Potato: I don’t want to waste production on units I won’t be using Also Potato: let’s spam skirmishers!

I really don't understand why people keep talking about bringing back unit stacking. I think the "stack of doom" wars was much less interesting. Just, two huge stacks slamming into each other endlessly untill one stack is gone. It's much more interesting now, where you have to take into terrain into account. Choke points, longer flanking route with part of the army, how to protect ranged units while keeping them within range, cycling wounded units vs. sacrificing them to save time etc.

Gupta one of my favorite leaders. Territorial expansion elephants are so insanely strong

Attacking Kongo with Varu through that choke in the mountains. Yeah, bringing elephants through the mountains, what could go wrong.

Roflstomped. Saw Canada at the start and knew they were never getting to hockey rinks.

I just had the most cursed victory ever... I was doing a one city challenge with Ethiopia, and during the apocalypse at the end, I random captured a city to liberate it so I could protect my trade routes, and I got a domination victory on that same turn and I was so confused, so then I checked and all the AI original capitals had been destroyed by meteors

Potato, you definitely have an Irish accent.

3:06:30 "What would be really cool is if you could build units like LEGO." That's Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, the chronological sequel to Civilization. I LOVE that game, and it lets you build units like lego. You choose the chassis, the weapon, the armor, the special abilities.... it's REALLY COOL and I wish there was another Civ-esque game that did that. I only see it in space strategy games like Stellaris or Galactic Civilization, but nothing that's actually on a planet.

Potato, Jamesnagar is using the Sanskrit suffix meaning city/town. It would have fit considering you were playing an Indian civ.

2:50:17 "Rules dont matter because we can just break them" LOOOOL

Thank you again, Potato!

Aaaaaaaw dude ure the best! Thanks for this amazing Civ gameplays!

Varu is having knights when people only have horsemen

Hey man I just wanted to say this video seemed like the perfect blend of gameplay and chat. Watching you play and make decisions is what's so entertaining but having chat for comic relief is great too. Great great content! Thank you.

Here I am again, I fell asleep and the algorithm took me here again. I woke up to potato talking about India because the algorithm somehow secretly loves this stream.

"My discord is cursed?" "I blame YOU"

Nice peaceful let's play video to have on in the backg- *ANGRY ELEPHANT NOISES*

I love that you were worried about not getting to flight as you elephant ram the world to death.

Honest question: how did you instantly know what 'vieze ruft' means...? Have you seen the user before or do you secretly happen to speak Dutch?

Love these vids

I love you so much Potato!!

Doing my own A-Z challenge now, and watching this playlist for some tips. Religious Settlements turn 39 - I don't think I'll be able to copy that strategy. :P You pretty much have to find a relic or get an envoy at a religious city state to get that pantheon now in deity.

Do you plan on playing with modded civ / other mod? I don't see much of that and am really interested in the community work.

Unit stacking would be like the lego idea.

Yea who names a city after Joe eew😆😆😆😭😭😭😭💔💔💔

Is this normal to get ads every 5 minutes?

The condition the Joker has is called corticobulbar aphasia. Also he has a condition called living in a society.

What did you think about the Godess of Festivals pantheon this game? There's a lot of plantations around and more culture would have really sped up your game.

Audio is out of sync for replay.

All I want to know is why that barb scout at turn 15 doesn't move for 9 turns. It had every opportunity to report back to it's camp.

I wanted to see the end graphs

Hi Potato, about an hour into the stream your voice-over is about a minute late compared to what's happening on the stream, i.e. you're commenting on things that happened earlier. Still entertaining, though!

Not sure why chat was struggling with understanding why potatoes would be good on pizza, Pizza is just carbs and fat, two things potatoes go good with.

can you make these challenge series with their alternated style gameplay? like catherine is best at culture victory, but she is good in domination. That will be really extraodinary and interesting to watch

Dear Mr Potato McWhiskey, working my way through your back catalogue while enjoying Civ in Lockdown 2.0, just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your worldly discussions while playing. I always find it ironic how the people who complain about the dreadful and invidious liberal agenda are so often the ones who call those same liberals 'snowflake' on Twitter and so on. Anyway very enjoyable content. MML.

Would be such a good map to be Dutch on

to make it easier to get to Kongo he could of sent a trade route to build a road.

