The thing I’m so appreciative of from your videos Ursa is: you suggest the non meta moves. Settle on turn 4 or 5? Why not! No scouts out the gate? There’s a reason for that! It’s so great for mastering deity. Yes, the meta gets you the beat deity. But, learning when to “break the rules” is how you consistently beat deity. You’re the best bear Sleepy… oh yeh and you too, Ursa. Thank you both for the wonderful videos.

Even if I'm a seasoned player, I love these videos. Here is another tip for newer players: If you have this much of a low production start, it is okay to restart :D and also, it might not be a good idea to go for a religion when one of your neighbors is Spain (who is a civ which builds holy sites in every city) and the other one is rushing Stonehenge (you can see Shaka building it towards the end), you start spending so much faith just to defend your religion or go to war to kill their missionaries

One suggestion for options during combat, at 29:52 and 33:30 you could mention that crossing the river also provides a defensive strength, so even if the other tile is also a floodplain, it can often be advantageous to do so because it means the barbs won't have enough movement to attack you the same turn (unless it's a ranged barb). That, plus if the opposite shore is a hill and/or a forest, you can potentionally tank much stronger enemies.

Great Video! I just picked up Civ6, since I never got around to it. Finding this is gold, thanks!

I do enjoy your voice, it is delightful. I’ve beaten the game on Deity once but I don’t think that counts because I was using Hammurabi and he’s all kinds of broken. I deliberately went for science since that seems to be his weakest victory type and it was basically low diff at worst. His other advantages are so overwhelming that he can translate them into whatever victory he wants. Yong Li is a more literal representation of that strat but still… 😂

Hello, i really like your videos. You are making CIV 6 more understandable for players with less hours. You make quality content, keep it up! Also, I would like to ask a couple questions, please :) 1. I noticed you didn't focus your cities to prioritize food (automatically) while they are low on population. I do that to have 4-5 population and it's like a snowbal, later you will have much more production just by having more tiles worked. What do you thing of this strategy? It's a NO go or situational? If so, explain please :) also i noticed you didn't prioritize any focus in a first city, is that he best strategy? If so, why? 2. When you wanted to deal with barbarian camp, you bought another warrior. Is it better option in that situation than slinger? It can be upgraded to archer and as you said, range units can give damage without receiving, so I wonder why warriors. Is it because of higher health, more bulky? Thank you very much, I really learned a lot today and these questions are just to make the clarification more clear for me.

I have recently come back to playing civ and i have been doing well on deity. I'm winning most of my games just not sub 200. My biggest piece of advice is you got to crack a few eggs to make an omelette. In my recent game I lost a few early units who had some levels ups. I was really annoyed, but then late game i had so much gold and production I just bought armies and armadas. Also don't always play pangaea there is more to just land warfare

in terms of luxury selling im not looking for 7-8 gold per turn but for 17, maybe up to 21 on deity. as for tech choices i definitely dont recommend always opening with animal husbandry but instead to look what tile improvements u could make if u had a builder. pottery isnt so useful for the great bath but for early farms and early irrigation if u have wine or something.

0:43 to the new players, you may think that this is a joke... it is not, the number of times I've actually reached 3am playing Civ has to be in the dozens (that's probably amateur hours as well) 15:45 ah yes, an Ethiopian's best friend. Every time I play Menelik I find myself muttering "are you a hill?" as I'm looking at potential settle spots

Am I the only one who first thought placing a commercial hub on a resource(rice) would give +3 adjacency? +1 for the resource, +2 for C-hub and 0,5 for district. Why isn't that the case? If you settle or district on a rice, you don't remove it like you do with woods. And if you place a district on a strategic resource it gives you both adjacencies to the regular Industrial zone. Also strange how districts with 4,5 adjacency combined with a +100% policy card are only 8 rather than 9.

@matthewhoag9892

6 ай бұрын

Commercial hubs don't get adjacency from resources, only the Hansas do. And the 4.5 adjacency is rounded down to 4 before the 2x multiplier is applied... 0.5 adjacency (aka minor adjacencies) only take effect if you can get two of them to get the full 1 pt boost.

Ursa, toward the beginning you talk about a pantheon and religion for those who want to sort of "set and forget" but I think the way the game unfolds you never expand on that that I can find. What pantheon and religion were you talking about?

@UrsaRyan

so a set and forget is something you don't have to actively plan around work ethic for instance is the opposite - every city needs a high adjacency holy site to make it work ftw or choral music is in the middle - any holy site will do but every city needs one set and forget is more like the amenity religion - spread to your cities and you get the passive bonuses without needing to do anything think more in terms of, does this religion change the way I play the game hugely or does it fit into my original strategy?
