"My favorite is purple" - Picks pink.
Fuchsia is technically both pink and purple.
@@InternetMameluqwhat a mind fusching colour. Like teal (blue-green) or chartreuse (yellow-green)
Second person I've seen from Europe who called what I would say is obviously pink, purple. Maybe they teach colors differently over there?
Maybe he's shitfaced from McWhiskey.
@@iambicpentakill971think hot pink is more what every one thinks of when they think pink
not the dark one this is
2:04:04
Potato "It sure would be nice if I could click on this and set a reminder"
The Tooltip literally on screen as he is saying this "CTRL + Left Click to set a Reminder"
In all honestly, the Reminder system in Millenia is great. Every strategy game needs it really.
the experienced player gambit of never reading tooltips strikes again
He does it later in the episode. Truly a learning experience as he frequently says
@@Wolf-Nyan Everyone gets bored sometimes, you think I had a choice?
I'm so happy that every strategy game is getting nesting tooltips, now every strategy game needs reminders. I wonder what the next big quality of life will be mandatory.
I've cited it as the one (genuinely feasible) feature I really want added to EU4 where date timings are frequently crucial and not always alerted
Says purple, *picks pink*, 250 comments in the first 3 minutes of the video. My dude has unlocked the algorithm.
Saying something wrong on purpose to get comments is not even a new idea
@@johnfsenpai 🤓🤓
Agree that an option for how many continents to start with would be a good add.
Maybe with a "new world" option as well that one continent will be unpopulated.
"When you watch this video, the game will only have been out for a few hours" It releases in 4 days.
"I'm going to play purple this game" Picks pink.
I get the feeling he's quite sleep deprived after playing this game.
I hope he didn't release the video on the wrong date by mistake, could cost him money if he did that :/
@@ChristDuque worry bout your own mulah
@@shesh2265 Weird thing to say
Nah purpleish pink. The colour he picked was kinda in between. Maybe he's a bit colour blind. It's either a very light shade of purple or a dark shade of pink, does it really matter?
@@jaspermooren5883 Yeah a lot of guys do have a very slight colour blindness, sometimes it's specific to a colour or just so slight it's hard to notice.
Did anyone else notice the massive jump/skip of the transition between Age Of Enlightment to Age Of Aether?
Yeah i was also confused
Thought it was just me... Kinda sad I didn't get to see him pogging at unlocking it
Yes
I think Potato might possibly like this game. Just a guess.
yeah he's not great at hiding when he's just doing a stream because it's sponsored, and this isn't that.
@@harjutapa I mean he never hides when he does a stream just for sponsors because he hardly ever takes a sponsoring for something he isnt at least a little excited for.
@harjutapa I don't know, don't you think it's a little suspicious that this guy who likes 4x games... likes this new 4x game?
Nahhhhhhh
Construction companies must be getting crazy good business considering potato builds, razes and then rebuilds about half his tiles every turn.
I wasn't really impressed by what I saw of Millennia but after playing the demo I'm actually excited about it
you can tell Potato hasn't played Civ ina while.... he has lost all sense of time!
"The game will have been out for only a few hours"
yes..... in 5 days
That's only 120hr, which is probably just a few games, ergo, win
@@CED99 by in 5 days, I meant the game isn't out yet and would be... in 5 days. Not that he played 120 hours of Millenia
@lanteanboy I was referencing that time flies when you play 4x. Also, the time is expressible in hours provided you have the loosest definition of "few", as a people the Irish excel at this; "I'm off to the pub for a few pints/ a few hours"
So it turns out five hours isn't enough. I would like more Millennia please.
My personal things about millenia that I love:
-Warfare is a lot more interesting and a lot less tedious than other Civ-type games. They've combined the Civ 4 style doomstacks with the Civ6 style tactical combat somehow, and it works.
-You can indirectly control your cities through vassalage to reduce micromanagement, and actually get a bonus from it (reduced political mana drain). You can even specialise in this style of gameplay through certain culture picks.
-Overall feels more dynamic due to the Age system.
-opt-in supply chain economy. Things don't come CRASHING DOWN if your chain isn't perfect, but you get rewarded for making smooth supply chains. Its very noob and pro friendly.
