I love how we call these “experiments” but they’re really just an excuse to play a kickass Minecraft game

"Back in Russia, vikings held a Thanksgiving dinner" is such a funny phrase out of context! It's like saying "Arabians were celebrating Hanukkah back in the China"

Honestly, hdpow *announcing* his intention to assassinate the Mountain King was the most “Viking” thing the Vikings ever did.

The mountain escape was beautiful ! The walls with lava, the second walls, people fighting to let his people escape thanks to a redstone system, I loved it !

I love how all the nations work seriously and the desert nation is just doing a cult

This was fascinating, seeing how quickly things escalated.

I love how, after the plains and desert alliance had the snow and viking army on the back foot, snow managed to speech check an alliance with the alliance and turned the whole world against mountain

6:46 “How do you get back up?” “That’s the neat part, you don’t.”

"Let us all thank God for this food" "We don't believe in God!" "Let us all thank Science for this food" That broke me lmao

what would happen if the civilizations had to develop underground only? in a skyblock? in an endless ocean? in the nether? i have so many questions but so few powers to answer

“It’s called the. Clay patch. Technique. My guy.” Love the natural drama building moments in these lmao

the desert timestamps: 4:56 The beggining of Yenachi's Words of wisdom 5:09 Beggining of religion 5:16 The oracle 5:23 The beggining of the disaster 5:32 The slavery 5:35 The kingdom's revenge

I love how this is unsettlingly similar to actual history and how misunderstanding is the heart of many problems

“Reporting stories of the hostile swamp people” that just goes to show that the winners write history and will paint themselves as the heroes

“Haha nice 👍 “ 15:29

I simultaneously love and hate how realistic this is

"A mandatory volunteering" ah yes, the perks of being part of a civilization.

Damn… and the fact that the mountain nation, the only one that wanted to stay out of war, was the one that unfortunately fell to ruin. Pretty accurate to how real history was ngl lol

1:31 Thought of a better one We chop the tree and work the field Many-a bountiful crop will yield On our luscious grassy plain We suffer little pain In our hands our weapons we wield Our enemy leaders’ fates are sealed We hope they’ll have a little brain But here is where we train Edit: as per a replier’s request, I’m making a full version. I only have one verse left to make, then I’ll make the tune. I’ll record myself singing it and link the video here when I’m done.

This is amazing! I'd love to partake in such a grand event, but I'll settle for watching it. Great production value my guy. Really great work.

“Exploiting the local natives for their resources” Yup seems accurate

You should do a feudal system experiment, with one society and different classes of people, king, nobles, soldiers, peasants etc. It would be interesting to see if the lower classes can overthrow the higher classes

The guy forced to be the oracle killed me omfg

Respect to that last viking who hid underground at the end he'll keep the legacy alive and healthy

Damn, that looks like a lot of fun. Would be cool to participate in something like this.

Is it just me or is this game experiment scarily close to reality. Holy cow, good job on this! Well done!

9:22 is the hardest I've laughed in a good minute.

This was the most intense civilization video I've seen, just found your channel and love it!

Historical Events 6:55 - The Crowning of Hungrey 7:18 - The coronation for the crows 8:04 - Great ziggurat's built 9:30 - The flesh-eaten feast 11:27 - The horned intergration 11:49 - The slave or snow meeting 13:07 - The ziggurat incident 13:39 - The battle of wood wall 14:06 - The siege of the great ziggurat 14:52 - Pillaging of Alcembrew 15:22 - The hdpow incident 15:52 - The first crusade declared 16:01 - The Naval Crusade 16:29 - Battle of messengers valley 17:12 - The lost man incident 18:12 - Battle of lava spire 19:39 - Operation Underground Railroad 20:15 - Sandy Valley ambush 20:56 - The granite incident

I watched this before dinner and had a thought while eating - how would these societies develop if ALL of them were in an area of scarce resources? Or ALL in an area rich in resources? The thinking is, in these kinds of experiments the starting biome often has an affect on the culture of the people. So, in the proposed scenario, would all kingdoms unite? Or (my bet) would new reasons for division be found? What do you think?

This is great quality, I appreciate the order of the societies + the builds

"Never trust Comcast internet." - probably from Sun Tzu or MagicGum

I love this type of video, but I feel like they derail way too quickly. I feel like if the players were kept in their own regions for a significant amount of time the different societies could develop in their own ways and potentially have inner turmoil while they are separated.

I’ve always found it kind of eerie how this videos can resemble real history and how from a simple misunderstanding can lead to an entire world war.

