| 1s | passing the turn we really need to find |
|---|---|
| 3s | that other Village and instead we find |
| 5s | something a little terrifying and that |
| 8s | imperious is here just to the south of |
| 10s | us fruit |
| 13s | fruit and picking up and |
| 17s | explore come on please no no don't go |
| 22s | that way hey we got to find zazi one of |
| 25s | the benefits of exploring is you get to |
| 27s | see a lot more of the map and simanti ho |
| 30s | oh my goodness this Explorer is |
| 32s | golden I got distracted by the ice being |
| 35s | created over here as we now know our |
| 36s | fourth opponent is |
| 39s | Polaris oh man ain't that a shame we're |
| 43s | going to lose the city or are we so all |
| 46s | the way down here we still have a lot of |
| 49s | amphibians you're a veteran I want you |
| 50s | to heal up just again it's not too great |
| 53s | so we're just going to flood this tile |
| 55s | we just continue to paint uh you know |
| 57s | just we're just going to continue |
| 58s | painting the ground isn't it beautiful |
| 60s | you know just we're going to Bob Ross |
| 62s | this uh entire |
| 63s | map flood the entire |
| 68s | map |
| 74s | interesting we going to throw this unit |
| 76s | in oh it just barely doesn't work |
| 80s | out that is unfortunate oh ooh ooh ooh |
| 85s | ooh ooh I see it I see what needs to be |
| 88s | done I need you to hit here run run all |
| 90s | the way on |
| 92s | back you get to move here and then you |
| 95s | get to secure the siege there we go look |
| 97s | at that now it's properly |
| 101s | ours attack here move over here in order |
| 104s | to find the corner flood that tile |
| 111s | up |
| 113s | oof we'll just continue flooding on |
| 115s | tiles you know what we're just going to |
| 117s | continue flooding tiles and just start |
| 118s | moving our units forward cuz at this |
| 120s | point we can start really just |
| 122s | overwhelming our opponents with sheer |
| 123s | numbers thanks to our Superior economy |
| 126s | because we were able to buy the time |
| 127s | that we need it so this crab is going to |
| 129s | go aad and secure this kill and move on |
| 131s | back and one other thing especially in a |
| 135s | situation like this that we can do is |
| 139s | jelly Tech cuz when jellies move |
| 143s | including when they are trained they |
| 144s | deal damage to all the nearby units that |
| 147s | allows us to secure this kill over here |
| 150s | it's all beautiful look at that it is |
| 152s | working out perfectly for us we're going |
| 155s | to continue to throw all these units |
| 159s | forward yes this is the true power of |
| 162s | Aquarion it is about time for us to |
| 164s | start overwhelming our opponent's forces |
| 167s | but the tricky thing is is how are we |
| 169s | going to get onto the land now we do |
| 171s | have these crabs and they do make a |
| 173s | really good slow offense but I do have |
| 177s | some other texts that I kind of want to |
| 178s | pick up if we pick up forestry here in |
| 182s | mathematics it gives us access to the |
| 184s | puffer unit which unfortunately we can't |
| 187s | use this turn but it will allow us to |
| 192s | start |
| 194s | considering a flooding tiles from afar |
| 197s | we could definitely do something with |
| 199s | that I I got a check double check who |
| 202s | hasn't moved yet oh this amphibian it |
| 205s | wants me to attack no we really don't |
| 207s | need to we're just going to pass the |
| 208s | turn we don't have to track every single |
| 211s | turn that |
| 219s | happens oh no they killed my uh crab |
| 222s | that's actually kind of |
| 227s | sad move you over here |
| 231s | attack move you down here move you up |
| 233s | here and we're just going to deal with |
| 235s | all these Defenders by not even |
| 236s | attacking them we're just going to say |
| 238s | okay that's a really cool story but you |
| 240s | know I'm just going |
| 242s | to just set up in order to Siege the |
| 244s | city down here as I'm completely |
| 246s | flooding all your |
| 253s | tiles all right continue moving |
| 257s | forward |
| 264s | ooh I really need to hold a defense here |
| 266s | so we're kind of spam out jellies now |
| 269s | tentacle don't stack but it does make it |
| 272s | where if they kill a jelly then we can |
| 274s | start dealing with all the other units |
| 275s | so a couple of jellies here are really |
| 277s | going to do what we need them to do |
| 279s | train a couple puffers over |
| 281s | here couple sharks in order to quickly |
| 284s | fortify all these defenses paint the |
| 287s | ground and we're Bob rossing the |
| 291s | map train a couple more puffers |
| 295s | here there we |
| 297s | go yeah that that that definitely works |
| 300s | out for me I approve of |
| 304s | this now even if I put a jelly here |
| 307s | while it deals damage on moving if our |
| 309s | opponent trains units here it's not |
| 311s | going to suddenly cause them to just |
| 314s | lose a lot of their unit man that's a |
| 316s | lot of swordsman really don't want to |
| 317s | lose all my units but I think our |
| 320s | opponent's not giving us too much of a |
| 322s | choice |
| 334s | it's a lot of puffers we're getting so |
| 336s | we'll be able to see the benefit these |
| 337s | puffers going to give |
| 339s | us here in just a moment and I need |
