Hey folks, know it's out of your hands to a degree, but due to work and life changes, I now spend most of my Civ time on Switch. It would be wonderful if the latest pack could roll to console. Cheers.
25:42 Reminds me of when I used Zombies to get eureka bonuses from Tribal Villages. I imagine my zombie walking into the village, screaming "BRAINS!", and the villagers going "HE WANTS KNOWLEDGE."
I tried this after you gave his chanel a shoutout the other day. If a zombie kills a unit, it always spawns another zombie. When a zombie dies, all zombies get +1 mutation strength. I spent some time killing zombies with zombies and they became absolutely insane.
I used to listen to your videos while sleeping a few years ago when I was 14, now I'm 17 and although I've gone through so much it feels like I'm back here again, where I started all that time ago. I don't know if I'm supposed to be happy or sad, but I am glad to be here. I am feeling motivated again today and so here's where I start again, thanks for being here for me and everyone else
@@PotatoMcWhiskey You have no idea how soothing your voice is, I've fallen asleep to your vids more times than I'd like to admit... (but I come back the day after to watch properly 😉)
24:48 With all the devastation in the area, that Byzantine missionary probably figured that the people of London were in urgent need of being converted, 'cause they were all at high risk of imminent death.
I’m pretty sure this is exactly what the Civ developers were thinking of when they made Quin Shi Huang’s new ability. Definitely they thought about how this ability would interact with zombies mode… More seriously I’m so glad this works like it does. I’m going to have to try this challenge myself!
I've made 3 attempts at it so far... died twice and last time I spawned within 12 hexes of all 5 other civs and the only things the damn barb camps would spawn is a freaking spearman. Its probably the hardest challenge I've attempted.
Was watching the yongle vod and still at the beginning parts. Had to pause it and came to check if you have the follow up gameplay of the test. Hit the jackpot. Sweet!
The new Qin makes it actually possible to play the game by taking over the world with a horde of zombies. It turns zombie apocalypse mode on its head and now you're the zombies.
I've done the Civ V version of this (on a lower difficulty) and it was fun. I only puppeted cities, so I never fully controlled a single city, and they just automatically built buildings, and no units. It's a 2/3 chance to take a barbarian unit when taking an encampment, and no zombie mode, so it works somewhat differently. It's fun to do a weird playthrough like that, though.
Your comment on making zombies I feel is legit. Honestly only when this mode is active, have a special civ available that isn't a true historical civ, and have it be basically you versus the world. In the initial stage of your game as long as you don't give open borders, and you don't have an owned zombie unit on the field, the other civ factions will still trade with you. Meanwhile for the early game you can set up zombie barbarian camps to make in general hostile zombies that attack anyone like the normal zombie mode, and shortly after the classical era through either a tech option(your tech tree will have some regular techs for economic and development, but all unit related tech is converted to zombie bonuses) or a pantheon option (you only have one pantheon you can choose, and it is subjugation or control of all zombie units like dead space markers, or hive minds) your tag is switched to being hostile to every other civ. However, it isn't like you research or pick this option and you become instantly hostile, you can still pretend to be a nomie civ until you click a button or build something. You have a domination victory (if you turn the other civ's capitals into a zombie city), science (creation of a dead space like entity the brethren moon who can create markers and spread across the universe), and a religious or cultural victory (self explanatory in regards to the people of the planet accepting zombies, or your religion which creates zombies).
Syllable-final 'r' is silent in most dialects of Khmer which is why khmer is often pronounced khmae, but Northern Khmer still pronounces it, so don't get too stressed about saying khmer.
Hey Potato, you said zombies should not raze cities and should be zombie spawns so in my mind I think: Zombies capture a city and automatically converts all its population into a zombie unit, every district and improvement gets pillaged and that city doesn't flip to loyalty, it needs to get recaptured to avoid spawning more zombies.
from what i remember zombies can sap population from cities to spawn more zombies?? not sure what the conditions are exactly though edit: happens 33:19 and city goes from pop 2 to pop 1. now when exactly does it happen? can you farm zombies off of a city state?
Hi Potato! Hope you're doing well. Always enjoy your content a lot & was wondering: would you consider putting together a "tutorial style" video, focusing on the ins and outs of the Great Wall? I assume there are lots of Civ players who, like me, now went back to playing as China for the first time in quite some time. I had forgotten just how tricky it is to get everything about the Great Wall just right. Timing, identifying priorities, when it makes sense to start off with another improvement, maybe already planning to replace it later on, having as few open wall ends as possible, etc. Especially after these China games, you must be full of nuggets of wisdom on this subject! Don't know how popular "tutorials" are vs game recaps, but with the right thumbnail -cough- not-clickbait -cough-☺ I'm sure it would find its audience... Or does the fact that in this last game, you ended up going all in on the Moai improvement mean that the Great Wall maybe just isn't all it's cracked up to be? 🥔 🐼
If you're interested in a challenge: it is possible to beat the game via culture using only the Biosphere and green energy as a tourism source on Deity. This means no Theatre Squares, Entertainment Complexes, Great Works/Relics, Walls, Wonders (besides the Biosphere), etc. I did it a while back and it was a really interesting game.
I have never thought about a zombie afterlife before but you are so right! I would definitely just want to be a tiny bite converted zombie rather than a fully eaten one!!!
A funny thing to do would be to settle your capital, drag tons of zombies around it, and since they can't take your capital l, in a few turns, you could create tens of zombies!
Missionary be like "Have you heard of our lord and saviour Jezus? He came back from the dead!" -- Half a dozen zombies freshly arisen into undeath: "Braaaaaaaains...."
hello, champion. 👑

