"Hey Potato, do you want to create our next monthly challenge?" "Yes, the challenge is to play my favorite civ and win with my favorite victory type."

13:40 Insists upon the importance of declaring friendship with other civs on the first turn. 24:05 Meets Gilgamesh, the 1 civ known to love friendships on the first turn to meet, and doesn't ask for it.

Dude when I saw this mode in the game I cried tears of joy because it was like you got everything you ever wanted. Through watching your videos over the years I have related to you a bit as well as going from Emperor to Deity skill through your training. So to see it all culiminate by SEEING YOUR NAME IN THE GAME was absolutely incredible. And then I proceeded to have one of the most fun experiences I've ever had in civ by playing your scenario. So thanks for everything my dude. Also, Firaxis' translation of GigaHuge: "Build a sprawling empire!" was hilarious to me for some reason.

This is 100% a "Momma I made it" moment! I'm super proud n happy for ya!

Beat this challenge this weekend. Was fun to do and cool see your name mentioned in the civ preview.

Finally Potato is doing his own monthly challenge. I had a ton of fun with this one, I don't remember too much happening in the late game besides settling almost half the world, but the early phase of my game was amazing: I had a ton of marshes so I got the Lady of the Reeds and Marshes pantheon, and used that and a couple of chops to get the Etemenanki. I also spawned on a peninsula with the Cree to my left. I had to do some screwed up tactic to delay his settlers, but I managed to forward settle and get him stuck on just 3 coastal cities for most of the game. Unfortunately for him, they were all desert cities that couldn't grow too much so eventually my civ grew so much he just got gobbled up. Even the two cities he managed to get on other islands got absorbed too.

It was super cool to see your icon in the game menu! My Emperor run also ran into Greece spawning immediately next to me/Canada on another island. They were a big challenge when I kind of faffed about trying to build some pretty cities (my understanding of good places to put Government Plazas needs work) and could only find a few National Parks, but I managed to Rock Band my way to victory in the late game. Since I started playing Civ again last month, this was the second time I played above Prince. When I first played Civ, I played a lot of Settler fearfully, but watching your content between my time off from Civ, I became more confident to at least be average. My Prince run of the challenge let me take over a large half-tundra island and coat it with National Parks and Preserves. I hadn't appreciated how great this combo was until your videos and now I love to try to put them together when I can. I'm looking at the Appeal view every other turn to try to balance against my addiction to Industrial Zones. 23:33 Guilty as charged. Any time a barbarian kills one of my units, it's back to the save scum. 29:10 I suspect you already know this but just in case: I usually like to check my apostles' upgrades before using them to evangelize my belief, because since you only need 3 charges to evangelize, you might get something that gives additional charges and in that case, you can use that time to use the two charges of an Orator or 3 charges next to a natural wonder. (Also I always keep Debaters as a safety valve on if I lose track of things and get my religion removed, because then I can fight some missionaries to revive it prior to getting a rock band, but as my Settler tendencies imply, I'm both nervous and unobservant lmao.) 36:19 THANK YOU. I managed to aqueduct across a river presumably when there were a couple of aqueducts in close succession and I never could figure out why it wasn't working some of the time. I'm kind of bad with rivers in general as I could never figure out dams without the improved map tacks mod. 2:28:31 I don't know if I believe the spy probabilities. Mine always seem to die and need me to reload to save them.

No one, not God, my mother, or the great world around me, would forgive all the savescumming I've done in my life.

Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with mulligans. Theres just alot of purists out there and they think hardcore is the only correct way to play.

When I loaded up and saw your icon I laughed so hard. Delighted for you and it was a fun challenge. I love culture victory, and it gave me a chance to practice more with a civ I'm not that familiar with.

Congrats Potato, this is well deserved honor! You have a big influence on my play, I would not be the player today without watching your gameplays. The way you explain (and explain in every game) your moves and the reasoning behind is the best. Keep up the good work, I'll promise to keep watching all your Civ games in the future as well 💪

Hey Potato I just wanted to say thank you for this challenge. I hadn't played civ 6 in over a year, but somehow the algo showed me this vid and dropping into a game with no barbs and pure "numbers go up" was really fun. Now I see a half-dozen leaders I don't recognize and am ready to dive back in.

culture huh? sounds like a perfect domination game

Glad you're back. I missed seeing your Civ 6 videos, though I do understand why you took that break.

Congratulations! And thank you for a fun challenge

This is great, i didn't realize how much i miss watching/hearing you play civ and also miss playing it myself

its good to have you back on ciz, ive missed these videos. i know you probly get tired of playing but just saying its good to have ya back

it's been so long since i've had a chance to watch a Potato video and this one is firing on all cylinders. well done, sir.

