I just wanted to say that your channel is helping me get through a really tough time. It feels like watching your videos is one of the only things that helps me get my mind off everything. Thank you for posting.
talking about stellaris, one of the thing that i really like about it is the population system. there are different type of pops. kidnapping pops. migrating your pops. getting pops from other empires.
It's kind of unfortunate that warring to steal pops is magnitudes of power more beneficial then slow natural migration. Power leaning towards militaristic play to have more pops and more planets gets stale.
A preserve and non-preserve play still feels similar because of the sphinx. I don't really know how you'd use new cleo for anything other then a culture win though. Thoughts?
@@Deshiba The extra food can be turned into more generalized production. For starters you are not going to struggle getting to the next district population quotas on flood plain cities. So if you are going a more standard district build you should easily be able to churn them out passively. It kind of like all your cities become capable of going tall even if you go wide.
Was anyone else taken aback when he said that Buenos Aires increased the range of his factory? Cause for someone who loves that ability so much, I was really expecting him to know that that's Mexico City...
I was also concerned, as Buenos Aires provides a different benefit, "Your bonus resources behave like luxury resources, providing +1 Amenity Amenity per resource."
@@UrsaRyan I so often don't finish games because the conclusion is inevitable by a fairly early point, but long before it's actually over. Some mid-game chaos would keep the stakes high much longer.

I love Stellaris, but I'm the first to admit that it's a very complex game. It's very easy to get overwhelmed with all the systems! Basic resources, advanced resources, rare resources, influence, unity, traditions, ascensions, empire sprawl, fleet power, research (society, engineering, and physics), anomalies, archeological expeditions, colonization... I mean, it all makes sense once you're used to it, but it can be more than a little intimidating for would-be newcomers to the game.
I don't find stellaris more complicated then civ6, humankind, old world or adjacent 4x titles like age of wonders or dune:spice wars. In terms of concepts they all have their own quirks but I wouldn't say stellaris has more of those then civ6. Only thing i can think of is that the genre of space 4x has less representation then earth bound caveman to space race 4x
@@Deshiba I gotta disagree, Stellaris is a much more complex game, at the very least in the engineering sense, if you don't think Civ6 is easier (which I think it is)
@@Filotti99 which part is more complicated exactly? Coming from a space where I hadn't touched 4x untill Age of Wonders: Planetfall I didn't find stellaris any more complicated then civ6 to get into. From a non-4x background civ6 and stellaris seem to have equal amounts of complexity of systems to get acquainted with.
naturalists count as civilian units, so monumentality for the renaissance era would have been the right choice i feel. but wow is it wild to see so many natural yields from tiles. reminds me of forest fires in TSL brazil/russia games
For some reason, I still haven't internalized the fact that military city-states' bonuses count towards civilian units too. I keep thinking it's just military units.
Honestly I forget too, but I'll go one step further and say i also forget to build an encampment in my settler production city from time to time. Dunno sometimes it just feels weird to do so in a "peaceful" civ game.
@@blaubeer8039 I disagree in the sense of more cities means you can have access to more strategics or luxuries. It also helps to combat religious victories and acts as a stepping stone for more trade routes and more great people points from more districts. However, I can agree that some games are not like that and it's more beneficial to build tall than wide. Depends on the civ, the player, and the map.
I was a bit sad for the no park pins anywhere, and the preserve diamonds do make placing parks among them a bit difficult. in this case I would've used the empire lens since the biggest limiter is probably district and city placement, not appeal also: you may have confused buenos aires with mexico city
I put lots of park pins down - I just put them down a few at a time = ) People try and put them in the middle of empires, personally I don't - I like keeping them on the edges so I work the central lands. Just personal preference really
Egypt had a bias for floodplains coded in, there shouldn't be any issues. If you're having unlucky (unholy) rng try the wetlands map type with wet climate. (Personally i've been trying to get egypt to spawn using dry and arid to get a desert wetlands start for lady of the reeds and marches pantheon)
It seems like if a wonder is available for longer than it normally would be, that the AI doesn’t have the tile to build it on so it can be a free wonder like 60% of the time.
I started a normal game of civ 6 and realized at turn 80 that I forgot to turn off my civ 6 blitz civ. They had 300 science and like 12 cities at turn 80. I was like nah im good and started a new game XD
Ursa how do you get the quick sales inabled. Or as you call it, where you trade all your luxury’s for money. I can only trade with the civs and I want to be able for them to buy them instead. If that makes sense
You caught me! I have played neither Civ6 nor Stellaris. (If I play 4x games, I lose track of time, realizing eventually that a month has passed and I am no longer gamefully employed 😅). So, I am grateful to RUclipsrs like Ursa and Lathland who allow me to enjoy the games vicariously. Apologies for the overly snarky comment. I do find Civ6 gameplay easier to follow than Stellaris gameplay, though. Sometimes, watching Lathland play Stellaris does make my head spin a little…
@@isaachilburn5515 Fair enough. When looking at both types of games and comparing their features 1 to 1 both are complicated in their own ways. It's a close shave to see which is more complicated. Maybe the reason civ is easier to follow is that civ uses some mechanics that also exist in board games like catan etc?
@@Deshiba Good point! Civ6’s map is like a giant board game that you can move pieces around on, whereas Stellaris is more like a collection of detailed nodes. Definitely makes for different thinking and gameplay. Civ6 also has a more comprehensible tech-tree. Metal-casting as a tech makes intuitive sense; you can create a mental picture of what that is. Whereas something like Negative Time-keys (to cherry pick something more obtuse) from Stellaris does not have that same familiarity. This is the challenge for all sci-fi / fantasy 4x games, and why I found watching Civ5: Beyond Earth personally less engaging than Civ5 or Civ6.
I like big yields and I cannot lie, you other brothers cant deny, when you plop down a preserve and give the city what it deserves, it gets Plump.
Sir Civ6 a lot!
Harmonists secret society only makes this better.....I have to say not the strongest secret society but a very satisfying one !!!!

A mid-game crisis in Civ would be incredible. It's so early game heavy, it would be great for something random and exciting to happen later on.
Right??? So many things that could happen, it would be amazing!

It's funny to see just how well the -1 appeal on floodplains balances National Parks.

Mid/late game crisis is a great idea! Would definitely spend money on that
Wouldn't it?? Imagine actually having to stop a game because there was an actual world war, or Mongolia Khan rush you needed to stop. Would be so cool

I was always curious what'd happen if the target of a military emergency was razed, today I finally got my answer. Thank you, Ryan.
I help with the questions that very few ask!
Blissful yields, I don't even miss Bullmoose now
I've had issues getting floodplains even on wet maps. I need to try this save for sure
The only other thing Ive found for floodplain spawns is to set the map weather to wet.
Egypt had a bias for floodplains coded in, there shouldn't be any issues.
If you're having unlucky (unholy) rng try the wetlands map type with wet climate.
(Personally i've been trying to get egypt to spawn using dry and arid to get a desert wetlands start for lady of the reeds and marches pantheon)
I think its really stupid that you can't put a preserve in a natural park - they are the same thing!
7:50 wonder if this is where firaxis got the idea for crisises in civ 7 :o