and thats how you know youve made it in gameplay videos about a game,
have the game itself greet and respond...

I've never heard Potato laugh his head off so hard for so long and I love it :)
I would watch this again (& again) just for the cackling laughs!! 😆😅🤣😂
Great to hear you having so much fun again Potato.
24:48 With all the devastation in the area, that Byzantine missionary probably figured that the people of London were in urgent need of being converted, 'cause they were all at high risk of imminent death.

22:33 "London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath"
Go Check out Boes's channel and watch his video: czcams.com/video/4PDzJEagm84/video.html
ALSO CAN YOU DO THE CHALLENGE? Give it a Shot!
I've made 3 attempts at it so far... died twice and last time I spawned within 12 hexes of all 5 other civs and the only things the damn barb camps would spawn is a freaking spearman. Its probably the hardest challenge I've attempted.
Literally watched his zombie horde vid a day ago. Love the content from both
The missionary dialog scene had me DEAD! XD
45:03 "it's not the end of the world"
said the zombie master
31:47 you don't understand how much the reference melts my heart
Finished up such a nice lil tourism game as Teddy, no wars at all, only settled cities. Just a nice lil sim city. Then I see this. Run my mooses!
I sure do love when a new potato mcwhiskey vid drops!
I prefer when they FLY
@@PotatoMcWhiskey I prefer when they shamble 🧟🧟🧟
I said this when the Rulers of China's Abilities were first Released, and I'll say it again:
~Unifier... GREATEST ABILITY EVER!!!
For me, I think the best part was how much fun you were having while doing this challenge.
10/10 video
"He fell for the magnet."
"The... what magnet?"
"Oh, um, just the magnet."
That was fun, broken but fun.
I remember I saw someone do this with germanys ability in civ 5 which was harder since you only had a 30% chance to convert after attacking I believe
It was %67 chance when you kill a barb camp for the cost of a little bit of gold
Should be called Necromancer Qin lol.

Ya i just imagine the online lobbies zombies being all qin and zombies mode. Try and be the supreme zombie master
Potato laughing like this is amazing and so so precious 🥹
having no yields icons was killing me the entire time, great vid tho!
I don't need yields tho
"I was hoping for God of War, but I think it's been taken" Potato says, mouse 3 beliefs below God of War
He meant to say god of the forge, judging by what he said it did
This was the funniest video I had seen you post. I laughed so hard.
I love how these games are super inconsistent to start, but once you got enough zombie boys you are unstoppable.
Apart from the very entertaining challenge, it’s nice to see some more ‘fun’ editing in your video. Nice work fellas
Overlords? Bacta Tanks? These culture references are right up my alley.
Awesome run. Watched Boesthius' yesterday... Also fun.
Could an all zombie, No city challenge be possible?
Somehow a diplomatic victory is all i could think

Love challenge runs from you!
Potato's most hilarious and entertaining video? Quite possibly! Way to inspire the spud, boesthius!
I don't think AI had spies to spawn zombies in 1520BC :D Great video, gave me massive laugh multiple times.
Imagine thinking Jesus would care about zombies when he was one.
