First priority when up against Hungary - conquer your city state neighbors.

My favorite thing about your videos is your great explanations of why you make the choices you do. Love it.

Let’s play a drinking game! Everyone drink when Marbs says the word “Insane!”

The most balanced civ so far!

Damn, I had a feeling this would happen when I read the Hungary abilities, but seeing it in action is still scary. I think Hungary will have to be banned in mp before they get nerfed. There is literally no way for any other civ to compete with just rushing Swordsmen tech. The +2 Movement Speed and +5 Combat bonus is just overkill at this point. You even get more envoys for using the ability so other players can't even compete with your Suzerainty to stop you until you get spies.

Wow Marbz I have not heard you laugh so much in a long time. It is rather infectious...it was so fun seeing you have all of this fun....it reminds me of your Civ V Persia videos. Love it!!!

Loyalty isn't a problem if there are no enemy city nearby right? ;P

"That's actually insane!" - counter: Over 9000!

Just a minor note that the rivers on the map Tiszia, Rába, Körös are actual Rivers from Hungary, the few bigger ones it actually has. :P Also the Karpathian mountains are matching as well. Not sure if this is new or not but a pretty nice touch that the game generates the geographical names based on the civ that spawned on the area. XD

Another thing about Hungary's ability is that being able to get Suzerans that easily especially early on will almost guarantee golden ages. I'm also noticing that map seeds seem to be far superior in terms of land and resource distribution

Your enthusiasm is infectious. I love it.

Kind of exactly as expected. The ability seemed crazy OP.

Polak, Węgier - dwa bratanki Can't wait to play the expansion

Finally a reviewer is playing Hungary!!

These focused videos are far more fun than lets plays. Thanks for doing them.

That was utterly ridiculous. I can see the player being able to have a small, heavily promoted defensive army with this while they just spam the city state troops when they want to attack someone. Firaxis may have gone too far with this one

So, were ther playtesters from Hungary or something?

I find it funny the two warmonger civs that got included. Ottomans and Hungary came together in the same pack. Considering their fierce rivalry.

In before hungry gets banned in multiplayer.

Best way to fight Matthias might be to stockpile envoys and have Amani at the ready. Hungary levies a city state and upgrades all their units. You steal the city state and levy those units right back. You don't get the combat and movement bonus but still benefit from the free upgrade. Obviously the difficulty is in keeping up with Hungary's envoys, but levying costs gold and and only be done every x turns, so I think if you focus on one city state you can potentially keep up unless Hungary also focuses on it, but if they do they're just limiting themselves and are manageable anyway.

Funny how Hungary, which by R&F standards would've been a mediocre Civ, is solidly S-tier due to two small changes: the Resource mechanics and the new map tectonics which improve river generation. Thank you for confirming their strength. I've always felt there were some insane syngergy between cheaper Commercial Hubs (because you'll build those cheaply in your cities, like, in every freaking city you own), and then using their gold to endlessly levy city state troops, monopolizing the suzerain bonuses and gaining tonnes of Diplomatic Favour per turn which you can use to win Diplo Victory or sell for even more gold. It's good to see that in action. Truly a sublime civ. Will we be seeing Eleanor soon? She's also capable of some crazy cheese with her Loyalty flipping abilities.

So proud to see Hungary as an actual civ! :)

This is a comment to please the KZfaq algorithm.

As a hungarian, I'd like to teach you only one expression: világuralom! (World domination) :D

This was so fun watching you steamroll a Civ so early and all you had to do was find the city-states and pay for their army's Sweden? what sweden? never heard of.

These videos have been incredibly fun!

Insane huh? You know what they say... You're not you, when you're Hungary

I think we should all remember that he hasn’t even unlocked Hungary’s unique units yet!! Absolutely insane

Damn. You always make me come back to play Civ because you make it look real fun.

"Mister Marb, I don't feel so good..." -Sweden

still come here when i'm feeling under the weather... it cheers me up so much!

I lol'd several times during this - you just got yourself a new subscriber

why do i have the feeling that this is going to be the first civ that marbs play in full? that was bit stressful... "go go go!" :D

Oh my damn. I thought Genghis was a terror. Now it's like, "Oh, Hungary is on the map. Now this city state next to me is a wrecking ball riiip"

Ok, this was so much FUN to watch!!

