 Hello, and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brent and today we're an episode 2 of Conquest of the world as France as France in Civilization 6 last time. Oh, he's built another city, haven't you? Make deal. Yeah, you have three. Yeah Okay discuss what can we discuss? Okay Last time we founded two cities Paris and Bordeaux We basically just start the game. So if you haven't checked that out go do that now. We met Germany we met Pericles from Greece So yeah, we are hoping that today we can go for a bit of a fence of Against Germany that would be kind of cool take out their capital extra might want to go down to the peninsula a bit So, yeah, if you do stuff in the early game, it's better because you don't get as many warmongering Effects put placed upon you Warmongering is kind of what you had it in seven all the other civs started to hate you because you would declare war with everyone So, yeah, we have kind of got stuck because I don't want to go too far away from home But I also Yeah, it's a bit difficult. It's a bit difficult if there are no dogs in heaven skill without a magic fantastic We're just completing them both at the same time. It's great 5.1 is good So we should probably go for if we want to go for a war we should probably go with archery Archery is probably a good way to go. Yeah, cuz then we can get archers which are good Um should probably also go masonry for walls What do we want to do here question? We might want to do founder pantheon. We're not gonna do that. I've kind of decided we're not gonna do that military tradition What does that give great person manoeuvre? Heavy and light cavalry Unit maintenance reduced by one this is good. This is always a good one. I like this one So we're gonna do that. We're gonna have a specialty district soon in one round, which is good. So that should Achieve that boost, which is good. Oh, this is good. This is quite nice This is quite nice. Very nice. I quite like it. I like it a lot But yeah, we're gonna have to definitely think about taking out Germany Okay, six turns and six turns sweet So we're just gonna go down there Please go away. So that is Carthage or to see a Eureka for masonry. What's that? What's the Eureka for masonry? That is a question build a quarry. Well, we can do that soon I suppose. Where are we growing next? That is a good question Nope, we're growing out there. That's fine. We won't probably won't build that for a while We've got a campus. We could go library, but we're getting Decent amount. I'm gonna go trader to get production in the city here because it's a desperately Desperately needs it. What is its production at the moment five? Yeah, what's Paris's? Seven. Yeah, it's pretty shit pretty shit in all regards, but it's fine We'll just deal with that. So that's Africa Not much happening over there Not much at all happening over there Do we have? Okay, next turn I should probably turn auto in turn on it would be a good idea At least for now. Who knows who cares not me. We've got all day So, yeah, let's please wait. Please wait. Please wait. Please wait. Please wait my leash We are big go away Go away. I don't like you telling me what to do Found a pantheon What are we doing? What I really just like that choose pantheon. Oh gosh Hmm Tundra don't have that rain for us. Don't have that production towards wonders. We've already got that Marsh oasis and flood plains Possibly culture from pastures. I suppose we should probably figure out what we're gonna do Plus one third from wine. We've got that that could be quite nice We could go I'm not sure do we want to go I'm kind of thinking a culture, but I also war Hmm, I think since we're stuck at the moment, I think this is probably no not this one. This one is probably the best Or border expansion Because we at the moment we're gonna be we either way we go we're gonna be stuck by people so if we go for Bigger cities except then you get the issue of housing and stuff, which I don't think I want to combat yet I really just like choosing pantheons. It's really annoying. I don't think I'm gonna build a holy site. I just don't one food from camps pass culture If we try and aim, you know what we could just do that and get extra food, I suppose or we could do that and Go for units for war. I mean we could do that. I suppose Yeah If we go for that We can um Yeah, we can build units quicker. Which is good building units quicker is always good Especially in the early game. We are definitely gonna need that because we've got neighbors that will definitely want to fight us So they still haven't enforced their borders. I mean it is only to 41 but It's something that I like to do quite quickly and force my borders Especially if I've got two cities just like this because they can't sail past So they just can't get to Spain which is what I want to get to Spain so I can kind of control the entrance to the Western world or the more West To the New World America and such because if I block them off here They can't get through which is good. So Greece would be stuck Which is fun. Um, where am I gonna go? We're gonna go back home Yeah, we're gonna see what we can do what trouble we can cause Do-do-do-do-do Eight turns for a campus and we've got a campus there, which is good Yeah, three turns for a trader and we've got our trim one turn and state workforce in two Which is great. So we should be able to build some arches. I'll probably upgrade the slingers. We've got a Gold which is good Upgrade you upgrade you Highly suggest you have um those sort of things Arches great. They're great try and get arches as soon as possible. We're gonna do this Because bettering Ram is good pyramids don't really care about but Walls is definitely something that we are gonna have to get Kind of desperately Okay Yeah, I know we have ship production, but that's not my problem. I Can't do anything about that at all. I Yeah, I'm just in a bad position. I have very unproductive tiles around it is equally important Okay state workforce, which is good choose civic We do we want to get up government as soon as possible? I think so Barbering outpost is good. What do we get here? I kind of want to get a Government quite quickly Probably a good idea. What's that entertainment complex