  • The overpowered leaders are Chinese and American.

  • @MillCityPersons I don't understand how the American's are OP.

    I haven't played the game very much so can you explain?

  • @K0p3rn1cus The start with a great person that can be used for finding friendly villages and the can rush units for half price. That means in the medieval era, they can rush a settler for 20 gold. With Code of Laws, every one population it takes to make a settler can make a new city with three pop.

  • @TheLegoman2525 Whoa, whoa, learn some grammar dude, the words "best" and "French" NEVER go together in the same sentence!

  • @TheLegoman2525

    Never choose democracy! That must be a mistake....

  • @TheLegoman2525 dude thats a horrible gameplan i always go with democracy the science explosion is massive just let it push you till you get tanks then you start taking out all of the weaker players cause aslong as your technology is higher than everyone elses you will always have a leg up on their defenses i get so gfar ahead they are still on pikemen and im already blowin em away w tanks i prefer germans too the high production is really helpful

  • That guy can't take loosing.

  • any1 that plays civ revoultion on ps3? add me so we can play togheter!

    MY ps3 id is Th3-twinss add me! i got a mic

  • @GamEfreakStunter WWG-xJRxMONEYx

  • how did you choose where to put the orange boxes for your territory?

  • You raped ;)

  • Hye任何人戲劇civ rev我仍然做nobodys在線

  • Comment removed

  • Well first off lag never effects both players, its almost always one sided, eg everything one player does takes several more seconds than another.

    But yeah mtg is a whiny bitch.

  • lol, good old ancient days of civ rev, its 300bc and youre baerly doing 30 science..lol by that time im doing 60-70 with zero libraries and no democracy as romasn..lol

  • @PierreLombardini

    Wow man you are so badass

  • @STK87 thank you :) i can reach advance flight by 500ad :P when people see the bomber raids they see no mercy from me haha

  • @PierreLombardini how do you do that? do you invest in sciences only? cuz if you do that, your city has no growth. I'm just wondering.

  • @MacarioVistro no you invest in making tons of cities, think about it, if you have 30 cities each making at least a minimum of 10 science, that right there is 300 science easily... you need irrgigation to get a super head start, with it you can rush/build another wave of settlers... the more cities the harder it will be to defeat you. and no you get bombers with oxford, when industrialization is your highest tech, you receive advanced flight, try romans lots of cities, n 1/2 wonders :)

  • @PierreLombardini Thanks for the tip. I'll try that for sure :)

  • @MacarioVistroi invest in science and defensesive units my playstyle is according to the greeks abilities democracy at start pikemen camp it up sell tech for settlers build in a high food area make that city balenced it gains high population more production and science from that high tech scares other civs declare war on me i come out my shell with tanks and artillery in early 1900s while they just get gunpowder workshop wonder for pikemen to infrantry and other units to there last tiers=win

  • @chilwil07 Thanks! i love using the greeks too :) they are a great civ for technology victory.

  • @MacarioVistro Greeks are super cool. They're my best civ.

  • @mail1238 mine too :) mainly cuz they start out with democracy and that gives a boost to your science tiles. If i'm going for a culture victory, i'll pick the romans because of the half cost wonders.

  • @MacarioVistro isnt the chinese the best ones their bonnuses rock

  • how does this work? you wait for each other to finish their turns? how long does one multiplayer game last?

  • @afriend8888 it can take around 3 hours if its a stale mate 'til someone gets either a world bank which makes you win or the apollo program which also makes you win but that could take a while if your not completley focused on that

  • Cool

  • To be fair to MGT... I JUST played a game against my friend... who was on chat while we played... and I was lagging EXTREMELY BAD... and he wasn't at all. Not even a little.

    So your statement that lag affects both players simply isn't true because I know FIRSTHAND about that. I JUST got done playing 20 minutes ago... he whooped my ass.

    Anyway I came online to see about some different strategies I can use for my Chinese civ.

  • @Krumbz2003 yeah thats what private john is trying to say

  • @Krumbz2003 did u have it for pc? maybe ur comp just sucks

  • im a new player. is it possible on the single player mode to set it so that no matter how much culture, economic or tech you have you can only win by take over every civ?

  • @BumJuiceDrinker it is possible to make it only a domination victory its under the scenarios list

  • The first thing I do is Bronze Tech I feel that military comes first before anything else.

  • wow, mr game theory is a fuckin bitch. lol

  • does anyone want to try and face me on civilization?

