86s | here to uh try out the Aquarian beta I |
89s | haven't played it yet but I'm looking |
91s | forward to it MH okay welcome to the |
94s | Stream So before we start playing uh |
98s | we'll have a bit of uh you know |
100s | introduction because people uh don't |
103s | know you um and then uh we'll uh go |
107s | briefly through the uh blog post that uh |
110s | mijan has released uh a couple of weeks |
113s | ago when the beta was released sounds |
115s | good so yeah so tell us about about |
118s | yourself how did you discover Utopia how |
121s | long have you been playing uh maybe |
123s | what's your favorite tribe and why do |
126s | you like the the game um well I picked |
129s | up the |
130s | game seven years ago eight years ago |
133s | when when did The Game come out I feel |
135s | like I think |
136s | 2016 okay I probably picked it up |
140s | around around then it must have been in |
142s | the first year because there were a lot |
144s | of tribes that were missing I |
146s | think veteran veteran yeah veteran |
149s | veteran there were no special tribes yet |
152s | like it was all humans humans only and |
157s | um |
159s | yeah I think I I played it for a while I |
162s | played obviously like the Perfection |
163s | mode that's all there really was I think |
166s | in the beginning if I'm remembering |
168s | correctly um yeah I played that for I'm |
171s | I'm much younger I don't have that that |
173s | that much experience I think I joined in |
175s | like 2021 so well listen listen here |
179s | kids back in the day |
181s | back in the day there were only human |
183s | tribes yeah nobody else and I think |
185s | there were only like I think I came in |
188s | when there were maybe like six or seven |
190s | of the human tribes um I don't remember |
193s | which ones hadn't been added yet but uh |
196s | yeah it wasn't it wasn't quite filled |
198s | out and uh there was no there was no |
200s | diplomacy Tech like that whole Tech |
203s | Branch didn't |
206s | exist and um yeah I played I played the |
209s | Perfection mode cuz that's what there |
211s | was and you know I had I had a good time |
213s | with that I you know pushed my high |
215s | score up but I don't remember if there |
217s | was like a an online leaderboard yet for |
219s | it or |
220s | anything and um yeah and then I put the |
224s | game down for like a few years and then |
227s | I got a notification that like |
228s | multiplayer was added so then I came |
230s | back uh I played multiplayer I don't |
233s | think there was online multiplayer |
235s | initially I believe I only really got to |
238s | dunk on like my little brother um kind |
240s | of just steamrolled him over and over |
242s | and like you know I played with some |
244s | other people that I knew I introduced |
246s | them to the game and uh and I enjoyed |
248s | that and yeah when online matchmaking |
252s | came in I started to play that again um |
256s | and then after a while I like put the |
259s | game down and then there was another |
261s | update where they added in-game like |
263s | visible in-game ELO and then I was like |
266s | okay all right now I'm going to come |
267s | back and now I'm going to grind ELO now |
269s | I'm going to show competitive side of |
272s | your |
273s | personality |
275s | okay uh favorite tribe tell |
278s | us um I mean I I like Ayan a lot I I |
283s | would say I'm currently in ayrian main I |
285s | always used to just play what if if you |
286s | would asked me this like you know uh |
289s | like a year or two ago my favorite tribe |
290s | would have been like bardur or something |
292s | it was just I was just I was just going |
293s | to play whatever was pretty meta I |
296s | didn't have things like poly Champions |
298s | that assigns Point values to try so I |
300s | didn't get to play a lot of the tribes |
302s | that I considered to be kind of |
303s | potato um but um yeah now that I've |
308s | actually played them and you know um |
310s | yeah I like I like Alyan I'm an Alyan |
312s | Main and I like zasi I would say those |
315s | are the two main tribes that I play if |
317s | I'm just |
319s | lading and in general why why do you |
321s | think the um the game is uh is good why |
326s | why does it appeal to |
328s | you why is the game |
331s | good um well it's got so it's it's |
335s | complex in a way that puts you into |
339s | situations where you have a lot of like |
341s | decisions to make um there's there's |
344s | some games where you have kind of like |
346s | objectively good plays you know and |
349s | objectively correct things to do |
351s | polytopia is more nuanced than that |
353s | because you know you instead have like |
355s | strategic avenues that you pursue and |
357s | you get to see many turns later if your |
360s | you know strategic inkling ended up |
362s | paying |
363s | off um so I really I like the complexity |
366s | about it and um yeah I think that that |
370s | contrary to what a lot of people say I |
372s | think the game is actually like pretty |
373s | well balanced like you know can you want |
375s | but like it's not like I don't think |
377s | semanti is overpowered or anything I |
378s | don't even Main semanti and I mean you |
380s | know yeah I I agree there are ways to to |
382s | counter them so we don't uh we don't |
386s | approve all those uh whining a bits that |
393s | uh yeah um |
396s | okay but just just to finish this |
399s | introduction um section um so you you |
403s | are you're a streamer yourself um but |
405s | yes it's not the so polytopia is not |
409s | your only passion as it comes to to |
411s | streaming so tell us polyopia isn't my |
415s | my primary game so I I I stream on |
417s | Twitch you can find me at uh twitch.tv/ |
420s | fer obvious plug um I was at one point a |
423s | YouTuber and you can still find my |
424s | YouTube where I no longer post anything |
426s | but like you know you can see that I |
428s | used to um I was a I'm a pro player in |
431s | Pokemon go um if you haven't played like |
434s | the competitive side of that it might |
435s | sound like it doesn't make sense because |
437s | most of you would just be familiar with |
439s | like the Overworld part of the game and |
441s | not the battling part but um in the |
443s | battling part of that I was uh playing |
446s | at like a competitive level for a really |
448s | long time and uh that's like my primary |
450s | game that I still stream on Twitch three |
452s | days a week but occasionally I'll stream |
455s | polytopia um I'll stream like a few live |
457s | games uh I'm absolutely cracked |
460s | obviously uh I have like 1900 I have |
462s | like 1900 in-game ELO so um you're not |
466s | going to get to see my main account |
467s | because my main account doesn't have the |
468s | beta uh my main account is on mobile |
470s | obviously I'm a mobile |
472s | gamer um but um yeah I'm going to bring |
476s | all of my skills to the official poly |
478s | Champions Steam account and uh I'll I'll |
481s | just start lading on |
485s | that yep okay thank you um yeah so now |
489s | now we'll uh go through all the all the |
492s | changes that were implemented to to |
495s | aquarium uh so I'll add my |
499s | screen let's have a look |
505s | um yeah so there you go the Aquarian |
507s | rework beta uh has been has emerged from |
510s | the from the |
511s | depths and first um first major change |
517s | is that except sharks uh yell bellies |
522s | and puffer fish uh which will come in |
525s | later on um all the humans were changed |
529s | into |
531s | mermaids what do you think about |
535s | that um I mean I think mermaids |
542s | I feel like we could I I feel like we |
544s | could have named them something |
546s | else um and given I I feel like we could |
549s | have given them those the same functions |
551s | but maybe not called the mermaids I |
554s | don't know okay shouldn't they just be |
555s | mer people I mean it's it's okay it's |
559s | fine yeah but at least now it's it's uh |
562s | it's more consistent with their |
565s | environment right because then back then |
568s | before the beta it's like they were |
571s | people living in this like uh flooded |
575s | lands which were actually not flooded so |
579s | I I do like that they are that instead |
581s | of like people like the way semanti |
584s | isn't like just people living among bugs |
587s | or with bugs it's people that have kind |
588s | of fused with bugs I like that the new |
591s | Aquarian units are have have fused with |
594s | the fish they have they have become the |
597s | fish yeah um I would have preferred them |
599s | just to be called Aquarian ites or |
601s | something uh but like this is |
605s | fine uh yeah uh so change uh change |
610s | number two uh is that |
614s | um now when you look at this uh this |
619s | terrain uh Aquarian terrain so the the |
622s | graphics haven't changed but |
624s | the |
627s | um the functionality is ity has changed |
630s | so now this all this terrain is flooded |
633s | so actually uh all Aquarian units can |
637s | move there as if it was uh regular uh |
642s | water um and they can also flood |
647s | the like a solid terrain of other |
651s | tribes what do you think about that I |
653s | think that sounds dope um it's nice that |
656s | like the terrain actually functions |
658s | differently it's kind of going to be |
659s | like |
660s | it's gonna add I mean I'm always in |
662s | favor of anything that's going to add |
663s | complexity to the game provided that |
665s | it's balanced so I think adding these |
668s | additional mechanics it just pushes the |
670s | skill ceiling a little bit further and |
672s | I'm always in favor of anything that |
674s | makes the game harder mhm yeah and here |
677s | uh one small detail so all those uh kind |
680s | of human um units uh some the mer |
685s | mermaids they can move over land but |
688s | only one tile per per turn um but on |
692s | once the terrain is flooded then they so |
695s | like for example amphibians they they |
697s | can move two two two tiles uh and the |
701s | mentioned y bellies sharks and puffer |
703s | fish they can't move on like a solid |
706s | terrain so uh there will be a lot of uh |
710s | you know uh finding new ways to um yeah |
715s | to to like move them around the the map |
718s | right because because you can also play |
720s | play Aquarian on on drylands uh and even |
723s | though it's it's it's actually not |
725s | drylands because in in aquariums uh in |
730s | aquarium's uh situation it's uh it's |
733s | it's Wetlands so yeah they can they can |
736s | still move |
738s | around um yeah and now the like really |
742s | really new units so we have sharks we |
746s | have yeah so there's there's the shark |
750s | and uh and their uh statistics |
755s | um so um we'll be playing um um like |
760s | more updated version of of uh beta I |
764s | think now so the ah Health moved from 15 |
768s | down to 10 I see yeah and um yeah and |
772s | also the defense I think it it has been |
775s | reduced to to two so um it says it says |
779s | still on this |
781s | infographic but yeah but I think in the |
784s | game they they are they are they are |
786s | weaker once we we start playing I think |
789s | they they were uh it was it was reduced |
792s | a bit but I'm not |
795s | sure |
799s | um yeah and then we have y bellies um so |
805s | these are those |
807s | monsters um clearly clearly jellyfish |
811s | yeah |
814s | um yeah and |
818s | uh actually could you um could you open |
822s | the the game and we'll definitely we'll |
825s | switch to so we can uh we can show the |
829s | what do you want me to open a Perfection |
831s | mode or a yeah maybe like a Perfection |
833s | mode yeah |
843s | so we can see |
846s | the uh detect |
853s | tree |
855s | mhm |
858s | okay so let's see the the tech tree |
861s | right |
863s | now uh yeah so the sharks are in the in |
867s | this left uh Mar life uh yes uh left the |
871s | branch yes yeah so now they are yeah |
874s | like 15 Health three attack two defense |
