Civ 6 | Great Bath & Volcano Start? Time To Play Ethiopia!!! (#1 Deity Ethiopia Civilization VI)

Commenting on the video to support the channel.

It's Ethiopian New Year

There is a great petra city in a Harar - 6 desert hills

poisonous Ethiopian caterpillar algorithm game

EARLLLLLYYY BEARS, ARISE!!!!

Lady of the Reeds and Marshes on a wetlands map to supplement all the hills? Sounds plump! Mmmm!

Ursa, i started a Brasil game.
I had one of the most rigged starts ever. Map: Arboreal (Jungle) I spawned next to a Wonder, got Hercules as a hero, and Kandy like 6 turns to the left. I managed to get the suzerain bonus of Kandy, the Sacred Path belief and some lovely lovely relics. I gained like 6 relics around turn 80-100. Now i'm generating like 1,200 faith per turn.

I'm happy.

Very happy. :)

Daily comment.

Harar is primed & ready for Petra. No great campus for University of Sankore, but I'm sure you can find somewhere for The Best Wonder.

Got what I think is my second Deity win Portugal), partly in thanks to watching how you play.

What was strange was it was a Standard size game (Archipelago) on Console and with, Secret Societies(Owls), Barbarian Clans, Monopolies, Heroes, all on. I'd won by about turn 120 or so, just needed to play it out and won Diplomatic by accident, I was going for a Science win, though Culture and Domination were all theoretically possible. THE BEST BIT WAS IT NEVER CRASHED ONCE WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Honestly towards the end I was beginning to panic.

Decent Petra city near 1st Barb camp eliminated, NW of Kabul. Space for Pyramids, Jebel Barkal, and more.

It would be hilarious if Ethiopia started putting up dams with Egypt just down the river.

This seems like a fun game. Nice little Petra option you have there...

Ethiopia you say? And no relics of the void? Blasphemy!

ENGAGEMENT ALERT!

does it really make a difference via which unit you convert your faith into relics? cultists might be slightly more efficient, but apostles start earlier...

This one looks like one I may try and emulate. Tasty!

:D

Puts legendary start on and starts with no 4 yield tiles next to settler and only a couple resources within 3 tiles lol

Ursa, remember, you MUST get Ark of the Covenant in your capital for you to win. All other relics are great, but Ethiopia, Menelik and the Ark of the Covenant are very important to Ethiopian culture.

This game is why I think Void Singers are hands down the best secret society. No matter what type of victory you are going for, Void Singers are great and you can pick them up after putting points into Pingala and Magnus and not suffer for it. You only need 2 governor titles to get massive value from them. Owls are the second best because of their policy slots which can work for any victory but you need 3 titles to make them at their peak (and Owls can hardlock your game if you pick them first with someone like Kublai Khan who have extra policy slots.) Vamps are good for Science and Dom because you can get so much production in your capital to make space projects come out in like 5 turns (plus you can get every wonder you want, like 8 turn Ruhr Valley) and obviously Vamps can wreck cities for dom play. Hermetic Society can be as good as Owls and Void IF you RNGesus is on your side, and can be trash if you aren't blessed.

I'd hvae taken the settler and just deleted it if i didn't think i could hold it.
you totally coulda survived it

I'm still on C, oh Ryan save me

Also; this is a crazy start for Ethiopia on a Wetlands map.

The volcanos in this game really makes me want to play a game on the Geothermal map from Alternate Cartography. And I believe it was here where I first laid eyes on that beauty of a map.

DUDE - that's insane

I love faith eco games, always so fun and Ethiopia are one of my favourites for it. Oromo tend to be a bit underwhelming but on a very hilly map like this I can see them being really useful. Teddy better get ready for a good ol' pillaging!

After the hiatus during the recent series, this was a quality return of the Huzzah. Arabia Huzzahs, Settler Huzzas, Faith Per Turn Huzzahs (not to mention the city called Harah). All is well again.

Oooh this is going to be good

Keep it up Ursa! I love that you're sticking to your niche of civ 6! I mainly play civ 5 but it's awesome to see high level vs AI gameplay.

8 mins in and im convinced that you borrowed Potato's script to get a relic from goody hut.

Severe attackage the aggressive negotiation of civ

Why don't I get the same start as you when I try playing your save file from your discord? I start next to Japan

Fun Game! Worth noting, the sooth sayer has like 4 maintenance cost. Having it hang around can be costly. In any case, great content as always!

I did a one city challenge using the Ethiopia Great Bath strategy once. It was terrifying though because I had to cross my fingers for the last 30 turns and hope I wouldn't lose to a meteor hitting my capital. Pumping soothsayer charges into the great bath river really speeds up the global warming.

i think the fire goddess pantheon would have also been cool for this game, i hardly ever see it used

You're forgetting Yerevan, which is also a source of relics early on since it's basically a diet Mount St Michel and lets you pick martyr on all your apostles. And it synergises very well with Mount St Michel once you build it too, since you can choose whatever promotion you want and still benefit from martyr.

I AM A SADIST I LIKED WHEN IT WAS ON 600 AND MADE IT 601. MUHUHAHAHA

Ethiopia is one of my favourite civs :D

potato did a game if I remember right where he did apocalypse mode and great bath with ethiopia and he had crazy faith yields from making it flood

This one should be wild. Loving this whole A-Z series! Great content as always

Ursa: I'm gonna rush Great Bath.
Then proceeds to build a monument and a builder before the wonder 😂

This might sound odd, how does a a vanilla culture victory game with no game-changing mods sound? It's just kind of a nostalgia thing for me.

I feel like people rely to heavily on relic gameplay for the Ethiopia civ. It's actually a really versatile civ tbh

Are wetlands maps supposed to not have that much marshes? You seem awfully surprised.

I'll take a triple scout start if I can get it. Sometime I have a 4 scout start by getting 2 free scouts.