I agree with those, now some things that look awful:
-You have to rush through eras. I don't want to skip X tech, but if I don't the AI gets to pick the next age. So, you might have to skip gunpowder and now you have a "modern" army that shoots bows. Never would happen, weird. They need to tweak how you advance, shouldn't just be "get 3 techs" for most basic age.
- You have NO setup options. Game speed? Nope. AI aggressiveness? Nope. Amount of barbs? Nope. Dry or wet? Nope. Hot or cold? Nope. More or less islands? Nope. Premade maps? Nope. Map editor? Nope. All this we have in other games, and all things they SHIPPED with. (for some of them)
- No option to block or turn off the fantasy eras. Age of Heros I can handle, fine. Age of Either, I can't, and here is why: Once you get it, you HAVE to go to a normal age. So, you have steam punk things that defy physics of this world... then you have normal tanks/planes/riflemen. If you are going to have these ridiculous fantasy things, you need to KEEP having those things. Not have them and then go "ok time to be normal again but we still have rocket blimps" No.
- The barbs don't seem to advance, they stay ancient. So you have B1 Lancers bombing barbs in canoes throwing rocks. Come on guys. Even in Civ 1/2 the barbs advanced in tech.
A lot of good ideas poorly executed. Game was rushed.
@@Cruor34 not always picking the next age is an inherent part of the game I think, unless you're going for a specific strat it doesn't really ruin anything by not getting to get to the next age first.
@@admiraljohan7152 also not 100% sure but researching more techs in an era will make progressing to the next era take less turns. So like you say you really don't need to rush every era
@@Cruor34 i find that the decision of temporarily skipping certain techs to be able to decide the next age is a decent tradeoff, you can always research it later, the most valid critique is it missing stuff on release like changing parameters for a new game and multiplayer while marketed as a multiplayer game is ridiculous, and then the dlc's, the ancient or prehistoric dlc I can understand, but locking the atomic age behind a dlc is stupid
@@Rullstolsboken Different strikes. I couldn't care less about multiplayer. I Have MMOs/Modern Warfare's/ Elden Rings for multiplayer. These games I will always play single player. I want a 30 minute turn I'm taking a 30 minute turn. I could never play a 4X with people. MARKETING it and not having it is wrong, but if I were the director, just no multiplayer. Skyrim sold a billion copies, no multiplayer.
Wow! I just watcher near end of the video and you can actually terraform the land! Not just plant or cut trees, but actually reclaim land over the sea, remove mountains, or even transform desert into grassland! That's awesome! Never seen that in a x4 before.
@@Quilly_DM я играл года 4 назад. Но от неё устают глаза, очень старая графика.
Unciv
You could do that in Civ 2... Like 20 years ago.
Terraforming was in SMAC in 1998.
In Age of Wonders you could cast spells to raise or level mountains or flood the world. Super cool!
Can I just say, as someone who has enjoyed your expertise in 4x games, and in particular Civ...it's quite enjoyable to see a game that has a ton of depth, however, your playthroughs have actually been dictated by a "narrative", a story, for the building of the nation. It's such a fun take on 4x games, and really emphapsizes going for a story, rather than a Win condition. Really fun playthroughs. Thank you for amazing content.
I think there's a jump from turn 181 to 194 at 2:47:33 D: I was looking forward to the buildup & introduction of the Age of Aether!
Ah so I wasn't the only one who noticed that.
This is probably the most comprehensive and well-played Millenia gameplay I've seen so far on CZcams. Well done Potato
Honestly the only person that managed to sell Millennia to me.. his delivery and deep dive is just immaculate. The price tho lmao. Its gotta be a wishlist for now.
It's like someone took Civ and improved on the parts I hate. I hate in civ 6 how much your experience depends on the random draw quality of the land you get. This deemphasizes that so much and you work with what you have. Your cities improve the lands around you and it's not that you just got a lucky triangle of deer. That and Whiskey is just insidious, he always seems to enjoy whatever he picks up.
To be fair, though, Civ prices are rather pricey as well
52:59 this is so cuuuuute
Unironically what’s pushing me over the edge to get this
Its as expensive as civ on launch.