| 343s | another amphibian for that extra |
| 345s | Mobility oh I meant to capture why did I |
| 347s | forget to capture oh this recording's |
| 350s | been going on for over an hour that's |
| 352s | why look at that a lot of free damage is |
| 355s | being |
| 358s | dealt I really been to capture that all |
| 361s | right you attack go here |
| 364s | you |
| 373s | attack go here go |
| 379s | here man the fact that they move forward |
| 382s | so slowly makes things really difficult |
| 384s | you flood |
| 388s | here this you this city is full on unit |
| 391s | so what I'm going to go ahead and do is |
| 392s | attack this tile here which is a going |
| 395s | to deal a lot of damage cuz the puffer |
| 397s | still has the same four attack that a |
| 399s | catapult has that this unit replaces but |
| 402s | look at that the tile is now flooded |
| 405s | allowing us to move on that tile a lot |
| 408s | better and then this puffer I really |
| 411s | actually want to go ahead and secure The |
| 413s | Siege here like so and move forward over |
| 418s | there |
| 422s | and H I'm Bob rosting this we're |
| 425s | painting the entire map I can't not |
| 428s | paint the |
| 433s | map all righty so we nearly we pretty |
| 436s | much got all the Texs that we need we |
| 437s | still want speings for Trident to help |
| 439s | clean up any units that we have to deal |
| 442s | with uh but we are still in a pretty |
| 445s | darn good position right |
| 447s | now so that is |
| 450s | definitely something that I'm liking we |
| 452s | got to train ourselves another jelly cuz |
| 454s | look how much it is protecting us in |
| 457s | these |
| 459s | instances going to throw this unit on in |
| 463s | fortunately it |
| 465s | dies oh we can Siege this |
| 470s | here move these puffers |
| 474s | forward Bob Ross |
| 488s | and go ahead and get this free |
| 494s | attack we got a lot of resources at this |
| 497s | point so we're going to go and do what I |
| 499s | was considering a lumber Hots here |
| 501s | Sawmill improve our economy look at that |
| 505s | we're now at 62 Stars a turn this is |
| 507s | just absolutely gorgeous |
| 512s | now here here's what I'm thinking I can |
| 514s | still put a windmill here oops I should |
| 516s | have trained a unit first that'll give |
| 518s | me another crab that's fantastic get a |
| 520s | Marketplace here |
| 523s | but we could go ahead and build a lumber |
| 526s | hot here build a sawmill and we could |
| 529s | finish placing more in these adjacent |
| 533s | tiles so Harvest |
| 536s | fruit oh but I need spiritualism we're |
| 538s | far away from that because of how we're |
| 541s | doing I may just consider philosophy but |
| 543s | I really just want to continue to get as |
| 545s | many stars as possible so we're going to |
| 547s | go ahead and get this |
| 548s | aquafarm ourselves another Aqua |
| 551s | Farm there's not a massive reason to |
| 554s | expand the |
| 556s | borders I mean I could end up placing a |
| 558s | Marketplace here and a sawmill here you |
| 561s | know what that's another big thing of |
| 564s | economy by doing this so in this case |
| 566s | we're going to play in for the late game |
| 567s | so hunt clear this full Forest build a |
| 572s | Windmill |
| 574s | Market clear this |
| 577s | forest and lumber hot plus a sawmill for |
| 582s | even better economy plus leveling up our |
| 584s | city getting us another crab and again |
| 586s | improving our economy all this is |
| 588s | working out so |
| 591s | nicely who hasn't moved yet oh it wants |
| 593s | me to move the crab out no I'd rather |
| 595s | see each of the city thank you |
| 600s | o we're now dealing Splash attacks from |
| 607s | [Music] |
| 613s | simanti flood this tile |
| 633s | going to go continue to move these units |
| 635s | forward paint |
| 643s | everything that's a lot of jellies |
| 650s | here we can |
| 653s | actually start dealing damage to all of |
| 656s | these units and I really actually want |
| 658s | to go ahead and take care of that so |
| 659s | we're just flood that towel |
| 662s | here get this crab on over to |
| 668s | [Music] |
| 670s | there flood here ooh that's the |
| 677s | capital move this crab on |
| 679s | [Music] |
| 681s | back you know what we're going to just |
| 683s | use these puffers to start clearing out |
| 686s | the units that I don't want to be |
| 688s | dealing with move this jelly on back so |
| 690s | if the swordsman tries to move on |
| 691s | forward it's killing itself but we'll |
| 693s | train a jelly in order to finish off the |
| 695s | centipede and now this swordsman's in |
| 697s | for a bad |
| 701s | time we'll go ahead and continue to |
| 703s | start flooding these tiles start moving |
| 704s | these jellies forward cuz look at that |
| 706s | we're able to advance thanks to these |
| 710s | puffers I'm going to go ahead and pick |
| 712s | up the philosophy technology to make |
| 715s | everything cheaper and then pick up this |
| 717s | city over here it is way too expensive |
| 720s | but it's it's fine it's fine it's it's |
| 725s | fine now to kind of build in a hole in |
| 729s | order to connect everything up I guess I |
| 731s | don't really need |
| 734s | to continue to heal up all of my |
| 741s | veterans capture this city down |
| 744s | [Music] |
| 745s | here continue Bob rossing the edge of |
| 748s | the map |
| 753s | can start moving these other crabs |
| 760s | forward there's not too much for us to |
| 763s | train at the current moment so we're |
| 764s | just going to pass the |
| 769s | [Music] |
| 770s | turn now you're going to start seeing |
| 773s | something that's going to be a challenge |
| 774s | for us we're playing now against one of |
| 777s | the better dry lands kind of tribes |
| 780s | which is siman with the aqua |
| 783s | tribe of |
| 786s | Aquarion so really is going to come down |
| 789s | to how well can we invade their |
| 793s | territory which right now it's looking |
| 795s | okay but I'm throwing in units that I |
| 797s | really |
| 798s | shouldn't oh |
| 800s | man really throwing in units that I |
| 804s | shouldn't CU I should be doing a lot of |
| 806s | these flooding moves like so in order to |
| 810s | start dealing with our opponents so |
| 813s | again we're going to go ahead and just |
| 814s | paint the outer edge of the |
| 818s | map we're going to move really slowly |
| 820s | across the |
| 823s | land and actually one unit that really |
| 826s | would be great against simanti in this |
| 829s | case would be |
| 831s | spearing uh we'll get spearing next turn |
| 833s | I want spiritualism in order to finish |
| 836s | improving my economy even further Lumber |
| 838s | hols |
| 840s | even more stars |
| 844s | there grow Forest Lumber |
| 848s | hot uh |
| 851s | five go Forest Lumber hot this is way |
| 854s | too |
| 856s | expensive it's technically not worth it |
| 859s | but I'm doing it |
| 861s | anyways 85 Stars per turn is pretty darn |
| 863s | good though we going to go ahead and |
| 866s | lumber HS |
| 868s | here Harvest |
| 870s | fruit grow Forest Lumber |
| 873s | H gets us more |
| 876s | resources yes look at |
| 879s | that and I'm going to want to go ahead |
| 881s | and clear these two |
| 885s | tiles o I actually go want to pick up |
| 887s | this destroy teack just so I can get rid |
| 889s | of these ports cuz these ports are doing |
| 890s | nothing for me they're actually harming |
| 892s | me more than they're |
| 894s | helping um you know what we should spend |
| 896s | our last couple of |
| 901s | stars on |
| 907s | units move you |
| 909s | [Music] |
| 917s | forward move you forward so I can break |
| 919s | this ice I can move this jelly here to's |
| 922s | get rid of the |
| 925s | poisoner yeah plus that's a free heal |
| 928s | thanks to uh simanti giving us the |
| 933s | mycelium so that's that's going to be |
| 935s | beneficial for |
| 937s | us oo we're really going to want to pick |
| 939s | up aquatis for that Aqua the uh water |
| 941s | defense here in just a |
| 947s | moment amphibian |
| 951s | amphibian paint |
| 953s | [Music] |
| 957s | everything s a |
| 962s | mill another |
| 964s | crab get ourselves another |
| 967s | Marketplace 91 Stars per turn yeah |
| 970s | that's that's pretty good but that's |
| 972s | that's how larger Maps tend to work is |
| 975s | you definitely get to really focus a lot |
| 978s | on that economy without feeling too too |
| 988s | punished look look at all these units |
| 990s | trying to move in this dumu just dealt |
| 992s | six damage to itself because it moved |
| 995s | into range of a jelly killed a jelly and |
| 998s | then which moved into the range of a |
| 999s | second Jelly to deal even more |
| 1002s | damage yeah this is |
| 1006s | fine we're going to go ahead and |
| 1008s | continue to flood all of these |
| 1018s | tiles go ahead and get ourselves another |
| 1020s | jelly in order to secure the kill |
| 1022s | training a unit in order to secure a |
| 1025s | kill is something nobody's really going |
| 1027s | to be |
| 1034s | expecting go ahead and continue to move |
| 1036s | forward with our |
| 1047s | units hm all right so how do I want |
| 1050s | to attempt to close this |
| 1054s | out we're going to attack here move here |
| 1057s | to move this unit |
| 1060s | here so that way I could double move |
| 1062s | here into |
| 1065s | here because the biggest goal is I'm |
| 1067s | trying to move my units into |
| 1073s | range flood this tile flood this tile |
| 1077s | flood this tile |
| 1085s | [Music] |
| 1086s | two three cool it's in range there oo a |
| 1089s | siren that doesn't quite do as much for |
| 1092s | us though |
| 1093s | unfortunately uh we're going to go ahead |
| 1094s | and pick up free |
| 1097s | spirit and start picking up tridion as |
| 1100s | these units will most certainly be |
| 1103s | helpful in securing the |
| 1106s | game as everyone is typically aware of |
| 1109s | what tensions can do uh but |
| 1112s | unfortunately their abilities have |
| 1114s | changed and really it's probably for the |
| 1116s | best we'll cover them here in just a |
| 1120s | moment once we finish up this turn |
| 1123s | deciding how else to maximize our |
| 1127s | profits go ahead and just destroy the |
| 1129s | building Maybe |
| 1141s | clear this tile in order to get |
| 1143s | ourselves a |
| 1146s | windmill yeah why |
| 1150s | not and we're just going to pass the |
| 1152s | turn I've got plenty of |
| 1160s | units they're moving their units into my |
| 1163s | range so they're just killing themselves |
| 1165s | again don't mind if I do |
| 1167s | [Music] |
| 1174s | so trenin no longer have escaped they |
| 1178s | now have persist instead this unit can |
| 1180s | keep attacking as long as it completely |
| 1181s | kills its |
| 1183s | victim which yeah we can absolutely here |
| 1189s | use to our |
| 1192s | advantage attack here move on over and |
| 1197s | also gain ourselves more vision and then |
| 1199s | secure this |
| 1202s | Siege which then allows us to move our |
| 1204s | unit here in order to flood even more |
| 1207s | tiles and then we can secure The Siege |
| 1210s | with a different unit oh yeah it's all |
| 1212s | coming |
| 1216s | together at this point we're really just |
| 1218s | trying to maximize how often we're able |
| 1225s | to hit our opponent's units with |
| 1234s | there we |
| 1235s | go |
| 1238s | perfect flood here so we can go and |
| 1240s | Siege their last |
| 1248s | City move over here so I can go ahead |
| 1250s | and secure this kill and then I go ahead |
| 1253s | and attack over |
| 1255s | here which then allows us once again to |
| 1257s | move over here and then just start |
| 1259s | securing all these |
| 1265s | kills dang just barely didn't work out |
| 1269s | oh |
| 1270s | well this is |
| 1272s | [Music] |
| 1274s | fine move this puffer over move you on |
| 1277s | over |
| 1278s | here and this is going to hurt but I |
| 1281s | kind of have |
| 1282s | to go ahead and get ourselves another |
| 1284s | tridion to deal with more of sity |
| 1290s | and I think |
| 1292s | I'd rather move back onto this |
| 1303s | mountain okay so how do we want to |
| 1306s | continue to pursue our Naval Invasion |
| 1309s | we're going to be doing this slow and |
| 1310s | steady so I need more puffers um |
| 1313s | definitely going to need more |
| 1315s | jellies I could also consider strategy |
| 1318s | in order to get Defenders or even just |
| 1321s | uh get ourselves swords |
| 1324s | Maids Just Some solid land units right |
| 1328s | there got to continue painting the |
| 1330s | entire ground move you on over |
| 1333s | here isn't it |
| 1340s | [Music] |
| 1343s | beautiful continue to move everything on |
| 1345s | forward is my economy good enough feel |
| 1349s | like it |
| 1351s | is so here's what we're going to go |
| 1352s | ahead and do we're just going to go |
| 1354s | ahead and continue to just lomber halt |
| 1357s | you know what I want Smithy we're to get |
| 1359s | those swords Maids we we'll need them |
| 1362s | but not from there that way we could |
| 1364s | also pick up a forge |
| 1369s | here and get ourselves another |
| 1372s | crab destroy this |
| 1375s | building grow Forest L H |
| 1382s | six almost perfect grow Forest lber |
| 1388s | hot then we're four away so this city |
| 1390s | won't be gaining any more levels but |
| 1392s | we've improved our economy thanks to the |
| 1395s | market we can also get another Forest |
| 1399s | lot here just to improve |
| 1401s | this |
| 1403s | and yeah that's that's a good economy we |
| 1405s | got rolling right there five more stars |
| 1408s | I can still |
| 1410s | I get two pops |
| 1412s | anywhere we actually can Harvest fruit |
| 1417s | here I really don't want |
| 1422s | to I guess I really don't have to |
| 1425s | then we won't then we're not going to do |
| 1428s | that cuz I'd rather be getting other |
| 1431s | units past this turn |
| 1441s | dang it's going to be really hard to |
| 1443s | attack in land against San woohoo wealth |
| 1447s | Monument too much |
| 1453s | economy move here move here and again |
| 1456s | we're really just trying to move |
| 1458s | Inland as much as |
| 1465s | possible get ourselves another puffer so |
| 1467s | we can attack inland essentially for |
| 1470s | [Music] |
| 1473s | free oops minor misplay I should |
| 1476s | actually be we're going to destroy this |
| 1478s | building despite us giving us a |
| 1480s | pop cuz we're going to go ahead and |
| 1482s | secure all of these |
| 1496s | kills o |
| 1500s | I'd like to just heal up these uh crabs |
| 1503s | so we're going to move these crabs on |
| 1504s | back does make it tricky for us to |
| 1506s | secure a Siege |
| 1508s | but we'll work it |
| 1514s | out continue moving forward painting the |
| 1517s | ground |
| 1535s | is there any more text I need pretty |
| 1537s | much just |
| 1539s | aquatis and I can pick up strategy and |
| 1541s | diplomacy but we'll pick them up when we |
| 1544s | need them so go ahead and finish |
| 1546s | capturing for imperious and at this |
| 1548s | point we've got a good balance of units |
| 1551s | in order to really deal with everything |
| 1552s | we need we can continue to flood tiles |
| 1556s | send puffers forward and then clean |
| 1558s | everything up with our Trident which is |
| 1561s | essentially what Aquarion is trying to |
| 1563s | accomplish in the late game so we got to |
| 1567s | see a beautiful line of how to get from |
| 1569s | the early game and in this case we |
| 1571s | actually got kind of Lucky with how |
| 1572s | strong early game ended up being and how |
| 1575s | to get to that late game so we can |
| 1577s | actually start playing with all the fun |
| 1581s | stuff at this point we will be wanting |
| 1584s | to move our units forward as fast as |
| 1586s | possible so in these back cities that's |
| 1589s | completely surrounded by land while you |
| 1591s | may be tempted in order to get a unit |
