      In a single game of Heroes III you can have
      >Necropolis raising armies of over 5000 liches every time they win a fight
      >Rampart making more money than every other player in the game off of interest alone
      >Castle circle-resurrecting themselves into immortality
      >Inferno screaming in the corner curled into a ball
      >Conflux spamming suicide bombers with Armageddon's blade, shredding entire armies with almost no losses
      >Dungeon petrifying everyone and laughing while the now immobile enemies are tossed around like Weeping Angels trying to go after the Hulk
      >Tower teleporting around the map to take castles out from behind garrisons just because they can
      >Fortress turning every battle into the running of the bulls, a sport which no-one survives

    I remember one particularly fun Civ 6 game where I decided to try and play an Athens like mentality. I maxed out naval tech and had my military navy oriented, and had my capital city (which I also made sure had high production) on an ocean.
    And then, to top off the industrial zone and a harbor, I got the Venetian Arsenal.
    A full fleet group with an aircraft carrier, destroyers, and a nuclear submarine? Two of those fleets in a few turns.
    Very fun times, I'd make a fleet whenever I encountered hostiles and scrap it when not in use to save on upkeep.

    I actually replicated this a while back when I found out about this exploit and as a whole civilization I was producing 50,000+ faith per turn because I was on a primordial map as Ethiopia, and I had the fire goddess pantheon. Coincidentally I was surrounded by a lot of volcanoes and fissures. I absolutely steamrolled all religions in the game (the other civs were gran Colombia, Norway, Inca, India, Brazil, Spain and the Khmer) I couldn't have rolled a more religious game and this was completely random too! I got a religious victory and at one point I had 50+ apostles on the map on a quest to wipe out Catholicism it was absolutely beautiful nothing could stop me and I felt like God himself. I wasn't satisfied untill every single city in the world was following my religion and that's exactly what I did. 10/10 best waste of several days I've ever had 12/10 would do again.

      5 words: Naval Ranged Double Attack Promotion.
      Double Attack in Civ 5 allows every unit to move after both its first and second attack.
      This doesn't matter too much for most other units, but naval ranged units usually have enough movement to go from one point to the next, shoot, move somewhere else, shoot again, and then escape to safety.
      Yes, getting to that point IS difficult.
      But manage it with enough ships, and enemy fleets and coastal cities are cannon fodder.

      Just so you know, view counts are impossible to be accurate. The server has to notice that view then it has to add that to the view counter, then it has to update the video counter, THEN it has to send the view count to your PC. At any point in this process the number can and will lag out of accuracy