Alghtough to be fair I never did buy any civ game on launch.
And a paradox one . Always on heavy discounts.
The price? It is 39.99 that isn't bad at all
I would love to see a crisis run!! This was a really cool play through and for once I feel like we have an actual Civ competitor 😂
I love these Millenia runs! Glad they're picking you to feature it! ❣
Tips based on the "mistakes" I have seen in the video
Note for the start: It's hard to justify anything other than Influence as a starting bonus. Influence is such a hard yield to get for the early portion of the game and growing to tiles as quickly as possible is such a huge benefit. What I believe the "optimal" start is influence passive, first building Dolman, researching scouting first, first culture into spawning units (if you manage to find a barb within the first 5 turns which should be easy) to be able to take on a barb camp with 3 warbands, then getting 1/2 scouts from there depending on how the game is progressing. Your next culture goes into a town (hard preference for lumber early), and then you just chain local reformers from then on. I can see the argument for getting scout first, but the initial border growth from finishing the dolman early will allow you to place a better town and then grow around that town very quickly.
1: If you have any access to the ocean, one of your first improvements should be a dock. The 5 food from the tuna that you get with the boat that doesn't require a worker is massive and with the Hunting NS, the 1 Expo XP would have been massive early on. With the dock and the lookout, local reforms would have generated 1 additional Expo XP a turn. "Naked" hunting camps are good in an pinch, but not something you want top prioritize over getting access to the water and Tuna.
2: The proper way to play Wild Hunter is to spam Bow Hunters to get more meat to get more culture to keep a constant chain on Local Reforms to increase your production and Expo so you can rocket through the tree at an accelerated rate. The timing push available to Wild Hunters when you get the final upgrade turning them into Crossbows but better, is insane to wipe out your neighbors; I struggle to think of any unit combo in age 2/3 that can defend against spear & upgraded bow hunters. The elephant unlock is hit or miss so you go bow hunter into improvement points on ivory/bone , into food, into the crossbow upgrade. You can back fill elephants and the other techs once you are done with these. Edit: apparently he didn't know bow hunters could harvest goods in neutral territory lol. Bow hunters is the 3rd strongest A2 NS (and my personal favorite) for this reason (behind Raiders and Mound Builders). Yeah, the realization at 52:00 mins is hilarious; 4x players and not reading, name a more iconic duo.
He corrected a lot of his early mistakes which is good to see. If he had known this, I wonder if he would have made the "correct" play of doing the town in the capital to the south to get a lumber town for production. Lumber is extremely strong early game (really all game) and with Bow Hunters and access to the water, you should have absolutely 0 issue with food. The only justification I could see for putting the first town in the capital to the north where all the scrubland is, is if you were planning on razing the free city to the north to eventually grow into the triple deer tile but even that would have been better as a second town (ideally with a pioneer and then absorb outpost). The plan would have been foiled with Rome taking it over but that info wasn't available at the time of the decision.
3: Don't build towns on level 1 vassals especially if you aren't going to integrate them anytime soon. Local Reforms is so powerful early game that you have to have a damn good reason to not use it on cooldown and the town on the coast city (that honestly shouldn't have been placed there) is not it. To expand on this, by turn 65, he could have been doing a Local Reforms and have the culture back up every 3 turns. Local Reforms last for 5 so you could alternate Local Reforms and whatever else very quickly to snowball out of control. The Local Reforms would have helped the production to pump out more bow hunters.
4: Art XP is insanely powerful early game and should be taken in almost every situation (especially over warfare when you have such a massive amount coming in) due to the interactions not only with religion, but the immigration ability to drag your new cities up to 10 pop ASAP. A good rule of thumb when it comes to picking XP choices is "can I generate this in my current situation?" If you cant, get that XP.
5: Getting Age of Heroes with an Expo NS is huge because of the lodge generating Expo experience. Expo experience stays super relevant throughout the game with buying tiles, doing explorers, or dumping into social fabric for up to 10% reduced tech cost.