"It's actually insane!" -Marbozir 2019

That was hilarious Attila.

i suppose when you levy troops just to get the extra envoys, you could use those troops as scouts to meet other citystates before the other civs, get those bonus envoys, and snowball the whole map (plus you'd snag all the goodie huts, barbarian encampments, and pop some eurekas in the process). in the case of this game, you could use the second and third citystates' swordsmen to explore, since the troops you got from the first citystate were sufficient to eliminate sweden.

I'm not a Civ 6 player, but I am getting the impression that the theme of this expansion is not natural disasters so much as power creep. :D

Excellent video. You've made us... hungry for more.

Hungary can turn into an Empire

Drinking game: if Marbozir says "insane" or "crazy", drink. Enjoy.

Marb's favourite City State, Antanabananarivo, the only other one that could compare (if it exists) is Jimboomba.

ok, marb Please, i beg you, make a series of this civ, this is so crazy to look at. it the first time i seen swordmen rush like they from a zombie game. wars with hungary have to be a lot of fun. please show us some mid game wars, this is acually scary. nice video

The funniest thing was that geographical names and formations were actually properly displayed. The river Tisza joined up with the Danube at the sea, and the Kőrös river joined up with Tisza at proportionally the correct location, and the Carpathian Mountains were properly laid in a circle around the Basin, and in it there were vine and wheat :D And Miskolc had iron, which is funny because Miskolc is the City of Steel of Hungary XD Now that is the ultimate attention to details on the part of the random map generator.

Settling on luxury resources and strategic resources is actually really good! You get the bonus yield and the resource itself, without having to work a tile (it's just on your city center!)

Hey Marbozir. I'm happy to hear and watch you having fun, laughing and being enthusiastic. It's fun. I know I am not entitled to anything, Marbozir, but is it possible for you to make a video about your review/critique of CIvilization 6 in its current state? I'm one of those people that dropped the game before, and returned to Civ 5. I would love to hear your thoughts now regarding this game in its current state.

Finally, someone who plays hungary and his not german! This civ is by far, the best in the extension (in theory) in my opinion.

You could have easily kept that first city. A governor would solve the loyalty problem long enough for you to capture the other cities.

Why would you raze that city? Even if you cant keep it, just leave it as a free city until you took Stockholm and then reconquer it. Then it will have enough loyalty to not flip until you took out the rest of Sweden. Or you, just take 2 or 3 cities at the same turn, with that many units and without walls that would be no problem.

This brings back flashbacks to no upkeep warcarts and 1 turning wonder with overflow.

No way it's correct to raze that first city that had the hanging gardens, it will flip but we can easily get it back later once we conquer Sweden (so pretty much instantly).

who needs battering rams when you have thousands of dudes who can just kind of knock on the door at the same time?

You have to carry on with this play through. Domination victory by the end of the medieval era assured...

Impressive empire size Marb, obtained through totally peaceful and legitimate means.

This was so fun to watch. Thank you

Go ahead and ban that civ from multiplayer

23:54 Marbs is thanos confirmed 😂

Would love to see you do a full game with Hungry and see how fast you can do world domination

ah, it gets even better when you get to their special units :) and when your settler spawns ON a geyser :) (yes you can settle them, best tile to settle in the game - plains hills geyser next to a river - and hungary has bias to have them around)

You don't need to keep checking the city state tab to see if you're first meet. If you are the 1st meet 3 icons will pop up on the right instead of the normal 2.

The only problems I have with this video: 1. be careful who and when you raze a city. the warmonger penalty can hurt friendships 2. you probably won’t want to destroy a whole civilization, since that makes you lose tourists (just for consideration) 3. I am way to envious of civ 6 gathering storm. you make me wish Christmas was way earlier noice video tho 👌

dawg you razed the hanging gardens

Pretty new to your channel. Love this stuff, thanks for making them!

