this was my 24th..25 try? of this challenge - SO GIVE ME A BREAK THAT I MADE IT A LITTLE EASIER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONES OK. the previous attempts i wasn't using any game modes, and then as i kept failing and failing i added more games modes until i just used secret societies, monopolies, and barbs. ANYWAYS i hope you all enjoy this - I DESERVE THE WONDER START OK. OK?
Honestly, Yongle is a serious contender for my favorite leader in Civ 6 now. Not only is Lijia insane, but Dynastic Cycle is nice and the Great Wall is super fun to play with. Crouching Tigers are also there, I guess.
Honestly, I find Crouching Tigers to be a pretty big nerf to the civilization. I've tried to go to war with them, and it sucks so much to not have some 2 range support behind your troops.
@@Jotthew55 You do. Crouching tigers are meant to be used defensively along with great walls. None of the China leaders are really meant to be domination civs.
@@Grivehn Why are you bringing Chad into this. Mali was never able to capture it. They just took Auckland and was upset due to the Yongle's over-reaction.😉

i think u were my new favourite civ 6 youtuber. the way u packaging the gameplay, and your playful personality like always quoting sean bean 😂, mimicking the builder sound, makes the video more enjoyable. I've been suggesting civ 6 to all of my friends but they always said it's stress them out, managing etc. but u can make it like just playing a fun regular game with your uniqe personality. keep doing what u do, greetings from Indonesia.
You don’t have to limit yourself to 6-7 cities even if you go Audience Chamber. Audience Chamber just means you get 6 “Super City’s” I use the bonus housing and Amenities and bounce Victor around ne cities to get them started and try to build good Reyna/Liang/Pingala/Moksha permanent homes. Or late game if you’ve maxed Reyna/Moksha use their district purchasing ability instead of Victor. It is amazing for Yongle
Hey Boes I just released a mod "Newer Frontier Pass" on the workshop, to better balance Secret Societies, Heroes, and the rest of the New Frontier Pass.
Great video, Japan is good for one city challenge as well. That extra adjacency bonus adds up fast. Cheaper holy site and theater square is a nice little bonus also
Yongle is the only S+ leader. I know this because for years I have been trying to win on diety without any mods. I was only able to do this with Yongle. I also don't exploit and I feel like with most leaders you have to coin flip a god tier start or exploit to win on the hardest difficulty without mods.
You guys DO NOT understand. It was most canonically peaceful CIV run. There is special maximum level of peacefulness - Mahatma Gandhi, and it is executed note by note. Well done!
Am I the only one that sends envoys to literally every city state as fast as possible? Like, I'd be shocked to see more than a couple 0s on the envoy screen. I just abuse the hell out of diplomatic league and never have less than one or two envoys in ever city state. I don't know if it's the difficulty(i usually play on 5 or 6), or the difficulty of the challenge, but I'm impressed with how they were able to resist the urge to just spread those envoys around everywhere.
yeah i'm generally going for specific City-States because of the bonuses they give. Additionally if I can, I try to save my 1st envoy sent to a City-state until I can utilize the Diplomatic League policy card before sending the envoy~
Wow you can get that steam achievement without having to nuke your own city? I remember making fun of myself for making a 7 wonder city just to nuke it xD
you're actually correct! i was under the assumption it would be additional production, but it's just a modifier to increase the project by 20% production so it doesnt matter!
@@boesthius there's a fantastic interview with him out there. He claimed he was "influenced by the juice of the red grape". There was also a company that asked to use his likeness on their bottle of "Get your hands off my Pinot Noir!" Wonderful bloke. I'd love to have a succulent Chinese meal with him followed by some Judo. ❤️
Can you kindly re-upload this video? the total religions founded graph is not present - thank you Kidding, this was a joy to watch the nukes were the icing of the cake lol another impressive challenge by our number 1 civ6 himbo. Looking forward to seeing you play with the new waifu

Pretty please can we get the turn 1 save? I'm actually super interested to try this myself
Ok......
@@NosirrathOfficial yeah i'll upload it to discord!