878s | uh three movement and one oh and they |
880s | have creep yeah so and surprise oh my |
883s | gosh yeah so they can attack and then uh |
886s | they don't get |
888s | retaliation |
890s | and after sharks you can you can get y |
894s | Bell so they are uh kind of equivalent |
898s | of uh uh of ice |
901s | fortresses um or bombers |
906s | right yeah looks like yeah creep they |
909s | have float and stiff but stiff is |
913s | irrelevant because they have zero attack |
915s | right yeah but the they uh tentacles |
918s | they they uh give damage so once you uh |
922s | like once you're in range and you took |
924s | the damage you might as well slap them |
926s | yes |
928s | gotcha yeah and now let's go to this |
932s | um |
933s | forestry uh |
935s | Branch so here we have forestry as it is |
939s | and let's look at the last |
941s | one |
943s | um mathematics yeah so we have we have |
947s | puffer fish so that's the because there |
950s | there used to be Aqua pults but I guess |
954s | not everyone liked them or midan did not |
957s | like them so they were changed too |
960s | I'm not going to lie I I didn't like the |
962s | aquapol and the reason I didn't like it |
965s | is because it looks like it wouldn't |
967s | work I like the name aquapulse it's like |
971s | aqus had a great name but like if you |
973s | had like a catapult attached to like two |
976s | logs in the water when it tries to fire |
979s | the logs would just get like dunked yeah |
981s | yeah and it wouldn't it wouldn't so like |
983s | yes from the physics really bothered me |
985s | about it so I'm glad I'm glad they |
988s | replac I'm not such a nerd so like |
993s | I uh yeah so puffer fish they they uh |
997s | can either attack I think or they can um |
1001s | like fire a projectile and then this |
1004s | place that is hit uh it gets it gets |
1008s | flooded so yeah well I I hope we'll see |
1012s | that during during the game all |
1016s | right uh yeah and uh like like we can |
1020s | see they they they are quite vulnerable |
1022s | to any taxs uh like the the regular or |
1026s | even more yeah because they have zero |
1028s | defense so that's the same they've |
1030s | that's the same stats as a catapult |
1033s | except these have two movement which |
1034s | seems nice yeah yeah otherwise very |
1037s | similar |
1039s | yeah so that's that's that and um so now |
1044s | I'll switch to my |
1047s | screen and um |
1050s | the other thing that has changed uh so |
1055s | um I think that that's very reasonable |
1058s | that uh aquarium doesn't have uh ports |
1062s | anymore uh so they just float because |
1064s | they are fish people so they don't they |
1067s | they don't need ports and instead of |
1069s | that they have uh waterways and atal |
1073s | what do you think about this this change |
1075s | seems |
1077s | reasonable MH so atal are are an |
1081s | equivalent of uh posts right with from |
1085s | uh Polaris so they uh they connect yeah |
1090s | connect other cities other cities and it |
1093s | sounded more like a melium to me but |
1096s | without healing so yeah uh and they give |
1099s | one population and it's also one uh one |
1102s | atal per per City so you can't just put |
1105s | them like uh like the um like the |
1108s | Polaris uh Outpost yeah |
1113s | mhm and as you can see on the on the |
1117s | picture aquafarms are back what do you |
1119s | think about that because a lot of people |
1122s | were complaining about aquafarms when |
1124s | they were introduced uh during the the |
1127s | path of the ocean update I mean I liked |
1130s | um the aquafarm I always liked the aqua |
1132s | Farm I liked that even when it was in |
1135s | like a spot where you'd want to play |
1136s | support I like that it forced you to |
1138s | have to to make a value judgment on |
1140s | whether you wanted the port or you |
1142s | wanted the aquafarm I think a lot of |
1144s | people were bothered by having to make |
1146s | that decision but I feel like again |
1148s | anytime you have something where you |
1150s | have you know options that force you to |
1153s | make a value judgment that |
1162s | just I think uh there's something wrong |
1165s | with your with your mic because huh oh |
1168s | no no that now it's fine because |
1171s | like can you say something yeah that's |
1174s | fine like I think I lost you for for |
1176s | like a second oh okay yeah I'm |
1178s | back uh yeah so so Aqua Farms are are |
1182s | back and uh they are uh they are |
1185s | specific only for for um for aquarium |
1189s | other tribes don't have them so I I |
1191s | think that's that's reasonable yeah I me |
1194s | Aquarian has has has those kind of uh um |
1199s | yeah like Eco economy sorry |
1203s | economy um you know upgrades M yeah you |
1207s | were saying oh I was going to say I mean |
1209s | I feel like if I'm a zasi and I want to |
1211s | grow like seaweed I should be allowed to |
1214s | grow seaweed I think that's I think |
1215s | that's pretty messed up that they |
1219s | okay yeah uh anyway but it's so |
1222s | aquafarms are are only Aquarian uh |
1225s | specific so uh so no Aqua FS for uh for |
1230s | for other |
1232s | tribes um and about the flooding so |
1236s | there is there is also like a counter |
1238s | mechanics so Aquarian can flood terrain |
1242s | but other tribes if they want to counter |
1245s | uh aquarium they can rise raise the |
1247s | terrain so it's it kind of you know it's |
1250s | it can be like a tactics or strategy to |
1254s | to actually yeah um it's a lot like the |
1257s | uh |
1259s | yeah yeah that's that's uh what happens |
1262s | if I have an ice tile and I and someone |
1265s | floods it I don't know it's like uh |
1268s | actually actually with uh uh I was |
1271s | hoping maybe uh maybe uh the players |
1275s | that that will join us to to play |
1277s | against you that they will play Polaris |
1279s | because I this is the the the tribe that |
1282s | actually I did not see uh playing |
1286s | against against Aquarian so I'm very |
1287s | curious about some of the stuff uh you |
1290s | know that uh that will happen be between |
1293s | I'm looking forward to see the tribe |
1295s | interactions yeah okay um so um the plan |
1302s | for now is to to play some games uh so |
1305s | fer will be our |
1308s | champion and uh and the first game will |
1311s | be against uh W boy so he he's our |
1315s | friend from from poly |
1316s | Champs and uh um yeah so maybe you could |
1320s | set up a game and all righty we can |
1324s | start start |
1326s | playing I'll give uh W boy a a ping |
1330s | that's oh W boy is in chat right now oh |
1334s | okay what's up |
1336s | Wy you want to do this uh 196 a uh |
1341s | Aquarian mirror or |
1343s | something uh yeah we can start we can |
1346s | start with a with an Aquarian mirror so |
1349s | a small map all right let's do a nice uh |
1354s | kti map actually no Lakes because that's |
1356s | more balanced yeah and and and first one |
1359s | let's do uh 24 hours so we have more |
1361s | time to to explain and if some questions |
1366s | uh arise then then we'll sounds have |
1369s | more more time to all right Wy I sent |
1372s | you sent you a game request |
1386s | okay we're ready so good luck thank you |
1390s | all |
1392s | right well I spawned in the west so I |
1395s | guess we'll just uh take our mer |
1398s | person and make another mer person what |
1401s | would be the I I guess yeah we have no |
1404s | starting t0 Tech no we start with no |
1407s | Tech all right no there t Warrior it |
1414s | is so what do you think about your |
1417s | spawn well I don't know what an average |
1420s | spawn is yet but I mean I like that I |
1423s | have at least two fruit um and I guess I |
1426s | have a village to start with I guess I |
1430s | have other possible Village tiles here |
1432s | so for now I'm just going to rush Center |
1435s | and um yeah I don't have to buy a tech |
1438s | yet cuz I can't afford to use it |
1442s | mhm this background music is nice for |
1445s | this yeah it's Aquarian the like |
1449s | remixed uh |
1452s | music yeah so there uh I will pass some |
1454s | questions uh to you and answer some |
1459s | others uh |
1462s | so DJ Imon is asking uh when will the |
1466s | update come in so in the first days of |
1470s | of August so stay |
1472s | tuned um it's |
1476s | like yeah two three more weeks |
1481s | and and it will be available but it's |
1485s | beta is available on on Steam uh there's |
1488s | a link |
1489s | to um to the to steam and uh also the |
1494s | the game is now uh like 70% off so if |
1498s | you want to try it right now it's it's a |
1500s | good time to to actually buy it everyone |
1503s | telling me Spawn win for |
1508s | WNY okay justini says hi to you |
1512s | fer oh hello |
1515s | justini welcome |
1522s | back all right I think I just have to I |
1525s | have to go Warrior first here so this is |
1528s | a Lakes game |
1531s | so I could have another Village behind |
1533s | me |
1535s | here |
1538s | mm so we're going to send the first |
1540s | Warrior that way I don't have any fruit |
1543s | or anything to macro with at this base |
1547s | so I'm just going to make another mer |
1549s | person |
1557s | capture oh oh great yeah so Wy gets the |
1559s | middle base and he also has parallel |
1561s | resources |
1567s | dude yeah so |
1569s | Joe |
1571s | uh liman is asking is the flooding |
1575s | easier now so um before this beta uh |
1580s | aquarium did not have the ability to |
1582s | actually |
1583s | flood um it was just their terrain so uh |
1587s | flooding is actually |
1589s | a new |
1590s | thing |
1595s | um yeah I mean we're not going to have |
1598s | any opportunity to flood cuz this entire |
1600s | map is since this is an Aquarian mirror |
1602s | it's it's flooded to begin with yeah yes |
1605s | so flooding next next next |
1608s | game look at this he has perfect density |
1610s | too my |
1616s | gosh um yeah and |
1619s | um deser is asking do the sirens work |
1623s | any differently to mind benders so no |
1627s | they are just regular mind benders just |
1630s | Benders by a different name yeah they |
1632s | are called Sirens but they um abilities |
1637s | are are the same as the regular uh mind |
1644s | venders yeah |
1646s | so Banu is saying that II seaweed is |
1649s | good for your health yo zasi seaweed |
1652s | should |
1653s | be |
1658s | yeah |
1662s | um where are you seeing chat I only see |
1665s | the YouTube's chat um oh wait you are |
1668s | seeing that okay okay yeah SC I see it |
1671s | in in the studio |
1680s | they're different in practice because |
1682s | they can float oh you're talking about |
1684s | the uh the sirens versus |
1686s | mindbenders yeah but like yeah that's |
1689s | that's the difference |
1692s | but damn how do I MA but they are mer |
1695s | mermaids |
1698s | so so how is it going |
1701s | forer it's going pretty nice uh I'm not |
1704s | super sure how I can macro this base |
1710s | um I don't have any Aqua |
1713s | Farms well all right let's grab the |
1722s | lighthouse yeah so mining might be the |
1725s | the way to go but |
1728s | it's I think we're going to want farming |
1731s | but um it's too expensive to grab now so |
1734s | for |
1736s | now I'm just going to macro with org mhm |
1741s | we |
1744s | Workshop yeah in meanwhile if you have |
1746s | any questions uh about the uh the update |
1750s | and uh the game that is being played |
1754s | right now it's go go ahead uh we'll |
1757s | we'll answer the best way we |
1761s | can or other polyopia questions |
1770s | like you heard F has has been you know |
1773s | with pitopia since it started |
1776s | so yeah hey he's he's almost like |
1783s | mijan Chad if you can uh macro plan for |
1786s | me uh tell me what the tell me what to |
1788s | do in this position yes any any good |
1791s | suggestions |
1793s | for for f St yeah good suggestions would |
1797s | be ideal um I'll I'll take bad |
1799s | suggestions too uh I'm not feeling very |
1801s | picky right |
1803s | now um what do I do here all right well |
