Babylon is such a game-warping experience it pretty much is a different game when you play them.
That eureka ability is so insane that they could still be a contender for best civ even if that was their only ability.
Their other ability that builds the first building the first time a district is made is also completely insane and would be the best ability for almost any other civ. I think you said that in the vid too

[Gamm]

Seriously, Hammurabi is simply OP when going domination. There's no other civ that's even close.

[Drewciv]

Babylon is the easiest civ to play in domination by far, I have giant death robot when others have the Fuck1ng infantry line

[bertrambauer]

I'd still agree that they're C tier for religious victory, but one thing you missed it that with Babylon you can get a prophet easier than many other civs bc you get a free shrine when you finish your first holy site

[andrzejandrzej]

I would love to see Aztec and Sumerian guide in this series. Your doing na fantastic job for all Civ6 fans.

[williammooney]

With The Great Library and/or Owls of Minerva you can sleep walk to a science victory through all the passive/stolen eurakas you can get.

[PhantomNull]

Religious they should be B, imo. The free building means you get the shrine, which is a big buff in earning a great prophet. I've played a lot of Babylon, and I've only missed a religion once on diety, and I only missed that because Solomon was in the game.

[JarribasDB]

Didn't know you had a Japan one. will check it later

[mammothpage]

With the extra pop, I actually build a lot of campus & add ons, I just don't worry about adjacency too much. Great scientist are pretty awesome for Babylon

[tomservo]

I restart games when I discover I'm up against AI Babylon.

[David]

i watched your ranking list like 5 mins ago then this vid came up lol. I searched for gameplays but finally a good one. Keep up.

[Royquah]

The free tech is honestly game breaking, rushing great library is a must for babylon. Also, you forget to mention that researching technologies and civics from later eras than the current game era will cause them to cost 20% more, stacking multiplicatively per era. While other civs get penalized for being too ahead, babylon ignores all extra costs, which is what makes it one of the strongest domination civ.

+1 food for fresh water means you can sit down inside a tundra and be relatively okay, making strategic resource colonies feasible

[Mustafa-tosi]

I love to play as Victoria but I mean common literally every other Civ Is stronger AND It just annoys me that it's supposed that Victoria should be a dominating Civ at the seas but their Royal Navy Dockyars only gives you gold AND a free movement, like common any other civs get stronger ships, combat bonuses or tech bonuses, while England in the other hand just Haha +1 movement... Which Gran Colombia also have FOR ALL HIS UNITS

[Jman]

I blew people away with science so I think it could be higher. But awesome video!! Thanks for the analysis

[MidnightDoom]

In my game with Babylon I used the unique unit to deal with horse barbarians because there were so many

[antongrigoryev]

A guide for Maya and Lady ̶T̶h̶i̶c̶k̶ ̶T̶i̶g̶h̶t̶s̶ Six Sky would be very interesting. They have a kinda unique playstyle.

[aidandimitriou]

The mine —> industrial zone —> factory —> Ruhr Valley —> planes pipeline comes for us all

[TheShmileyDawg]

Religion for Hammurabi is only critical for that first 25 points, especially if you are lucky to get religious settlements.

[jyutzler]

My understanding is that quick speed games are harder for human players to win so my challenge to you is to win with Hammurabi on quick speed next time you play them.