  • For many year's i have played as the russian's. I am a very good player with that civilization.I play on x box 360. If you have x box 360 than challenge me i will crush you.

  • @kishanman1 i do custom science and research alphabet and build a library so i get so much science

  • Chinese are the beast team easily, unless you wanna start pulling some questionable shit off.

  • 5:00 "Are you a child?" XD

  • Romans=Economic/cultral *proved on diety*

    French=Cultureal *diety but in reality TIED wit arabs you win if a tie*

    Aztecs=domination (healing units)

    Greekes=Technology (everbody says so)

  • whats the beginnin song?

  • how do i know if my xbox is american or european? i believe it's american causei played with people from USA

  • Actually, I have played games with a friend where I was lagging, and i asked him if he was through my mic, and he said no. So it is possible to lag if only your connection is bad.

  • against decent players your first tech should be bronce working if you're not going for the horse rush. and with the chinese you don't even need code of laws. not very impressing

  • The greek are the best in technology. The really fews times I manage to play online I have something like 20 more technology than the others^^

  • is this game any good it looks fun but i dont know if i should by it

  • sounds like mgt is sort of a bad player who wins by lying... i hope u win john :)

  • americans are good for military domination

  • I owned him online his knight army was large i destroyed him by technology when i get my first tanks he was shocked then i destroyed 4 of his citys better mean i taked them over then

    i nuked his capital and he was leaving the match

  • megacitys overated it only works up to warlord

  • im telling you you pick the most powerfull civ and showing us how good you are why dont you pick mongols biatch !

  • this is so gay strategy .

    i really mean GAY strategy you plant cities side by side what a fucking bullshit .

    no skillz you win cause of chinese bonus .

  • John, How do u record your games? I know how to pull it off when on a PC, but how did you do it on a console?

  • @RoccoBrownn with a win tv hvr hybrid tv stick. from hauppauge

  • @RoccoBrownn Capture Card

  • @XxGonixXFAN

    they didnt have those two years ago...

  • @MikeBorchers Are you an idiot? Of course they did. I did an entire game walkthrough using a capture card two years ago. Don't believe me? Check my videos. Fucking moron.

  • What song is at the beginning?

  • Whats the begin music?

  • people can only say there lagging becuse they suck

  • I usually play as the japanese or the english, japanese cause they start with ceremonial burial, english cause of monarchy.

    in my opinion what lead to his downfall mainly is that he left his capital as a barrier, i at least found some cities to use as war posts or shields to keep any enemy forces from my capital. then i build up a large naval fleet so they cant make landings. And it kinda goes on from there.

    awesome vid by the way. 5/5

  • my fav are the egyptians and aztecs

  • i just got the game, but i prefer aztecs =D

  • do you scream your own name when you jack off in front of the mirror?

  • Lol that's all you have to say? try me on civ

  • you diddnt answer my question ;)

  • I do not answer amateur shit talkers. You got to be a pro like me or Michael Moore.

  • Medic on a catapult army? Noobnoobnoob

  • you're actually absolutely right

    Medic is completely unnecessary on army units of 3

    they either die or automatically have all their health

    and my god, megacity strategy is horrible

    I at least have a veteran archer army defending all my cities

    the game as really evolved in 7 months, but sheesh, i win the games with tanks and bombers, not catapults?!

  • I am in the modern era by about 900-1200 ad, I doubt you could beat me.

  • lol, sounds like a good challenge

    I can be in the modern era around that time period if I want to, but that requires a lot of seclusion. I'd much prefer to be in the Modern Era around 1400 and have a sophisticated Culture.

    But sounds like a challenge! I am getting sick of pwning. My gamertag is M002, send me a message on a weekend. (those are Zero's, not O's or D's)

  • wait shit, ur a PS3 owner, i'm a 360 Owner

    damn, awell.

  • The funny thing is that I don't even need to focus on just science to manage that feat.

  • okay, now that was a cocky statement

    you're saying that you don't need to focus to manage a feature

    thats an oxymoron

    you're complementing something while calling it crap

    but whatever.

  • I'm a complex person, what can I say.

  • lol, you need a good ass-woopin =P

  • Me and my partna WiZArD_EsIn don't lose Team Games, ever.

  • in team games you can research twice as fast

    individual is a little tougher.

  • Not true, there are many different strategies, for example, my partner would use his resources to camp your production square early on thus crippling you.

