  • Civilization 6 or Civ VI as many like to call it is a classical 4X hex based grand strategy spanning the ages from the start of Civilization to the start of the great space age. There are several ways of winning a game of CIV 6. You can defeat your enemies, out science and tech your rivals, win the game of tourism and culture. And finally get a religious victory. A Religion only victory occurs when the player partakes in none of the other forms of victory and simply converts half of all other player civs cities. Now many would say that CIVILIZATION 6 IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED GAME WITH NO EXPLOITS. However today I present to you the Religion Only Challenge. And as you will soon discover something is slightly unbalanced in civilization 6 at the moment.
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
    So sit back relax and enjoy this Civilization 6 challenge!

It was the lack of representation in the government, the general way we were being treated, ETC... Not to mention, the taxes themselves were actually quite fair, considering Britain had emptied it's coffers defending us from the French.

      I once played Kongo on a duel map, and it was smart enough to use the World Congress to keep me from gaining any Great Prophet points for a session (as I would easily win a religious victory due to Kongo being unable to found their own). It's possible Kongo builds Stonehenge in order to keep other civs from exploiting that weakness.

    Something that wasn’t really an exploit but just funny was the time I kept sending my apostles in to convert Spain, and every time they got (ironically) predictably Spanish Inquisition’ed, due to them all having Martyrdom I just got another relic that gave me more faith with which I bought more apostles.

    My last cup of tea:
    This morning, I was upset, I had an art project due within a few days, and I didn't feel like doing it. U just sat there staring at some paper, however, I knew I had to do it! So I got up, made my myself some lovely Yorkshire tea, added a bit of milk, waited a few minutes, and drank it all. Before I knew it, the art project was completed to the highest standard, and all thanks to Yorkshire tea, thier tea is truly magical!

    "It is said that when Zoroaster founded Church of Tea, the world's first Religion, the sun broke through the clouds, and a sweet scent filled the air."
    This might just be the most beautiful sentence I have ever read.

    Civ III was my favorite. But I don't know much about two, so there is that. I played 4 warlords most.

    As I see you play Civ 6 as the Queen I can't help but think about Danny Bhoy's joke talking about meeting the queen and her coming in to the Rocky theme song.

      @Blood Dragon Well, with the Geneva convention having spies everywhere, I wanted to know if it was posible and then I found the spiffing brit.