1806s | we can pull this |
1812s | back oh shoot I thought this was a uh I |
1815s | thought that was a rider initially okay |
1817s | MH |
1830s | yeah so one definitely has fishing |
1832s | because he can move on on those deep |
1836s | water tiles we can't always move on deep |
1838s | water I'm literally a |
1841s | fish no sorry it's like unless you have |
1844s | fishing then you can but without it |
1852s | nope yeah so there's there is some gold |
1857s | in those mountains |
1865s | okay uh I think that makes me okay for |
1868s | now how's he doing on score he's ahead |
1871s | of me but not by that |
1875s | much can you explain why why score is is |
1879s | important oh um well I mean there's |
1882s | there's complex ways of score counting |
1885s | but um me personally I'm too lazy for |
1887s | that but what I will do is just try to |
1889s | get a general feel for if I'm ahead or |
1892s | not and if I am going to be able to |
1894s | Pivot into like an attacking position or |
1897s | if I'm kind of stuck with what I've got |
1900s | MH yeah but uh can you explain how how |
1903s | does score counting really work um why |
1907s | why are you uh mentioning |
1911s | this well so you can like every action |
1914s | in polytopia uh adds a specific amount |
1918s | of score like every fog you uh every fog |
1921s | tile you reveal adds Five Points so if |
1925s | you you can see like kind of exactly |
1928s | what someone's doing in the early game |
1931s | uh capturing a city adds like 280 points |
1933s | to your score so you can sometimes see |
1937s | you know exactly how many bases they're |
1939s | at dude there's like no way to |
1945s | macro yeah so score counting is is a re |
1948s | good strategy especially if |
1951s | you uh if you want |
1954s | to you know like be really good at |
1958s | polytopia to to see what's uh what's |
1961s | your opponent doing even though you |
1962s | don't have Vision on them yeah if you're |
1966s | going to if you're going to play at a |
1967s | very high level it's going to be |
1969s | basically |
1970s | mandatory let's |
1973s | go dude there's like I have like no I |
1976s | have like no fruit I have no fish |
1979s | all right let's do that yeah so arthus |
1981s | the Le King says Rush crab with atos |
1984s | maybe but you lose the city anyway so |
1987s | you can't really do do that either so |
1991s | and we're gonna we're going to find |
1992s | we're going to find a way all right chat |
1994s | yeah or resign BL spawn that's the |
1999s | that's the strategy |
2010s | yeah but I think when when you survive |
2011s | this first wave you this feels like a |
2014s | good time to ask and uh I guess poke |
2018s | actually and ask if mijwan has any plans |
2021s | to add a symmetrical map |
2027s | spawn uh yeah maybe it's it's a good |
2030s | time but I we we I I don't I know |
2033s | nothing about this |
2036s | so I can't comment really |
2040s | maybe there are such plans |
2045s | but I can't say |
2053s | anything yeah so arthus is happy you did |
2056s | not lose the city oh yeah yeah uh no I'm |
2061s | glad when he didn't um push the issue I |
2064s | guess mhm let's go this way |
2083s | yo he's gotten a toll yeah I see a water |
2086s | way |
2092s | is the true try thinks that the game is |
2095s | turning around |
2096s | anyway no that that's not what's |
2100s | happening that's not about to happen |
2102s | just yet get two star ruins that's |
2105s | actually a very good tip I'm going to |
2106s | try my best to do that mhm are you good |
2110s | at guessing what's what's in the ruins |
2112s | or you bad rolling the dice and hoping |
2115s | that I guess correctly um not |
2118s | specifically uhhuh uh I don't know if |
2120s | may maybe there are some people who |
2121s | might be better than average at that but |
2123s | uh me no I have I have no special talent |
2126s | at guessing Okay |
2128s | yeah because I I know that there are |
2130s | some like you know Wizards ruin Wizards |
2132s | and |
2133s | they predict very |
2137s | accurately okay there's a r another ruin |
2143s | there yeah I mean I'm just glad to be |
2148s | able |
2151s | um |
2155s | pops yeah so we got a population ruin |
2158s | mhm yeah I can't afford anything useful |
2161s | yet we'll get another of |
2165s | those I think I have to move this |
2168s | forward or I'm not going to be able to |
2170s | push |
2186s | out okay well this is zoning here so |
2190s | it's not like they can move this in |
2192s | right so let's actually let's just go |
2195s | north okay all right so I've saved four |
2198s | stars that's enough for me to get |
2200s | forestry so I can upgrade this base |
2203s | maybe work towards a crab or something |
2208s | mhm jier is telling me that the ruin has |
2211s | meditation and three |
2213s | population |
2215s | yeah okay well you guessed one of those |
2217s | correctly although in in the game's |
2220s | defense uh you know we had we had |
2222s | grabbed that beforehand all right so |
2223s | that one is in this tile but I don't |
2225s | think I can reveal it so I probably |
2227s | can't kill it m unless I have some |
2230s | things to bounce yo what the hell they |
2231s | already have a crab dude |
2235s | yeah yeah and there's uh so we did not |
2239s | uh touch on that but crabs have uh have |
2244s | changed so now they have um |
2248s | they have two |
2251s | movement uh if you click on the yeah mhm |
2254s | so they have two movement they still |
2256s | have Escape ability and um they got a |
2261s | bit uh you know updated so they look and |
2265s | the new thing that has um has been |
2268s | introduced so once they step on a on a |
2272s | solid land they uh they |
2275s | flooded okay archery |
2278s | what do you think about this development |
2282s | I'll take it uh it's not going to help |
2284s | me macro my base but it it does beef up |
2288s | the uh the units that I have on like the |
2291s | edges yeah the mermaid Warriors |
2296s | yes oh my |
2298s | gosh I can't even get into friendly |
2301s | territory yet all right yeah we're going |
2303s | to pull that back |
2306s | um what gives me deep water fishing |
2310s | fishing |
2312s | o that serves like no serves no other |
2316s | purpose for me yeah you have one fish |
2318s | yes that sucks yeah all right all right |
2322s | let's go with uh oh |
2335s | boy yeah there's not much cause for me |
2338s | to move that |
2340s | forward oh boy building archers |
2347s | it's not a fan of archers I mean I like |
2351s | archers as much as the next person but |
2354s | uh you know my my defense against the |
2356s | crab is currently one Archer |
2359s | um so you know it's kind of a sad |
2361s | defense here |
2364s | mhm does fer know that new Trident have |
2368s | persist instead of |
2370s | Escape um I heard someone mention that |
2374s | in the patch notes I don't I haven't |
2375s | experienced that so I don't know exactly |
2377s | what that looks like and uh I'm I'm not |
2380s | going to lie to you we're kind of low |
2382s | Tech on this particular game right now |
2384s | so there's a decent chance I I don't see |
2387s | tridion |
2390s | here how does persist work you just run |
2393s | into a group of things and |
2395s | spray uh yeah I saw it so it's h you can |
2398s | you can spray on them like until you |
2401s | like all the all the units are in range |
2404s | are like |
2406s | hit so you can't you know continue |
2411s | going forward like with the night but |
2414s | you can yeah spray the Trident |
2417s | everywhere do I want an a to right now |
2420s | or |
2424s | forestry I think I want forestry here |
2435s | where is my Sawmill going to go okay all |
2439s | right we're going to border growth here |
2442s | even though there's a crab like about to |
2443s | be like up my butt um I'm just going to |
2446s | go |
2447s | for the slower approach |
2451s | anyway hello game okay all right we're |
2454s | going to move this up |
2458s | right because I don't want to feed him a |
2460s | free |
2471s | unit all right and I don't think I care |
2474s | if that base gets |
2484s | sieged I think that will remain where it |
2487s | is |
2498s | I'd like a an Explorer but I'm too damn |
2502s | poor |
2504s | mhm yeah I think |
2507s | going Eco is is a better idea because I |
2511s | think it's my I think it's my only |
2513s | option here mhm okay the crab is just |
2515s | dude the crabs are just stomping around |
2519s | yeah two crabs that doesn't look good no |
2522s | we're fine we're fine I'm not I'm not |
2524s | even worried yet |
2527s | okay if they if they end up taking my my |
2530s | little potato base then I guess that's |
2532s | just what |
2532s | happens yeah but your capital is also |
2535s | kind of in in range no my capital is |
2537s | fine my Capital I can I can make my own |
2539s | crabs in my capital okay so it'll it'll |
2542s | be okay it'll be fine |
2545s | uh I'm more worried about the |
2548s | uh the prospect of them having an actual |
2550s | economy and me not having an actual e |
2552s | economy like I'm going to pick and |
2554s | choose the things I'm concerned about |
2556s | right now and the current concern is |
2557s | definitely the the not having any money |
2574s | mhm dude he got archery himself he has |
2577s | like defense now on his on his freaking |
2580s | crabs |
2582s | mm beefy crabs weren't beefy enough |
2585s | already yeah because crabs are are a bit |
2588s | different than the regular um Giants |
2592s | right because regular uh Giants have |
2596s | five attack and four defense and the |
2598s | crab has the the other way |
2602s | around so they are like really tanky |
2620s | okay we made a thing but we are still |
2622s | very very |
2626s | poor drop a park of Fortune there |
2642s | and I would |
2646s | normally all right let me pull that back |
2650s | first that's in |
2653s | range uh let's see one two |
2657s | three four five six seven |
2660s | eight is that enough hits to take this |
2663s | thing |
2664s | out |
2665s | H we can ask the poly |
2669s | calculator ah yes you could do |
2679s | that I'll just since I am doing this |
2682s | quickly we'll just not do that and I'll |
2684s | leave it up to |
2686s | chance |
2688s | okay because with the with the regular |
2691s | uh Giants it's it's 10 Warriors right |
2695s | without any yeah 10 Warriors without any |
2698s | help so we've done two Warriors worth of |
2700s | damage to this crab and one Warrior |
2702s | worth of damage to this crab |
2715s | M okay I see his |
2718s | archers yeah well we we knew he had |
2721s | archers before m |
2753s | well uh let's see one two three four |
2756s | five six seven |
2759s | hits um o is this even |
2767s | enough if it is enough it's going to be |
2770s | very |
2771s | narrow so let's move the six in range |
2776s | and monitor |
2778s | that right we just moved up to doing |
2781s | four |
2782s | M and the six is going to do three here |
2791s | oh my gosh this thing's retaliation is |
2793s | so heavy yeah I think it won't be |
2797s | enough like narrowly |
2803s | yeah no it's enough it's just that I |
2806s | lose everything in the process yeah |
2811s | mhm do I survive this yet oh look at |
2814s | that yo huge |
2815s | survive okay absolutely massive not |
2818s | everyone will die in this in the process |
2821s | yes only almost everyone |
2824s | okay we are going to |
2828s | remake an amphibian there and an Archer |
2833s | here wait a |
2835s | minute these crabs oh my gosh they have |
2839s | like sneak or |
2841s | something oh they've got |
2844s | creep okay all right surely that will |
2846s | save me |
2848s | M okay uh what does he have in range |
2851s | here one two units he doesn't have a |
2854s | third so if I just make a regular |
2856s | mermaid it's not like he can kill me |
2863s | right what do we want to do |
2866s | here how much is this |
2868s | worth he's making two stars there I |
2871s | don't even want to Siege it for that |
2874s | price budget ass bases mhm |
2878s | okay Arthur Lee says Hey Hey |
2882s | fster Hey |
