  • Civilization 6 is back with a brand new DLC expansion the frontier pass! This adds two new civs Gran Colombia and Maya. Along with this we also got the very fun brand new apocalypse game mode which adds soothsayers who are summoners of natural disasters at an unnatural rate. This allows for some unique situations when combined with an infinite meteors exploit created by the existence of soothsayers! You see when you combine soothsayers with the great bath you end up with a city that can produce more faith than multiple entire empires put together. And what better thing to do with all that faith than go for an easy religous victory or even better summon infinite meteors onto enemy cities and watch them all melt away in natural disasters. All of these exploits aside gran colombia is already one of the most overpowered civs in the game with the ability to teleport armies around the map with incredible speed.
    If you want to grab the new dlc you can do it via this link: 2kgam.es/Spiff...
    I dont receive any form of payment for this so there is no pressure :)
    So sit back and watch as the spiffing brit tests to see if Civilization 6 is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits or if the infinite faith and infinite meteors is broken!!
    This video game exploit video will be jam packed with a best bits funny moments montage style of editing similar to that of Valefisk, Robbaz and RTgame. So sit back relax and grab a cup of tea to enjoy with the spiffing brit!

Not elves, but just, you know, some mythical insanity injected into the game, like true cataclysms that can happen, and a faith unit that justifies my constant rush for Astrology turn 1 is a great thing too xD
    I will DEFINETLY mod the Soothsayers to cost 1000 faith though (because when you're a religious civ, getting hundreds of faith a turn isnt hard lategame. 50 faith as the default cost is RIDICULOUSLY broken xD

They are immune to blizzard, and enemies take double damage from blizzard in your territory (which is, quite frankly, a death sentence: it deal at least 80 damage), and of course they have a tundra bias for an easy access to blizzards. For your faith production, the Aurora dance pantheon provide 1 faith per adjacent tundra tile to your holy site.
    In addition, Liang (a governor) have a bonus that make the city immune to damage from the environment, which is perfect if you want to artificially trigger volcano eruptions. Those are the only disasters that provide science.
