Holy poo poo, dude. Let's Plays are entertainment, not life. I could hear you gasping and losing your train of thought slightly all through the video. Take a break, get some rest, don't kill yourself for goddamn Civ V.

Capitol: A building or complex of buildings in which any legislature meets.
Capital: A city designated as a legislative seat by the government or some other authority, often the city in which the government is located; otherwise the most important city within a country or a subdivision of it.



I honestly got the feeling that Fargle is more just kinda rambling on because he's flying solo instead of using co-commentators. Trying to fill the air with something.

Honestly I think that playing makes Fargle feel better. He seemed normal to me after the first few minutes. That said, Fargle has earned quite a few days off with his record of updating. Take any time you need buddy!

Thanks for the answers, Fargle, it really helps having things pointed out that way. :)

As someone who knows him and chats with him regularly...this is literally the case as far as I can tell. There's a reason dude got every single Civ V achievement LEGIT (and why he won't stop squealing like a little girl at every little bit of news about Civ VI).

He's just gotta spend a few minutes winding up to speed, figuring out where he left off since he seems to be doing one episode a day now instead of 4-5 at the start. It just takes a moment for the Fargle-capacitors to warm up to operating temperatures.

I bring this up in today's video actually. Also Prora is unlocked at Flight and not Railroad.

Yes, once you finished railroad, and unlocked Neuschwanstein, I was thinking you should go straight to Flight for Prora, because the oil and Aluminum wasn't going anywhere.

re: happiness, would annexing some of your puppeted cities and building their courthouses/happiness buildings have been worthwhile? Or would the added research/culture costs be too much

How much do the AI bonuses from the higher difficulty come into it at this point? I imagine they've a large (possibly massive) part in the player being left out of options.

Everything about Siam's existence is owed to those bonuses. The Celts too.

I'm eager to see what happens next in this war. Is there any chance Denmark might take advantage of it to take their capital back? I noticed that they had some troops gathering near Copenhagen.

I'm not sure how far in advance you record these episodes, but you might want to check Sofia as I noticed it was working a stock exchange specialist slot. While it probably doesn't matter in the long run, you can get that courthouse up faster.

You could airdrop them though. But yeah, it seems like xcoms with the siege promotion would be far more useful for storming cities.

Okay everyone. Gotta let you know now. Updates are going to be sporadic for the next week or so. A lot of major family stuff is happening right now and my grandmother is going in for surgery. I'll be staying with her for the next week to help with aftercare while she recovers. I'll have my computer with me but there's no guarantee I'll have time to update.

Regular updates should resume on the 5th of October.

I consider that a moral victory. If you'd gone for the boring space victory, you would have won it easily. Instead you decided to make it interesting.

As for your next videos, I would like to see you try out Civ 6, once it's released.