Ngl that was one of the e best Minecraft vids I’ve ever watched. Props to u man they way you described everything was lit!!! Keep up the work!

I absolutely love it when communities like Minecraft get together and build an awesome experience like this, was very fun and exciting to watch. Great work MagicGum!

We can all agree that his videos make our day better. :D

As a member of alchembrew, even though resources were scare, we lost our homes and we were made the enemies of history, it warms my heart seeing the ziggurat we built be at the center of it all. I'm proud of what our nation has done. GLORY TO ALCHEMBREW!!!

Dude I love this so much part of this is actually how it works in real life like how information spreads and starting wars and stuff I love watching these types of videos and you did a really good job putting all this together great job I loved it!

Great vid, can’t wait for the next one!

The fact that this actually has lore, cooperation and story makes it so much more interesting

When the world needed him the most, he came back.

man I absulutley love ur content! keep it up. also as an idea u cold made survival on deserted island with tribes

this is one of the coolest concepts i also saw the civilization video honestly i dont know why this is not number 1 on trending way better than anything in years thank you

Very poggers Magic! I'm so proud of everyone that joined and had fun. This is one of the best simulation that I joined, thank you for the experience. Continue being awesome!

That 1 trident guy who threw himself into battle at 13:42 is an absolute legend

yo magicgum we need another one of these asap!!

Back in Russia “Did they just say-“ “Yes” *both start smiling* 🎶VODKA VODKA🎶

I think it would be interesting to do another one of these kingdom challenges, but with the Origins Mod, the original one. Would be interesting to see how different societies develop, such as Shulks, Phantoms, Merlings, Elytrians, etc. I don't think that you could do Blazeborn, but would still be cool to see. Keep up the great content.

It's almost like an alternate history of our world. I loved the world building, but the craziest part was that nobody engineered this, it was just players playing, which makes it beautiful.

13:41 bro turned into superman or smth here

The fortress that the mountain civilization built is so damn cool, especially since no one can just easily go over or under it. They actually have to fight their way through

You should do something like this with the Origins mod! Imagine a Merling Atlantis, a subterran kingdom of Felines, Arachnids, and Phantoms, a cloud city of Elytrians and Avians! It would be epic!

He claimed it was passed down from generations. “It’s called the clay patch technique, my guy.” Perfect way to say it

16:20 the at how you doing was cold

"wait you littered the floor with water when they literally have a riptide 3 trident" *Big brain moment*

It's weird how far you've came in popularity. I started watching when you had around 30-50 thousand subscribers, and now you have over 300,000. That's crazy!

If you’re confused or just want a quick recap: 2:13 for map reference 1. Kingdoms live perfectly fine 2.Snow kingdom is believed to be bloodthirsty killers 3. Vikings (people who don’t specialize in any biome) join snow kingdom 4. The Viking who didn’t want to join the snow kingdom go to the swamp kingdom to warn them that the snow kingdom might become powerful and join the swamp kingdom 5. Swamp people try to seek help in the mountains and fail (mountains want to remain neutral) 6. Plains and Desert trade (starting to form alliance) 7. Snow don’t know of their reputation (blood thirsty killer) around the world 8. Snow go to swamp to be friendly and nice 9. Swamp believe they are being attacked 10. War between Snow and Swamp 11. Swamp is wiped out 12. Snow control swamp 13. Snow messenger goes south to Plains and Desert 14. Messenger dies 15. Snow goes south to talk to Plains and Desert 16. Snow gets attacked by Plains and Desert 17. Snow retreat 18. Snow make peace with Plains and Desert (forming bigger alliance) 19. Snow spreads lies about Mountains saying they will attack Snow 20. Alliance attacks Mountains 21. Mountains fights back and retreats through the Mountains using secret hatch to mine (While sacrificing leader) 22. Mountain survivors try to escape through the mines 23. Mountains nearly caught a couple of times 24. Mountains escape and abandon their home 25. Snow, Plains, Desert rewrite history in their view while survivors of Swamp and Mountains scatter throughout the world. Swamp having their own views of the Snow fought back not knowing the simple misunderstanding. Mountains the real losers, the ones who wanted to remain isolated and out of war, lost their home. Snow, Plains and Desert live in harmony believing they restored peace in the land. (Let me know if there’s anything that should be added)

I keep rewatching these please make more

Love these videos I binge these please keep it up

I love those videos! It is simply fascinating to watch! I would love to see longer episodes or a series of the same civilizations in more detail.

Humanity: We will build a civilization in an ordlerly fashion. 5 minutes later: SACRIFICE HIM TO THE FLAME GODS!!!

