00:10Whether the demigod protagonist of the Epic of Gilgamesh referred to a real Sumerian king,
00:16or existed only in imagination, is unknown. But if his tall tales represent a fraction of reality,
00:24then we can ascertain that he was likely very hunky, suave, and a little toxic.
00:31As Gilgamesh, you're looking for your Enkidu, your friend to the end.
00:37As such, Gilgamesh's agenda stirs the pot, encouraging opposing civs to compete for the perks of your everlasting friendship.
00:47Should you and your new bestie stay exclusive and go to war with the world, extra war support is your
00:55relationship's reward.
00:57And for every enemy unit defeated, bonus influence will fuel endeavor after endeavor.
01:05Because even when things get tough, you and your Enkidu for life can gossip and connive all you like,
01:12while other civs look on enviously. As Gilgamesh, it's truly you and your best friend against the world.
01:21As long as they serve your agenda, of course.
01:24Consider pairing Gilgamesh with Assyria in the Antiquity Age to win a new technology for every captured settlement.
01:33Then unlock the Tupsharutu Civic to add codices to every settlement treasure heap.
01:39Or choose a different path all your own.
01:43But whatever you build, remember to build something you believe in.
