He Doesn't Know Yet... - Civ 5 2024 Arabia Ep.7

Decided to play some Civilization 5 because why not. Playing as Arabia on a Pangaea map, epic game speed, large map size. No mods, other than Enhanced User Interface.

Mongolia declares war.
Marbs: "So you have chosen death."

Such a pleasure to watch a good, flowing game of CIV 5.
The hot mess called CIV6 does my head in.

[stevesmith]

😅 Marbs loves when he has a powerful army, and the AI declares war on HIM! He gets to pretend to be the nice guy, who is only defending his lands. 😅

[Namal]

Marb was so exited about Mangolia war, that he missed the fact that Marb cannot coal

[cacklingethan]

As Marbs stated a few episodes back, if he settled Baghdad in the lower spot, the strategic resource would spawn north... Lisan Al Gaib

[Civforlife-tdhy]

You can't get horsemen once you research chivalry, which is why I recommended building one in a previous episode.

[thenut]

ah yes my Favorite battle of the century Camel archer vs Keshik.

[sqliqbild]

He declared war because his spies didn't notice the armed-to-the-teeth camels. They were.... Camelflaged. 😎

[eenomnomnom]

As Marbs predicted, settling Baghdad in the south let him lose out on the north coal deposit -- but that defensive position is definitely making up for it!

[mikked]

Doesn't he understand? Marbs is a peaceful person.

[ollieduracell]

Yes! I refreshed most of the day yesterday without an episode. Next 36 minutes of life sorted

[elfiesterojr]

when marbs said i almost felt sorry that was scary LOL

[fishleaf]

Liberating Ife would remove a lot of warmonger score, could make trades a little easier from the other AIs, so yeah thats a good idea

Hilarious the No Coal Hype came through :D

[starsnmuffins]

good guy genghis, saving you time deciding who to go after next :p

[KomBackHordz]

Marb, I think you've done a similar challenge before but I was thinking of you playing a diplomatic victory civ 5, with any civ you please.

The Catch is that all of the rivalizing civs are warmongers. But you cannot attack them, only defend, on diety ofc.

[dontnormally]

some mints and banks in the gold cities seems like a no-brainer

[Christophee]

Logistics is particularly useful on Keshiks with their extra movement, and the Khan makes it super easy to get, so for that period of the game I actually like them better than Camel Archers. Logistics plus extra range on a Camel Archer is just ridiculously good though, so at that point they become better.

[willdog]

Could also just start a citadel to get the coal

[mranderson]

I think the only fast unit you can get in a reasonable timeframe are lancers. But even then, just sticking with musketmen and prioritizing getting to biology (to see where oil is) or radio (Eiffel tower) might be the better idea.

[tscchope]

A third of northern Pangea and Marbs has no coal. Yep, typical. 'I'm going to liberate Ife. Why? You'll get the gems anyway. Just raze it. Then you can found a city with 4 horse resources (after you raze another Mongolian as well). The prospect of Marbs rampaging over the map with 16 camel archers with logistics and range is a sight I'll not soon forget. I'd keep those great generals, you know, Marbs' luck with resources in his own territory, for oil and aluminium.
