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 😉)
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!
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.
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).
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'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.
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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
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!
the memes generated by this gameplay video: Potato McNecromancy Orthodox Byzantium converting zombie cities : That's one way to prove the afterlife No buildings, infrastructure or farms because your people are zombies: free real estate No range attack zombies solution: have a one-time special range attack charge -> the zombie actually throws his brains at the target -> resets, becomes a free unit ( because no brains you dont control it anymore)-> convert the zombie again to your side-> repeat, profit Potato saying: "Let chaos envelop your entire world" with a villain voice - > priceless
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!!!
I never knew I wanted civilization without the civilization until now.. I wonder if there’s a pure strategy turn based war game with no city building.. actually makes me want to try this challenge because it looks fun as hell.
The battle Royal mode is what your looking for. You get modern tech units, and must defend your settlers while the hexes close. And all the “civs” have unique abilities such as being able to build traps or…well…zombies.
There should be an option to build a graveyard. The graveyard should let you build zombie units. They could require a unique resource (bodies). You gain one body any time you kill a unit. Maybe it could be a benefit of the Sanguine Pact. I'd also like to see a no city mod where you could have moveable 'camps' that could manufacture things... think of hordes of barbarians who raise an area and then move on, maybe converting a portion of captured enemy cities to units.
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...."
When you are roleplaying as Ainz Ooal Gown. We need a Necromancer Coven to go with Hermetic, Sanguine, etc, that is only available with the Zombie Horde.
How easy and amazing could it be to convert civ 6 game mechanics into a zombie vs living survival TBS. The secret societies could be "virus/walking dead/hivemind" you'd only be allowed one city "ground zero" and the more carnage you inflict the faster you ramp up powerful mutations "tech" it'd be fuckin sweet
The trick you used with builders works with all non-combat units i believe. I used to use missionaries as city-garrison disablers more so than religion spreaders.
No need to be civilised and waste carnage time with buildings, improvements or wonders....eat all the barbarian brains, then spread war, chaos, and a plague of unstoppable mutant spuddies to infect and pillage everything for the win. Excellent domination rampage Lord Zombie McWhiskey! 🥳

Yeah it was pretty hilarious
I like how you're basically the white walkers, and the AI are the various houses who need to ally up and tech like crazy to fight back your hordes
I feel like it would have been in the spirit of this challenge to use Heroes and Legends and make the only unit you can "produce" be the twins
31:47 you don't understand how much the reference melts my heart
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.
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!
22:33 "London calling to the zombies of death

For me, I think the best part was how much fun you were having while doing this challenge.
10/10 video
45:03 "it's not the end of the world"
said the zombie master
The missionary dialog scene had me DEAD! XD
I said this when the Rulers of China's Abilities were first Released, and I'll say it again:
~Unifier... GREATEST ABILITY EVER!!!
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

He meant to say god of the forge, judging by what he said it did
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
This is the most fun I've heard you have in a long time, this was hilarious.
Potato cosplaying Gorst
16:27 i remembered an anime called ReZero
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.
I love how these games are super inconsistent to start, but once you got enough zombie boys you are unstoppable.
41:25
You can actually pin-point the moment the super-villainy takes hold of his mind
Byzantine missionary: "so... Have you heard of our Lord and Savior, resurrected from death?"
Zombie hordes: "... And what's new about that?"
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!
Potato laughing like this is amazing and so so precious 🥹
This map would make a great religion run with all those religous city states and your start with the wonder and jerusalem
45:42 Potato "I'll trade a dead zombie for an alive zombie"
Me : Seems fair
the memes generated by this gameplay video:

No buildings, infrastructure or farms because your people are zombies: free real estate

"It's against the law and I'm not a criminal. I follow the law. I play by the rules. Mostly. Sometimes. Usually. When convenient."

That was fun, broken but fun.
yes more challenges and whacky concepts
"I follow the rules" as he clicks the button that breaks the 'only three city captures per enemy civ' rule.
That rule was not in my game, I never referenced that rule
15:25 until 16:04 : classic potato!
Gotta give this one a try, that was great and looked really fun.
The maniacal laughter at 41:25 is how I imagine the leader of your civilization would actually laugh.
You raised an army of monsters... Awesome.
