suffrage. Mali becomes a democracy, and Machavellianism goes into the government, time to spy on Yongle. Sarah Breedlove get recruited, opening up a potential culture win, and Ursa forgets that Mali is suzerain of Vatican City, again. Gao removes a Cahokia Mound and starts to build the University of Sankore, just as Lord Sucklington wanted. Professional Sports are discovered by Mali, and with a stadium and an aquatics center, their cities become ecstatic. After a massive spending spree, Mali's coffers are down to only 68 gold, but they earn just over 6000 gold per turn, so they'll be fine. The Fountain of Youth gets found, earning Mali a relic, then the University of Sankore gets finished in Gao. Gao then begins building Estadio, just to absolutely make sure that Mali remains ecstatic for the rest of the game. Bridonna finally gets upgraded to a Crossbow, having been an archer for almost 2000 years. Gao alone provides around half of Mali's gold income, which is a lot. Mali continues barrelling into golden age after golden age, quickly recruiting two great people, and selecting To Arms! Hungary should start to feel a bit nervous now. Mali builds the worlds first National Park, and another world congress is called. The World's Fair begins. Estadio gets built, boosting Malian culture to new heights. Containment is then put in, and Kumasi gets Suzerained, for even more culture. Tesla gets bought, and Mali's spy in China attempts to steal lasers, and the Ottoman's capture Kumasi, darn it. Two more engineers are recruited with Money, and Mali votes for two City State emergencies, one against the Ottomans, and one against Portugal, but both get shot down by Yongle. An other great merchant gets recruited, which means more tourism, and Goddard gets recruited as well. An Airport gets built on the borders of Hungary, and a few bombers shortly afterwards. Chinguetti gets suzerained, and Mali's faith hits almost 1800 per turn, which is a lot. Mali discovers computers, now they can finally calculate Mansa Musa's net worth, and a lot of flood barriers get prayed in. Ursa then realizes that when Mali declares war on Hungary, a lot of their own trade routes are going to get pillaged. As we are gearing up for the end game, some questions linger. Will Ursa manage to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat? Will Yongle into Alpha Centauri? Is Suleiman a bit of a dongle? Turn in next episode, same Ursa time, same Ursa channel!
Have you tried out the City Lights mod? It’s almost a completely different game and I get how it might not be ideal for content, but I still recommend checking it out. If you use it, I’d play on a huge map and start with one of the civs with more unique benefits like China or Japan, and combine it with the Cyp Wide & Tall mod - they pair really well together if you use the puppet government project.
I felt a bit disappointed with the placement of N'Teret at 6:07. The settler could have been moved southwest 1 tile to get 1 less loyalty pressure against it AND form a meaningless canal through the island. Confidently discounting loyalty pressure concerns is something that I expect and endorse, but I also expect actively seeking out pointless canals with a much higher priority.
35:00 --> I have noticed (in my latest games) that if the coastline (or anything) gets flooded. It can be fixed when the flood barrier is up. Is that because of some mod i have accidently installed coz i dont remember noticing it before? (But it is something i always thought should be the case though)
I tried to get the balloon Challenge, but it just doesnt activate 😢 Could you make a short series how to unlock all archievements? Would be awesome 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just being curious, what if you had used your great marchent to consume Chinguati, gifted it to someone far away and liberated it once the loyality ran out, would it still have all those old envoys?
Ursa, I am here to issue you a challenge. Because you hate spies so much, I would like you to try to win a science victory with Wu Zeitan with zero campuses. I was able to do it with *one* campus in my empire without too much trouble with Owls of Minerva, although I was also using the JNR mods that add extra buildings to all of your districts. I suspect that a pro Civ player with a great start could do it with zero campuses and without the mods. I want you to appreciate spies.
Late game, district adjacency for campus matter less, as you can build them rather quickly and fill them with their buildings even more rapidly with Mali. Those buildings are even better if you have some envoys in blue CS that boost them
Okay, I was sceptical at first but now I just have to play as Mali and see can I achieve the same results as you... Huzzah!!!

