    - Carl, probably
    Civ5 is a complicated game with many different routes to victory...and also many different routes to failure. But what if we didn't care about any of that? What if we just let the game decide all of our decisions for us?
    Can you beat Civilization 5 with only the advisor suggetsions? Time to find out what.

      First game I won with the achievement "Rocking the Free World". Which you get by getting a culture victory with the "Freedom" civic. I won it by erasing Poland from existence because they didn't like my culture. Also won a culture victory by nuking the one civilization that didn't accept it out of existence. Getting a proper hard culture victory is almost impossible in Civ 5.
      Unless you tun something like the No-Quitters "balance" mod. Which makes hard culture possible, even competitive, in the higher difficulties.

    7:12 "Boat Mormonism" Nice to hear a subtle shoutout to Door Monster 😊
    How did you become so overwhelmingly advanced beyond your neighbors while making such... inspired gameplay decisions?
    Also, did you bend space time to fit so much Civ V into such a short video? Is it tomorrow and I just haven't noticed yet? How many hours did I loose this time? What even is time when compared to the unending, unerring, unescapable one more turn?
    Also also, how did you get the other civs to actually offer you something to make peace with them??? Usually I sweep through their lands, taking any city I fancy, laying waste to their armies and as I watch them start sharpening sticks as a last desperate attempt to fend me off, they sue for peace, demanding half my GDP in gold, a plethora of luxuries and a few of my richest cities just to solidify their imagined dominance. I'll reverse the offer and then dispatch an obligatory "So you have chosen death?" letter when they inevitably decline.

    The purple tiles on the purchase land screen is actually just the tiles that you're about to get through natural border growth. They are just discounted as a result.
    Also contrary to popular belief, city growth can NOT see resources you don't have access too, it just picks the best tile(s) around you that you can currently see to grow into. Mountains and Ice being the worst tiles to expand into.
