TheCivShow Podcast

We sit down with SassyGamerLady, one of the participants for #TheCivGive2021, and we talk about what it's like to be a female on Twitch. We also talk about TheCivGive, last Sunday, and why Moy drinks WifeBeater beers... apparently. --- PATREON SHOUTOUTS Thank you to all the Warlord and higher patrons!

Civilization Beyond Earth was released back in 2014 as an "in-between" game between Civilization V and Civilization VI. When it first came out, people were thrown off about the game not being a historical 4x despite it having the "Civilization" branding; with many agreeing that it, "Just didn't feel like Civ."  Last Sunday, Zo and Moy recently tried Beyond Earth and were genuinely surprised a...

Ever wondered how crazy it would be if you received the same bonuses as a Deity AI? 5 warriors, 3 settlers, 3 builders on turn 1, +100% bonus production and gold, +40% bonus Culture, Science, and Faith yields, and +50% combat XP. These bonuses allowed us to produce a lot of units and get to high tech units very quickly. Everyone easily had over 1000 military strength, and at the end of the game, a...

Nystagmus was away last week, leaving Moy and Zo to play against one another. They recruited Owls_of_Daijken and SGNamine_ to assist them, and the result was one of the biggest bloodbaths in TheCivShow history. --- PATREON SHOUTOUTS Thank you to all the Warlord and higher patrons!

Last Sunday on TheCivShow Twitch channel, we all played HUMANKIND in a 5 player FFA game featuring peppermint_butler and VanBradley. We compare some of the mechanics featured in both games like how World Wonders are built. Is HUMANKIND a good game for multiplayer? --- PATREON SHOUTOUTS Thank you to all the Warlord and higher patrons! Segway99,  NileMatotle, and ninthant! --- PATREON ► https:/...

Last week we played a game where the player with the most amount of Era Score by the end of the game was declared the winner. No Science victory, no Culture victory, just pure Era Score. We drafted what we thought were the best civs to generate Era Score, and we played a 4 player FFA map on Seven Seas featuring VanBradley! --- PATREON SHOUTOUTS Thank you to all the Warlord and higher patrons!

We all know that a religious victory is next to impossible in multiplayer with the ability to declare war and murder all of the religious units with military units, resulting in thousands of lost faith. However, for this game, we made a house rule where war was not allowed, and only religious battles can take place. We explore the power of Spain, Russia, Ethiopia, and Brazil and finally figure out...

We wanted to start to break away from the regular win conditions, and want to start making our own. Nystagmus came up with a game involving one of the game modes that was introduced in the New Frontier Pass, Apocalypse Mode. Whoever has the the highest pollution total by the end of the game, is declared the winner. This led to some interesting events involving comets and cities. Who lost the most...

For the first time ever, the 3 hosts team up together, to take on 3 other streamers. Obviously, the motto "We suck, so you don't have to" still applied in this game as Peppermint_Butler led his team to victory with the power of Poland's Winged Hussar's. Zo also learned that Pike and Shots are pretty good against them, but didn't use them anyway. Next week's game: Community day w/ 3 Patreon members...

Moy tries the HUMANKIND Closed Beta and is impressed with the current state of the game. He goes in depth with the differences between Civilization and HUMANKIND, and how HUMANKIND is ahead of Civilization in certain parts of the game. --- PATRON SHOUTOUTS Thank you to all the Warlord and higher patrons!

There's a lot that goes behind the scenes when streaming, and nobody knows that better than one of the original streamers in the Civilization community, TheGameMechanic. TGM sits down and talks to us about where he's been lately, and how streaming can really take a toll on someone's mental health and how we as humans, can respond to it. --- TheGameMechanic YouTube TheGameMechanic Twitch --- PATRON...

Whether you know we dislike Heroes and Legends or not, you can't deny  that some heroes just feel weak while others can completely change the  course of your game. What are your thoughts on Heroes and Legends? --- PATRON SHOUTOUTS Thank you to all the Warlord and higher patrons! Segway99, and Neil Matatall. And shoutout to our newest Patron, TheSharksta17! --- TWITCH ► https://twitch.tv/...

Diplomacy can be something that's easily overlooked. How do you represent your Civilization? Are you looking to take over other empires or looking to work together and trade with one another to better both empires? Each host represents their Civilization differently and today we talk about how that can affect relations with one another and if someone just can't be trusted. --- PATRON SHOUTOUTS Tha...

Moy is so Lawful Evil. No he's not, he's Chaotic Evil! Today, we talk about where on the alignment chart we are. We also talk about last week with Inquisitive Otter and how we got our butts whacked by yet another guest. We give a sneak preview into our next Sunday game is going to look like, and we tried out VektorKat's new SpaceRace challenge! ---  PATRON SHOUTOUTS  Thank you to all the...

Inquisitive Otter is an acclaimed Civ 6 YouTube with over 12k subscribers, making videos trying to make better AI than Civ 6, starting on the South Pole as Mali, and giving everyone a Giant Death Robot on turn 1.

Whenever you think you have an advantage against peppermint_butler, think again. He has a PhD in Civ math, and knows the game inside and out. In this episode, PB talks about what he looks for in a starting position, and what makes a good starting position. We also talk about the evolution of Civ 6 throughout the years, and how it has cultivated a Twitch community. --- PATRON SHOUTOUTS Thank you to...

In this episode, we explore the idea of language, and how important it was in human history. How would Civ implement language? How would this affect the culture victory? --- TWITCH ► https://twitch.tv/TheCivShow​ TWITTER ► https://twitter.com/TheCivShow ​INSTAGRAM ► https://instagram.com/TheCivShow​ DISCORD ► https://discord.com/invite/4zhjFpn ​ PATREON ► https://patreon.com/TheCivShow ABOUT THECI...

The Civilization soundtrack has debatably some of the best music in gaming. From Christopher Tin creating the opening theme, Sogno Di Valare, to Geoff Knorr and Roland Rizzo creating all the individual civilization themes in the game, fans all agree that the music has been a key remembrance point when playing Civilization VI.  Geoff takes us through some of his research process that goes behi...

We had the absolute pleasure to talk to the QA Lead from Firaxis, Carl Harrison, and talk to him about how Civ is balanced and tested. Carl gives insight on the New Frontier Pass, and how he got involved in the Civilization franchise. --- TWITCH ► https://twitch.tv/TheCivShow​ TWITTER ► https://twitter.com/TheCivShow​ INSTAGRAM ► https://instagram.com/TheCivShow​ DISCORD ► https://discord.com/invi...

This is the second last time we will be reading patch notes for Civilization 6: New Frontier Pass. The last update will be a free update in April, where Firaxis will balance 2/3 of all the civs, a big update that they have said they are looking forward to. Stay tuned for April! --- TWITCH ► https://twitch.tv/TheCivShow TWITTER ► https://twitter.com/TheCivShow INSTAGRAM ► https://instagram.com/TheC...

We're so excited to be able to announce our upcoming special guest. Stay tuned until the end of the episode to find out who that is. We also talk about the Portugal First Look video, and argue who is going to play them first. --- TWITCH ► https://twitch.tv/TheCivShow TWITTER ► https://twitter.com/TheCivShow INSTAGRAM ► https://instagram.com/TheCivShow PODCAST ► https://open.spotify.com/show/65cv79...