not entirely? Hmm Pantheon, I don't know you see if we go for a government Meet three city states. We're never gonna do that We might as well just do that as the quickest Just get our culture up a bit. I suppose it's probably good idea before that next in Open borders For that it's gonna cost you a bit. I mean open borders and we're gonna get no I'm gonna refuse Yeah, I I Don't want anybody settling over here. This is where I'm settling next. I Can't offer open borders because you're not coming through there. There's just no way Grease seven four-step orders as well, which is good and it looks like there's Grease off there. Do they have three cities that would be quite impressive Make deal. Nope. Just one. Okay. There's two. Sorry We are definitely gonna have to take out Germany. Oh look, they've enforced their borders now, which is good Thinking of Denouncing Germany because we have to denounce before we go to war. Otherwise. It's a bit rude Okay, if we move to Bordeaux We will go for a how's your housing doing your housing is doing fine at the moment Let's go let's go for arches Or we could get a settler settler city and then go for arches or hanging gardens That's too much. Where would hanging gardens go? I don't know. Let's not do that then. Let's go for 10 turns for a settler It's quite a lot. We could probably buy a settler. We've got a good money. So we're gonna go for an archer Can we buy a settler? No, we can't 320. Oh, we can do that soon. We can do that soon Yeah, we can do that. Okay. We'll buy a settler Or we'll make one in Bordeaux. We're just gonna pump out units here. I think is probably a good idea Should I change my government when I can? Well, we've got two turns two turns. It's fine What do we get one production? Probably a good idea to food Yeah, we'll do that In addition to bringing riches to our civilization, okay, go away. That's boosted currents here, which is good Yes Please wait See are we should I take this? We have an envoy go away. Please. I don't like you Drama and poetry games and recreation military tradition. Let's see. How long is this gonna take us? 21 turns Okay, we're not doing that one then We'll do that one. I suppose We're gonna change to a What do we have reduces cost of land tile Production towards settlers I could do that one. I suppose We're gonna do that one. Definitely I mean that one's quite nice For now we'll do reduced by one because we want to kind of Gain money and not lose it. We will do Or we could get more gold Do we want to go for production? We're gonna go for more gold We'll do production and a bit get our new government send envoy. We can go to you. What are you? What are you? What are you militaristic? You will give production to the capital and producing units? Well, sure thing So envoys are basically how you become friends with city-states Influenced by two one-on-one. Okay, and I'm a player. Hmm interesting So the Suzeran is basically the person who's the ally of the city-state Just to invite death. Okay. I get it. You hate me. That's fine. I hate you, too low-key kind of thinking we're gonna go for a um Denouncing So we'll denounce you So we can go to war kind of soon We do need to denounce quite early so he doesn't so we don't have to declare a surprise I Can't remember the exact turns. What does it say now? That's a surprise for you. No warmonger penalties Um, okay recorded her stretch is production. We will go for they That could be kind of nice Because with that we can go and take out his capital quite quickly. Oh, we can do that. Yes, please Yes, please. That's good idea. We can help take out the capital with that So we'll do that one. Hopefully it will get through in time so Traders, which are the caravans from Brave New World Basically are the ones that create the roads you can't use workers to create roads also workers have Builders in our cord have less actions. They have three actions, but traders make a road where you're going. So that's cool Declared war on Samaria Grease has declared war on Samaria. They must be friends. Oh, yeah, they're a friend. Okay Building walls around each of us is carving a stove. Okay, I'm gonna go That's fine need more housing. No Both need more housing. Okay, so we need to Work on that a bit. So growth is gonna be really hard at the moment because we have no houses Um Currency could be quite nice for the commercial hub or we could go for astrology. I'm not really worried about to be honest We could go for Barbarians minor resource What does this give iron iron spearmen encampment barracks Chariot water mill Uh, what's this we might go for a Fortin this Then we'll go for these two and then we'll head into the next era. We're not gonna burst ahead. We're gonna build walls Probably a good idea battering ram Gonna build battering ram Probably good idea. I'm gonna go up here We're gonna just stay in our territory because we don't want to scare Germany too much Otherwise they might catch on to what we're doing Yeah, you still happy with us kind of yeah, okay Okay. Yeah, they're fine next turn. Okay. Oh, they've got some warriors Let us quickly check how they're going Germany is number one. Okay 115 and we're at 95. Okay, so we we should be going Yeah, we're gonna need a bigger military than them. They are gonna just pick us up for a bit They're gonna be kind of annoying to us Which is not the best But it will be fine. We will make it through Yes, we need to get a builder as well. That would be great. Can we actually buy a builder that'd be great We can buy a sailor. This is what I wanted But I think at the moment a builder would be Probably good We'll do that next turn. We're making it live in per turn. So I'm not too worried about that one We get a boat in four and a bettering ram in two And we're kind of just gonna go full ham at them. I think it's probably a good idea Hopefully by the end of this episode will declare war Astrology cool, bro We need housing though because I want to continue growing and Building farms increases housing, which is good Harbour that could be nice Da da da da loud traders to embark and allows harvesting of fish that would be nice But then we could also go for a cheeky wee Bronze working I Did say we go bronze working. We're gonna go bronze