Come on Dave half way there!
Who could’ve known that only spamming projects could Lijia to victory?
i hate this
You have to look beyong le instinct to dislike puns
@@siwentkiwwer9021 hahahahaha you dont miss
top comment!
Normally when I say lol, i don’t mean it, but this made me audibly guffaw.
Thousands hours in the game and I see countering nuclear missile for the first time in my life
I’ve been playing the game for years and I didn’t know it could do that
@@mrdrprofsteve4455 you should try online then. Nuclear warhead protection is 100% main strategy in late game every match
Calling Sergei Korolev Robert Goddard every single time was some next level civ himbo vision. GG on an awesome challenge Boes you mad lad
LMAO oops yeah im idiot
Good catch, I do not know the Engineers that well to question. LOL
"Do it for Dave" is the most entertaining plea for subscribers I've seen. I still watch it every time.

@josephdouglas5242 You do still get to keep crossbowmen though. Unless its different outside of gathering storm
@@Jotthew55 You do. Crouching tigers are meant to be used defensively along with great walls. None of the China leaders are really meant to be domination civs.
@@Jotthew55 hmm, either I had a mod that changed it, or archers upgrade into Crouching Tigers and I never bothered to hard build a new crossbowman.
Yongle, after unleashing the horrors of nuclear war: "Haha, what a funny story, Mali!"
Nuking the other nations as you go into space as a farewell gift is a real chad move.
@@Grivehn Why are you bringing Chad into this. Mali was never able to capture it. They just took Auckland and was upset due to the Yongle's over-reaction.😉

Ain't no way Boes actually did the city project only challenge. Absolute mad lad
unless?

fellow indonesian civ player! i understand your struggle, none of my friend play civ even though i always tell them how awesome the game is.
Dave is the one true bro. And by supporting Dave’s interests, I improved at civ 6 a lot. Thank you Dave!!!
Just to imagine the amount of pain in this run, made me cringe, feel dread but most of all...
I feel like a live Y O N G L E.
Thank you, Boes.
"This is a peaceful game"
Proceeeds to nuke the world because Mansa boi conquered Auckland, and then razed it becuase he was no longer suz ahaha
they deserved it
Not even a dog would want a broken toy back.
I'd be interested in seeing a 6/7 city challenge, something to showcase tall play and the audience chamber without being as extreme as OCC.
if you havent started watching Potato's newest Qin series that's doing a decent job of that!
@@boesthius But I believe Yongle has the upper hand in the ultimate TALL build. We call the the Yongle - Tall combo.

This was an experience, glad Dave could make an appearance!
When you said “here it comes” after launching that nuke all I could think was “here comes the sun, do-do-do-do”
Sie ist der schönste Stern von allen.
@@InuyashaHanyu Indeed my friend, indeed
very peaceful run. also, Dave made it, so I know it's really peaceful 😆
“Democracy manifest” fits perfectly, cuz the man was eating a succulent Chinese meal😄
10:45
ZETSUBOUSHITAAA
This boat sinking world has left me in despair
i need to rewatch it, it's been so long
This is actually the first time i've seen an AI shoot down a nuke
ive seen it before but that was a hyper late game during a score victory attempt haha
Cool, the devs shouted you out on the livestream! You've arrived! :D
i saw that!
One of my friends who doesn’t play civ 6 a lot thought we said eras tour instead of era score and now we always call it that
sid meier confirmed swiftie
That thumbnail is just like Radiohead's the Bends album art
leave me high and dry
i literally opened youtube wondering if this video had been posted yet. i am so excited for these goofy challenges
Boes: Peaceful challenge.
Also Boes: BOOOOOM!!!!
"Kinda 50:50" is the whole identity of the community at this point.
"I've never done that!"
Yeah Boes, that's why you got the achievement bro. if you did it before you would have already had it.
shhhhh

Nuke the planet
Refuse to elaborate
Leave the solar system
Recently got into Civ. Came across your content and I've been binging. Well played Boes.
I'm extremely disappointed no one has commented on that beautiful The Room-reference, so now I have to. Well done!
Been watching RUclips for more than a decade now and i ve seen a fair share of subscribe please schemes from giveaways to insults but Dave is the best
I lost it when he killed his own spies with the warhead. "Whoops, sorry spies."
The other extraordinarily small advantage to diamond industry vs amber industry is the .5 housing you lose by making it an industry.
rip my housing get rekt boes
Live Yongle Reaction
Dave was working all the projects
If Boes can't have Auckland, no one can 🔪🔪🔪
Yongle moment
YONGLE
Yongle is the only S+ leader. I know this because for years I have been trying to win on diety without any mods. I was only able to do this with Yongle. I also don't exploit and I feel like with most leaders you have to coin flip a god tier start or exploit to win on the hardest difficulty without mods.
"I wanna get into chemistry as fast as possible" said no one, ever, in real life.
- How broken you want Yongle be?
- one city lijia only and still dope
Glad you got there in the end
Yongle my beloved,,,
y o n g l e
Now Potato must do this. If you have done it, Potato must do it as well
Potato..you Irish bastard... you won't escape this one.
Epic dude. Worth the wait.
I love Yongle, its way more fun to run 1 god city than 10 little shit ones.
And then, he became Ming, the Merciless.
You guys DO NOT understand. It was most canonically peaceful CIV run.
There is special maximum level of peacefulness - Mahatma Gandhi, and it is executed note by note. Well done!
YOLO!
Yongle only live once!
My prediction: this will be a religion game, I've considered it myself
ah, good ol boes "peace"
I wanted to avoid this you know