6: Don't build towns for fishing villages. Towns need to be used to drive your border expansion into a more beneficial location and getting Shipbuilding already gives you a large growth bonus onto water tiles. The town for Tezcuzo would have been better going towards the hills (honestly it shouldn't have been done until the town was integrated and then the borders expanded because there was a 4 hill mining town above the 2 Irons).
7: @ 1:03:00 Its very expensive to rebuild towns, this is also another reason by you don't want to build towns on vassal's until they are pop capped (at 5) because it gives you more area to defend.
8: The +4 gold gold on farming towns is extremely mid compared to 450 upfront. Especially if you are dealing with Chaos, that gold basically buys you out of one Chaos event. You need 113 turns to repay that gold on a single farming town (which he has none of).
9: The second town in the capital should have been a Lumber town especially since the turn before he had the border growth but the city to the south (Edo) was a misplay and is eating into his capital's available tiles. You really need to spread your cities out super far from each other which is going to be a hard thing for a lot of civ players to break a habit on. Edit: Yeah, he is super boxed in on his capital.
10: Arts and a religion focus is pretty tough because you want to use your Art XP to get through the NS tree but also spread religion. This is where getting every single shred of Art XP and chaining Local Reforms on your capital becomes such a huge benefit. The number 1 critique of this playthrough is that for the massive amount of Culture generated by Wild Hunters, there is a severe lack of Local Reforms being done on the capital. Local Reforms is way too busted to not be having close to 100% uptime on.
11: "Utility ships are fine." Utility ships are insanely powerful due to generating 5 food for 0 workers and on tiles outside of your borders. You want to be relying on that for food as much as possible. You can also export the Tuna to your other cities to keep their growth up as well.
12: The intolerance age doesn't play around. You don't want to be creating a religion super early into the game if you have multiple smaller cities until you have the ability to immediately get religion in all of them.
13: 1:29:12 Buying the tile you put the town on and then putting the town 1 tile deeper allows you to get a 5 forest lumber town instead of the 3 and you're currently capped on Expo experience. You want to put your towns as far away as you can to gobble up more of the tiles since influence takes forever.
14: Poets are insanely strong for any Arts NS. See comment 10.
15: Make sure the second you finish a market you're doing a foreign import. This is trading wealth for a variety of different yields which is very high value. Same thing with stores. Edit: he missed out on probably around 60 Arts XP from importing charms. Even if you don't have good relations with your neighbors, you can still generate 1 culture from trade goods.
16: @1:45:00There is literally a second golden city right next to the first city lol.
17: Yeah, CTRL + Left click for a reminder. 4x players and reading man 10/10.
18: 2:11:00, you can put fishing boats on normal water tiles to gather fish. Its 1 less food than Tuna
19: hard agree on 2d for 4x games. There are very few strategy games that I enjoy the graphics of. Humankind and Viccy 3 and the only 2 that come to mind.
20: 2:26:29 Potato liking colonialism is sussy. Time to cancel him. (/s if it wasn't implied)
21: 2:27:15 Great masters is flat out busted. Local reformers on all cities is so disgustingly good that I cant even wrap my head around what could possibly be stronger than that. There is definitely a disgusting line of play for a game where you go Wild hunters for huge culture to be able to maintain actual cities, into crusades to take over enemy cities, into Great masters to have absolutely nutty cities all the time. This has to be close to the optimal going wide strat. (Sure raiders would be good, but fuck raiders and playing with that broken garbage).
22: Olympians into Scholars seems super strong if you can manage to maintain good relationships with your neighbors. Not sure what you would play for A4 NS though.
23: I am dying. He unlocked golden age, has had 2 cultures, and still hasn't used it. He is getting culture events every 5 turns WITHOUT using it. Please Potato, save me from this hell. Edit: up to 3. Please Potato the Eureka's aren't good. Edit: 4. 4 FREAKING CULTURE EVENTS. PLEASE POTATO I NEED TO SEE THE YIELDS. IM DYING. THE WHOLE REASON YOU PICKED THIS NS WAS FOR GOLDEN AGE. 3:05:11 HE SAYS ITS JUST CONSITENT BUT HASNT HIT THE "MY WHOLE EMPIRE GETS 20% YIELDS" BUTTON YET. Edit: 5, please, save me from this madness Potato. My family is being held hostage and the only way they can be freed is if you HIT THE FREAKIN GOLDEN AGE BUTTON. EDIT: 6 BECAUSE 10 INNOVATION > 20% YIELDS ON YOUR WHOLE EMPIRE. EDIT: OH THANK GOD HE FINALLY DID IT. 7 CULTURES AND HE FINALLY DID IT. It turned a 5 turn culture into a 3, you could chain these non stop for 20% bonus on your whole empire. It gave an additional 18 science per turn which is 72 over the course of the buff. There is 0 shot this isnt better than eureka or any other culture bonus.
