Civilization VI

[Tonitrus]

Scythians first look video. Seems they are the new Mongols/Huns.

Btw, here is a leaked poster with what are likely the different civs and leaders: http://well-of-souls.com/civ/images/civ6_portrait_bingo1.jpg

Doesn't require horse resources?

I guess the idea is that Scythians carry horses with them wherever they go.

Or they were really centaurs.

Apparently they come in regular and thermonuclear variety - and this time there's no defense against them except denying your opponent uranium.

Marbozir is doing an LP with an early build:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByY_fjcfHqA.

As does quill18: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs3acGYgI1-srHH9i_RycDLUXkjhDc9jy

Not a fan of Marbozir. He was on a few "boardgame" series, where he and other YT people would play e.g. Talisman - he's fine as long as he's doing well, but as soon as he has a bit of bad luck he basically is about to flip the table and needs to be talked back into the game.

[DGuller]

Marbozir does tend to whine quite a bit, and the fact that he's much worse at livestreams than at Youtube videos makes me wonder about how often he quietly reshoots or splices a video when things don't go his way in single player LPs.  But the thing about LPs is that they drive you insane when the player doesn't play well, and quill18 rarely plays well whereas Marbozir is usually on point in Civ games.

I don't mind them playing sub-optimal. Arumba might be more to your liking then:

Though he sometimes goes on a rant about game mechanics, and later realizes that he overlooked something obvious.

[FunkMonk]

Arumba is a massively annoying whiner. The Marbozir guy is a bit better.

[Martinus]

Really liking the quill's Rome game. I can't stand Marbozir's accent. He should at least learn how to pronounce "bonus".

[Crazy_Ivan80]

trying not to watch them. I'd like the game to have some mystery left when starting up.

Is it some sort of local thing? I know only one other Pole who had a habit of talking "through the nose" like Marbozir.

[Richard Hakluyt]

My preferred lp guy is quill18, the fact that he cocks things up and gets baffled now and then is a plus.

This.