| 1593s | like a shark or even Trident remember |
| 1596s | that it's going to be really really slow |
| 1599s | to get there now it would it's not going |
| 1602s | to be the end of the world if you go |
| 1603s | ahead and just train them up anyways but |
| 1606s | you may want to consider a more reliable |
| 1608s | unit such as an |
| 1610s | amphibian across the land cuz we'll go |
| 1613s | ahead and train Trident back here and |
| 1615s | just do the old uh method of what a |
| 1618s | trident space bam would best be looking |
| 1620s | like go ahead and get this mine get |
| 1623s | ourselves another |
| 1626s | crab so just Trident spam everywhere we |
| 1631s | can Trident really are not the answer in |
| 1634s | every single scenario anymore they're |
| 1636s | more of a support and cleanup unit |
| 1639s | however if you get enough of any unit |
| 1641s | you could probably make it all work out |
| 1643s | anyways |
| 1655s | so now we're going to continue to use |
| 1656s | these puffers to do exactly what we want |
| 1659s | and start cleaning everything up I |
| 1662s | really want to go ahead and weaken a |
| 1663s | unit to a much better |
| 1667s | position CU I would like this trident |
| 1671s | to clean it up |
| 1681s | cuz if we clean this up and secure this |
| 1683s | kill we could veteran him up and boom |
| 1686s | look at |
| 1687s | that we're now actually properly able to |
| 1690s | start dealing with a lot of these units |
| 1692s | get ourselves another |
| 1695s | kill get this attacka rolling here |
| 1698s | secure this kill move this trident |
| 1700s | forward one space kill |
| 1704s | kill move this jelly over here |
| 1712s | kill leveling up cuz why |
| 1716s | not attack secure the kill secure this |
| 1721s | kill and look at that look how much |
| 1723s | pressure we are able to kill off with |
| 1724s | the new Trident units as well as being |
| 1728s | properly supported with a unit like the |
| 1730s | jelly we still haven't even moved this |
| 1732s | crab |
| 1734s | yet which ah you know what we're going |
| 1736s | to go ahead and |
| 1740s | move him over here to |
| 1753s | Siege start moving these crabs forward |
| 1756s | even further these Trident oh Trident do |
| 1759s | move two spaces over the land but as we |
| 1762s | saw earlier sharks do not so from moving |
| 1766s | far out in these incredibly far |
| 1769s | distances you're actually better off |
| 1771s | trading Trident that have to move across |
| 1774s | the flooded lands versus a faster unit |
| 1779s | like the Sharks this shark's been moving |
| 1780s | really slowly through everything I would |
| 1784s | like to get it onto the front lines as |
| 1786s | quickly as |
| 1787s | possible so we're going to train Trident |
| 1791s | here move this unit on forward and we're |
| 1794s | going to want to go ahead and let |
| 1797s | supports with |
| 1800s | sharks so let's go ahead and get some |
| 1802s | sharks out in a |
| 1804s | rolling shark shark move as fast as we |
| 1808s | can to support everything shark shark |
| 1811s | move this puffer |
| 1815s | forward this one's moving across the |
| 1818s | land tiles so we're going to train |
| 1820s | jellies in order to appropriately get in |
| 1823s | the way of our |
| 1825s | opponents and that is what you'll want |
| 1826s | to be looking at oh we missed a Trident |
| 1829s | over here and we still have enough |
| 1832s | Stars even after fully training |
| 1834s | everything up we still have stars to |
| 1837s | improve our economy and that is a |
| 1839s | perfect economy is get training all of |
| 1842s | the strongest units you possibly can in |
| 1843s | every single City and still having Stars |
| 1846s | left over for others so isn't that just |
| 1849s | marvelous in fact we're going to go |
| 1851s | ahead and continue to improve that with |
| 1852s | another Market over |
| 1854s | here clear this |
| 1857s | Forest ferti |
| 1862s | I clear this |
| 1864s | forest and build ourselves another |
| 1869s | Farm uh we actually really need a |
| 1872s | population growth over |
| 1874s | here and it does also get us another |
| 1876s | crab so we can paint even more of the |
| 1879s | tiles with flooded |
| 1882s | tiles isn't it beautiful oh man I've |
| 1885s | still got more units that can't |
| 1887s | move way too many units at this point oh |
| 1890s | no why can't I move all these |
| 1895s | units we're going to go and Veteran you |
| 1897s | up just cuz I can what still hasn't |
| 1900s | moved |
| 1901s | yet oh this amphibian okay we'll flood |
| 1904s | that tile up and pass the |
| 1907s | turn all of these units are trying to |
| 1909s | move forward to deal with jellies and |
| 1911s | they have nearly killed themselves just |
| 1913s | by doing that |
| 1920s | as we remember we're doing perfectly |
| 1922s | fine on economy so we're going to go |
| 1925s | ahead and just pick up the last of the |
| 1926s | couple attacks and then |
| 1930s | capture sure we won't be able to train |
| 1932s | every unit in every single City this |
| 1933s | upcoming turn but this point it really |
| 1936s | probably doesn't make too much of a |
| 1938s | difference we're just doing whatever we |
| 1940s | feel like and are trying to close out |
| 1941s | this game |
| 1951s | go ahead and secure that |
| 1953s | there secure this kill |
