Oh man, the irony at 1:07 . "No more deserts with tundra 5 tiles away" when there's a desert tile and two tundra tiles touching almost directly. I know it's a tiny map, but still, the irony is strong on this one.
The interesting thing is that tundra and deserts being semi-close to each other does happen irl, so it's not that big a deal when it happens in game, world generation wise. But it is a problem when 87.123% of my spawns are in that area.
@@zedudedaniel True it's annoying when you spawn right between the two, with little normal space for expansion. I do however love to have one or two desert tiles in my capital, because it makes it a lot easier to get the Pyramids. And if I can get a somewhat early 3rd city I love building it in the desert for the Petra, or if that didn't work out, then getting a tundra city ready for St Basil's Cathedral.
I like the historic speed, real strategy, and immersive dialogue mod. In a future mods video, you should consider doing the steel and thunder mod. I’m definitely gonna play that with the historic speed mod now.
Why is it OP? It's kind of the same as going through each AI and ask them how much they're willing to pay for your Luxury Resource. It simply makes it so that you do not waste your time asking each and every civ for that.
@@spyrochrisgaming yeah but it's not feasible to be doing that all the time. You'll know what I mean if you try it. Especially buying and selling diplomatic favor is insane
@@alexandergoot I mean yeah, if it's tedious like in vanilla, you're not doing it all the time. But it's not cheating if you do it all the time and really take your sweet time to get through each turn, optimizing every single little detail.
oh! I have a mod to contribute to this, it's called "Better Recon - Unit" and I think its talent tree is amazing(though the most amazing part is the (all recon units ignore terrain costs) as a passive ability, maybe you could consider checking it out because I personally think it is also a quality of life improvement
One of the reasons I started (and stayed) playing in Marathon mode is that, when I started playing the game as a newbie, I played as Japan. By the time I get Samurais, I'm a few turns away from Musketmen, and then I'm stuck with one or two Samurais that just came out of my Encampments, already obsolete. THAT FUCKIN SUCKS. The game barely stays on any one era long enough IMO. Most of the time you don't get to do much before the game starts the countdown to another new era, and I just wanna get more use out of my uniques before they go obsolete.
I just want you to know that when you look at the Analytics and see that so much of us liked this video 5 mins in, it’s not because it coincidentally happened to be the moment you gave us a reminder to like the video, it’s because we just got done laughing at the wypipo seasoning joke. Sincerely, the singular “we”, Me.
Pro tip If you hate producing scouts get the free scout in the starting mod You will not have to produce scouts if you use that mod (although you only get 1 free mod
One of my favorites: Research Stop Reminder! It works on the latest patch and of course Gathering Storm. What it does is that when you're about to hit that turn of being able to research a Technology or a Civic in 1 turn from "now", if you get the Eureka/Inspiration for it, it'll basically pop up a window of that Tech/Civic, reminding you to change it so that you won't potentially waste any turns, if you're about to get the Eureka/Inspiration for it. Check it out please!
Historic Speed has been a revelation! I am now playing on Deity on a TSL huge earth map and it is so much fun. Currently roleplaying as the Khmer. War gets a little bit intense with gigantic militaries on all sides.
Religion Expanded is a fantastic mod, but it does cause a bug where the AI always votes for double prophet points when it comes up at the World Congress.
More game changing mods I use are: JND's district expansion mods collection,which adds other building per tier. p0kiehl's civilizations expanded, which changes civ and leader abilities. Sailor Cat's Upgraded units keep unique abilities. Example, Roman legion built fort ability sticks with man-at-arms, a musketmans,etc. Wondrous goody nuts, and Good goody nuts. Puts in new rewards like discover new natural wonder, puts random resource in your territory, etc. Mods that replaces Japan electronics factory for dojo and gives Roman fort unique model. Again from JNR. Sukritact's policy manager. Jane's wetlands which allows floodplains on tundra and puts in new resources and new improvements. Few resource mods. Includes Latin America resources, sukritact's resources, resourceful 2(puts in more resources)more strategic resources, luxury resource variety(puts in more strategic or luxury resources, respectively) and resource cultivation, adding farmer and gardener builder units. Former can add bonus resources and horses and latter luxuries that reguire farm, plantation or camp. Also some mods that allow things like sailing, alliances available early. Rush housing with builder, enhance civil infrastructure,and mods that alter look of maps a bit.
Real strategy mod doesn’t work well rn, infixo (mods owner) said it will eventually be updated. Historic speed was replaced by extended eras mod. Civilizations expanded mod is a must try mod imo, makes literally everyone stronger and changes couple of things about the game mechanics. I enjoy this mod quite a lot. I’m not sure if it’s balanced but I’m sure as hell it’s fun. I use over 20 UI mods, 0 gameplay effects but qol is increased significantly. I can’t write them all but infixo’s mods and sukritact’s simple ui are so damn nice.
Grabbing all the building mods and district mods really has made each game unique. Of course I have every resource mod too. I don't do custom civs really. Though the ant one is pretty solid with scout buffing mods. Always a good time. Only mod I havent gotten working yet is the wild animals ones, the pet civs one is cool. I just took maori 4 animals into the Bermuda triangle I spawned on, ended up sending my settler in because where I was going to settle was taken by a city state and I rolled the die. Edit: Fisheries for everyone is a must. Don't leave them locked behind a governor.
I find it kind of hilarious that out of the first 4 mods, Quick Deals is the only one you DIDN'T call a QoL improvement, when it is the only one that is inarguably QoL
I just started a game with the Real Strategy AI mod and the AI didn't get a single great prophet point in the first two eras. Once I realized what was happening, I abandoned the game and I'm never using that mod again.
“No longer are you going to have like desserts and then like 5 tiles away tundra” there’s a dessert literally 1 tile away from tundra on screen my man.
One of my favorite mods is Tomatekh’s Historical Religions. It’s similar to the Unique District Icons mod in that it’s entirely cosmetic; basically, it adds around a hundred different religions, complete with custom icons and the AI choosing their religion. This mod is especially cool if you’re playing a Civ with next to no religious representation in the religion selection, like Native American Civs, who can choose Nahuatl, Inti’ism, etc.
I'm more into quality of life mods like quick deals although it might be nice to try Real Strategy and Historical Speed on a lower difficulty level. "Last prophet" would not be that useful a power in expanded religions mode! I think I'm going to stay away from that one.
"Capture Unique Improvements"*OMG YES*