That is brilliant! Can't wait to get my hands on it, I imagine it won't always go quite to plan... Also I wonder how long you can keep it up until the entire world is at war with you! Sounds like a hell of a fun game though!! :D

Hungary's ability is crazy OP. I just lead an army made of multiple city states' soldiers and just rushed the enemy. I did not even care if I lose them, technically they were not my soldiers, so I was really reckless. I have a feeling they will nerf the hell out of it.

Hungary's my go-to pick for my first game of GS, and this just reaffirms what I've thought about them. By the way, when settling your capital, you missed out on a +3 campus. The extra science you get from rationalism outweighs the discount from Hungary's UA (do the math), and you didn't get any additional danube tiles from moving two tiles out. I would've crossed the river up north and settled there, imo.

Marbozir: Zerg Rushes a civilization out of existence Also Marbozir: "The Ottomans denounced us, I have no idea why"

i love the way marbs says "construction"

Lol hilarious! And nice showcase! But do you loose the levied units if someone else becomes the suzrain or do you still keep them for 30 turns?

The bizarre thing is, the dramatic title is not even clickbait and/or overexaggeration. It just IS that absurd.

Can you please do a video of Eleanor of Aquitaine? I don't enjoy watching 2 hours of borong game play by the defs. I rather enjoy your style of videos nthat somehow gives way more insight. Im excited to see loyalty war

"...for the government, I will become an oligarchy." can relate

I don't think the word "insane" has enough been repeated in this video. So let me go one more time: This is actually insane!

best one video showcase ever!

RIP Hanging Gardens in Lund :D

Quiz: How many "Swordsman" can you squeeze in 30min episode? xD Another gr8 video. Thanks m8~!

Marbozir: Hello ThereMe in My mind: General Kenobi

For those of you who drank too much to keep track. 16 "Insane", 9 "Crazy" and 2 "that's nuts" for good measure. Sadly only a single instance of "Sounds Good To Me!" This was the most fun I've ever had watching a Civ 6 video!

the power creep with gathering storm is ridiculous. The vanilla civs are all going to need massive buffs to make them competative

Award for title that looked like clickbait but really wasn't goes to ... Marbs!

23:52 thanos would be proud

As a hungarian it's a bit unusual to see a powerful warmonger Hungary, the last time when Hungary was mighty and powerful country was 500 years ago. Everything ended in 1526 :(

I like that Sweden's last ditch attempt to fight back was to hire a citystate army of her own

So many people sleeping on Hungary. But that levy ability does it all. Gives you envoys, gives you scouts and gives you an a buffed up fast moving army to protect or attack.

Not sure why you felt the need to raise the city, you can take cities so quickly that moving a governor into Lund would have provided you with plenty of time to deal with the loyalty issues.

You just made The Spiffing Brit's video for him.

The foreign ministry government plaza building would synergize incredibly with this civ

The only problem is that you have to maintain suzerain status at all times, or you will lose the units (and worse, possibly have them all attack you). But otherwise, having an army that costs no maintenance whatsoever, costs nothing to upgrade, and are expendable since they're not your own units anyway really is broken. And that's not counting the extra strength and movement they get. Edit: The Foreign Ministry government building makes levying even cheaper and gives more combat strength.

Kind of reminds me of Germany in Civ 5 but with no upkeep, no resource cost and the combat bonuses this just takes it to the extreme. What were they thinking?

They make the ottomans look like bronze teir domintion civ.

@ 27:34 it looks like when you move your swordsman adjacent to the city the loyalty pressure flips in the other direction... I don't recall this being a thing, but it always frustrated me when I had 6 armies surrounding a city an the city is still able to flip. It never made sense in real life terms , so I hope they changed this so that adjacent units also apply some level of loyalty pressure

It's actually insane ... oh yeah yeah

Perhaps it would be more balanced if the CS upgrades were limited to the amount of the required resources that CS has produced, and if they haven't produced the required resources, either you can't upgrade the units, or YOU have to foot the resource bill.

Makes Hayan Capac from Civ4 look like an amateur early game warmonger...scary

I find the lack of a "Hungary-Hungry" pun disturbing... Oh wait, the pun got Swordsman-rushed so quickly that I didn't see it.

In the IX century there was a old latin pray which begann so: "Oh our Lord save us from the arrows of the Hungarians" :)

This is actually insane!