Ran out of space, continuing in comments.
Good tips! I was wincing a bit everytime Potato took Eureka instead of Local Reforms, since most of the time the latter gives the same or usually _more_ Knowledge and also everything else. There are maybe a handful of occasions where you really need the tech _right now_ but frankly I doubt it.
@@Skycroft1000 There were a few instances where the eureka was better than local reforms just based purely on the knowledge gain but the other yields greatly outweigh the raw science besides some niche scenarios.
It kills my soul that the second he finally used Golden Ages, he moved to the next Era to unlock the next NS which means no more Golden Ages. Edit: OH WAIT HE STILL CAN. Its only 20% though in all cities instead of the normal 50 but its still absolutely busted.
24: 2:56:06, and this is where the building cities too close to each other is really starting to hurt. His capital is so boxed in he doesn't have room for all of these improvements. The whole rant at 2:57:00 is basically the consequences of poor empire planning. He is SO boxed in on his capital now.
25: General tip for finding where your tile improvements are in your city, you can go to the workers screen, double click the tile, and it will highlight it on the city viewer in the bottom right. Helps to find stuff you want to delete.
26: 3:13:01 JFC DRONE STRIKE IS NASTY. All of these NS are absolutely sick. Well done devs, absolutely well done.
27: 3:19:32 Disappointed that there is no Facist government
28: 3:22:11 Potato, we need to have an intervention over Eurekas. You could be using these cultural events to generate socal fabric points to fill out your tree. The Eureka generated you 230 science when you are generating 119 a turn. That's less than 2 turns worth of science. Eurekas are not that good man. The second one generated you 147 science. That's barely 1 turn of science. That's 600 government XP points you could have saved right there instead of taking 3 turns off a tech. This can also be said for cutting edges as well. Local Reforms and Golden Age is more important than absolutely anything else you can do on your culture tree.
29: 3:27:25 realistically the bricks fell off about 2 ages ago. Having a loop for 1 brick maker? Sure. Having as much as you do? Absolutely not. You have been sitting capped on improvement points for a large chunk of this game.
30: 3:36:53 so your last 2 innovations have been generate large amount of X yield or gold. I wonder if you have done all the innovations available for your NS selections (I hope not). I really cant remember the last good innovation you got. Maybe the arts on bricks like 2 ages ago? Edit: He finally got a decent innovation so I guess its just rng on what you get. Still am not sold on innovation being amazing. Definitely not better than local reforms.
31: 3:57:15 Did he never unlock deep mines? Nope. Wild considering how many clay pits he had.
32: Terraforming is absolutely sick. 10/10 feature. I agree with the cost going down after some time but man is it cool to generate more land from no where.
No real comments for the last portion of the game. Once again, fantastic video @PotatoMcWhiskey I really appreciate you putting a full game on display here. I hope that my notes don't offend you, seeing small mistakes in your play will help me with mine. I learned a lot of lessons from watching this that will greatly improve my play and enjoyment of the game. I'm super hyped for the game and cant wait for multiplayer to absolutely dunk on some kids.
@@jtech8873 Why do you have the game already are you streamer?
Anyway nice post THANKS.
Game seems to have quite deep mechanics at release which I like maybe needs some more balancing of a few things that are too powerful related to other options so you get more meaningful choices.
@@cyberiankorninger1025 if you’re referring to local reforms being the clear front runner for culture, yeah, it’s over powered as hell.
I gotta say, didn't expect your nation to turn into religious hip hop fanatics. What a wild game.