This is basically life when you're in Alberta...

steel and thunder is fun, and adds a lot of new things into the game
And there's cheater Hamurabi
Quick deals is actually OP as fuck. It gives you so much money for luxuries, and you can exploit diplo favor for insane income

buying and selling diplomatic favor is still bugged to this day. you can buy them for free essentially and I think it's a vanilla game bug
"Extended Policy Cards" and maybe "Better Report Screen (UI)"
I'm pretty sure you need Better Report Screen to be able to use Extended Policy Cards.

in historic speed, Babylon would be super op.
that is true
Extended Map Tracks and Policy Cards!!!!!!
Pro tip

You will not have to produce scouts if you use that mod (although you only get 1 free mod
With quick deals you can lower the gold per turn to raise the upfront gold.
thats a good tip

Best of The best mod: new ICONS for cities… that what I was waiting for.

Please please do a game with historic speed mod, they are so rare in youtube
There are so many cool UI Mods!
Tells us all about the Real Strategy Mod but has not used the Real Strategy Mod?
habrá algun mod para comenzar el juego en la prehistoria?
Customization 6
"This real strategy AI makes changes to the thing." Looks like he hired Joe Biden's speech writer to do his scripts.
lol I just lagged out for a second
wie heisst der mod wo ich die ganzen sachen wie gold kultur riligion etc sehen kann unter den avataren?

unique districts should be captured but unusable and removable because the knowledge isnt theirs to function it and maintain it
So historic time is still like 500turns
instead of "historic speed" I use "Zee's Properly Timed Eras" instead. it's more simple
I'm gonna rock Tomyris with that realistic time mod so hard right now

Ah man thanks for the time stamps!
No problem!
i dont have civ 6 on steam how can i download mods ?
Historical speed and better A.I. is all I need
I'm more into quality of life mods like quick deals although it might be nice to try Real Strategy and Historical Speed on a lower difficulty level.
"Last prophet" would not be that useful a power in expanded religions mode! I think I'm going to stay away from that one.
thats true for Arabia
Historic speed makes the game way too easy.
But hey, does any of those mods disable achievements ?
Nope
I like Simple UI.
that one is pretty good
I dont see a difference.
I think im just too stupid.
I just got into this game and I’m getting my ass kicked bro… can anyone tell me how to take a city
Attack early and forget about the rest of victories. Invest on archers and level them up.