Potato spitting fax

Bro idk what you did to the algorithm but every time I watch an eu4 play through this video is always next on auto play.

Next expansion announcement next week Tuesday probably

Where does the James meme come from? I know it's an achievement in Cities: Skylines, anyone know the meme origin?

Are we playing as Chandragupta or Chandragupta like, first name Chandra last name gupta

he is from louth i can hear it ;)

3:15:00 Potato have you ever played Europe Universalis 4? Because that's basically how armies work in that game.

RE: your sound - you could use a bit more mid range in your mix.

Huweel? Wheel?

Has that empire's info ribbon been removed from the game or something??

I like Parvati, do people not like her?

have you thought about hosting a Custom map? let's say, everyone can attempt to play the same map file on their own account while you live stream. enjoying the content!

Gupta would be so much better if Varus turned into Curaissers

Why did u stop streaming on twitch?

I suspect Potato never played Civ 3. Hence the disconnect when Civ players kinda complain about the AI. See once upon a time the combat AI in this game was ruthless to the point that players started calling BS. AI Spearman killing tanks was a "meme" before "memes" were even invented. Once the AI targeted you with it's stacks of doom it was usually a fight to the death, and the AI had no compunction about pillaging every last tile in your city until you were dead. It was aggressive, ruthless and relentless. In fact if your original enemy made the slightest bit of headway in reducing your numbers, Civs you thought were friends had no problem breaking agreements and joining in on the fun of beating you to a pulp. So loud were the complaints that the very next iteration (Civ4) included the transparency of informing the player of the victory odds (a feature that persists to this day) eliminated stacks of doom all together, and (tried) to put a bit more logic behind the diplomatic AI. The combat AI in this game has grown completely soft, while the diplomatic AI has shown only a modest improvement over three iterations since.

What would you think about a farming diamond rather than a farming triangle in order to get the extra housing?

old timey car at 1:58:32

Jameford :)

When I play on deity most of the AI has double of the science per turn at turn 150. They got about 90-150 spt sometimes up to 250 spt if theres Korea or Australia playing. What the hell is wrong with my Game?

Please tell me someone clipped the snake bit @2:47:47 🤣🤣

JAMESON IS THE BEST CITY (I’m totally not being biased cuz it’s my name)

Ireland not part of the U.K.

Drew Durnil:its sexy ghandi

What's the mod he uses for that micromanaging of cities?

2:52:00 That's the entire point of games though, right? To enjoy them. You're right in wanting to play games only if you enjoy them. Video games aren't for bringing about social justice, and if they do that, it's great, but they have to make good video games. There's no reason for you to have to change that way of thinking

Potato: What conspiracy theories are we discussing today? (Throws out the meme at the time) Me: Any "fact" beginning with "Scientists all agree" or "scientific consensus" is always my favorite conspiracy discuss. Facts don't require consensus or agreement. They just are. Therefore those aren't facts. Btw, you're my favorite Civ channel. With your analytical approach I'd love to see some other games down the road.

We need to stop mobile gaming! It’s much worse than communism. FarmVille made millions of dollars when I was young. Everything has started to turn to shit since then. Remember all the epic games we played that were at least emotionally engaging experiences? But hey, have you heard Of Raid Shadow Legends?

worst goddamn social justice take of all time!

Eu

Lol ya failed vibe check 😬😬😂😂🅱️🅱️🗿🗿💯💯💯👌🔥🔥🔥

Not w

Beyond the real threat to quality gaming I mentioned... the exaggerated anti feminism thing you act like doesn’t exist is an response to an extremely widespread actually really push by heavily monetarily supported people whose number one concern isn’t making everyone quality games. People, seriously look at the backing Anita... oh, hey, have you tried Raid Shadow Legends?

Strange that Mansa Musa only have 445 gold kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNRkrdmZzL7KoYE.html , playing Mansa Musa I normally have around 1000g at turn 100 and about 200 - 300 gg/t

You are good mate! I kinda hate Civ 6 (they destroyed the best game ever). Even so, I quite like your videos. Which means you are quite good ... LOLz

You gotta play faster speeds my guy

I love the conversation. Nothing matters it's all about nihilism 🤌🤣. Ahh but postmodernism suck, like actually suck 😂🤣. I really love the game play and how the conversation turns into this "can I just play my games social justice warriors plz!" Definitely agree!
