That’s a proud smile! Probably because he knows that despite having a useless horse archer (apparently an reoccurring thing in civ6) he still won against the aggressive Nubians. In the time Gengis  Khan discovered humanism the armies of the Nubian empire patrolled the borders and searched for an unprotected city. So the Mongolians had to build encampements and thick walls instead of art museum and theater districts. But even though art was late in dominated! 

Very cool game, was actually pretty calm after I built a ton of military and after 100 turns of having a negative gold income could built some commercial districts. Still, Nubia was very aggressive to all players and constantly having units at my borders, even after we got friendly. I always kept enough income to upgrade all my units ( just in case Nubia changes their mind). 

The wiped out Russians left a good St.Petersburg for me, and France had an awesome religion, with triple tourism value and cathedrals, but Nubians was going for a religion victory so they quickly wiped out the religion of france before I could recruit enough apostles.

In this game everything was late, from the Cristo Redentor to the Broadway, I had to chop all my cities down to get the wonders. 

Prolific electro-pop duo Polo & Pan don’t have any qualms about testing the boundaries. Just check out their latest EP, Gengis, if you need any sort of proof. In a gutsy move, the release is centered around a single track of the same name, featuring four distinct versions of the song: a seven-minute monster, the duo’s own edit, and remixes from Asa Moto and Red Axes.

Gengis is Polo & Pan’s first original release since their 2017 album Caravelle and marks a contextual change from their previous work. The duo, who joined forces after often crossing paths when spinning decks at famous Parisian club Le Baron, have historically produced joyful rave bangers drawing on French melodies. On Gengis, the electronic wizards explore psychedelic elements and tribal-inspired rhythms that guide the listener on a sonic pilgrimage to Club Mecca. In addition to the duo’s own two cuts of the track, the project features Belgian duo Asa Moto’s funk-injected remix that gives the unusual track a deliciously retro feel in tandem with underground Israeli DJs Red Axes’ psilocybin-soaked twist that feels like a heat-induced hallucination.

The two-year gap between Polo & Pans original releases can be attributed to the duo’s relentless touring schedule, featuring two massive appearances at Coachella and shows across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. The duo is set to return to the US this fall, and you can grab tickets to one of the dates below, but in the meantime, check out the various versions of “Gengis” below:
