Love seeing these, but what if you had a decent start but a terrible mid-game? Could that be more difficult because you lose tempo? Maybe something like a challenge like this with dramatic ages? But seriously, all of your challenges are very impressive and your storytelling is on point. Keep on civing.
That's a great suggestion! I've thought about giving the AI additional bonuses in the mid game, but I do like the idea of a mod which reduces production, science, or whatever as you go along.
11:34 I’ve seen this before, I was conquering Brazil when I found out that their capital was a free city and undefended. Just took it and moved on to Khmer
I always enjoy your insanely difficult starts and things, but I have to say kudos for the Ursa Ryan civ. You've created a thing of beauty and joy. Well done, sir, well done.
as a Civ player who skipped 6 entirely, denounced it and stuck to playing civ5 exclusively, ngl seeing some of the gameplay in this vid was really making me feel like I missed out on an entire great experience of my life... until 4:56 that is. GOOD LORD WHY ARE THOSE GOVERNORS SO UGLY???
That would of made more sense, well, except for the ice part. My original idea was to say that the Abe has been cryogenically frozen all these years and is now back... for revenge.
A lot of interesting and sometimes "surprising" cuts in this video. You are a master player of this game but here you had to have all the luck in the world to see a winning screen in the end.
idea: play with the buffs the AI gets on diety against prince difficulty AI. The caveat is that all the AIs are on the same team and have max level alliances with each other. I don't know how tricky that last part would be to make work, but the idea is that its like a horde mode
If you never want to be ransacked by barbarian galleys over and over ever again (or just hate barbarian ships in general like I do) then you should check out the mod that I made called “no naval barbs”!
How about you do a challenge where you're not allowed to build any districts at all in your cities? (and if you capture any city not build any buildings in their districts). Or if you want to go really crazy: an islands map where you're only allowed to settle on 1-tile-islands?
do you have a deity guide ? would love to see your strats as when i play deity specifically (unmodded) and have an army that will invade a weak city within the next turn the ai suddenly has units that are eras ahead and builds a wall in 2 turns defying all physics and logic
I do not. I do have some livestreams where I did some challenges where I go into more depth, like the surrounded 2.0 livestream. I do plan on doing some more livestreams in the future where I explain things in more detail.
And you get GDR in 1850 with only 300 science??? Nah there is something up with that. It is not possible to get GDRs that early with that small amount of science.
How the heck does the Ai only have 129 science by the medieval era on DEITY?? When I play Emperor the AI sometimes has over 300 science by the Classical Era! Maybe it's just you haven't discovered the leading Ai yet? Still...very lucky!
Does the author have a Steam account? I would like to read the manual on creating maps in Civilization 6, with the starting places and how to save and use these same maps!
I've done so many challenges these days that they are all somewhat derivative. But I do try to get different victory conditions or try out different techniques in each one.
Really? Hmmmmm that is interesting. Did they go to Texas to learn how to make chili? Or was it originally just a meat sauce or something really close to chili that they put on top of noodles?
@@InquisitiveOtter I watched that video too man. You playing as kupe right? And I keep failing to win a domination Victory as alexandria even with many videos. I will keep trying my best and just try to learn from my mistakes
Makes you wonder where the hell you got the wood to build those ships
Ha!! That’s a great point.
They are made of ice
@@joofbing You joke, but there was a project from Britain in ww2 to build an aircraft carrier out of ice.
@@hueanao ice AND sawdust
@@hueanao not ice-pykrete
2nd city on turn 69? That's what a normal game of civ looks like for me sometimes lol
Otter cooks crepes > Gilgamesh cooks crepes
Talk about a masochist start!
Hmm America invading Vietnam, sounds familiar.
the AI didn’t stand a chance against Lincoln’s abe-ilities
Ngl I love the dramatics of the whole beginning 😆
Me too

Maybe you have to get dramatic dark age in medieval to industrial so that you have to do as well as you can in ancient and classical?
That's a great suggestion! I've thought about giving the AI additional bonuses in the mid game, but I do like the idea of a mod which reduces production, science, or whatever as you go along.
@@InquisitiveOtter Or even a challenge where you have to SHIFT+ENTER x turns after reaching the midgame.
good start, but dark ages only?
11:34 I’ve seen this before, I was conquering Brazil when I found out that their capital was a free city and undefended. Just took it and moved on to Khmer
Wow this is probably the closest space race I’ve seen 🎉
For sure! I was very surprised when they actually launched the exoplanet expedition around the same turn that I did
Otter is the true civ GOAT
I don't know about that, but I do love some hard challenges!
never didn't have it
I always enjoy your insanely difficult starts and things, but I have to say kudos for the Ursa Ryan civ. You've created a thing of beauty and joy. Well done, sir, well done.
Thanks! It was a fun project for such a great person.