| 1955s | here level up this amphibian and then we |
| 1958s | can just move them on over to here next |
| 1961s | just going to go ahead and secure this |
| 1973s | kill go secure here attack and move |
| 1977s | forward we're going to continue need to |
| 1978s | just move forward with our units see |
| 1980s | what else we can |
| 1983s | do move this on forward move this on |
| 1986s | forward move this on forward secure this |
| 1988s | kill over |
| 1996s | here yeah I guess I'm just going to go |
| 1998s | ahead and just flood up these |
| 2005s | tiles like to secure this kill on the |
| 2007s | centipede and then start dealing with |
| 2010s | this dumuk right over |
| 2014s | here really want this crab to go ahead |
| 2016s | and heal it |
| 2018s | up want this not to be |
| 2024s | [Music] |
| 2028s | poisoned go ahead and auto move you on |
| 2031s | forward and at this point we're just now |
| 2033s | going to start moving all of our units |
| 2035s | forward even further flood this tile |
| 2041s | continue to move everything forward as |
| 2042s | much as |
| 2045s | possible destroy these ports that aren't |
| 2047s | doing anything for us yeah those are |
| 2049s | just getting the way at this |
| 2051s | point O I actually lost a little bit of |
| 2055s | [Music] |
| 2056s | population I could fix that |
| 2070s | [Music] |
| 2074s | so here's what we're going to do we're |
| 2075s | going to go ahead and destroy this |
| 2076s | building do |
| 2078s | it build ourselves a forge |
| 2081s | here build ourselves another |
| 2085s | mine build a |
| 2087s | market which allows us to build a |
| 2089s | windmill |
| 2091s | here get a |
| 2094s | crab get a sawmill here |
| 2098s | [Music] |
| 2100s | and then we're just going to continue at |
| 2102s | this point improving our military so |
| 2104s | let's just zip every unit forward and |
| 2107s | it's time to micromanage all |
| 2125s | that all right um well we we actually |
| 2129s | kind of need to figure out what we're |
| 2130s | going to go ahead and |
| 2133s | do military wise now a couple of our |
| 2135s | cities are actually maxed out on |
| 2142s | pops man I would like to get more |
| 2145s | jellies but I think what I really need |
| 2148s | is puffers on this side over |
| 2151s | here just so that way we can |
| 2156s | start taking care of of the Eastern |
| 2165s | front here we go and unfortunately that |
| 2168s | takes care of that I think the last unit |
| 2171s | really is going to be this crap oh nope |
| 2173s | there's this jelly that needs to move |
| 2174s | forward really slowly that's |
| 2178s | fine and we're not going to move forward |
| 2180s | with this unit at this point we pretty |
| 2182s | much have everything that we need |
| 2192s | all right we're going to go ahead just |
| 2193s | capture these cities there's no reason |
| 2195s | for us not to |
| 2205s | anymore unfortunately there's no reason |
| 2207s | for us to expand the borders so we're |
| 2209s | going to get that population |
| 2215s | growth and yeah it's pretty watch about |
| 2218s | time for us to just finish clearing |
| 2219s | everything |
| 2220s | up we're going to disband this trident |
| 2223s | in order to get our stars back |
| 2252s | o man I really need to try in over |
| 2274s | here o now these sharks are apparently |
| 2277s | not not going to be the best |
| 2279s | unit for dealing with all this so we're |
| 2283s | really going to try to get these puffers |
| 2285s | into a better |
| 2299s | position move all these forward |
| 2311s | and again continue to just move |
| 2312s | everything |
| 2321s | forward try to get these puffers into |
| 2324s | the water as quickly as possible |
| 2328s | [Music] |
| 2333s | [Music] |
| 2343s | [Music] |
| 2355s | oh man a lot of micromanagement what |
| 2358s | still hasn't |
| 2359s | moved ah this trident all the way over |
| 2361s | here there we go so now everything's |
| 2363s | moved yeah turn 31 it's pretty apparent |
| 2366s | that we're the ones that going to win |
| 2367s | cuz we literally have so many units they |
| 2369s | almost fill up the entire screen and |
| 2372s | we're not even playing with diplomacy in |
| 2374s | order to use these scuba units yet which |
| 2377s | is basically just cloaks but the mermaid |
| 2381s | version now the best way to go ahead and |
| 2383s | finish this off is we're going to get |
| 2385s | some puffers in order to deal with that |
| 2387s | uh I can't even see what tiles |
| 2389s | everything's working on there's too much |
| 2392s | stuff |
| 2416s | just going to go ahead and continue to |
| 2418s | build up the economy as much as |
| 2421s | possible so at this point why not |
| 2425s | [Music] |
| 2432s | and more |
| 2437s | crabs hunt clear this Forest we're going |
| 2440s | to go and build a mine |
| 2442s | here get ourselves a |
| 2445s | crab figure out how much we can level up |
| 2448s | this city right from the |
| 2451s | get-go |
| 2455s | Forge build ourselves a market |
| 2466s | build a farm let's get ourselves another |
| 2470s | crab more |
| 2481s | windmills and we're just going to |
| 2482s | continue to fertilize and place these |
| 2485s | Farms fertilize and place these Farms |
| 2488s | which is cheaper than the alternative |
| 2489s | method of grow Forest then burn down |
| 2492s | then grow Farm three crabs in a single |
| 2495s | turn isn't it |