Just started playiny civ 6, very new to the whole civ series. Love your videos, very helpful guide, and now I'm addicted to this game haha And with the news of civ 7? Well hello, looks like I've got a good game to commit a lot of time to for the next few years

Thankyou for clarifying tall vs wode builds

Potato has achived total inner peace

You've got more land to make national parks, seaside resorts, ski resorts etc, probably can get or have already conquered more wonders and great writers/artists/musicians. If you also take more cities of the last civ, that's less culture they can produce too. And maybe defeating all other civs probably also grants you a victory.

BTW, only *old-growth* woods grant an extra appeal to their own tile (in addition to adjacent tiles). Second-growth woods only grant appeal to adjacent tiles.

I will 100% start using the diplomatic points exploit. Thanks for the tip!

Let's goooooooooooo Tater back on Civ!!!

This was a very fun challenge. Great challenge to start with after not playing for years.

Most educational civ video I've seen, even if I had to watch it over 2 days

You deserve it, Mister McWhiskey. I wouldn't have any wins in Civ VI above the easiest difficulty if it weren't for your tutorial series.

I love how you give instructions for how a segment should be edited, and the instructions don't get edited out 😂

Hey, you finally convinced me to buy the civ6 pack, I hope you get your cut after all the civ6 videos from your channel ;)

Whenever you say "in terms of ____", I always finish it in my head with the one meme "in terms of money, we have no money" lol.

I played it, I really enjoyed it. Thank you Sir!

So i had to restart this challenge and will be trying a third time. I learned a good bit watching you play this, so i thank you for that. I do have 3 laughable gripes tho. 1st is you found gilgamesh and didnt make a friend with him turn 1 after you mentioned it. 2nd is you didnt build angkor wat in the angkor wat (i understand why you didnt, i just figured for the meme) 3rd is you had a valletta (which is my favorite militaristic city state) cause when i crank out faith, i just faith purchase all the stuff in my city center being suzerain of them regardless, love your videos, good sir and again ive learned alot from watching you play over the years

I bet this scenario just as it started, and it showed me how fun it was to play Khmer. The unique units were also extremely powerful, and I'd definitely play Khmer again.

Hey potato i just got addicted to civ 6, and Ive been following you

Beat the challenge a few days ago. It was insightful to compare my nub try on it with a pro approach to review my mistakes in culture building. I never knew this would be a nice suitable way for me to learn this game when I was playing it since its release lul

Re agent killed: You would think a spy would be a rogue and take "Reliable Talent" so even a nat 1 becomes a 10.

Here I was thinking I had a pretty decent game, watching potato with so few cities by turn 100, thinking somehow he was going to take 200+ turns to win.... then he turned on the national parks. Nice win and showed me why Potato is the best at explaining the game.

23:40 "People reload when things don't go their way" Guilty as charged. This is exactly why I NEED to play iron man modes

Man I was hoping they added Ireland to the game with you as the leader 🤣 But I still enjoyed this video!

I've had great fun but haven't yet survived the surprise attack scenarios thrown at me round about the industrial age. It was an honor to play your scenario, Mr Whiskey, sir. lol

How dare you meet Gilgachad and not immediately befriend him? Look how sad he is. But I'm glad you did it in the end, and also established an embassy in him.

This civ is so good that a professionel player has to resort to the cheapest exploits :)

Potato is playing 4D chess. I'm banging rocks on the ground. Thanks for another detailed video. You're the best.

I'm way too hyper to pay enough attention to ingest the information. I have got to come back, rewatch, and attempt this challenge! Haven't managed a game on Prince yet, but maybe I can do it with detailed coaching.

At about 1 hour 20; the American colloquialism is "Peddle to the metal"

I had a crazy etemenanki + reeds and marshes pamtheon game for this challenge. 20+ marsh tiles within my first 4 cities. Was very fun!

"bro roles a natural 1!" I flat out died when you said that!

They did this weeks ago Potato! I completed the Emperor challenge in mid May!

Is anyone else dying inside because he built the Etemenanki on the floodplains instead of the marsh, subsequently losing 4 food and anything else from future floods.

We need you to be the bridge between the gamers and developers for civ 7. I have a feeling you gave them a ton of input already though

Literal YEARS I watch this channel... Never knew of the Diplo favor exploit LOL. You should make a exploit compilation video

I actually went in a COMPLETLY different way with my first few cities, specifically because of some of the problems you mentioned. It's easy to get population as Kamer, so my focus went in the other direction. I founded my city on the luxury, and set up several fidget spinner industrial zones. By the mid game (forget the late game) I had several cities that could produce wonders with ease, and were still at well over 10 pop (some over 20 pop). Combined with rural cities producing national parks and the win was a breeze.

moksha first might have been a better play, you will be drowning in faith. buying districts for faith was hilarious in my playthrough of your scenario.