    Also I can still get into the modern era incredibly fast WITHOUT a partner, my partner is just there to use resources.

  • wat civ do u play as most then?

  • Chinese, for fun Romans.

  • Lol, funny

    Mine is Romans, Chinese for fun.

  • That's dumb, if someone builds the colossus and hanging gardens you're fucked.

  • yeah, but if i'm the romans, i'm the one building both of those

    oh, and while playing as the egyptians today: Steam power by 800

    I think i've done better, but i'm actually watching the date now, you should do the same.

  • That's if you start out with the Colossus, that doesn't take skill, that takes luck.

  • true, I also got a library and a great scientist in there pretty fast

    oh, and my second city got a free trading post on it early, so it was equally as good as my colossus city.

  • Yes, but the colossus is ridiculous.. i MEAN I could be in the modern era by 250 with that, it's all chance.

  • its not that ridiculous if ur playing with other good science civs like the chinese or japs

    they can get invention pretty quickly and woop, colossus sux

  • When you're the egyptians with the colossus you'll be in the modern era before they get invention. Hell, you'll probably have tanks.

  • maybe on king, but on emperor and diety hell no, and definetly not on multiplayer, which u probably don't play much since psn and ps3 suck.

  • Oh that's all I play and indeed, the Egyptian strategy is cheesy.

  • Comment removed

  • wow ur a dumbass

    you accidentally but "acceditnly"

    and yes

    I said "PS3"... Now explain to me how the fuck that makes me blind?

    I can't comprehend your retardation

  • I always use the Japnese for science. If you have libraries and great people in each city you might have some chance but im not so sure....

  • yes the Japanese are good for science, but the Greeks and Chinese are equally adept for science

    Great people is also dependent on Luck, so don't use that for a surefire strategy.

  • i can take ur city by 1400bc

  • No, I keep defenses noob.

  • u wont have defences noob

  • YOu wanna bet?

  • depends

  • I'd like to see you break through an archer army at 1400 AD

  • two spys and a horseman army

  • Wait 1400 AD? I'm sorry. You'd have to beat a rifleman/modern infantry army and a tank army. Though you said BC

  • Wow you're a noob if you put cities that close together, sad sad boy.

  • Oh yes the Romans are my fav too. :+, who builds their megacity on a peninsula? Seriously, lol.

  • I have a question. How can I tell what era I'm in? I still don't know. Thanks for answering if you do.

  • well done, I've betaen him twice and lost once. With his megacity startegy, it's difficult to fully defend every city whilst keepihng up on techs so if you continously attack him, you slow done his strategy

  • sweet vid man. I have this game and i just love to play as the romans. Whats ur guys favorite civilization?

  • Aztecs, because im always going for the gold victory

  • Nice vid.

  • rofl i could easily beat him

  • what civ is this

  • their making a patch for the game i think so you cant do mega city that easy

  • talk about being on someones nutz :):):)

  • oh forgot to mennsion pvt john, i think your REALLY good at this game. you use the same stragey as i use. once i egt mathematics, and my cities are well defended, catapults make it all over. once i get xbox live add me. i have a silver membership he's neko52. i'm subscribing and sending u friend request. nice video man! p.s lolz baby picture. so freaken funny that was a nice idea

  • mgt is a cheater. bullshit. lag my ass. but i do have some helpful advice you might wanna hear: never give catapults the medic upgrade. they never lose a unit. if they do in combat, they get it back after they win. but hears how it works: how many units you have when it's just single is how many hp it has for an army. example. legions: they have 3 units. so in armies, they have 3 hp. cannons. have 2 units. armys, 2 hp. tanks. 1 unit. 1 hp. hope i made sence! nice win btw! 5/5 fav

  • If i lose 2 catapult i still need medic to heal in enemy zone?

  • the lag is deffinaly bull and mrgametheroy is just s sore loser..but i will say the rome megacity is a nice stragey buts its deffninalty not unbeatbale like u showed nice job beating his ass

  • other question what the hell is the mega city thing? i never heard of it... someone tell me :(

  • Basically having a lot of little cities, and all they do is pump out settlers and the settlers will join one city that will become a megacity. They will do that until the population is all the way to 31, and the population increases production, gold and science. It is really effective but very vulnerable to early rushing.