| 2498s | beautiful I think I could still squeeze |
| 2500s | out maybe one |
| 2504s | more |
| 2508s | fertilize |
| 2511s | Farm oh it's going to be really close |
| 2513s | actually I think I'm going to be just |
| 2516s | short actually so Lumber |
| 2519s | Hots |
| 2523s | Sawmill fish and then if I clear this |
| 2527s | forest and build a lumber halt here we |
| 2530s | can get a fourth |
| 2538s | crab look at those jellies doing |
| 2541s | beautiful work this dumu is now |
| 2546s | dead we need to get get rid of these |
| 2549s | fungi those are just hurting my advance |
| 2552s | so much with the potential of |
| 2555s | poison go ahead and secure this kill |
| 2559s | here and with this we can |
| 2564s | then |
| 2565s | [Music] |
| 2569s | finish flood this tile |
| 2573s | [Music] |
| 2580s | [Music] |
| 2585s | [Music] |
| 2586s | continue to flood all these |
| 2594s | [Music] |
| 2602s | tiles go ah and continue to farm these |
| 2605s | up |
| 2609s | I mean with that I'm I can continue to |
| 2612s | just maximize everything on the map but |
| 2614s | I think y'all get the idea on how each |
| 2616s | of the units get to Excel and what they |
| 2619s | should be used for crabs are fantastic |
| 2621s | as being able to in the mid to late game |
| 2625s | once you start spamming even if it's |
| 2626s | just one to multiple out with the autof |
| 2629s | flood in order to get water onto the |
| 2632s | board to give your units the advantage |
| 2635s | now |
| 2636s | note if even though we have the aquatis |
| 2639s | tech here the Sharks and all of my units |
| 2641s | on flooded tiles are not receiving the |
| 2645s | extra defensive bonus that is because |
| 2648s | flooded tiles do not count towards the |
| 2652s | defense bonus cuz it's specifically on |
| 2654s | shallow water and ocean |
| 2656s | tiles so you won't be able to give |
| 2658s | yourself a free defensive bonus by doing |
| 2661s | so unfortunate but it's it's probably |
| 2664s | for the best |
| 2673s | we're just going to continue to move |
| 2674s | these crabs |
| 2677s | [Music] |
| 2680s | forward so many |
| 2684s | crabs am I missing any more crabs I |
| 2687s | don't think so I think that's all the |
| 2689s | crabs we're going past the |
| 2692s | turn oh goodness they still have more |
| 2698s | tiles Le they still have another city |
| 2699s | here in the back I don't know how I |
| 2701s | didn't realize that well time for |
| 2721s | crab go move over here get ourselves a |
| 2724s | free |
| 2726s | attack and continue to just move all of |
| 2729s | our units over in order to deal with uh |
| 2734s | bug in the game |
| 2773s | wonder if I'll be able to finish |
| 2774s | painting the entire map before uh kill |
| 2777s | off same ante from the looks of it |
| 2780s | probably |
| 2782s | [Music] |
| 2784s | not cuz we've got a very strong wrong |
| 2788s | position against |
| 2804s | them go and get these puffers up and |
| 2810s | rolling cuz we got plenty of units the |
| 2814s | crabs are able to go onto our opponent's |
| 2817s | cities and absolutely stop anything they |
| 2819s | hope to do that's a single kill that's a |
| 2822s | second single |
| 2825s | [Music] |
| 2837s | [Music] |
| 2845s | kill two |
| 2848s | H don't know it's going to be pretty |
| 2853s | close as long as I get all the crabs |
| 2856s | [Music] |
| 2864s | [Music] |
| 2868s | everywhere hey it looks like we might |
| 2870s | actually be able to finish flooding all |
| 2872s | the tiles |
| 2894s | flood the |
| 2900s | tile we did end |
| 2905s | up being able to flood the entire world |
| 2908s | by the end of the |
| 2910s | game fantastic m is the power of |
| 2915s | Aquarion and we got to answer quite a |
| 2917s | few questions too about like how they |
| 2919s | interact with Polaris how well they |
| 2921s | could do against |
| 2922s | simanti uh and that is once you get |
| 2925s | enough of the uh ranged units you can |
| 2927s | clean up siman's weak defense pretty |
| 2930s | dang well the biggest downside is you |
| 2932s | got to get past the early game struggles |
| 2936s | that aquar deals with and that's economy |
| 2939s | now in this case we ended up being able |
| 2940s | to go overboard cuz the game was on a |
| 2942s | large map so we got to |
| 2945s | absolutely spam the game out with |
| 2947s | marketplaces and not have a single issue |
| 2950s | with economy uh but in a normal game |
| 2952s | you're going to find out that you're |
| 2954s | barely not going to have enough Stars so |
| 2957s | again just take into heed of what was |
| 2959s | covered at the start of the video and |
| 2961s | that is really figuring out what is the |
| 2963s | best way to level up your early cities |
| 2966s | as well as how to defend yourself until |
| 2969s | you get to a good point now markets are |
| 2972s | not going to be your typical goto thing |
| 2974s | so your Best Bets are going to be |
| 2976s | waterways get at TOS in order to level |
| 2978s | up your Capital with hopefully very few |
| 2980s | at placements cuz I ended up in this |
| 2982s | game placing down one two I think just |
| 2985s | two and that two connected one two |
| 2988s | cities 3 four five just for the cost of |
| 2992s | 10 Stars I connected five cities to my |
| 2994s | Capital which is really really strong |
| 2997s | now of course that's something similar |