2887s | Arthur yo do you think do you do you |
2889s | guys think that WNY uh like sniped my |
2893s | position because he can see where I |
2896s | was like do you think he saw that I was |
2898s | going for this space and he was like oh |
2899s | I'll send both Warriors towards the same |
2901s | base and I'll just kill fer like that |
2904s | he'll never see it coming no I think |
2907s | well uh want is |
2909s | this you think he just had you think he |
2912s | just had a spawn one yeah yeah okay so |
2916s | we have |
2918s | trids |
2928s | yeah yeah that's not looking good for |
2931s | you yeah it's it's not ideal for sure |
2934s | for sure um all right let's let me |
2940s | see the problem is that if a trid |
2942s | dention walks into my group of units |
2944s | it'll kill my entire group of units |
2946s | right yeah so you asked how how persist |
2949s | works with tradtions so you you saw oh |
2952s | boy |
2969s | uh can we kill this or |
2975s | what yeah I'm thinking we |
2988s | don't yeah I don't I don't I don't see a |
2991s | way out of this one uh we make a mermaid |
2994s | there and a mermaid Archer here |
3001s | boy let's pull that |
3010s | back |
3013s | yeah ah yes well the the the fork has |
3017s | always been a strong unit I see some |
3019s | things never change uhhuh but what's |
3022s | what's your opinion is it is is this |
3024s | persist better or the the Escape that |
3026s | the used to have I feel like I preferred |
3029s | them with Escape because they functioned |
3031s | a little more differently mhm with |
3033s | persist it they seem like they feel more |
3037s | like just a regular Knight like a knight |
3040s | will also go into a group of things and |
3042s | kill all of the stuff mhm but uh and I |
3044s | kind of appreciated that the fork the |
3047s | trid denion uh functioned differently |
3051s | mhm the fact that it's now basically the |
3054s | same dude |
3057s | why this crab does not want to |
3076s | die yeah this is uh yeah this is this is |
3079s | a real problem here yeah so that true |
3083s | true tree says uh crabs used to sag suck |
3087s | uh badly uh but feels like they uh got |
3090s | kind of over buffed now I thought crabs |
3093s | were okay before but uh yeah oh hey Wy |
3097s | boy welcome |
3103s | back thank you for thank you for spawn |
3105s | winning in our first game feels |
3114s | great okay well we don't need to watch |
3116s | myself die right we'll just we'll just |
3118s | find no it's like feel feel free to |
3120s | resign when when like a true |
3122s | professional |
3127s | mhm so what I would suggest now maybe a |
3130s | rematch with with one but uh now he'll |
3133s | uh he'll get a like a regular |
3136s | tribe okay so we could see this this |
3138s | kind of mechanics |
3141s | how uh how Aquarian uh performs against |
3153s | and after this game if you want to play |
3155s | with with |
3157s | fcker um you can yeah we will share some |
3162s | some um invite links |
3165s | and you'll be able to to play we still |
3169s | have uh have plenty of of time just Spam |
3172s | friend requests chat just Spam friend |
3174s | requests this is this is my this is my |
3176s | friend code yeah or you can you can uh |
3179s | you can friend |
3181s | the uh the account so whatever works for |
3191s | you okay what do we have for Wy all |
3195s | right 620 uh it looks like he picked uh |
3200s | what race is that quali yeah I'm bad at |
3202s | this I think I think that's I think I'm |
3205s | also too lazy to to to do score counts |
3207s | so we are in one |
3210s | team all right we'll just watch his his |
3212s | so I I the only score counting I'm doing |
3215s | is like you know uh looking uh at the at |
3219s | Discord and you know seeing that yeah |
3221s | now he got a CD or you know so like some |
3224s | bigger big bigger changes but like you |
3226s | know five points or you know even 20 |
3229s | it's like okay that's he just went from |
3231s | 6:30 to 655 so he got like Corner |
3235s | Vision yeah yeah so chat says it's it's |
3239s | katali some somebody's suggesting kri |
3243s | we're going to rush |
3250s | ruin oh it's quits |
3254s | okay okay um I guess I don't see any |
3257s | reason not to take organization and a |
3259s | workshop here even though I'm going to |
3261s | get a ruin next turn especially because |
3264s | qus can't uh steal an early ruin from |
3267s | me |
3277s | mhm yeah so it's definitely |
3280s | kazali can see the |
3283s | terrain oh yes we see the we see the qu |
3286s | sorry I didn't I didn't think to |
3287s | verbalize that oh okay he he picks up |
3290s | his uh his second base here uhhuh we're |
3293s | going to open with a nice Explorer ruin |
3296s | okay meet them yeah nice we got we got |
3300s | five stars out of that exchange |
3303s | mhm how the hell did he get up to over a |
3306s | thousand already all right we'll take it |
3308s | all right I've got Nine Stars before I |
3310s | capture so I guess it looks like I'm |
3313s | going to go |
3314s | Farms |
3316s | mhm cuz I don't see any better way of |
3320s | macroing |
3324s | here when you say microing what's what |
3327s | does this mean macroing means uh |
3330s | boosting my economy let me see I've got |
3333s | eight Stars between the next two turns |
3336s | there's all right that's going to be two |
3338s | Warriors and a workshop then |
3341s | mhm we'll try engines be more skilled |
3344s | now uh you mean will they be more |
3347s | skill-based than |
3350s | previously |
3353s | um I'm not sure I feel like the way the |
3357s | trentin was |
3360s | before it commonly was so strong look at |
3364s | this he went for an Explorer in this |
3366s | city okay mhm yeah definitely I don't |
3370s | see a |
3373s | workshop okay this is probably his main |
3376s | right yeah his Capital has |
3382s | we're okay so it's cheaper to make a |
3385s | workshop with two fruit but that makes |
3388s | level three more expensive so we're |
3391s | actually just going to farm and we're |
3392s | going to skip a unit cuz I don't really |
3394s | have anywhere to send an extra Warrior |
3395s | there this Warrior is going to Arc back |
3397s | around mhm and we're going to go for a |
3399s | farm up front and a workshop because I'm |
3402s | not nosy I don't need to see what he's |
3404s | doing |
3408s | okay yeah and he doesn't have Riders yet |
3412s | so there's no threat for you that that |
3414s | he can he might snipe you yeah |
3420s | yeah and |
3424s | um |
3425s | AIS was uh was mentioning |
3430s | that where's this |
3432s | comment |
3441s | um yeah so the new tridion are |
3444s | definitely less prone to being spam |
3447s | do you |
3450s | agree oh um I guess yeah they would |
3454s | definitely be weaker now |
3456s | because well it's not that they're |
3458s | weaker but you you can't get the same |
3460s | kind of long-term value out of them like |
3462s | they're no longer a good like defensive |
3466s | unit mhm either I would say like they |
3470s | they see more like something you have to |
3471s | use offensively mhm what do I want to do |
3474s | here macro wise uh um do I just want to |
3478s | save like what do I need to make a |
3479s | warrior |
3481s | for |
3483s | nothing right there's no additional yeah |
3487s | none of these tiles is a village so I |
3489s | don't need yeah I don't I don't need any |
3491s | additional unit you know what I'm I'm |
3492s | just going to save |
3504s | mhm okay so he went h |
3507s | thing yeah I'm upset that when I |
3509s | captured this it didn't automatically |
3511s | flood this |
3513s | field no no it's it doesn't work uh same |
3516s | as as with Polaris so when you capture |
3519s | um your opponent's um cies uh I mean the |
3524s | regular tribes or or even other special |
3527s | tribes they they don't flood uh |
3531s | automatically so it's not like like |
3533s | Polaris because Polaris doesn't doesn't |
3535s | actually have their |
3537s | uh their terrain right they have to |
3539s | claim it from from other uh other |
3543s | tribes |
3548s | yeah yeah I think we're going to work |
3550s | towards waterways getting a toll and use |
3552s | that to get my next upgrades |
3559s | mhm yeah so justini says construction |
3562s | lets you get two |
3564s | crabs h |
3568s | ah yes that's true I see |
3573s | them cuz now with with construction you |
3576s | can uh you can uh burn Forest right so |
3580s | there's there there are like some |
3582s | good uh good um windmill spots yeah what |
3586s | is this fertiliz ability wait what this |
3589s | does not the way I'm used to it working |
3592s | yeah so this is the this is also a new |
3594s | thing so we can uh you can plant uh a |
3599s | farm aquarium has that |
3602s | yeah we'll take construction and try to |
3604s | figure out so so they they actually |
3606s | don't uh don't uh burn Forest they you |
3609s | can uh fertilize the I can just oh okay |
3614s | all right so these forests are not okay |
3617s | you I I can just create forests I I can |
3620s | just create Farms they just top out of |
3622s | the ground |
3624s | mhm exactly |
3628s | yeah and one small detail I see on the |
3631s | on the screen so Wy took this uh city of |
3636s | K or what whatever and it's uh land |
3641s | build up so uh if you want to see how |
3644s | this |
3646s | uh unflooding the the land looks like |
3649s | the there there you go |
3665s | aquarium can't burn because there's a |
3667s | water tile uh yes yes that's that's fair |
3671s | point yeah |
3692s | okay well fertilize seems like an |
3694s | expensive way to do |
3697s | this let's see if we can just keep |
3700s | expanding uh am I safe to make a |
3706s | thing all right if I make an amphibian |
3709s | here and move this to here then they |
3713s | can't block me right so let's put this |
3716s | here |
3721s | here we'll make a |
3724s | mermaid and we'll get another |
3727s | amp mhm and I guess now I'll I'll just |
3730s | send this back for the uh for the |
3731s | lighthouse |
3738s | y all right Wy launching has attack he's |
3740s | going to Siege me but it's not the end |
3742s | of the world |
3761s | okay so they got getting ports he wants |
3764s | to fight me on the water |
3767s | fishing yeah but those rafts are like |
3770s | very vulnerable because you |
3773s | have uh you have your units yeah but |
3776s | can't |
3778s | reach mhm can I afford to become in |
3781s | range |
3790s | no all right we'll take this farm for |
3793s | the Free level three |
3804s | upgrade h |
3811s | no I don't want to use |
3834s | that okay all right |
3838s | how are you |
3839s | feeling I feel like this is going all |
3842s | right right I have my my opponent |
3844s | doesn't have like three times my economy |
3847s | so this feels like more of a fair |
3848s | matchup |
3850s | mhm I might be missing some unit |
3853s | familiarity but um I kind of like that |
3856s | WNY is deciding to go for Naval units |
3859s | because I should be able to pick up good |
3861s | efficiency and maybe bully him out of |
3862s | this Lake |
3864s | mhm at least that's that's that's the |
3866s | idea right that's that's the hope you |
3869s | have you know three cities around so and |
3871s | he has only one because this middle City |
3874s | doesn't have water access so it will be |
3877s | really hard for for them to to fight for |
3880s | this for this |
3881s | Lake yeah he's going to fight for like |
3884s | Naval control here but I don't think he |
3886s | can get |
3888s | it and me being able to capture this |
3891s | city is huge for me it puts me on much |
3893s | more even footing |
3896s | all right let's see let's go with |
3906s | um I guess I'm going to put this here |
3909s | right we'll slap |
3912s | this just going to keep making mermaids |
3915s | out of here |
3929s | and since he doesn't have any like units |
3932s | that can like attack me if I move here |
3934s | we're just going to move here mhm yeah |
3936s | only Defenders because the Riders are |
3939s | out of range all right I've got 10 Stars |
3942s | so uh I feel |