  • Lol bitching about civilization? wow thats really pathetic mrgametheroy, i never even knew you existed

  • very amusing

  • i play as germany even though they're the shittest.I play as then shittest civ in every

  • Just read the forum you posted. I figured a rush from either player could destroy either player. But why do that when you can beat him at his own game? Very nice victory. Your also right about no resycherization and why would their be? Hes host which means if hes lagging your lagging which is not the case. Watching this and reading that forum has deffintely given me many ideas I did not have and a better understanding of the game. Thank you for posting this.

  • So this is 1v1 ranked. At least the top people anyway. I think the lag is bull because it would affect both sides in this type of game. And this mr game theory sounds like the kind of person who is good but when he gets beat its like listening to a child come up with a thousand excuses to why he lost. The only thing I dont get is why doesnt either of these strats lose to a straight up rush? Just stick everything on trees play as zulu kind of rush.

  • what does "B" do? I'm sorry I use a PS3, but I'm gonna get a 360 and buy this game for it.

  • You're kind of a dick! LOL!

  • I was happy to see this just now. Im glad you made him quit and the lag is bull.

    Thanks for beating him.

  • aha thats how Civ for noobs look like...

    when do you come back to real Civ GT?

  • What song is that song at the beginning?

  • It's from the intro to the CBS show "The Unit".

  • someone needs to give an in depth guide to making the mega city strategy work because I dont think im doing it right.

  • all you need to do is keep pumping settlers into it and soon the mega city will be yours

  • thas just the reason peplo keep losing using the megacity in MP is no simple as this, i think you can do tha only seeing this strategy working, you need A LOT of micro of gold, cience, armies, cities, in the begining, after you have stabilized evirthing, then you can startpumping settlers" see my videos,

  • ohhh my god !!, i really need check my comments before posting, and dont type so fast

  • your videos dont show you at the start. Only once you have all the awesome cities built.

  • yeahh thats the point, if not, everybody would start to try this and the multiplayer will be broken

  • That video is the demo version isn't it? That's only exploiting the bug which is not available in the full retail version.

  • i know now,its in the forum, the settlers no longer can make the megacity be multileveled per turn, but rome still like one of the best, maybe more than china :P

  • lol ok.

  • why dont you make a vid series showing your strategy MGT,because I also dot he emga city strategy and im sure you do it better but I get slaughtered in MP

  • you needto be very skilled to micro your cities, this also includes the militar side of this strategy, i learn this playing 2 games with MGT, after that games my strategy uber grow in everything, maybe im not good as it, but i think i can beat some top playera too, and some top players, but i need to make better my strategy

  • any way just now, im start getting cultural victories with rome before 1000 aC with no handicap option,

  • I figured I would let all you newbs know that I just took #1 on the ladder after slaughtering the former #1 Miz isHere.

    I think its sad that in 5 days all the best players in Europe failed to provide a serious challenege and I only lost 2 games out of 40 total. 1 was a freeze 2 turns before an economic victory and I shut off Xbox and the other was this game where I lagged out and couldn't micro half my civ.

    Ohh well. Hopefully some solid Americans will rise and provide a challenege.

    :D

  • lol who've you play in the top10?

  • America FTW :D

  • There is no point in wasting my time here. And its foolish to give this newb this much attention.

    and BTW I have beaten every Top 20 on the ladder more than they have beaten me or if I happen to not have played them for some reason, they have declined an offer to play. If you newbs out there make it to the top 20 let me know and we can get a game in. Gamer tag is Mr Game Theory

    Peace out

    ;)

  • Coming from a guy who got banned from 2K forum numerous time and openly lie about his game stats "Oh i have 31 city population and i will win in next turn" when the fact is you onlu have 15population, lol?

  • top 20 maybe but definitely not top10.

  • Just surpassed Private John to Take 4th on the Ladder "Yawn"

    I have a 1/5 his games, ive beaten him more than hes beaten me, I am now ranked Higher than him on the Ladder.

    You newbs enjoy yourselves and Ill let the scoreboard speak for itself.

    And lets all remember everyone, I beat Private John our First game with an 800 AD Economic Victory.

    All he is doing is giving biased bullshit, so continue to waste all your time.

  • Keep playing, your rank will drop eventually when you experience few frozen game.

    Yes the leaderboard does speak for itself indeed - Not everyone is using Rome ;)

    Ya you beat me on the first game when i wasnt using my real strategy and you lost to me 2 games in a row after that. Oh did i mentioned that 2nd game you lost at the time 100BC?

