Hi guys. The new balance patch is out with a lot of interesting changes, so I decided to make a new game. This time I will play a total random game, random map and civ. I also make a lets play on Youtube instead of doing the Photojournal because I find it very time consuming to do all the write up and my English is bad. Since my English is bad, I will not make any commentary. I hope you guys like Lindsey Stirling :D.
Here's the first part. I will try to make one part a day.
 
I don't like having venice either, whats wrong with Mongolia on diety?
 
"Video shows content from WMG, who have blocked it in my country."
 
Part 2 re-uploaded. It should work now. The vid has weird colour because I have to edit sound, and I totally have no idea about editing stuffs :)....
- Hot fix applied
- FPS fixed
Im about to found my religion, which beliefs should I pick?

Part 3 is up. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Funny thing is I rolled Aztec, one of the stronger civs that I normally avoid playing. In this let's play Im gonna try the combo Veneration + Zealotry with Aztec. It sounds pretty strong on paper, we will see how it go.
Here is part 3:

 
Is this really Deity? Turn 130 Arabia has Warriors and Archers. I tried an India game on Epic as i wanted and i was attacked by Assyria who had Horsemen and Skirmishers at turn 110. Statue of Zeus was taken by Alexander on turn 70 and you took it on turn 111.

And Aztec on Epic is such a joke. You have so much time to getr advantage of Kitties

I dont know either, I dont expect to get any of those wonders, I just build it, its fine if I have culture anyway. And hey its not that I tried to pick Aztec, I play random game :). Sometimes its nice to have an easy game so I can try out stuffs. Next time maybe Im gonna play on standard.
 
Nice game, I like it!

Few questions:
-Why Theocratic Rule/Synagogues? You didn't fulfill your WLTKD anyway.
-Why not purchase at least a couple more Jags near the end of their lifespan so you could have a couple of extra super soldiers?
-How do you make the decisions for your infrastructure and gold spending? I'm lost trying to follow you here.
-Why'd you annex some seriously weak cities?

I don't understand how you ever managed to get Great Library and Statue of Zeus...and Oracle on top of that? That catapulted you in Science very nicely. I notice you build Councils sooner than I normally would, I suppose that's something I can improve on. I would have rushed Floating Gardens immediately and smashed that invest button.

Tobe honest, I dont know why I manage to get Great Library and Zeus either :)... They should be long gone when I tried to build them, I just build them but wasnt expecting to get them... Oracle and Great Walls on the other hand are guaranteed because Im sure I had the tech first.
- Theocratic Rule/ Synagogues/ Fealty all benefit from WLTKD and wide play, Im planning on going wide so Im gonna pick them, and try to get as many WLTKD as possible. Maybe Im not getting it now, but I will eventually get it.
- Jag is not that powerful, they are super cool unit early but the promotions they keep just doesnt worth the cost of upgrading. And Im planning to faith buy units later using Zealotry to see how it goes with Veneration.
- Im not follow any rule with build order and gold spending. I play by gut feeling, I build/buy things I think I need at the moment :crazyeye:... I always try to get culture/defense/production up first so my city can grow safely though.
- Im gonna annex all cities to see how my happiness go :). The first few puppet was because I didnt have courthouse at that time, and that early game I earn science mainly by conquest.
- Coucils are not very important, but I tried to get them soon so I can build libraries and Universities in all cities. They are really important if I dont want to falling behind in science.

Part 6 is up. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Things are getting more interesting now. Fealty is still a very weak culture tree, my cities are swimming in boredom now. Lets see how to fix this :lol:.

 
Part 7 is up. Hope you guys enjoy it :D. Im really struggling with happiness at the moment. Maybe Fealty finisher can fix things up but its gonna take a while. For now, I will just have to deal with unhappiness.
Here it is:
 
Part 9 is up. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Veneration is... bad. At least for this game. 10% faith purchase to culture is just too small, spending thousands of faith doesnt give even one turn of culture :).. and the yield is weak too. I should really have picked another belief.

 
How do you feel about new Fealty? It was buffed which was definitely needed, but i'm still unsure about Fealty vs two other medeival trees. It is kinda okay, but i do not see the where it really fits.