3944s | like I feel like I should do something |
3946s | that will let me macro these bases |
3949s | better or move better but I feel like I |
3952s | can't afford any new tech cuz then all |
3955s | right so we're just going to capture |
3956s | Workshop |
3959s | mhm so justini is suggesting uh border |
3963s | growth in your in your cap uh not in |
3966s | capital in the Second City to get even |
3969s | more |
3971s | crabs when I can when I can afford one |
3973s | crab I'm definitely going to consider |
3975s | getting two crabs but it definitely |
3978s | feels a little early for that right |
3983s | now I still want to find a way to |
3985s | Workshop this base |
3987s | somehow |
3990s | okay um can he do anything annoying here |
3992s | I don't think so not |
4011s | yet okay maybe let's change music to |
4015s | something |
4018s | different something less chill than the |
4021s | aquarium than the aquarium |
4023s | theme yeah I have a you know a long |
4028s | playlist |
4031s | so yeah since you like zasi I will play |
4044s | zasi well that's not ideal |
4051s | but and I don't have any like roads that |
4055s | I can use |
4056s | either |
4062s | yeah but I can kill his uh his Scouts so |
4079s | all right we'll box that one in dude I |
4080s | can't even upgrade the space all |
4086s | right do I have destroy |
4089s | no no destroys is with with TR |
4095s | tradenance man do I need this badly |
4098s | enough I need to I need to Workshop this |
4100s | space especially so I can build a unit |
4102s | in |
4103s | it yeah so fertiliz uh is |
4108s | um is has the same price as as uh as |
4111s | actually burn burn Forest because it's |
4114s | burning it's also five stars and then |
4116s | five stars for for a farm so it's it's |
4120s | equal yeah it's still it still feels |
4123s | quite expensive |
4132s | mhm and I'm finding the lack of Roads is |
4134s | difficult to work with too |
4139s | it feels like Aquarian still has very |
4141s | soupy |
4143s | resources |
4148s | mhm like I have felt quite impoverished |
4151s | in both of these games but it might just |
4152s | be that I'm not used to using their |
4155s | units yet mhm |
4177s | what's in the ruin okay free spirit free |
4180s | spirit okay so closer to |
4189s | tensions yeah I'm not sure if if uh |
4192s | sieging this uh this city |
4196s | um that he has taken from you was was |
4198s | right play for him yeah I mean stealing |
4202s | a city is always nice yeah well he he |
4205s | had to you know invest in those Scouts |
4207s | and now he's actually you know kind of |
4210s | stuck |
4211s | there uh because you even blocked uh |
4215s | some of the resources |
4219s | so I'm not sure |
4230s | so artha says fter I think you are |
4233s | taking a wrong approach for |
4235s | Aquarian so words of encouragement just |
4238s | just go riding road every |
4240s | game yeah know so he says attles plus |
4244s | tier one resources should get you um |
4247s | workshops in most most cities uh and |
4250s | then rushing their units uh is the play |
4254s | I I feel like |
4279s | now you'll be able to Siege I think with |
4281s | four units yeah I can mhm |
4286s | what do we want to end with |
4295s | um now I think you have to block this |
4303s | um uh Scout I don't think I have to |
4308s | worry about Scout uh I don't think it's |
4311s | enough mhm right cuz I sieged with the |
4314s | regular Warrior Scout will drop it to |
4316s | four and then this is not enough to kill |
4327s | mhm um I'm just going to not Retreat |
4330s | that actually I'm just going to leave it |
4331s | where it is okay |
4341s | M think I got screwed this game taking |
4343s | construction cuz we thought it could |
4345s | burn |
4348s | yeah no we're we're we're going to be |
4355s | fine that crab is |
4360s | coming or are you thinking border growth |
4363s | I think I need to border growth actually |
4366s | okay cuz since I can't since I can't |
4367s | burn these to create extra things uh I'm |
4370s | going to have to fertilize everything |
4372s | instead yeah but you have two fruits so |
4375s | it it won't be as expensive |
4387s | yeah so finally something positive from |
4390s | Martha so I uh oh I think you are |
4395s | winning I mean I think he's about to get |
4397s | a I think he's about to get a fifth base |
4399s | up here |
4401s | mhm but um surely getting the the way |
4404s | overpowered and and kind of weird crabs |
4407s | will help |
4412s | mhm do you think he already has has |
4416s | Giants I don't think so his score |
4419s | doesn't look like |
4421s | itm although he's probably going to get |
4423s | like a killer Monument soon at this rate |
4425s | okay |
4429s | mhm if he wanted to get roads he'd be |
4431s | able to like permanently outrange me so |
4435s | I I guess it's a good thing that he |
4436s | didn't do |
4438s | that meanwhile I don't have the ability |
4441s | to |
4442s | Road |
4444s | rammer oh that's weird to see okay |
4448s | that's right yeah since these are |
4449s | flooded tiles the rammer can just walk |
4451s | and onto my land |
4457s | yep yeah but if if you had not blocked |
4460s | like not move this amphibian in the in |
4463s | the middle you would able |
4468s | yeah yeah look at that he chopped a |
4469s | forest for me now I'll be able to |
4471s | fertilize that area thank you |
4476s | WNY all right I'm one star short of |
4479s | getting a crab |
4482s | there so that's unfortunate but I guess |
4485s | worse things could |
4491s | happen What do I do here my |
4494s | gosh do I get a tech do I just take |
4496s | fruit I guess I'll just take the fruits |
4498s | for |
4501s | now oh wait a minute oh wait no this is |
4504s | the wrong |
4510s | City yep your capital is in the if I |
4514s | take all right I can up if I take this |
4518s | and get population growth then I'm still |
4521s | too poor mm all right if I take hunting |
4524s | for |
4526s | then I take that I'm too poor again dude |
4528s | I'm too |
4531s | poor consistently |
4541s | impoverished how much does this thing do |
4547s | okay well I guess we'll take this and |
4550s | we'll plan to fertilize any random tile |
4553s | I mean he can't block them all right no |
4555s | there there's no way this we've just got |
4557s | too many |
4568s | mhm okay so a little more macro here |
4572s | we'll let those two heal |
4585s | and if this gets sieged and I'll have 12 |
4587s | income all right it's still |
4601s | enough do I want to just go for it and |
4603s | slap this I guess I |
4607s | will right if I don't if I don't work |
4609s | that thing down it's never going to die |
4635s | you I think this this Defender is |
4637s | chasing my one HP |
4639s | merman yes and like my merman can't heal |
4642s | on that tile so I got have actually move |
4646s | if I move north he can't trap me right |
4648s | unless he moves unless he gets climbing |
4651s | yeah okay so my merman will probably |
4653s | Escape yes I think he'll |
4657s | survive yeah but those rammers are like |
4661s | uh that's a problem for you |
4675s | I feel like this isn't anything that not |
4677s | being in poverty won't be able to fix so |
4680s | surely once I pop a crab and can macro a |
4682s | little I think I think we'll just we'll |
4684s | just be fine |
4694s | right so we'll just we'll just start |
4696s | with a nice fat |
4697s | crab |
4699s | um dude I can't move through |
4702s | these uh and there's like no roads the |
4704s | no thing makes everything so awkward for |
4707s | me mhm all right I can't afford to |
4710s | upgrade this |
4716s | yet we'll just keep running |
4720s | away and since rammers can just Walt on |
4723s | to solid land um we'll do that I guess I |
4727s | will smack one of these |
4752s | I'm just going to end like that we'll |
4753s | let those we'll let those |
4756s | heal yeah so he got the light yeah we'll |
4759s | we we will be fine chat we're |
4763s | okay maybe he was wasn't even chasing my |
4766s | one HP Warrior I think he wanted the |
4770s | yeah my my merman Timmy is going to |
4778s | escape okay so he |
4781s | started he's filling in my ground |
4784s | building yeah building up the the ground |
4788s | okay and there is a giant |
4803s | what is this five attack four defense |
4807s | and I've |
4808s | got it's four four attack five defense |
4813s | ah okay so I think I would keep the crab |
4817s | as it |
4822s | is H 11 and 11 |
4840s | okay yeah true tree says oh crab versus |
4843s | giant epic battle incoming oh yeah |
4866s | are you a player that is good in uh in |
4869s | this kill uh farming I mean do you get |
4872s | do you get a lot of veterans or am I a |
4874s | skilled farmer no |
4877s | like kills farmer because like uh a lot |
4882s | of so I I've seen guys who are like |
4884s | really skilled with uh you know tracking |
4887s | how many kills your your units have and |
4889s | uh I mean I usually keep an our keep an |
4893s | okay eye on them mhm I don't think we |
4895s | have time for anything else or you just |
4898s | you know like throw them into into |
4900s | battle and you don't you don't care that |
4902s | much about I I try to care about them |
4904s | more um |
4922s | but uh I mean it can it can be hard to |
4924s | keep an eye on everyone when there's a |
4926s | lot of things going on |
4936s | mhm do you actually play play bullets if |
4938s | you ever |
4939s | played yeah um I've played live games a |
4943s | couple of times mhm um I've played them |
4945s | on my stream uh I've played a couple of |
4948s | the |
4949s | polys mhm um which have been |
4954s | nice but uh I mean usually I'm slower |
4957s | and more methodical |
4962s | mhm yeah that giant does a lot of |
4966s | damage okay but we still will onshot |
4969s | anything that walks up to attack me |
4971s | right y so surely we're fine mhm we're |
4975s | just goingon to we're just going to move |
4976s | more crab we'll just get we'll just get |
4978s | yeah replace the |
4979s | crab no the crab is the crab is fine we |
4982s | it's it's got a few more it's it's got |
4984s | another at least two turns into it I |
4986s | think |
4988s | mhm okay I see when he has has road so |
4991s | he can roll more |
4993s | stuff towards your your second City |
5011s | these have Dash |
5013s | right yeah so that might be the next |
5018s | attack for |
5022s | me okay we're going to pull Timmy back |
5025s | onto land so he can heal or well back |
5028s | into water I |
5033s | guess how much damage do we do to this |
5036s | all right never mind that's definitely |
5037s | not |
5043s | happening all right I have this that I |
5046s | could fill in I |
5049s | guess but if I fill |
5055s | this and get hunting I can make another |
5058s | crab here and push this crab so this |
5062s | crab will push North right so let's move |
5064s | this way |
5072s | first do I want to attack this now Jesus |
5075s | that thing does so much damage to |
5081s | me we'll just we'll just run up on the |
5084s | other bases |
5091s | mhm yeah nice move to to block those |
5094s | those ramar they're in the in the |
5098s | north okay so he got another city in |
5101s | the north Northeast I mean it's okay we |
5105s | we knew he was going to do that right |
5107s | it's |
5115s | fine all right and I guess all of these |
5118s | other units can just heal this one moved |
5120s | yeah those ones those one will just heal |
5127s | oh |
5132s | archers yep it's going to get real |
5134s | awkward for my crabs sooner or |
5140s | later yeah he can Siege you now I think |
5144s | he wants to Siege with the with the |
5146s | defender yeah yeah mhm |
5162s | okay one kill to mhm to killer |
5168s | mhm one kill away from |
5179s | killer okay so he |
5183s | got he got sailing |
5187s | mhm so now doesn't have to go around |
5190s | this this uh deep water |
5215s | uh let's |
5217s | see windmill plus Monument well we've |
5220s | got this windmill here already so we |
5222s | have one windmill on that tile |
5229s | mhm what does fishing get me just fish |
5232s | and water movement yep |
5259s | let's |
5260s | see so if all right this can't kill |
