| 6s | yo fellow polytopians we've got this |
|---|---|
| 9s | month's tribe Moon polium games some |
| 12s | vengar highlights to show you I'm AO |
| 14s | huny polium champion and joining me |
| 16s | today in commentary cloud hello I'm |
| 18s | Cloud glider and I'm a competitive |
| 20s | polyopia |
| 29s | player |
| 36s | yeah you've got something really |
| 37s | interesting to show me here right what's |
| 39s | going on what's the s all right so right |
| 41s | now we have a match pulled up between |
| 43s | white vengar and yellow venar and yellow |
| 45s | venar here is really threatening a Siege |
| 47s | yeah it seems really uh hard for him to |
| 49s | deal with that well he's trying to push |
| 52s | all these unit uh east of that Village |
| 54s | but he's pop cap there he can't move |
| 55s | that swordsman off or else he's going to |
| 57s | get sieged there well you would think |
| 59s | that he can't move it off but actually |
| 61s | what do you mean actually no way that's |
| 64s | crazy he's gonna get sieged what's he |
| 66s | gonna do about that so we see here |
| 68s | he moves off the village to let himself |
| 72s | get sieged in order to make a play for |
| 74s | this other Village here yeah he's got a |
| 76s | full health of swordsman there and yeah |
| 78s | archery and all these units around |
| 79s | there's nothing supporting that so he's |
| 81s | just going to siege that city right back |
| 84s | and grab the city in the East that's |
| 86s | crazy yeah so we see that this city is |
| 88s | almost completely boxed in so although |
| 90s | he will be giving up the city for one |
| 92s | turn there's no way for his opponent to |
| 94s | really keep the city we also see that he |
| 96s | blocks this Forge spot right here that |
| 98s | prevents his opponent from ganting as |
| 106s | well so Cloud I've got a highlight for |
| 109s | you that shows off our yellow veng gear |
| 111s | player's uh creativity here you see that |
| 114s | Village up there I do it looks like |
| 116s | white venar has two swordsman near it |
| 118s | and is about to capture it yellow venar |
| 120s | has has a swordsman and a warrior in |
| 122s | range but that's not quite enough to |
| 125s | take the city away yeah and if you look |
| 127s | at his yellow venger techs here he |
| 129s | doesn't even have anything that can help |
| 131s | out with that but he's going to Tech all |
| 133s | the way into roads costing 22 Stars |
| 137s | almost his entire like stockpile right |
| 139s | now just so that he can take this |
| 141s | swordsman off the village and capture it |
| 143s | for himself is that really a good idea |
| 145s | it seems like a huge investment for just |
| 147s | one city well it's not just one city |
| 149s | because he used |
| 151s | offensively too the foresight to |
| 154s | recognize that his City's in danger and |
| 156s | that he can defend like this is really |
| 157s | astounding if we skip forward to turn 12 |
| 160s | we'll see that his City here is in |
| 162s | massive danger these two giants anything |
| 164s | he puts on that City even this 38 Health |
| 167s | giant will die to the Giant and The |
| 168s | Archers that he sees there but using |
| 171s | roads he can train riders in Far Away |
| 173s | cities and he uses Swordsmen in tiles |
| 176s | that ordinarily wouldn't reach and he's |
| 177s | able to actually kill The sieging |
| 179s | Swordsman something you don't see every |
| 185s | day here we have a match that really |
| 187s | highlights the dangers of fighting in |
| 189s | the fog white venier here sends his |
| 191s | swordsman into the fog and just hopes |
| 194s | that his opponent doesn't have the unit |
| 196s | steal with it well it looks like he's |
| 197s | right I mean he only has a swordsman and |
| 199s | a warrior here those can't kill a |
| 201s | swordsman by themselves Well normally |
| 203s | you'd be right however tven here goes |
| 205s | for writing and trains a |
| 208s | writer oh yeah I don't think he would |
| 210s | have done that if he didn't have the |
| 212s | vision from the mountain to see the |
| 214s | enemy swordsman approaching the village |
| 216s | Yep this just helps him take over this |
| 218s | Village here yep and being able to take |
| 222s | over this Village here really sets the |
| 224s | tone of the game and allows him to swing |
| 226s | things in his |
| 231s | favor I've got another Replay for you |
| 233s | tell me what you think is going to |
| 234s | happen here well it looks to me like |
| 236s | white fer is in a losing position |
| 238s | they're being sieged by a swordsman |
| 239s | currently there's two giants breathing |
| 241s | down their neck and overall they just |
| 242s | have to deal with higher leveled cities |
| 244s | yeah you'd think it'd be a huge problem |
| 246s | but as it turns out the Giants are all |
| 248s | barking no bite when it comes to facing |
| 250s | catapults if we scroll over to turn 18 |
| 253s | we'll see how our white vengar deals |
| 255s | with this giant deep into his territory |
| 258s | he just absolutely pummels it with his |
| 260s | units and the catapults taking no almost |
| 263s | no retaliation damage just a little bit |
| 266s | of help on his giant and as soon as this |
| 268s | happens there's no hope for the brown |
| 270s | player they can't launch an attack and |
| 272s | our white player even successfully |