It’s not the prettiest civ, but the gameplay and music is top notch
yeah and now civ5 is unplayable on steam, thanks a lot 2k
@@dxvt Did removing the 2k launcher break the game?
@@AJCherenkov What happened to the launcher?
@ 2k removed the 2k launcher from all their games. So if you open something like xcom 2 or mafia 3, it goes straight into the game.
umm those guys building the pyramids in a dust storm need a dang union
For sure! I didn't even give them dust masks.
Fantastic video, loved the story you made, I was super into it! Going to watch more of your videos now!
Your videos are great! I would love to see the whole game if you ever think about uploading them here or on a separate channel.
Thanks! I am planning on trying out some more live narration games with the new leaders in 2023.
Yeessss more inq otter content just in time for Christmas!
i’m more impressed he got Pyramids so late
me too, actually. I also got a really nice Temple of Artemis, but that wonder is usually available late in deity.
This new mod to Frostpunk seems really good!
Man who flew to another galaxy just to run away from that iceberg he used to live in
We need more ice!
very entertaining, hope we see more content like it in the future. love the videos!!!
Thanks!
lmao my brain is so messed up that I assumed this was a Japan game led by Shinzo Abe???
That would of made more sense, well, except for the ice part. My original idea was to say that the Abe has been cryogenically frozen all these years and is now back... for revenge.
A wonderful Christmas gift... new IO content!
A lot of interesting and sometimes "surprising" cuts in this video. You are a master player of this game but here you had to have all the luck in the world to see a winning screen in the end.
To be honest, I really want to watch Gilgamesh cooks crêpes

Interesting! I don't think that would be too hard of a mod to make.
The rubberbanding was insane
If you never want to be ransacked by barbarian galleys over and over ever again (or just hate barbarian ships in general like I do) then you should check out the mod that I made called “no naval barbs”!
I'll have to check it out!
Well, you have fresh water...
Civ content we deserve
I could not cope with this level of grind 😂
i dont why i find it so relaxing to watch this ahaha
Secret societies is so broken with yields like that on 1 tile
*slow clap* that was truly epic. Again.
Thanks!
I'm kinda new to civ and I had no idea that I could do 95% of the things you did lol
turn 210 pyramids is insane
Sid Meier's Space Eskimo Electric Boogaloo Simulator! 👍👍👌👌
How about you do a challenge where you're not allowed to build any districts at all in your cities? (and if you capture any city not build any buildings in their districts).
Or if you want to go really crazy: an islands map where you're only allowed to settle on 1-tile-islands?
Had on had on. How do the barb galleys go on ocean tiles? My mind is blown
they’re actually coastal tiles. I was confused too and don’t know why they look like ocean tiles.
How on earth was pyramids not gone?? Great video :)
do you have a deity guide ? would love to see your strats as when i play deity specifically (unmodded) and have an army that will invade a weak city within the next turn the ai suddenly has units that are eras ahead and builds a wall in 2 turns defying all physics and logic

Hey,
What speed do you play on?
Standard
@@InquisitiveOtter Many thanks. :)
Awesome race to the end!
Holy shit that was nuts. Thank your for this
Thanks! I’m glad that you enjoyed it!
What's the mod that lets you see the amenities, production, and housing in your toolbar!!!!
It's called: Top Panel Extension by HktkNban. I just added it to my general collection of mods link in the description of this video.
@@InquisitiveOtter thank youuuuu!!
I don't know why you didn't want to do this as a one-city challenge. 😂
Ha!!! Maybe next time
This style of video is so good
Thanks!
first thing america does after meeting the outside world is to fight with Vietnam, ah
How the heck does the Ai only have 129 science by the medieval era on DEITY?? When I play Emperor the AI sometimes has over 300 science by the Classical Era! Maybe it's just you haven't discovered the leading Ai yet? Still...very lucky!
OMG. Great victory.
Thanks!
Does the author have a Steam account? I would like to read the manual on creating maps in Civilization 6, with the starting places and how to save and use these same maps!
I do, but discord is easier. I go over how to set spawn locations during my surrounded 2.0 livestream.
What a dramatic game it was!
Almost seems like Otter was inspired by AA's narrating(commentating?) style.
AA?
@@InquisitiveOtter Ambiguous Amphibian, another RUclipsr :) great videos btw, found your channel recently.
Nice video 👍
Thanks!
you need a game where you play as the barbs you can do that by using some dev tools that come with the game and reaload as the barbs
I've thought about this! That would be really fun
Still wondering what happened to Rome. Also this was a really engaging video to watch.
Thanks!
another great challenge video.
Thanks!
Isn't this just more of 'turn 150 start'?
I've done so many challenges these days that they are all somewhat derivative. But I do try to get different victory conditions or try out different techniques in each one.
@@InquisitiveOtter what about achievements? Have you done them all?
Why don't you upload much anymore:(
Awww shit here we go again
Pretty much... it's a yearly tradition now
Why would I want to live in a world where Gilgamesh has less subs than you?
I wish you uploaded more often tbh
Me too.
Great early game narrative of what I can only imagine was a pretty boring start lol
Thanks! And yeah, the first 50 turns or so is very boring.
Cincinnati Chilli is actually an import from greek immigrants.
Really? Hmmmmm that is interesting. Did they go to Texas to learn how to make chili? Or was it originally just a meat sauce or something really close to chili that they put on top of noodles?
How... How... I can't even beat deity
You should check out my turn 150 start video.