5264s | anything |
5276s | if I get |
5279s | forestry uh then I can chop what well he |
5283s | even has a thing here on this Forest |
5284s | tile so I've got one two three Forest |
5287s | tiles that I could potentially be |
5289s | chopping |
5290s | mhm so forestry 12 generate three income |
5295s | by chopping these that leaves me with |
5297s | six oh my gosh that's not not enough |
5300s | that's not enough anyway |
5308s | all |
5320s | right let's focus on another part of the |
5323s | map |
5324s | then CU I don't think I'm going to be |
5326s | able to save this oh shoot I should have |
5329s | gotten |
5331s | spearing cuz then I could oh wait I |
5333s | couldn't even AFF couldn't have afforded |
5335s | that actually I can all right so I |
5337s | didn't want to do this to |
5340s | Timmy but I think we're going to have to |
5342s | disband |
5350s | Timmy hello |
5362s | game yes cour scorched |
5367s | Earth yeah so justini was was |
5370s | suggesting forestry chop and um and this |
5375s | band a few units oh no I wouldn't not |
5378s | going be enough yeah still not enough no |
5381s | we were we I would have had to disband |
5383s | everything and at that point I might as |
5384s | well just die |
5387s | mhm okay so we have a crab focused up |
5390s | there we're going to send this one this |
5393s | way um I I will tap this just |
5414s | because oh boy this game is getting |
5422s | weird oh my gosh |
5425s | poor um all right how am I going to stop |
5428s | this city from getting |
5431s | sieged uh do we just ban two Warriors to |
5434s | build one Warrior that doesn't even |
5436s | help no because he'll hit you with the |
5439s | with the rammer and no you know what |
5441s | it's fine I've got enough stuff to un |
5442s | Siege I |
5445s | think uh |
5449s | okay if not we'll just we'll just Burn |
5452s | the City down so it'll it'll be fine |
5455s | yeah you have two |
5464s | more how do you can actually uh get a |
5467s | crab |
5469s | there here yeah oh yeah I think I can |
5472s | just fertilize Windmill and make a |
5480s | thing yeah Monument fruit windmill m |
5502s | o |
5518s | he |
5550s | okay how do I Siege this base what do I |
5553s | need it looks like I'll need two base |
5555s | units in addition to the crab right |
5561s | so yeah good defense |
5565s | but with sing |
5569s | it's much more difficult yeah they're |
5571s | not not quite as I'm not sure if crab |
5574s | are as strong as |
5579s | uh how do I not get my main sieged right |
5581s | now oh my gosh |
5597s | dude oh I forgot about this auto flood |
5600s | okay that changes nothing but um changes |
5603s | nothing but |
5606s | yeah you just displayed how it |
5610s | works okay so they went ports and |
5624s | yeah I'm not sure if it's it was if it |
5627s | was worth it yeah he he uh he manually |
5631s | disband or not disbanded disembark |
5634s | disembarked |
5637s | yeah because with those flooded flooded |
5640s | tiles you have uh like different options |
5643s | so you can you can just you know float |
5646s | around or you can uh |
5648s | disembark uh actually |
5653s | um you can place ports on the flooded |
5656s | tiles so they don't have to be shallow |
5659s | water so |
5662s | yeah oh so he could have placed ports |
5664s | any of these places mhm yes exactly |
5694s | yeah that's a lot of archers there yeah |
5697s | it's a lot of stuff |
5699s | everywhere |
5701s | um I want to be able to make a uh a |
5704s | trident here who's from this |
5707s | base Tade that's you all right well I |
5711s | guess let's not do that if we kill |
5714s | ourselves into this I think this becomes |
5716s | killable right |
5726s | but I think he'll one shot you know with |
5728s | with the |
5730s | rammer oh my gosh the the things the |
5734s | forest are getting in the way too |
5746s | much now it's safe I don't want to move |
5749s | this but I can't not move it because |
5751s | units will get in range and kill my |
5756s | um what's his face guy all right and I |
5759s | guess I have to block this tile also |
5761s | yeah this is going so well oh my gosh |
5763s | this is |
5767s | fantastic you know never mind that my |
5769s | main will get sieged but |
5774s | uh I need something to clear out this |
5777s | abundance of units yeah but once this |
5781s | this trade |
5783s | engine goes in there it will be my |
5787s | hem okay |
5789s | H yeah damn he was in range still it's |
5793s | okay I mean as long as I can get it into |
5795s | a position where I can vet it and start |
5798s | doing actual damage again I think maybe |
5800s | it'll be okay maybe I don't know I might |
5803s | be coping right now but uh I mean we'll |
5804s | find out |
5820s | it's fine we knew that was going to |
5821s | happen right so the chat is is sad about |
5824s | Timmy gone I'm sad about Timmy also but |
5828s | he fell so that we could burn a city to |
5831s | the ground all right and and if if Timmy |
5835s | hates the humans the way Aquarian may or |
5838s | may not I'm not actually sure of the |
5839s | lore there then uh then it's then it's |
5842s | fine then it's fine |
5845s | can I still one sh kill this okay so I |
5847s | can kill that |
5849s | right so if I move this into position |
5852s | where I can kill this and kill something |
5855s | else that I can get a hit off of |
5878s | okay so yeah if I'm attack this and then |
5882s | move |
5885s | forward all |
5901s | right oh [ __ ] I don't have climb my gosh |
5904s | I have to buy every random little tech |
5906s | for |
5911s | this |
5912s | y have V yeah |
5915s | mhm nice move |
5920s | yeah okay I can't make I can't make |
5924s | another right now how much does this do |
5926s | 10 okay so if I chip with this oh I |
5930s | don't want this I don't that that was |
5932s | the Timmy chasing um yeah yeah I don't |
5935s | want the Timmy Chaser to get a yeah the |
5938s | evil |
5952s | guy |
5955s | um really I can't even kill that oh my |
5958s | gosh crabs crabs crabs crabs please |
5961s | crabs please |
5982s | you think it's GG because he can kill |
5983s | with a scout Archer I mean never never |

5987s | by a |
5989s | rammer oh or or just by that |
5993s | my gosh the Timmy chasing Defender |
5997s | dude |
6000s | yeah oh yeah it's it's a lot of sieges |
6003s | going |
6004s | on worst things could happen but this is |
6007s | quite bad |
6016s | yeah I think we can kill that right yeah |
6020s | I'm pretty sure a nine vet will will |
6024s | take out |
6025s | that they're chipping my crabs down and |
6028s | that's like my |
6029s | wall |
6043s | mhm the damn one HP Defender R uh Scout |

6084s | anymore it's fine it's fine it's |
6093s | fine oh my gosh I forgot I don't have a |
6096s | uh that thing I I can't even move my |
6097s | Aquarian units in the deep water that |
6099s | has been killing me all |
6107s | game yeah I I don't see you know you're |
6110s | coming back from this one |
6115s | that's that's a very astute observation |
6117s | I'll I'll I'll give you that |
6121s | one all right well all right it's he got |
6123s | the last Lighthouse it's over yeah I |
6125s | think I think we have we have I think |
6127s | we're out of |
6130s | advantages yeah your fork is |
6135s | dead yeah I don't know how I'll eat my |
6137s | spaghetti without |
6140s | it yeah so Chad uh now it's time to to |
6144s | um yeah to to okay give the floor to you |
6148s | so if you want to play with with fer |
6151s | that is you know trashing uh our po |
6154s | Champs |
6156s | Belo uh yeah it's you can you can uh so |
6160s | maybe let's let's uh let's create a game |
6162s | and put the put the invite Link in the |
6166s | in the chat how do I do that um new game |
6171s | um I do feel like playing a live game |
6174s | let's do a live one just in case someone |
6176s | decides to try to move slowly we'll just |
6178s | we'll just disallow yeah continue uh |
6182s | yeah pi and now |
6187s | um add and there's an invite link yeah |
6190s | invite link enable |
6193s | mhm okay I'm going to just drop that in |
6195s | the regular chat mhm |
6206s | yeah so it would be great if somebody |
6208s | someone has has Polaris and would like |
6210s | to play against against to to hop into |
6213s | this game you have to be playing on on |
6215s | the beta also or else it'll Force us |
6217s | into the old version by the way so only |
6219s | only people that that have |
6224s | beta please are like don't a is still |
6228s | like a two-point try at best I mean this |
6230s | is this is my first time trying it |
6232s | there's probably some things that I'm |
6233s | not doing that well but I feel like I |
6237s | get I get better every game that I've |
6240s | played of it so like i' I've thought |
6242s | about these things but without having |
6243s | tried it I I feel like Aquarian still |
6248s | definitely has kind of souy resources |
6252s | mhm um so options for macroing are I |
6257s | guess a little unfamiliar right now if I |
6259s | had time to sit down in macro plan then |
6261s | it could work hello yep we have someone |
6265s | well okay this will work someone sent me |
6268s | a game it wasn't with the invite link |
6269s | but we'll take it |
6273s | okay can you check if they have to uh |
6277s | yeah they are they are version yeah I |
6278s | looked at that first that was the first |
6280s | thing I looked at so pit Troy could |
6283s | start the game that would be cool let's |
6285s | go let's go |
6294s | what do we got 525 looks like a t0o |
6297s | tribe that went Warrior first I'm going |
6298s | to guess that's like singi but we'll |
6300s | find out |
6304s | mhm now there is an unfortunate Mountain |
6307s | on your way to the |
6313s | light yeah so it's arthus hey is do you |
6317s | know I was actually going to ask this is |
6319s | there any plans from mijan to add hot |
6322s | keys |
6323s | CU I find that playing live games on the |
6326s | computer is more challenging than |
6328s | playing them on the |
6329s | phone principally just because I can't |
6332s | like hit enter to end turn or uh |
6336s | mhm um I guess they would be you know |
6341s | useful |
6343s | but like with your question |
6347s | earlier I can't |
6349s | really uh say whether this is planned or |
6353s | or |
6361s | not o four turtles that's |
6365s | unusual I mean I was just happy that I |
6368s | have parallel fruit in two uh cities |
6373s | mhm two and three is the hotkey for |
6376s | score and Tech tree oh I mean my fingers |
6379s | are sitting on ASW or sorry on ASD and |
6382s | they're doing nothing uh it just feels |
6385s | it feels natural and correct for them to |
6387s | be there |
6390s | uhhuh but uh |
6393s | yeah wonder if four ends |
6398s | turn two three are Escape one is |
6402s | settings |
6404s | okay cuz I do use settings but I can't |
6408s | uh like when I'm doing a cast I'll you |
6410s | I'll hop into settings to do something |
6412s | mhm |
6415s | what are we doing |
6416s | here Nine Stars um I think I'm just |
6420s | going to make two more uh |
6428s | mermaids well four probably does because |
6431s | I just pushed it and it does in fact |
6434s | exit MH this one yeah all right so yeah |
6437s | one two three four are the buttons down |
6441s | here maybe if I'm in a thing I and |
6445s | options are up I could click 1 2 3 4 You |
6447s | know what let me try that |
6453s | mhm and it's not my turn oh okay okay |
6459s | sorry I was like okay yeah I'm going I'm |
6462s | going to try to click a base and tap one |
6464s | to build a warrior or something I don't |
6466s | know we'll see |
6467s | MH yeah that's that's interesting M yeah |
6471s | I'm also not a not a |
6474s | I was hoping for like w to like make a |
6476s | warrior or something but |
6487s | Kik yo Arthur you took a you took a |
6490s | freaking four-point tribe versus me bro |
6492s | bro you swear there were hock keys from |
6494s | before steam came out you could press |
6498s | enter that is what I would like uh I |
6503s | mean |
6503s | I think if if I remember correctly last |
6505s | time I pressed the enter key it left the |
6507s | game it's yeah it still does that |