| 2999s | that siman could do with their mycelium |
| 3001s | where the melium is highly limited based |
| 3003s | on forests whereas ours as long as we |
| 3006s | get flooded terrain everywhere we can |
| 3010s | absolutely spam out Road Connections to |
| 3013s | all of our cities for instance all I got |
| 3015s | to do is just make all these connections |
| 3018s | right over here there's another one over |
| 3021s | there and everything else is connected |
| 3023s | thanks to the |
| 3024s | melium uh oh and I guess one more over |
| 3027s | here where is it going to be a toll |
| 3032s | there you go so now everything's |
| 3033s | connected I could have probably done |
| 3035s | that a little better but it does not |
| 3036s | take a lot of its holes in order to |
| 3038s | connect your cities especially if you're |
| 3040s | very careful about the |
| 3042s | placements um and yeah so you want to |
| 3046s | spam out crabs level up your cities that |
| 3048s | also improves your economy by doing so |
| 3051s | you'll be able to get highly defensive |
| 3053s | units such as the jelly |
| 3057s | which will make it to where you them |
| 3059s | using their traditional Riders and |
| 3061s | knights are not going to work very well |
| 3063s | including Defenders are not a very good |
| 3066s | unit against a jelly and even if they |
| 3068s | try to upgrade into something such as a |
| 3070s | rammer rammers deal damage to themselves |
| 3073s | so the only real way to deal with |
| 3075s | jellies are ranged units such as archers |
| 3077s | scouts or bombers in a well-placed |
| 3081s | position then you have the puffer |
| 3084s | that'll give you the drench ability to |
| 3086s | flood tiles but notice we did a majority |
| 3090s | of our flooding thanks to these crabs |
| 3092s | and that is a crab's primary job because |
| 3095s | of their High defense you want them to |
| 3098s | secure kills on land tiles to flood it |
| 3101s | and then move to a secondary tile to |
| 3103s | flood those as well not at the cost of |
| 3106s | losing a crab mind you you really want |
| 3109s | to try to get the best bang for your |
| 3111s | buck with your 40 Health five defense |
| 3115s | units this is the units with the highest |
| 3117s | defense in the game so crabs especially |
| 3120s | if they go onto a defensive tile such as |
| 3122s | a mountain and get a defense bonus or |
| 3127s | and a water-based map over here onto the |
| 3129s | ocean or the water these crabs are going |
| 3133s | to be |
| 3134s | insanely difficult to kill and they're |
| 3136s | going to be your primary front line unit |
| 3140s | sharks notice we tried using them they |
| 3142s | definitely had their uses and we really |
| 3145s | didn't lose any sharks |
| 3147s | but sharks are really expensive for what |
| 3150s | you get shark primary ability is to use |
| 3153s | surprise in order to deal free damage |
| 3156s | without taking retaliation so just |
| 3158s | consider them a unit that could deal |
| 3160s | damage for |
| 3162s | free but unfortunately they don't really |
| 3164s | have the defensive stats to protect |
| 3167s | themselves so you really want to use |
| 3169s | other units to protect your sharks cuz |
| 3171s | if you can keep your sharks alive you |
| 3174s | could start killing a lot of the enemy |
| 3177s | units essentially for free but if you |
| 3179s | are very careful with sharks if you're |
| 3182s | very careful with the jellies you could |
| 3185s | then set up a whole bunch of units to |
| 3187s | have low Health in order to let your |
| 3190s | tridion clean them up with the persist |
| 3194s | ability now tridion because they no |
| 3196s | longer have Escape are throwing |
| 3198s | themselves in |
| 3200s | danger so you really want to make sure |
| 3202s | that you have units in front such as |
| 3204s | sharks or more so like jellies or even |
| 3207s | even better yet a crab that can protect |
| 3209s | your Trident so your Trident can clean |
| 3212s | all of the units |
| 3215s | up that is essentially how you get to |
| 3218s | play Aquarion in 35 turns against four |
| 3222s | AI bots on crazy difficulty on a large |
| 3225s | map I hope y'all all learned something |
| 3227s | from this if y'all want to go ahead and |
| 3229s | pick it up now is going to be an |
| 3230s | excellent time as this tribe has a lot |
| 3233s | of uniqueness to offer including a whole |
| 3236s | bunch of Wonderful ful flavor so if |
| 3238s | you're looking for something absolutely |
| 3240s | new and not wanting to deal with bugs or |
| 3243s | ponies or ice then you now have the |
| 3246s | power of water on your side and you can |
| 3249s | bring a dry lands map into a fully |
| 3252s | flooded map allowing bomber gam playay |
| 3257s | it has a lot of interesting |
| 3259s | implications but as yall saw Aquarion is |
| 3262s | slow invading land |
| 3264s | so if you are excited for water based |
| 3267s | maps and want to have a new change of |
| 3270s | gameplay or have a lot of units that you |
| 3272s | don't really get to |
| 3274s | see a lot of pick up Aquarion tribe as |
| 3278s | soon as you possibly can I hope y'all |
| 3282s | are excited for them because I know I |
| 3284s | will continue to play them in the nearby |
| 3286s | future see y'all again next |
| 3293s | time dang |
| 3297s | all |