I like that Potato forgot that he turned off barbs lol

managed prince, couldn't do the harder one so looking forward to this

went on to play other day and was like...PotatoMcWhiskey - i watch him on youtube hahah

1:26:30 that commercial hub placment argumentation is wild to me 😂

Yes Potato! More Civ! Do some of the mods that UrsaRyan is doing. Please do more Civ so I can hear less awful puns.

I never saw a single barbarian in my challenge play through and assumed the barbs were turned off.

potato, when you were planning your third city beside bologna, you forgot that you can culture bomb and steal tiles from them with holy site.dropping it where you have aqueduct would steal the wheat farm.

I see Potato, I hit the like button

Had a rough time on this one - Greece snowballed on the second continent (16 cities) and was sitting on 500+ culture. Wasn't able to shift-end-turn-til-win until hitting the earliest "wish you were here" golden age.

So pleased that you've got to the point where Firaxis are actually paying you to play their game; it's a dream that so few of us will ever get to experience, being paid to play our favorite game by the very makers of said game! Good for you mate! Now I've just got to work out how to get Valve to pay me to play CS...

The challenge was quite fun. I had a population of about 250.

On the last Khmer monthly challenge I tried so hard to rush the great bath and temple of Artemis on top of a holy site and the aqueduct adjacent it got insane to say also if you can get a harbor in your capital with those it was pretty giga chad to say the least

Cries in lady of the reeds and marshes 😅

Why did I think they were gonna put you in as an entire Civ

Great build, I was a little worried when I saw 1 city on turn 62. I just have one comment. With that faith income, I would have liked to have seen a push to divine architect on Moksha. I feel like you could have loss surplus logistics, possibly a later one on Pingala past conn/research, and possibly Liang to get that. Then you chop with Magnus and move Moksha around to use the faith to convert to theater squares and holy sites. But regardless, great game.

1:07:18 "I am so glad I reloaded" where? When? Did you cut it out huh? 😂 I love your videos BTW!

I love your content dude! 🥔🥔🥔 Can u tell us what's that mod that keeps track of amenities and housing on the top bar?

I played and beat the Prince version when it came out. I loved the opportunity to play as Khmer and focusing on River holy sites, as I would not have chosen him otherwise!

Does anyone know what mod Tater has that lets him drop tacks without opening up the tack menu at the bottom left? He seems to just click the wheat tiles and the Add Tack detail pop up appears... I'm sure its a shift+click or a ctrl+click or something along those lines but whatever it is, I want it! I already have the advanced map tacks mod, so I know that isn't it... unless you can go into controls and bind 'add tack' to something custom??

Would love to see le Blob game where you play as French Eleanor and make the only victory condition be "paint entire map pink".

Ive been very excited for this drop. What kind of input did you have in the game conditions?

What even is civ 6 without potato explaining the reason I suck so much ❤

Thanks for another 2 and half hour long video! P.S Do you have any plans to do Endless Space 2? they recently fixed up the last DLC and its actually playable now and i have been enjoying the hell out of it

we got a sponsored churn boys

I got a turn 164 win on emperor for this. I went with cross-cultural dialogue and bee-lined flight (after unlocking aqueducts), ignoring everything else. After that I looped back around for medieval and renaissance walls and printing. It helped that Valletta was in the game so I could get the walls up quickly once I got conservation. Also, I noticed what I assume is a bug in that Medieval walls provided 3 tourism and Renaissance walls provided 2 tourism, when I think it is supposed to be the other way around. This is the first time I've been purchasing walls with faith while paying close attention to my tourism, so maybe it has always been that way, or maybe it was a bug just in this scenario.

"Ol' Man Potato!" - everybody Sing!

Man put all them farms down at the start just to build districts over

1:58:13 mine and most of the community’s definition of a tall build is where you immensely prioritize making big super cities over more, smaller cities.

Surely this means Civ 7 tomorrow:0

you know what, that IS how I play my civ games. Autosave reloads and tedious 1 gold sales to get that one build purchase. I feel seen :)

Regarding declaring friendship to the AI and Gilgamesh in particular, as far as I know it's always possible to immediately declare friendship to him the same turn you met him. Which will probably last the entire game, since by being friends with him you fulfill his primary agenda... making him more likely to declare friendship again once it's run out.

I think you should have taken Desert Folklore. A Holy Site on a river surrounded by desert and with +100% adjacenty bonus for holy sites and the craftmansship belief would give you +16 Faith, Food and Production with only one district and no buildings.

Am I need gathering storm to play this event couse with rise & fall it dosent work?

To really play a 'tall' game in civ6 is possible with mods. Cypryan's Wide and Tall is a blast to play :)

Grats brother. Wish I could play these on my consoles though. But I still watch whenever I can

Is there any difference between this "challenge" and a normal Khmer wetlands game with classical start and random map seed? I could not find any in my own games.

I nerded hard when I got my little potato badge.

would desert folklore not have been absolutely insane this game with how much desert you had around you?

13 housing on turn 14 is wild