6510s | pressing enter is like the same is just |
6514s | uh |
6515s | exits Escape actually brings you to the |
6517s | menu so that feels a little |
6521s | backwards all right well we see somebody |
6525s | we're going to pop onto this Village |
6527s | even though it might be a bad idea I |
6529s | don't know where all their units are |
6530s | though so |
6537s | we're going to |
6547s | go I guess we're going to go with some |
6550s | nice Rider roads um but we'll just start |
6552s | with |
6553s | riding |
6557s | mhm build two |
6561s | amphibians check the um the |
6564s | keys ah okay next turn right right all |
6568s | right well mhm four do I press four |
6572s | again enter |
6582s | okay okay so he knock you off all right |
6585s | let's let's kind of fix what was |
6587s | expected here mhm |
6593s | didn't hear if I said Arthur or arthus |
6596s | oh my gosh there's two of you yeah one |
6598s | is Arthur and the other is arthus oh |
6601s | yeah I think I think we're playing |
6602s | arthus arthus yes yeah cuz he said I |
6605s | invited you so damn k for climbing what |
6608s | the hell is |
6610s | that might be Scouts |
6616s | yeah one de early in the game okay well |
6620s | it's turn seven in there kako so that's |
6622s | m that |
6624s | checks yeah but with climbing it's like |
6628s | I |
6633s | know yeah let's |
6638s | go all right how am I going to afford to |
6642s | survive going to have to get waterways |
6646s | but can't quite afford to build an a to |
6649s | yet so let's go with this we'll move |
6653s | this this here we'll slap and |
6658s | um hang on if I go for a tolls right |
6661s | that's 10 I have eight I can place one |
6664s | my gosh that's not enough to do |
6667s | anything all right well I'm not going to |
6668s | be able to upgrade with the tolls next |
6670s | turn so I guess I'll just make another |
6672s | amphibian |
6683s | feels like maybe Aquarian has to go for |
6687s | like fewer units in the beginning this |
6690s | is I don't know this an interesting move |
6692s | from |
6694s | them I should be able to get a decent |
6696s | bounce out of that |
6697s | though like I think there's probably a |
6700s | village here CU I see the uh the |
6702s | shoreline on this tile and also the fish |
6705s | so they belong to |
6709s | some |
6711s | mhm so we can hope for that at least |
6723s | mhm I can Workshop in |
6726s | C2 uh with a tolls I mean I could I |
6730s | could do it with I can only build one a |
6733s | and an a tol won't connect to oh wait |
6734s | will an a tol connect to a city or only |
6736s | another a TOS oh my gosh no no with |
6739s | cities so it's like you you place one |
6740s | and it connects all was I was thinking I |
6744s | was thinking I wasn't thinking of them |
6745s | like my celium but yeah that's right |
6746s | that's how they're used yeah okay all |
6749s | right I botched that you know what maybe |
6752s | that's maybe that's why I've been this |
6754s | hasn't been uh that functional |
6756s | lately let's build this here cuz it |
6760s | doesn't matter |
6763s | right dude I should have built it in the |
6766s | freaking I should have built it in the |
6768s | capital cuz it would have L3 um |
6771s | yeah all right all right it's fine it's |
6778s | fine yeah we are |
6780s | fine |
6787s | yeah okay well that's not ideal but um |
6790s | all |
6791s | right I guess I'll just chill with that |
6794s | oh my gosh I can't afford to make any |
6796s | unit right now |
6817s | oh my gosh Macar with Aquarian is so |
6819s | awkward right |
6821s | now all |
6823s | right yeah I I can see your |
6826s | struggling a |
6829s | bit it's okay we're we're ahead on time |
6832s | so sure surely there will be plenty of |
6833s | moments to think coming up also not |
6836s | being able to go on deep water is uh |
6839s | like pretty awkward for uh for a |
6867s | all right will a toll here just to level |
6870s | actually no we don't have to when we |
6872s | capture this we'll a toll here and |
6873s | that'll upgrade M that'll Workshop yeah |
6877s | cuz that'll connect to here so we'll L3 |
6880s | here and then we can grab a |
6881s | fruit and then I guess uh we'll build in |
6884s | a toll on this base also actually so I |
6887s | don't have to no I need to build one |
6889s | here anyway okay actually no I can do |
6891s | this if I get fishing can do it with |
6893s | fruit so and I think we're probably are |
6895s | stuck doing that |
6896s | also all right so uh no Tech |
6901s | first right because then I won't be able |
6903s | to |
6904s | afford to do |
6913s | anything resources |
6916s | workshop and all right we said we're not |
6918s | going to make an AT toll there because |
6920s | we're going to use fish instead and |
6923s | we'll do that next turn it'll be a |
6924s | little more |
6940s | efficient dude my base Discovery is like |
6943s | non-existent oh there it is |
6953s | maybe I should send that one back for a |
6954s | lighthouse let me see if I fish I've got |
6957s | one plus a lighthouse |
6960s | to like just there is that's well we'll |
6963s | worry about a crab later we're clearly |
6966s | not at that point |
6972s | yet yeah but this the city setup is is |
6975s | quite quite good for you because all all |
6977s | of them can support you know one another |
6980s | and so they are you know you're not like |
6983s | kind of stretched like my my land mass |
6985s | is not as terrible as it's been in the |
6987s | past I feel like losing this city uh |
6990s | initially probably hurt me but otherwise |
6992s | we're okay |
6996s | mhm but yeah if I grab fish I can |
6999s | assault that South |
7004s | Base |
7010s | um I could have built in a toll in Len |
7014s | instead and upgraded with fruit for the |
7016s | new city oh yeah that's true |
7023s | mhm okay let's take this |
7026s | fishing we'll get a fish we'll get a |
7029s | fruit |
7048s | yeah I think |
7051s | he's he won't be able to un Siege here |
7057s | oh okay um all |
7062s | right so one swordsman is not enough but |
7065s | if he has scouts I would block if I if I |
7068s | were you I would block I will block if I |
7071s | can I think the most effective block |
7073s | would be |
7077s | here not sure it'll do it but um we'll |
7081s | try all right what else definitely worth |
7084s | worth |
7087s | it because it's a good good good base |
7091s | to um to attack |
7096s | him from the south |
7116s | actually it's funny because I did not |
7117s | expect Kiku and I put up a music |
7125s | so dude how am I going to kill this vet |
7127s | sword oh my |
7129s | gosh you only have to kill the warrior |
7134s | oh I mean next turn yeah I know if he uh |
7139s | whitle if he doesn't unsee but I feel |
7141s | like he could probably find a |
7146s | way even if he just softens |
7159s | now okay well good start I |
7163s | guess how are we doing this let's |
7169s | see yeah so |
7171s | Arthur uh says very winnable if he |
7174s | doesn't un |
7175s | Siege yeah but next turn he's going to |
7178s | tap with Warrior Siege with oh wait what |
7182s | if uh no I can't I was going to say what |
7185s | if I tap this Warrior and then like |
7187s | shift over it's not enough I think but |
7190s | no I'm pretty sure the six amp will die |
7196s | mhm um I guess we will just ouch my ear |
7200s | we'll just uh build a wall I |
7204s | guess it'll be F option |
7210s | mhm |
7213s | yep think you'll be safe easy easier |
7216s | Solutions okay all right that'll do mhm |
7238s | where it how far into gate of Peace am |
7241s | I uh a while oh wait all right I can get |
7246s | this and get a uh you know I can |
7247s | probably get a crap this turn I think I |
7249s | don't know I can't I can't do math right |
7251s | now |
7252s | but um I I'm gonna go with I think |
7261s | so wait nope I can't I'm too |
7265s | poor actually no I'm not I lied I lied |
7269s | okay yeah with on man yeah you |
7276s | can okay we are |
7278s | learning that's what's going on here um |
7282s | what else am I going to |
7300s | do I don't think I want to move that at |
7308s | all you're short on time um we're fine |
7327s | so we're going to I guess push our crab |
7329s | forward and we'll use that to assault |
7331s | this frontal |
7332s | base my opponent doesn't seem to have |
7336s | that much Tech right thankfully they got |
7338s | a vet sword which is now held back by us |
7341s | having a |
7344s | gosh he's keep |
7346s | moving maybe we can see some sharks uh |
7349s | maybe we actually have we have Tech to |
7351s | buy something for once that would be |
7354s | lovely because we haven't seen the the |
7358s | Sharks yet and we haven't seen yelli |
7360s | bellies and we haven't seen puffer |
7365s | fish I mean yeah it's it's tough to make |
7368s | it into late game on some of these |
7369s | smaller Maps um |
7376s | what is the best solution for this like |
7381s | sharks will be able to get into some of |
7384s | these areas right but they can't travel |
7386s | on land so I'd have to do an awful lot |
7387s | of flooding can you can you dash flood |
7390s | no |
7391s | right |
7396s | no so yeah sharks are going to have |
7398s | somewhat limited range |
7403s | um I could try anyway and use them to |
7406s | maybe SEC if there's a base up here then |
7408s | maybe I can use sharks to help secure |
7410s | that CU they can harass this Coastline |
7413s | mhm but I feel like they're not going to |
7415s | do anything that amphibians won't do |
7420s | better at least up in these tiny ass |
7425s | Lakes which way do I want to go um let's |
7428s | reveal this way |
7438s | okay yeah another light housee |
7444s | nice I still don't have the main I still |
7446s | don't have the lighthouse that I was |
7448s | like uh geared towards all right let's |
7452s | see what do I want to do here let's get |
7455s | rid of this Warrior right so that this |
7457s | area can feel a little less threatened |
7460s | yep |
7473s | he's making Defenders so I guess that's |
7475s | a good sign right yeah it's |
7478s | like okay that's less of a good sign |
7482s | where did he get this SC dude I don't |
7485s | know where this thing came from okay |
7487s | okay |
7490s | yeah all right it's okay I guess he has |
7493s | just just one one water tile next to his |
7496s | Capital must be it which is funny you |
7499s | know so if he wants he's going to want |
7502s | to kill this right so he's going to move |
7504s | here so we will just go for a oh |
7509s | shoot whoops whoops make |
7512s | stuff we're doing too much of that |
7514s | thinking yeah talking |
7530s | oh okay that wasn't what I was expecting |
7532s | but we'll take it what I mean I actually |
7535s | agree with that decision for |
7537s | him um leaving a juggernaut in the water |
7540s | like yeah he could kill something but |
7541s | then things tap it and don't get hit |
7544s | with any |
7545s | retaliation um yeah sure but it's like |
7547s | the lack of yeah playing playing playing |
7550s | defensively so |
7553s | oh I mean I'm perfectly willing for |
7554s | someone else to do the defending for |
7556s | once okay yeah seems fine yeah yeah I |
7560s | think we can go ahead and kill this |
7562s | swordsman uh and I should have time to |
7564s | heal because his Naval force is like one |
7567s | vessel right |
7568s | now yeah he doesn't he he has just one |
7571s | tire of water excess so yeah that's |
7573s | really bad for |
7577s | him so actually if I if I were if I was |
7581s | him I would have um B A grow with the in |
7585s | his Capital to get you know two tiles of |
7589s | mhm so actually three tiles of |
7595s | ports because you are not you know |
7597s | threatening him so you could you know |
7602s | just wait for the for the Giants a bit |
7609s | more yeah swords |
7620s | nice uh I think we have to go with |
7629s | that yeah we'll not reveal which way |
7632s | we're going to go with that one yet make |
7635s | more stuff and uh let's pull these back |
7638s | to here |
7645s | oh whoops I was going to make an a to |
7647s | there but I cannot all right let me grab |