Ecological religious hip-hop fanatics
I don't know how you did but you cracked the code on these long-form videos. I watched it all without looking away from the screen once. Really an amazing video and you sold me the game fully.
Most of the streams of this I've seen so far ended in an early religious victory in Age of Harmony, so it's nice to get a look at some more of the later game ages
I played the demo for this in the Steam Next Fest and liked it a lot. It's weird how much it *looks* like a by-the-numbers Civ clone, visually, yet has mechanics that are very different from Civ in a bunch of major ways.
I'm loving these long form videos!!
Nooo think about my productivity T_T
I'm glad the guy I saw the most when watching civ 6 videos can put his stamp of approval on this one. Was on my wishlist but have been conditioned by gaming to wait until other people play it before buying anything.
looking forward to you doing another 3 games of this, the alternate ages that you couldn't take because you have to take normal ages between alternates, crisis ages, crisis ages you couldn't take the first time
Baiting Firaxis into dropping civ 7. Doing gods work
Loved it-watched the whole thing through cause you're the first person I've seen attempt every good alternate age. Took a few days, brain got a little confused and tired at some points, but it was fun! The terraforming sea into land is very neat.
Please do more. I love listening to your commentary on this game.
Really appreciate the content man. Looking to get this when it drops
Really liked your coverage of this game
After playing the demo for a full night, havent done an all nighter in YEARS, i can honestly say i am looking forward to this game ALOT :D btw at 2:04:08 .. you should read your tooltips haha
I keep hearing about a Demo, but cannot find one on Steam or with Google.
@@christopherg2347 There was a demo a month or two ago, although it was only available for about a week.
@@rodeoboy11 Ah, that explains it. Pity I missed it.
@@christopherg2347 The demo was time limited so if you missed it you cant get it now :) But you can for sure look forward to the 26th!
@@rodeoboy11 If you downloaded the demo at the time it was available, you cannot launch it through steam, however, the files are still available on your computer and you can directly launch the exe and still play the demo! Maybe someone can share their files with you and you could play it too (don't sure if it will work)
My interpretation of the Imperial and Kingom is that the kingdom is good for having a lot of vassals and the Imperial is good for integrating those vassals and turning them into capitals. It makes sense if you think about what those words mean and if you look at their abilities.
Gaslighting us into thinking that hot pink is actually purple
It is. Fuchsia is technically both pink and purple. If you remove the blue tones it becomes less vivid.
So the real question is trying to figure out what the "Core activity" is, here in this game
. Every 4x has one. Old World is managing your dynasty. Civilization is (generally) city spam. HUmankind was all about placement of districts, picking your next era, and tactical battles.
I would say it would be the narrative of the Ages system
The Ages and the production chains
Another banger video love to see you play new games
Btw, you can ctrl+click something you want to unlock to put a reminder down. So if you get enough points to unlock it, the game will let you know. Say you want to unlock the next gov power thing. Ctrl+click the reform you want and you will get a popup once you have the needed mana for it. Works with improvement points as well.
Great hint!
It's kinda cool that you can have 100% upkeep cost reduction as long as you have enough innovation. All the random combos that you can just get makes me very interested when this game comes out!
Edit: I do hope you're not breaking some NDA by releasing this early!
Edit2: It looks like Chaos events needs a buff - either the cost to pass it needs to be increased per era, or each time you press the button it needs to go up more.
This will be a long night😂! Great playthough, love the advice too!
2:57:30 As far as I understood about this game, deleting old stuff to place new, better tiles is similar to placing districts over tile improvements in Civ: it's strictly better in terms of game mechanics, a good player should be routinely doing it, but it "feels wrong" for a newbie player.
I personally never did this in Civ until I saw your videos, because it felt being bad, considering I've spent resources to place the improvement, so why should I lose it just to spend even more resources to place a district there?? 😅
I would greatly prefer 2D. The end game for these games can often be tough because it takes so long to get there, and usually the ending is already decided. Adding horrendous lag to that is so annoying.
"Germany! Let me touch Dussledorf..."
Im laughing so hard at that.

Thoughts about Tezcuco:
Perfect city to integrate!