I love how Ursa started referring to Gao as his "capital" - no technically the government and palace are still in Niani, for all that matters
I mean, that's the case in a lot of real life countries that there's a city with much more renown than their capital. Sydney, New York, Rio just off the top of my head

You cheated at 25:24! Took the nice Incan man's money for the alliance. naughty naughty Ursabear! (thanks for the vid as always)

Dear Ursa, I think we will all enjoy a Mali gameplay with Owls of Minerva. When you feel it. No pressure. And remember Vatican city. (Huzzah!)
Counter-spying that commercial hub the entire time that siphon funds was unavailable is a real pro move.
Only th best spy play here😄
Welcome to Niang, former capital of Mali. The palace and government hq are mere facades so nvm them. Please visit our true capital, Gao, and leave ur gold behind. Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Am I the only person who was staring at that +8 campus location in Valletta the entire game?
Hey thanks for building Ruhr Valley in my city
3:43 "Here is Pillsbury and his toys"
has to be the key line of a movie of very questionable taste, some would say illegal
22:31 yes, that was the right decision. Well done.
9:50
Snow is just cold desert, its fiiiine. :D
17:45 Ursa, you forgot you have Valetta to buy your city center buildings with faith!
26:29 You don't want to send your spy in a city with diplo quarters, it reduce it's level by 2, thats why your chances are so low
yep yep yep
True
The beginning of the end. All will bow before MALI!
Huzzah!
The crabs all line up under water and raise their claws, swaying back and forth until their movement influences the hurricane to come towards you... you cannot stop the crabs.
I love that you start referring to Goa as your capital. Always happens to me as well when my capital isn't my best city.
That gold income is utterly ridiculous 😂
25:08 Don't worry Ursa your viewers will save Ursabear from the underwater crab Dungeon! Just keep holding your breath a little longer down there, and do not drown!
22:35 Victory was achieved!
Only 700 more to go!!!
SANKORE FTW!
Huzzah!
This was like the slightly older games, before the deity mod, when you would purposely break the game. Very enjoyable. (spies do work btw, patience is key...)
Guys she failed the challenge at 25:27 she took gold from Inca
I think Ryan is a guy 😂
9:59 "buying a stable and an armory in my capital..."
*bought in Gao and not in Niani*
Ursa's just channeling his inner Civ V Songhai.
Gao is ur capital now and it is all that matters, Huzzah!!!
Huzzah!
you had to teach me about railraods and trade routes. Now i really have to build more of them :-)
Hey, @SourceofBeing, did you see what happened in Gao on turn 203? Win condition solidified.
Paul will also be happy with this.
@@JohnnoBogan
Love to see a good Mali play pop off. Huzzah!
Huzzah!
09:54 please, the man must be stopped before these dad jokes are the end of us 😂😂😂

Zero doubt in my mind that Sarah Breedlove was getting popped on the capital 😂
Can't help myself!
"yep, we are NOT buying more settlers"
You make me sad... Come, Patsy!
Oh and you're a tease for ending there. This will be a hard wait
28:11 Ursa’s so rich he can just make up new words! General Grievant-less
General Wolftron
Made me think of a commercial, great merchant, monopolies, culture victory. Have you tried this before?
Early bears? Huzzah!! I’ll buy more early bears with all this gold!!!!!
Huzzah!

Looks like Ursa is Hungary for Mathias's land!
Wait!!! I thought converted barb clans could no longer move their scout units once they turn to city states?! I've never seen it before at least :O

Snow big deal? Dammit Ursa, you're fired.
It's always a long way to catch up to Longle.
I just got 11,000 gold per turn with Portugal 8,000 science per turn and 10,000 culture per turn on deity sub 200 😂
No mods just xbox
Nice one!
he built it!
Huzzah!
Just being curious, what if you had used your great marchent to consume Chinguati, gifted it to someone far away and liberated it once the loyality ran out, would it still have all those old envoys?
I think it gets reset
poor Kumasi!

Play a game where you achieve monopoly in turtles?
I'll try not to turtle up too much and do that

Huzzah! Thanks for the videos. Found your channel after the Civ 6 livestream with Potato 😁
Says he won’t exploit trade with AI. Then takes gold in an alliance with native Americans. What a Brit 😂
