TheCivShow Podcast

Hello listeners! Great episode in front of you where our hosts discuss the last game of TheCivShow featuring all the new stuff from the new September 2020 update. Gaul (Zo) vs. Byzantines(Nystagmus) vs. Georgia (Moy) featured on a Highlands Map. Zo discusses the mindset of the Gaul, and why Theater Squares aren't necessary for a high culture output.

Questions from the Community include discussions about how unnecessary granaries are, how the new Civs always sound so good, but really end up just being balanced in the grand scheme of things, and whether external or internal trade routes are better.

Enjoy the episode!

Never go to war with Russia in the winter. Zo and VektorKat quickly learned that last Sunday when playing against Moy's Russia aided by Sharkster playing China. The blizzards caused from Apocalypse mode's exclusive unit, the Soothsayer, Moy was able to make turn VektorKat's early war away while building up a strong religion filled with Science, Amenities, and the Dance of the Aurora + Work Ethic combo.

Unfortunately, the first domination elimination was handed out as VektorKat turned his army away from Russia. With his teammate Zo playing as Gran Colombia, the two turned their attention to the innocent Nystagmus Germany, and eliminated him by attacking on both sides of his empire. Left alone, LuminescentRuby playing Scotland was not alive for much longer. The pillaging of the Campuses and the falling of her capital left Zo and VektorKat no choice but to try and invade China and Russia one more time.

Sharkster led the way in Culture, bolstering an impressive 300 Culture Per Turn by the end of the game. The clock struck midnight on the vigilantes, and Moy and Sharkster were declared the winner by Score victory! Accumulating religion, wonders, and great people to their advantage while war raged on elsewhere.

An exciting game during our community day on Sunday, and all the analysis and comments are in this podcast. The hosts also answer community questions, and talk about which Steven Spielberg movie was his worst.

Hello listeners! This is a very special episode as we are drafting the winners for our Community Game Day! We selected from a hat everyone who was interested in playing this week, and selected 3 lucky winners. We reveal who they are during this episode and we draft our civilizations LIVE! The hosts don't even know who is being drafted and the strategies for the draft are up in the air. Will 1 team be able to snag a couple of S-Tier civs? Will there be a direct counter for drafted civs?

With the August update, Firaxis reworked the way amenities work for your cities. With +5 being the new baseline for an ecstatic city, is it even possible to achieve? Is it even worth it? Is Scotland a terrible civ because amenities are so difficult? We breakdown a new way to think about amenities and how the meta has changed and how to use it to your advantage.

Very briefly at the end, our hosts talk about what it would take to implement an economic victory in Civilization 6. With the rumors on twitter with fans wanting an economic victory, how would that work? An accumulation of gold at one time? Overall gold income?

In this episode, we talk about an up and coming game by Amplitude Studios called HUMANKIND! It draws a lot of similarities between Civilization but also features a lot of additional content. In part 2 of this podcast, we compare and contrast some features in both games, as well as talk about how some of the mechanics work within HUMANKIND. Will it be the game that dethrones Civ from the 4X category?