working so we can get spam and an iron Hopefully we have some iron around that would be great. Usually Germany has quite a lot So that's also another reason to go after Germany Speaking of how are you still going? Are we building up a bit domination? We're in fourth only five 115 okay We've got our bettering ram next turn. So we should be good Bring us up a bit did it? No, not quite. Okay, that's fine We're gonna build a farm We're actually gonna improve that How many housing do you have six of eight? You're fine. What's your problem? I don't know Wolves is probably a good idea. What else can we do though? Still at night turns. Yep, that's too good to pass up Okay We should probably link that with some kind of warrior or something. Why is he fortified? I don't think I fortified him. Oh Well, um, we can upgrade him to a spearman once we've done this which is six turns. I Don't send a rate the value Okay, choose a civic we will go for 18 to they're all 18. So I mean we might as well We're just gonna go for it. We want a new government ASAP Yes Okay, how are you going for housing four or five? Yeah, you're bad Okay Wine open borders open borders. I'm a dick. I don't want them settling down here until I have Sorry about it Settler where can they settle because they can still settle down here? I want to settle down here. I Want to I need to I must Okay, that's that we're gonna go this way Should probably build another one Which I'm gonna do I live in terms. Yep. Sure. Why not? We are then gonna go here. You've got one turn left. Don't you? Yeah Build a farm here because you were desperately running low on housing Okay, that should be good What are you working as well? That's a good question. Oh, we can't start a turn little Progress from the ancient era to the classical era. Oh my gosh. Hello. Oh We're going behind and behind 95 still and you're at 115 someone over took him which is fine 55 pericles is bad We're the last for religious Which is fine culture we're doing quite well Pericles is beating us and we're leading science. So I mean we could go for a science victory here That could be quite nice. That could be something Um Hanging gardens just as well. I didn't do that. We could get that if we that's hanging guns there, isn't it? probably yeah Just as well, I didn't do that one. We're gonna go up here Hmm, I don't think we're gonna be able to declare war this episode we needed just kind of Make sure we're good. Yeah, we need to make sure we're good. I don't want to go into a war that we can't win I should probably move my warrior. I keep saying that I always forget Anyway, bronze working now. So what we might do is we'll settle the city And then we'll end off the episode. I think Yeah, we'll go up this way Choose research we will go for a do we have iron? Yes, we do. We've got iron there. That's fantastic Okay Six turns or for for currency, that's really good. I just Swordsman is good though swordsman is really good go for a wheel Just to get that up Battering ram is gonna come in handy because we don't have the catapult yet, which is a good sort of thing to use These guys are doing a bit of exploring which is cool. They're gonna be blocked out soon a bit of hurry I And there I am there as well. That's fantastic. Okay There's no barbarian. So we don't have to worry too much about this guy Over there is quite nice. We will probably consider that next We're just gonna move him around we are going to move this up to here Choose production we should again probably go for that, but how long until we grow that is great question 16 turns. Okay, so Hmm spearman We need some units like that Okay, they've got some arches there. How are we going now? We're at 120 and they're at 129 Okay, we're getting closer, which is good. I do want to kind of destroy generally at least one of this it is We're gonna sit up here for a bit. I think it's probably a good idea Um Yeah, we're just gonna wait for our settler to come down there and then we'll end off the episode We could have grease coming up for us. How are they? That is a great question grease are far behind. Okay Um I kind of want to see in See what they can what they're doing Uh next turn I might sit up there. That could be a good idea Can we upgrade? No, we can't we're going to create an escort. That would be cool. We're gonna Alert that one Um bettering ram. We're going to Sleep Yeah, okay Okay, we get it We don't have production. I get it you're doing Um stone hinge someone's created a religion then trade route Okay, bordo's getting and it's fine. How long is that left? Does it tell you how long? I don't know What do we see up here? That's a question Oh, there's a great scout. Okay interesting Um Okay, he's got an upgrade as well. That's quite cool Do-do-do-do-do-do How long is our settler got he's nearly there probably going to settle right there probably a good idea Close to the iron Okay, sweet ship building. That's good Okay, so he's got a worker and a warrior in there. That's cool. We're just gonna Alert you there because we want to see an Bordeaux needs amenities and housing. That's not good. We need to get amenities ASAP I'm gonna go this way with this one Just to see how's our 120 134. Okay. He's continuing just to destroy us um amenities we should probably go for a Worker builder next turn Probably a good idea. Holy site. Okay Do-do-do-do-do Negative one amenities. That is not good That is really not good Um, okay, we need to get some more That's how we fix that issue spearman you can come over Here I suppose Yep, sounds good You can we can't go through their border, which is slightly annoying We'll go this way. We'll just continue onwards. I suppose we could go up there Choose a research. We will go for Currently that's four turns is good. Um, I wanted on this coast I was thinking there, but we get too food there. So we'll do that. We'll settle there Okay, so that's three cities. Um, we'll just quickly choose some productions Watermill That could be quite nice We need to keep going with this. We're going to go heavy chariot production of a Probably a monument. Good idea. It's going to take forever Oh Yeah, where are you going next? Can we buy that tile? It doesn't even just say We probably can't do that the next time.
