I find it really disappointing to see that the Kongo AI is not making use of the Mbanza's at all, cutting down all the rainforests for Farms is not something Kongo is supposed to do. This is yet another disappointing fact about the Civ 6 AI that the AI doesn't seem to be really programmed to make use of their unique buildings and bonuses.
Civ has never been known to have good AI. I mean, just looking at the difficulty levels, where tuning only adjusts AI adcantages/cheats, and not the AI behavior, should be an indicator of where their priorities lie when making a game. Proper AI takes a tonne of time and effort (money) to make, and it seems that the people behind Civ are happy with it just being semi functional so they avoid bad ratings. The developers make these same AI only battle to fine tune them, so to me it seems they just try to program certain patterns and then they consider it a done deal.
Cape Town equivalent city in South Africa, or Liverpool England looks safe and pretty with the harbour and cultural influence of the Hermitage wonder, beautiful btw :)
So far the only civilizations to conquer any cities are Germany conquering France's Bordeaux, Rome conquering Greece's Olympia, and the Aztecs conquering both La Venta and Norway's Sarpsborg.
Hey Drew! Love the videos, I would like to make a couple AI battle suggestions that I think would work. TSL Europe only (duh!) TSL Europe with the Atlantic (for colonialism) Or, a game I've actually played and enjoyed a ton... A TSL Earth with all Civs MINUS: America Brazil Aztec Congo Sort of creating a "Colonial Empire" environment. I've actually played a game as England on a map with those settings and it becomes a TON of fun.
I would live in Jabalpur in South america, if you see off the coast there are shipwrecks which would be awesome for sea diving, also the view from he coast would be excellent!
America & England Vs. Congo & Norway, with Spain being invaded by both England & the Congo, niice, pretty much WWI ig, shame it might've ruined England's invasion of Spain.
Anyway you could ad a little balance by maybe putting in two congos, Brazil's, and or aztecs? Or if maybe can the tightly packed civs get put on easier difficulty? I'm imagining like if Europe got 3 setters each but the Congo gets 1 as they have easier access to great cities. Just a thought.
I definitley would not want to live in Aztec territory, considering how brutal they were and how advanced they are in this universe compared to our actual universe. My choice would be Brazil honestly. They're up there in terms of leaderboards. And like you said, they're friendly. They've sort of tried to be passive (but the Aztecs were aggressive towards them)
The Spectral King France may not have an advanced army but they can fend themselves, and Paris is in a strategically good position to visit any other cities
Drew please please please do another civ v ai only battle until civ vi becomes better. Maybe when the mod lets you run deity or more moded civs come out!
Kongo, I'd want to live anywhere in the Kongo. The most prosperous, peaceful and advanced nation in the game. Couldn't ask for a better Civ. Also, I would choose Kongo as winner.
I would want to live in South Africa in the Kongo Empire, that city looks amazing, otherwise probably Brazil's capital, cuz they are so friendly with everyone else so let's me live safely
Prolly the Kongo, I would go for my boy Teddy but his land looks like shit rn, he had so much potential! Either way, I'm down with being a Kongo farmer, Stardew valley in this b
NegativeSquad they've basically been given a large amount of territory though, this would probably be better with Balanced start locations on map generator
Personally I think African civs are WAY too overpowered, which doesn't just make it a lot less fun but is also extremely unrealistic. Same goes for South America - a great power ALWAYS comes out there! Maybe the terrain in Africa should just be complete garbage - that might make it more realistic.
The problem of South America and Africa in the real world that has hampered its growth has always been corrupt government and European exploitation in these territories, Civilization 6 only shows how the world would be different if everyone had their own land til unexplored and everyone cared only with the growth of their own nation.
I disagree, Africa *IS* rich, so yes it should remain the way it is. Personally, I like seeing larger powers develop on their own. However with the current Civs a TSL Earth game might be boring. Now, a TSL Europe... I think has a LOT of potential to be a LOT of fun.
I would not live in a city, I would join the ever-travling Chinese pilgrimage
Same
I would join you brother/sister of the Dow
For those who saw my comment last time. Thank fuck England it was about time.
I think we've all been expecting it.

I would live in that southern Kongo city--I think it's called Mbanza-Mpango.
This is a nice little comertial hub.
points at an entertainment complex
MAY THE CRACK BE WITH YOU
Random Commenter Person and also with you

In Afghanistan you would probably have to be a soldier
Hannes Neutze they have a small army
Barracko Taco or compared to their population
Darn it Drew! England just began attacking Madrid at the end.
I would love to live in Nagano the Japanese city off of California
Me too
Yeah, that seems like a nice place to me too.
MrDirtBaggins yeah
For some reason I hate it when Drew calls Victoria "Vicky".
Drew needs to do a game where he builds as many wonders as he can.
I love that Summerian war cart, off in Tibet. It make me think of like a really over-the-top Medieval Times troupe.
You taught me something about this game with this series, i didn't notice the borders changed when you had open borders.
The AI is definitely more aggressive with domination only.
Brazil looks comfy and secure, I'd live there
Cape Town equivalent city in South Africa, or Liverpool England looks safe and pretty with the harbour and cultural influence of the Hermitage wonder, beautiful btw :)

this episode Egypt conquered Arabia's Aleppo also.

