Honestly man, you are one of the best strategy game players I've ever seen. I've been consuming your content since you were playing Civ 5 and whenever I pick up a new strategy game that I struggle with or just want to be a better player at, I know that your analytical and logical methodology to strategy games is probably the best guide available, so I always check to see if you've got any related content. It's helped me become a better strategy gamer, without a doubt. Lately, I've been pretty worried because your TH-cam channels have almost completely stopped producing edited content. I don't really see any more guides videos or episodic playlists. It seems that you've pretty much switched entirely over to unedited livestreams, which I unfortunately just don't have time for anymore, not since the BB days with Keks and TripleP. Throughout all of the time I've watched you, it seems you have always struggled to surpass the viewership wall of a few hundred viewers, excepting new expansions for DD or BB, despite the educational quality of your stuff. I think a big part of that is the fact that new people don't know you or your personality, so when you react to any viewers attempt to engage with you like you did around 2:40, it really throws people off. Yes, people are dumb and say dumb things without really thinking and it can be frustrating to repeat yourself or explain yourself, but that is why the people that stick around do so. You're really good at these types of games, so understanding your thought process is more valuable than understanding your individual choices, and sometimes that takes a few dumb questions to get into. I've asked you a few questions during gameplay and received the same treatment a couple times. I don't take it personally, because I kind of know what type of person you are, but these people likely don't. I think if you weren't such a massive dickhead to people like that, maybe more people would actually stick around. You would have a lot more people like Keks that become regulars. I hope you stick around man. The past couple years seem like they were tough for you to continue sinking your time into content creation, and I get the feeling you were/are starting to redirect your time and effort to other avenues. It would be a shame to lose your stuff just because people don't understand your abrasive and sometimes scathing attitude. I know you probably won't read this, but if you do, know that it comes from a place of love. I know how you love unsolicited advice, and someone backseating you IRL probably won't sit well either, but so be it. I just really want to get as many spreadsheets out of you as possible.
Understand. You can only do what the action economy allows for, especially since an editor is almost a necessity for TH-cam content. If the RoI isn’t there for TH-cam content, then it is what it is. Thanks for responding.
I love the town system in this game. Its something I wanted and imagined makes lots of sense since Civ 4 days. Lumber town north of Seattle would be my first usage of the culture power, with 3 foresters maybe one plantation on the rice. Specialization comes at level 2 town and gives 2 production per adjacent forester.
I havent watched much, just a few of your videos, but i feel like building a town early is important, gives extra tiles, cost almost nothing, and when you can get it to lvl 2 you get specialization bonus from the town that dont require workers working the tiles around the town

You are showing that a good entertainer is completly different than being good at a game.
Thanks for the kind words and well intended suggestions. I'm currently unsure if I will return to creating guide or review style content for TH-cam.

Always fun watching you. Sorry that you’re having a rough go of it, I hope things start looking up!

Would like to hear a proper review for this, I've tried to get into this game but it just made me want to play civ
Gonna take some hours to get used to. But i am loving it. Just an average player thou.

i thought we were getting new civ 5 content for a second and was so hyped
Did Filthy played Age of Empires 4? Or does anyone know his thoughts about it?
Aren‘t you the CiV 5 guy?
Your audio volume is too low imho. thanks for the content
5:26:51 - Oof xD
The color scheme in the UI is a big no thank you. And that sound effect sounds like someone licked their fingers. Maybe ill buy it anyway. Idk tho
Game sucks. Soundtrack is great though