I really love your recent style of content
1 city science victory is like a wakanda simulator
Oracle and Grants would've done some real work
HES UNSTOPPABLE
Congrats Boes ❤️
Ngl... p.o.c.l.p.o.c.w.y sounds like some Polish word :D
lol you sounded identical to Sam when you said "for Frodo"
Lands on moon before ballistics. That tracks. GGWP
it is known
BOES VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big fan Boes, keep up the good work!!
Wow you can get that steam achievement without having to nuke your own city? I remember making fun of myself for making a 7 wonder city just to nuke it xD
Does Hong Kong give any real bonus here? Considering the projects are being continuously run, what's the benefit of added production to them?
you're actually correct! i was under the assumption it would be additional production, but it's just a modifier to increase the project by 20% production so it doesnt matter!
the nuclear achievement won me over. do it for dave!
This strategy should be called the giga city state challenge
I'm wondering how viable/challenging would it be to run full Faith projects paired with Voidsingers 20% convertion
yeah thats a great question actually
Well the next challengehas got be getting all great people with Sundiata's Mali, obviously
how the hell did you get 600 science on one city what
YONGLE
but also Geneva + Kilwa + International Space Agency + Oxford = stupid dumb yields
@@boesthius ahh, I was missing kilwa and mausoleum, I was only able to hit like 300 in a normal occ, very nice work
Ahhh man I was howling @
This, is, democracy manifest.

Huh, and here is me trying to win one city challange as him with no limits but no game modes and failing a few times already.
44:12 u could nuke 3 cities at once 😢
the inefficiency...
@@boesthius if u still have that save pls make a short with nuking 3 cities at once🥺
Lija? I hardly know'er!
...Goddamn, I keep watching your content.
Fine. I will subscribe. For the David.
FOR DAVE
I would sub twice if i could, you're the best
I didn't know this challenge was so easy. Lol.
I ended up making it easier than it was before by adding game modes and tilting the map in my favor a bit
@@boesthius that was a joke:)
Hey, man; it's ok to rig it a little. I won't tell anyone.
Finally another torture Video. :D
It's only peaceful
Get nam flashbacks to the millions dead in nuclear hell fire
40:50 wait, wait, wait. I have almost 700 hours in this game and you're telling me units can intercept nukes?! Can someone verify?
Yup! It's only specific units - destroyers and GDRs
That's so cool! Thanks! The unit in the vid looks a bit more like a missile cruiser to me so could it be that instead of destroyers?
Can you kindly re-upload this video? the total religions founded graph is not present - thank you
Kidding, this was a joy to watch the nukes were the icing of the cake lol another impressive challenge by our number 1 civ6 himbo. Looking forward to seeing you play with the new waifu
RIP THE RUN IS OVER, HAVE TO REDO IT
MC Young luh on da beat
Boesthius for the love of Sid, it's Robert Gaw-derd like Howard, not Guh-Dard like Godot. Otherwise amazing job at winning with Yongle OCC!
Big brain moves
I did. it for Dave❤❤
37:53 Robert who? It is Sergey Korolev
18 city-states (No Militaristic.Religious or Trade ones) with 6 players? On archipelago? Aight buddy
oh no i didn't play a game to your exact vanilla standards what ever shall i do
The best part of this video is when Boes said "It's yongle time" and yongled all over them.
Made me thirst for crappy American lager...
9/10 didn't nuke the lake
I stand with dave!
Yongle?
More long, Long-ye.
That's not really a joke, I just can't pronounce his name.
well hey boes yong time no see
surprised no neighborhoods
Peaceful Yonge
I LOVE YOU DAVE!!
Great content!
HOLY thank youuuuu !
Dave the great