First town with 4 hills tiles will make for a nice mining specialisation. High production cities grow very fast.
Also, second city could be a lumber town with similar bonuses.
Food might be a little low but bow hunters and coastal positioning easily allows to mitigate those needs.
One feature of this that I appreciate over civ. is the way the UI Changes to show you what the combat actually looks like rather than just firing the Weapon at said unit or walking into an encampment. tempted to pick this up because of that alone lol
always enjoy your videos, Potato.
love love love the long form content
Think you released this a little earlier than you expected, the game isn't out for 4-5 days yet, not a few horus XD
I hope he didn't breach any contract by releasing the video by mistake. Other streamers and youtubers said they couldn't release any info after Age 6 before the game was released.
2:16:21
Nice customization options. Good work paradox.
Waiting (impatiently) for the game to launch and the visual mods!
You created a modern fundamentalist society obsessed with pop culture. Your pop culture icons have gotta be like Shintao TV gurus or something. Like the Shintao version of televangelists. LOL
4:12:00 ish - Love that edo is exporting Aether so it can import Aether.
Spiffing Brit tried it now. He immediately found a developer cheat that they had forgotten to take out (likely because it was still in pre-release). Also it is just the most Spiff thing that he actively TRIED to get the Age of Blood.
Im hoping for series once the game fully comes out. ^__^ Really enjoyed this video and this game.
I feel the vast majority of flack this game gets can be boiled down to graphic and UI issues.
Which is fair enough, people are allowed to decide their own priorities, but its a bit tiresome people pretend the ENTIRE game is bad because the visuals are poor.
The performance issue seems to be also a big one. If Potato with his 5000$ computer has performance issue problems... I feel for the rest of us.
Can we stop with the hate if he’s making some damn money let him make his fucking money. The great thing about CZcams is you don’t have to click on a video you don’t wanna watch.
Especially when the game is not bad.
And, actually, I have found a couple of games I enjoyed through paid letsplays/streams on YT. Ads are not always bad, just ~90% of times)
Eh, sponsored content should be much less of a thing from streamers. Thats how they start looking out for companies interests (looks at how many reviewers end up shilling for terrible games because of money) and not their audience that made them popular in the first place.
@@pirat66621 lets be real here he would have covered it one way or another not to mention that any civ 6 player will take a look at this game simply for how old and somewhat stale civ vi has become overtime
Now that I watched all of it, I can see how the title will be true for me too, hope there is a lot of variation in individual runs.
Yay it comes out in a few hours and im nearly finished the video. I'm off to the pub
Lol! When Potato final realised Bow Hunters are broken. Made me lol so hard! Also, scrublands are great places to put your production and services buildings so you can keep grasslands for more essential things.
I'm an hour and a half in and I just realized I'm watching a 5 hour video. Really well edited! The game looks really promising so far. Can't wait to see multiplayer!
I'm enjoying these long contents
*Compound Interest*
Hmm.... this game now smells 100% more british and 1000% perfectly balanced
I'm really liking this game. I feel the production chains add a lot to the decision making and such. Would love to see a few extra long form games like this if you have the time.
This playthrough was an experiment in how many times a person can decide that bricks are outdated and then choose to return to their traditional economy before they actually change anything.
I enjoyed this! I tend to play Civ in a very relaxed fashion with minimal war and maximal messing around with cities on low difficulty, and this definitely gave me an idea of how Millennia would suit my preferences with how you decided to only occasionally turn to the apparently overtuned military options. Love that micromanaging.
Thankyou for this video i watched the whole thing :)
"I have too much luxury in my Empire" ... Is that you, Cato?
i am pretty sure that in the demo, you could have both a utility ship and the fishing improvement give fish from the same tile...
Had to preorder this one haven't done that in 6 years for any game... really hope it's nice an polished but if takes time after release that's fine too. Can't wait!!
I watched the whole video in a few sessions.. Great game and well played! 👍👍
what a tease. i was sure of the release date, then you said it was already out. Sadly my memory was right. I still have to wait 4 days to play myself again ( i loved the demo)
Hey 'Tato just so you know Bow Hunters can harvest meat outside of your territory! You're welcome for the heads up!