  • wtf? He is using the mega city strat. and his mega cities pop. was only 15 in 1100? He needs to go practice in single player some.

  • The problem isnt with him but the strategy itself. It work best when nobody is bothering you...eg. AI. In real MP, he can't thus the slowness because alot of resources are spent on defense etc. I already captured 4 of his cities yesterday but luckily he got the tank artifact so the game didn't end right there.

  • Pff try that rome strat in ffa, I've never seen one use it and I'm 100% sure you will fail.

    Good job kicking his ass PrivateJohn.

  • yeahh, romes mega city strategy is not "perfect" but what you can say about a strategy that can only beat (with luck) by top players, think about the noobs, and normal players they cannot in ten thousand years beat this !!!!!! i have proofs only the worlds skilled players can beat this.........with luck and rush, very very rush...

  • I play MGT yesterday and he has all the artifact yet he can't win while his main city pop is just 15 at 1100+AD before the game froze. In fact he would have lost earlier if he doesn't have the free Tank artifact.

    Alot of assumption has been made based on the demo version but the leaderboard is saying otherwise.

    Playing with average player of course you will think it's overpowered. I have not lose a single game against people out of top 10, so is my strategy too awesome now? Hardly.

  • I think the only thing that will solve this "debate" is a rematch, with no lag of course. Then we will see if the the megacity strategy can be crushed.

  • What numbers am I making up newb?

  • Want me to post another video?

  • And they say my Strat doesn't work...

    HAHA ;)

  • Nobody say it doesn't work, ppl only argue it's not perfect ;)

  • Oh and btw I and the USA have had this game for 3 days while the rest of world has had it for a 1month, and im ranked number 7 on the entire ladder. On a ladder like Civ Rev you have to beat players with more rank to move up at a reasonable pace and I have beaten every top 10 player I have played thus far and only lost this game because of lucky lag.

    In 20 games I am ranked right behind players like Private John who have more than 100 games and have played it for a month.

  • Have fun climbing to top 3 :)

  • Regardless I am beating this newb 3-2 and it should be 4-2 but his 3rd world connection froze a game he was obviously going to lose.

    The only reason why I reply to this shitty newb is because he goes through such a rediculous degree of trouble to post a bullshit biased video.

    I will admit, you did make a good video, so I guess everyone has to be good at something.

  • lol, making up numbers now? Cruiser & tanks away...ahoy.

  • I never said my strategy was unbeatable. There is chance and Luck in this game and we are playing a game similar to Backgammon not Chess. All I have said that based on probability and Statistics you are more likely to win with Rome than any leader.

  • I've never denied Rome is the representative race of the game and it's the most accesible & balance Civ, but as far as i can remember you were bragging about how awesome & unbeatable your strategy in your threads which got lock down eventually,lol.

    Luck apart, your second game with me today shows that your tech still couldn't catch up with me. With abit of luck (acquire a knight) I finished you off at 1100BC.

  • btw, have you forgotten in the game shown above you found 2 artifacts while i got none, yet my tech is still ahead of you? Luck seems to favor you but you blame it on lag anyway.

  • And obviously he failed to put how bad my lag was and how I was so badly lagged that the French AI took 5 of my cities becuase I was soo lagged I couldn't even micro in half my cities. GJ on the poor sportsmanship, I asked you to not press B because it was taking 10 seconds to even get into a city and I gave up 4 turns to write you text messages asking you to help me deal with the lag.

  • vs me you lose 2 of your cities for the zulues, an i leaded that match, and in the second match you own me hahaha

  • How many times you want me to explain this to you.

    1. If you lag, i would lag too. There were not even once we need to resynchronize the game.

    2. Just when you found out i have catapult and my tech is far beyond your reach, you message me you are lagging. Coincidence? I think not.

  • I find it funny that he put this video up since the game before this I got an Economic Victory on him at 800 AD with no Handicap. I was kind enough to offer him a rematch Where is that Video newb? HAHA

  • That game i wasn't even using my original strategy. All of the match details are over at the official 2K forum. Yes, both game. I even listed out when and how both of us lost. :)

    Why is this video up here? People at the forum want to see how megacity is not perfect? lol.

    Also are you accusing I am avoiding you? Today i just play you again and you lost again? (but i lost with Egyption & Spanish...lol)

  • Well what about THE megacities strategy

  • perfect this match means the game is not SO unbalanced, im reconsiderin buying soon
