Let's Play Civ V - Japan

[TheMeInTeam]

Hello Forum! I was ninja'd a bit because some of you noticed before I finished uploading , but I've finally done a let's play of civ V. Technically, I did one prior to this, but the video quality and audio distortion was shameful. This one is better - if you watch it on 720p you should be able to see it all .

Anyway, now that I've uploaded all of the videos in the series and properly sorted them into a playlist, I am making an official announcement of the series! The entire thing in 1 playlist can be found here:

Enjoy!

Good video. Still watching.

One thing I would have done different early. When you had the pikeman, I would have killed their warrior outside Siam (the first one you saw before you attacked the city), and then fortified down the pikeman on some good rough terrain and waited for his other units to come to you and pick them off one by one. You wasted some massive firepower there. By picking off his units, you would have kept him in a war footing, and forced to use his production on more useless underpowered doomed military units instead of workers, settlers and buildings. You'd have held him back significantly on the development front.

Also, why don't I ever get a double advanced weapons on MY warriors???

I like your Piety direction - different than what I've been doing. Interested in seeing how that goes.

Thanks for posting.

FYI, I beat the game on Deity level with Japan....in 12 turns.

Great Civ.

I watched the two first videos and have some comments.

You have a worker that's basically going to be idle after building a pasture on those cows. Why would you want to settle on a gems mine instead of settling near it so you can work it for quite some extra coin and production (which you said yourself is quite scarce in this game)? Makes no sense at all, especially considering the fact that you hooked up 2 happiness resources already (pearls and spices).

Also, you settled your second city (thus increasing the policy requirements), when you could've picked the policies first and settle second, all in the same turn. You lost 33% of your saved up policy points this way.

Your scout won so many battles because of your japanese trait. But I can't understand why you wouldn't want to finish enemy units with your scout, rather than the city (you get GG points if you do it with units, as well as promotions).

watching video 4.

You can make peace with allied city state of another AI directly in the peace treaty, or if they don't include it, you can go make peace right after you made peace with the AI through the usual popup where you communicate with city state. That worker steal could have been completely avoidable.

Heh, theoretically you could win on turn 0. This one guy lost on turn 0 from spawning right next to an enemy civ's jaguar warrior.

I'll definately be watching this. I'm curious as to how exactly bushido works.

Let me guess: Quick, Dual, Pangea, High Sea Level and you played against someone terrible.

Great game.

How is this different from a Civ 4 Quechua rush on a Deity Duel game?

 

[Semmel]

The key is to start in the modern era. Found your capital then wander around with your other settlers until you find the other capital and settle 2 cities near it. Research electronics first, upgrade your inf to mech inf asap, take the capital, ???, profit.

He saved as precaution for bugs, he lost the battle and didn't reload.

Love your videos TheMeInTeam, watched a few of your older videos too, fun stuff.

(Also, if you havent figured it out, you were trying to check your map type at one point and couldnt find it, its on the main menu at the bottom showing your civ, difficulty, map type and such)

People are so picky. I failed the attack and *didn't* reload.

So why did I save? If you wouldn't quit on it as fast as you're accusing others of re-loading, you would have heard. I saved to avoid the chance of actually WINNING the war, but losing the recording (it would be far from the first recording I've lost, and this was the FIRST TIME recording civ V with the new codec).

In other words, I don't save scum during online LPs. Ever.

 

[Bibor]

TMIT, you don't need to explain yourself. Not to these types.

 

[KingMorgan]

I heard you explain the reason for the save, even through the laughter of you missing the game settings as you navigated to the game options. Ignore the noobs - they are far too busy knocking off those silly achievements before moving on to the next dismal offering.

You're a braver man than I am. I'll reload strategic mistakes, but not tactical mistakes. A pointless attack ending on a -33% tile, flanked by capital bombard and a healthy warrior, using your only offensive unit? Keep going bro!

What program do you use to record?