Steam still says March 27th release, so definitely not available at time of viewing.
I hope he didn't release the video on the wrong date by mistake, could cost him money if he did that :/
The game being out for a couple hours jebaited the hell out of me haha (It's not out yet)
Big sponsorship by Paradox it would seem. ;) Good for you, man. And lovely for us. Thx for the content.
I think that Paradox noticed they made a huge mistake with their initial communication strategy for this game. They showed pictures of it, and it's really not where the game shines at all. They should have revealed the Ages mechanic from the beginning be because that's the immediately exciting gimmick. So now they are trying to get people excited again. Kinda works tbh.
Dude, that’s exactly why I like to play continent maps in civ six. It’s like each continent has its own tail, its own story.
From my demo playthroughs, I am convinced that bow hunters are on par with raiders;
You can pick them up first and mass build them getting more and more resources and quickly paying for themselves with bone/ivory and then cities dont need to produce local food at all for a while...
They also hold toe to toe with the raiders
Potato earlier in the game you were given an option to rase cities, the force migration option that added pop to your capital, I wonder if maybe city destruction is tied to era, or something else.
If you ever make a series of this, could you make it 1-3 Ages per Video?
I have no idea whats happening and at the same time I understand everything
I find it hilarious that Urban Engineering gives mixed-zone housing, when it was Urban Engineering that created the zoning catastrophy to begin with.
I might have underestimated the modern day usefulness of a clay pit but in a real world context... if you are going into space its probably well well past the time to get rid of most of them
I like how nobody even questions that the video is 5 hours long
If I was making this game, I think I would make all of the extraction stuff tile improvements. Then all the refining stuff be city buildings, but they still require a pop to work.
One thing that surprises me is that you don't go for production an building all the building possible ans speeding their building time. That was usually my strategy in Civ and it wilkl be my strategy here.
2:47:30 Age of enlightenment
2:47:35 Age of Aether?
I like the idea that in the endgame the game just turns into xcom or terra invicta. And now imagine the multi-player chaos.
He jumped into the age of aether without showing the advancement in all the previous ages he showed when they happened
"When you watch the video the game will only have been out for hours"
Game isn't out for 4 more days, grr!
I want a Potato McWhiskey 4x tier list where you rank the 4x games you've played on this channel.
5 Hours is really intimidating to see when deciding to click on a video. I much prefer the multiple 1 hour videos. Still loved the content!
one thing funny is that technically, there is ANOTHER alternate history run possible (by going normal on iron age then picking alternate from now)
52:40
Bow hunters not only fight but can serve the function of 1 pop by working a game tile. This is actually quite broken and does put Hunters on par with Mould Builders and Raiders.
However, a downside to them is that you don't get bonuses from towns with bow hunters. This is also quite important as those bonuses could 'make or break' a city.
The different units are very hard to tell apart.
Thanks for the video.
Btw is there a speed option? The game seems to be quite fast? Like you only get half of the things and the next age is already starting. Like getting lucky and going for Age of heroes but then in 20 turns it's going to be the next age or does it matter?
I saw Potato McHommie and Civilization in the thumbnail and clicked out of muscle memory…
2:47:00 is the extra grasslands tile in Agen the tile under Sendai?
cause it has the dot for a pop can work this but the other town doesn't
I usually watch lengthy videos on X2.0 speed...but with PotatoMc it's a bit to fast “Alrightalrightalright, let’s kick it off at 50 bucks-50 now, who’ll give me 60? 60, 60, got it, now 70? 70, no? Going once, twice, and sold for 60 to the cool cat with the red hat!”
Potato: this game released an hour ago
Also Potato: talks in depth about the meta in past tense
Have they boosted improvement points? or is it just moving later in the ages?
When i was playing the demo i pretty much had a use for all improvement points before i got them, here you seem to always have plenty of excess.
It's hard to tell sometimes how things progress as it jumps variable time as you speak or not.
Five more days since I did preorder on Steam looks far better than CIV which is just a pain to play now days.
"today i feel like being purple"
*selects hot pink*
*ai 5 is purple*
guys, i think the glasses on the potato arent just for show....or he might be hitting the whiskey i little much