| 274s | launches a Counterattack and if we scre |
| 276s | on later we'll see how he completely |
| 279s | eviscerates |
| 293s | him here I have another Replay for you |
| 295s | can you tell me what you think of this |
| 297s | one yeah it looks like they're just |
| 299s | getting into the middle phase of |
| 301s | everything they got these unclaimed |
| 303s | Villages they're fighting over looks |
| 304s | like white has a modest Advantage |
| 306s | stepping on that one Village in the west |
| 308s | already but it seems like it should take |
| 310s | a long time before that converts into |
| 312s | anything yeah you think so right here we |
| 314s | see that brown H kind of picks off some |
| 316s | units some regular plays but white |
| 318s | hudrick here does something pretty |
| 321s | crazy y he steps off the village oh so |
| 325s | he can get that Siege that's killer |
| 327s | that's |
| 328s | killer |
| 332s | how how often do you give up a city when |
| 334s | you're playing a game give up a city why |
| 336s | would I do that well it actually help |
| 338s | you win sometimes win the game how see |
| 341s | our orange player here they really need |
| 343s | to get a Siege on our white vengar so |
| 346s | they're going to move their swordsman in |
| 348s | the only problem is it means that our |
| 350s | white vengar can capture the city with |
| 352s | their two Health Riders which is crazy |
| 354s | enough even surrounded by all those |
| 356s | units the thing is it still works out in |
| 358s | favor of the orange vengar because when |
| 361s | the orange vengar sieges they're going |
| 363s | to land this veteran swordsman on there |
| 366s | that they just promoted that's going to |
| 368s | be a lot harder to get rid of the health |
| 375s | Rider next up we have a match with some |
| 377s | interesting resource rates here we see |
| 379s | that in both the capital and City one |
| 382s | for white venger there's some really bad |
| 384s | resource rates so instead of picking up |
| 385s | an economic Tech white vinker actually |
| 387s | opts to go for archery and we see |
| 389s | because he did that later on on turn 10 |
| 392s | he's able to get this unbreakable Siege |
| 393s | with the help of his archers that really |
| 395s | just completely turns the game in his |
| 401s | favor in a traditional game whoever |
| 404s | controls the water and a map like this |
| 406s | is going to win looking at four whales |
| 409s | Port AIS everywhere the white vanar |
| 412s | player looks like this is going to be |
| 413s | their however that's not the case this |
| 416s | is the story of the that could the pink |
| 418s | player has nothing |
| 420s | to deal with all this water access but |
| 422s | instead they pick up a cloak on their |
| 424s | capital and that cloak is going to walk |
| 426s | walk walk all the way to the very end of |
| 429s | where they pick up a Siege on the |
| 432s | opponent's Capital they also infiltrate |
| 434s | these other two cities that The White |
| 436s | vengar player |
| 438s | has which is going to mean that the |
| 441s | white vengar doesn't have the Stars they |
| 443s | need to pick up a battleship and unsee |
| 445s | their Capital they play out a little bit |
| 448s | but there's nothing they can do capital |
| 450s | and |
| 457s | games here we have a match between white |
| 459s | vanar and yellow venar that looks really |
| 462s | unfavorable for white vanar it looks |
| 465s | like yellow venar has a lot more of the |
| 467s | map and although white vanger has a lone |
| 469s | swordsman here sent off to explore it |
| 471s | still looks like if he loses his Capital |
| 473s | he's going to lose so w vanger knows |
| 475s | that in this situation he has to make |
| 477s | aggressive plays in order to try to push |
| 479s | back and take some of the map looks like |
| 480s | he has the perfect Forge spots to make |
| 482s | some Giants happen here too and lo and |
| 485s | behold that's exactly what he does at |
| 487s | the end of his turn 10 he spawns one |
| 489s | giant and then later on at the end of |
| 491s | his turn 12 we see a second giant what |
| 493s | does he do with his Giants he pushes |
| 496s | them aggressively into his opponent we |
| 498s | see that in a few turns because of his |
| 500s | giant he can land this unbreakable |
| 503s | Siege and right after o that's got to |
| 505s | hurt yep exactly right after once his |
| 508s | opponent realizes like he can't break |
| 510s | The Siege they briefly |
| 517s | resign this game highlights one of the |
| 520s | fundamental things about vengar tactics |
| 522s | that make them so tricky here white |
| 524s | vengar actually knows that green vanger |
| 526s | trained a second Warrior as opposed to a |
| 528s | swordsman because of score counting |
| 529s | normally a swordsman and a warrior are |
| 532s | not enough to dislodge your own |
| 534s | swordsman from going to a village white |
| 536s | venger steps on here but he makes a |
| 538s | mistake it's normally the case but green |
| 540s | vengar can actually stutter his attacks |
| 542s | over the course of two turns turns two |
| 545s | and turns three now he attacks of a |
| 548s | swordsman first on turn two and then |
| 550s | again on turn three so that this Warrior |
| 553s | has enough to kill and take the city |
| 557s | thank you for watching this one's polium |