A TSL Earth with all Civs MINUS:
America
Brazil
Aztec
Congo

Japan has a scout army
I would live in Jabalpur in South america, if you see off the coast there are shipwrecks which would be awesome for sea diving, also the view from he coast would be excellent!
The* coast.
Oh, so who wants to live in a Norwegian( idk if spelled right) Florida?
they really need to make the barbs that pop up from unhappiness, unable to attack other civs, they always end up helping out the civ thats under siege
I remember that sneaky science victory lolol it was by the Philippines, the broken mod
Dont end it now, its only just began!
complains about nobody settling mongolia
proceeds to complain about England, saying that there’s no place to settle
I think if you enable all victory types you will at least stand a chance at seeing a clear winner instead of people just voting for their favourites.
I'd live in Poland. They may be small, but the have the encampments to get an army out almost immediately on any front but the Germanic one
America & England Vs. Congo & Norway, with Spain being invaded by both England & the Congo, niice, pretty much WWI ig, shame it might've ruined England's invasion of Spain.
Anyway you could ad a little balance by maybe putting in two congos, Brazil's, and or aztecs? Or if maybe can the tightly packed civs get put on easier difficulty? I'm imagining like if Europe got 3 setters each but the Congo gets 1 as they have easier access to great cities. Just a thought.
I whold like to live in Baltimore, becouse it ideal for my hate of hot and humans.
I definitley would not want to live in Aztec territory, considering how brutal they were and how advanced they are in this universe compared to our actual universe.
My choice would be Brazil honestly. They're up there in terms of leaderboards. And like you said, they're friendly. They've sort of tried to be passive (but the Aztecs were aggressive towards them)
Hey Drew! Would you consider streaming your gameplay on twitch.tv ? I'm very curious about this.Pls answer #number1fan
I'd love to live in London or Rio de Janeiro.
I'd live in that southern Kongo city, the one with the Sydney Opera House.
Râ-Kadet in the Egyptian Empire, or London in England, or Paris in France, or St. Petersburg in Russia
Andrew Gerges why Paris? Because you would immediately take over with a single pistol once you got it?
The Spectral King France may not have an advanced army but they can fend themselves, and Paris is in a strategically good position to visit any other cities
Whatever city has the most wonders
My top 3 are:
1.Aztects
2.Kongo
3.Brazil
The Prince AI is so bad. I can't wait for Deity AI only
ogi nedew The actual AI behavior is the same on all difficulties. The higher levels just get a bunch of bonuses.
Yes and it's easier for them to take over cities. That is what makes it more interesting.
They grow fater and it's go to war faster.
Drew please please please do another civ v ai only battle until civ vi becomes better. Maybe when the mod lets you run deity or more moded civs come out!
I would live Montpellier, England. I hope it becomes French rule, but it looks nice there.
I'd live in Mbanza Mpangu. It looks amazing.
I would love to live in Rio, as the Brazilians are friendly with almost everyone, traveling around being a Brazilian would not be difficult xD
Kongo, I'd want to live anywhere in the Kongo. The most prosperous, peaceful and advanced nation in the game. Couldn't ask for a better Civ. Also, I would choose Kongo as winner.

Hehe sendo brasileiros ia ser bem fácil viajar por aí, eles são tão amigos do resto do mundo que quase todos tem fronteiras abertas com ele '-'

jean beneta usa in Civ 6 is not that strong as it has no army therefore it could be easily taken.
I'd live in Delhi, Capital of India
kongo has to conquer if he wants to be in the race. can't just vote in pacifist civs that'd be boring
NegativeSquad they've basically been given a large amount of territory though, this would probably be better with Balanced start locations on map generator
+NegativeSquad Germany took one from France in like part 1
Egypt, Rome & the Aztecs are the civs that have taken a city so far
The Lord Saves sorry I don't speak Christian

Maybe the terrain in Africa should just be complete garbage - that might make it more realistic.
Gmeister the main problem is that african and south american civs get way too little competition in this map
Juho Pekkala Yeah, that too is a huge problem. Maybe Drew should do vanilla games but include loads of mods in Africa just to balance things out.
Gmeister yea because the three best civs all have a huge amount of land what they can just take which gives them a ton of cities and science