This commentating is amazing and the music is great very good quality point of views and goodly formal. This is what I would call a good youtuber. Your underrated and I subscribed. Thank you♥️♥️♥️

this is such a sweet video, can you do more midevil experiments like this cause id love to watch more stories of these civilizations rise and fall

This man is the definition of quality over quantity

I don't know what is doable, but I think it'd be very cool if Kingdoms had some kind of way to get new people. Maybe by paying with food, like 5 stacks bread and you can get a new player. Another cool idea would be making resources more important, basically allowing to craft weapons/Armor/tools of strategic importance that just cost absurd amounts of iron/gold/diamond whatever really. Again, I don't know if this is possible and if you plan to keep it vanilla that's perfectly fine, I am just putting some thoughts out there.

Plz make more of these!

You need to make more of these

I've always wanted to witness something like this. Please keep it up! Push the limits! For sociology!

Right off the bat, I love the idea of prox chat in these experiments. It seems so cool and makes keeping secrets harder for spies.

This is so nicely organized and it was so entertaining! You deserve that sub n like!

What you do is just incredible. Much respect from a social sciences student.

Here's an idea: Interdimensional war. Have custom overworld, nether, and end maps made to be the bases of the civilizations. After a certain point, portals will open around the worlds at undisclosed spots, and what happens next is up to the players. Ally with other worlds? Lay siege to their land and become conquerors of dimensions? Who knows?

This is the most adrenaline invigorating Minecraft game play I've seen in my entire life. The story, the plot, and the tragedy is just overly amazing. This is the most jaw dropping thing I've seen in my short time of life.

i did not really understand what was going on but i can see how much of a great vid that was keep up the good effert and have a good day.

10:45 LMAO HAHAHAHHA XD 11:09 I don't know if he was crying or laughing after realizing his imminent destiny. XD

i think it would be interesting if each of the kingdoms could actually raise armies, instead of just having to rely on the number of people they start with, some kind of population mechanic would be great. that way kingdoms that are prosperous actually have an advantage in resources and manpower, otherwise anyone can just overwhelm them in sheer numbers, you know there wouldnt be any point in having a proper civilization with farmers, workers, miners etc. if you can just mass a bunch of warriors and raid the land like the vikings and nomadic tribes. i think a proper civilization building mechanic would be really interesting to see, you know like specialization of labor, some kind of economy system, perhaps using some mods to add various NPC's that can be used as guards, farmers, soldiers, etc. that way you actually grow your kingdom and civilization. With actual cities and towns and population centers. And the key to building a successful civilization would be being able to feed and sustain your population. that way successful and prosperous civilizations actually grow in size and strength, with larger manpower and resources, to raise larger and more powerful armies.

Love these videos, so fun to watch

we need more of these

As the lead builder for alchembrew it made my incredibly proud to see my ziggurat be one of the main focal points of the video. Some behind the scenes for people who weren't part of alchembrew is when it was still that cross in the sky people were like hey TheGeckoLord what are you building there and I had to basically sell them all on the idea of the ziggurat. I had a ton of fun playing and can't wait to hopefully play in the next one! P.S. I only tried to kill that one dude because I knew we were 25 blocks up and was worried he would start attacking us as he was getting more and more cornered, i just unfortunately forgot that most of the ground was made of water but thankfully no one died from it.

Can we just take time to appreciate the hard work this man is doing to entertain us wow 😮

I love watching these videos. They're all just so awesome!

Great video!

That escape with the well looks like a plot device from an actual book, it's incredible that it actually happened

I love these civilization videos, please never stop these! I could watch these forever. I hope you can make them faster to pump out a lot more and faster!

This is like a straight up documentary, this is awesome. Also i thought the vikings were modded nps at first

Epic, waiting for part 2 lol

You should add a “resurrection/reproduction” system were every now and then nation can regain fallen player for a price of food and some valuables because a static population doesn’t make much sense.

Respect for the fallen comrades who spent hours of their lives just to die in in stupid way during this event.

the prison video you did with that other guy was awesome man love your content

Bro, I've been waiting for 10 months, i came back every 2 weeks to check if you uploaded, give us a sneak peek in the community post one more time

When the world needed him the most, he returned

Dude this was so interesting, the teams were really put together and that was amazing

Make more of these I love them idk why

Bro this feels like my grandfather is telling me a story from back in his days and I love it

This felt so realistic, another nice one Magic.

Say, what if the nations could grow over time? New players could join (or rejoin) to add to the overall population.

hey man i love these vids keep it up

I love how you showed the civilization 6 opening in the video