7649s | hunting so I can finish macroing things |
7652s | actually uh yeah you know what cuz I |
7655s | don't have enough like population with |
7657s | some of these otherwise |
7661s | mhm oh find me |
7668s | Turtles um we'll go with one more of |
7670s | those and |
7673s | yeah you can grab lighthouse in the in |
7676s | the |
7678s | back well I can't do that quite yet but |
7681s | I will after no I mean behind your your |
7684s | Capital oh yeah that's true I could I |
7687s | could grab that and I could take the |
7688s | South one also once this once I get rid |
7690s | of this Warrior |
7695s | y yeah I'm just hoping I can use my crab |
7698s | to push up on this base that I that was |
7700s | like initially the base was stolen from |
7702s | me long ago it was mine and now then it |
7705s | wasn't and I want it back yes my |
7717s | precious I mean I maybe could even run |
7719s | up on it with base units right like I've |
7722s | got enough stuff to kind of just not |
7724s | like surround it and kill it but since |
7727s | my opponent doesn't appear to have |
7728s | riders or anything if I just land |
7730s | something on it and then |
7732s | put like like retreat a unit over here I |
7735s | might be able to just kind of uh take |
7738s | that base just by by force with like |
7741s | tiny units and then my crab can just |
7743s | keep marching towards like |
7745s | Lilo |
7748s | mhm okay this Warrior has turned around |
7750s | so they have they have relinquished this |
7752s | this water to me mhm yeah because they |
7756s | they got the the lighthouse so and they |
7759s | they are not able to to take the city |
7761s | back so |
7762s | keeping this Warrior there is like |
7764s | doesn't make any sense we got a border |
7766s | growth yeah so this border growth is |
7768s | actually um I would I would uh argue |
7773s | that this is this was the right |
7776s | decision so obviously you know he has |
7780s | more he has more Forest now |
7785s | but |
7787s | um but I also I think he messed up the |
7791s | like greina nice Sawmill um spot with |
7801s | the with a |
7812s | monument all |
7814s | right so you're going for for |
7819s | Siege yeah I feel like that's the play |
7823s | here |
7826s | mhm let's |
7828s | sacrifice H we'll sacrifice this one |
7832s | mm yeah so spicy onion says toer knut |
7835s | and swordsman could have gotten uh him |
7838s | his City back yeah so that's why |
7841s | swordsman is |
7848s | gone mhm Yeah by softening those to |
7855s | it's all right let's get a higher Tech |
7860s | um and we will make a shark here because |
7863s | that's what's going to chip down the |
7865s | Giant and I guess never mind |
7874s | mhm yeah so two Warriors that are like 9 |
7878s | HP or lower can't kill a 10 HP Warrior |
7882s | one of them if one of them's a 10 the |
7883s | other one could be as low as a five just |
7886s | by chipping those two down since I |
7888s | noticed my opponent doesn't have Riders |
7889s | he's not going to be able to Road |
7890s | something up to this city to get to |
7895s | it at least that's the Hope |
7903s | right yeah I think so too he's this city |
7906s | is gone for him |
7912s | surprised I haven't seen any like raft |
7914s | or anything come out of this tile |
7920s | yet um so spicy onion is asking about |
7924s | prediction uh for uh the future Aquarian |
7927s | skin do you actually like skins do you |
7929s | have them do you buy them I usually do |
7933s | not |
7935s | um not out of principle or anything I've |
7938s | just never seen one that made me want it |
7941s | really badly what about thean midnight |
7945s | the Yan skin looks really good but I |
7947s | feel like I feel bad it's like when you |
7950s | capture a city with the new yyan skin |
7952s | all of the animals in it basically um |
7955s | insta die and become Graves and then you |
7958s | bring them back as demons it just I |
7959s | don't know okay so it doesn't it doesn't |
7962s | feel right for you okay yeah it feels |
7965s | like the it feels like the brutality is |
7967s | is a bit steep that's that's that's |
7969s | really that's really what it comes down |
7971s | to |
7972s | okay all right what am I building uh |
7975s | should I get any Tech before I |
7977s | capture uh I don't know if this is the |
7980s | most sensible thing but since we're |
7982s | already on one starfish |
7985s | TR can't afford one yet but oh can I |
7988s | type one nope that doesn't work anyway |
7991s | all right trying to see if there was |
7993s | going to be a button to make a mermaid |
7995s | but it appears that the answer is still |
7997s | not |
8007s | oh my gosh killer Monument now okay |
8010s | we'll take it he's got enough to Siege |
8012s | this base if he really wanted to but um |
8015s | he wouldn't be able to steal it from me |
8017s | so we we don't mind mhm all right those |
8021s | two 9 HPS can heal anywhere good |
8026s | enough just in time yeah when we when we |
8029s | run out of time in a live game it just |
8032s | ends our turn in whatever that we were |
8034s | in the middle of doing instead of like |
8036s | just being a loss so y as long as we get |
8040s | as long as we get close enough then uh |
8043s | it's it's almost like having gotten |
8044s | there |
8050s | mhm yeah crabs being like kind of almost |
8053s | forced into being defensive is kind of |
8056s | strange but I guess we're getting used |
8058s | to the idea |
8061s | yeah so one boy your Nemesis say sharks |
8064s | will be a great uh will be great for |
8066s | denying him water control and for siing |
8070s | uh Naval |
8075s | cities so the ASD asdw Keys only move |
8080s | the map around so so far in terms of hot |
8082s | Keys we've got moving mhm um and |
8086s | spamming the uh the one two three four |
8089s | buttons mhm |
8092s | all right let's make |
8094s | a yell belly and I don't know why this |
8098s | giant didn't attack the shark but all |
8101s | right hang on with 10 with 19 that's |
8104s | into like the oh I don't die from this |
8106s | anymore |
8109s | range I feel like a nine will probably |
8111s | survive this hit right yes okay |
8126s | yeah we are going to start forcibly |
8131s | terraforming I guess I can just make |
8133s | sharks anywhere since all these flooded |
8135s | tiles basically count as water |
8140s | yep set up a nice defensive thing if I |
8142s | make the yelli willly does it insta oh |
8144s | my God yeah it it damages the |
8148s | surrounding units that just seems mean |
8151s | and that even if you push uh yell belly |
8155s | it will uh make |
8158s | damage so if you if you uh make a crab |
8161s | and then you your y belly gets pushed it |
8165s | it |
8166s | also uh |
8170s | damages okay we're we're making we're |
8173s | going like full Tech units now mhm |
8187s | can I move this onto I probably have to |
8189s | flood those tiles |
8192s | right |
8194s | mhm yeah so only crabs and all those |
8198s | mermaid units can uh can move on uh on |
8203s | the solid |
8204s | line cuz yelli bellies it's like they |
8208s | are floating so the yelli belly it |
8210s | doesn't say anything about it but can I |
8212s | go on I can't go onto a mountain with |
8214s | like yellis or sharks right no no that's |
8217s | that's also a thing you that's like a |
8219s | natural part of the float |
8221s | ability |
8224s | yeah so you can't move them on the on |
8227s | the mountains |
8233s | yeah ooh I see some |
8236s | CBL interesting |
8239s | mhm well we have creep but we can't |
8243s | reach those yet all right so let's go |
8249s | with I mean we're just going to brew |
8252s | Force stuff right |
8257s | mhm all right yeah we'll make we'll make |
8260s | sharks at all the rear bases oh shoot |
8262s | that wasn't what I was trying to do all |
8263s | right |
8268s | whatever H commit commit we'll just |
8270s | we'll just commit commit it's |
8274s | fine |
8276s | um my gosh there's like nowhere there's |
8279s | there's no normal buildings to |
8288s | make what do you have back here let's |
8290s | see it yeah so there's this one tile |
8294s | where p a port |
8310s | let's get some of these Warriors killed |
8313s | off well actually all right not this one |
8316s | this one let's |
8317s | flood okay |
8343s | all right I |
8348s | think let's just keep let's we'll we'll |
8351s | use those for mostly auto flood and |
8354s | we'll rely on all this this other wealth |
8356s | of units that exists oh you know what I |
8358s | never did I never made an a to here oh |
8361s | that didn't change anything whoops never |
8363s | mind yes so the the chat |
8366s | requ has has a request to to go puffer |
8370s | fish okay cter the the the |
8374s | catapults we are just two TS away so I |
8377s | think we can I think we can oblige them |
8386s | yep I was I was going to go Mass seafood |
8390s | and just go with |
8391s | shark crab and jellies but um okay |
8396s | sure shark crab jelly and |
8401s | turtle but uh yeah you can eat you can |
8403s | eat puffer fish so you know what let's |
8405s | let's do that |
8450s | let's get this killed off |
8492s | get in here for a little more Vision |
8495s | mhm and also threaten this |
8499s | catapult yes okay we've made we've made |
8502s | a path for my sharks now |
8505s | yeah and yell bellies |
8530s | so what do you think about the Y Bing |
8532s | mechanics do you like |
8534s | it I mean I'm kind of using it like a |
8537s | blunt force object right now just |
8539s | ramming them forward I'm not not sure if |
8541s | that's how they should be used yet |
8545s | mhm why would he not use the catapults |
8548s | for that job oh my gosh he wants to pull |
8550s | them back okay |
8567s | M okay |
8572s | well all right so I can't push my yelli |
8574s | forward right because it only travels on |
8576s | floods so I guess we're going to move |
8579s | this one here yeah we're going to kill |
8581s | this we're going to snipe this |
8585s | catapult okay all right yes the seafood |
8587s | is |
8595s | cooking all right that did less damage |
8597s | than I thought oh right okay I still get |
8599s | am getting zoned all right mhm yeah zone |
8601s | of control is still a |
8606s | thing this is like a one shark all right |
8609s | so the issue with |
8629s | that two three I think all right I |
8632s | cannot |
8634s | kill the uh is this enough |
8638s | yes I'm not going to be able to kill the |
8640s | Catapult but I am going to be able to |
8642s | run up on it mm yeah we |
8647s | can we'll just we'll just go for some |
8650s | real awkward |
8651s | surrounds |
8657s | mhm didn't leave myself any space nope |
8660s | never mind we're |
8665s | fine |
8667s | mhm so boy gamer says I like the rework |
8671s | I really uh it really captures the |
8673s | essence of the sea folk and I like the Y |
8676s | fish |
8678s | idea yeah the yellis are a nice idea |
8680s | it's always good to have something just |
8682s | that changes the mechanics of how things |
8685s | work um man how are we going to get |
8688s | these in |
8689s | here yeah because for since since the |
8692s | the special tribes were introduced I |
8694s | think Aquarian was like uh a bit of like |
8699s | you know poor cousin so you know aquar |
8702s | sorry Alyan and simanti and uh others |
8706s | they had like their kind of special you |
8710s | know |
8711s | like uh units and the mechanics and |
8715s | Aquarian was kind |
8716s | of I don't know abandoned in a process |
8720s | that that's that that was my um I mean I |
8723s | feel like the the forks the tridion |
8727s | always made them feel very |
8729s | unique um maybe not very unique but like |
8732s | certainly unique enough |
8736s | mhm yeah but that's that's the the the |
8739s | only the only um unit that |
8744s | differentiated them from no look at this |
8746s | my my jellyfish died and there's all |
8748s | these tentacles left over on the ground |
8751s | y they they leave the tentacles does |
8754s | that still hurt no I don't think so okay |
8759s | and I and they disappear I think after |
8761s | one turn ah okay okay no peace no peace |
8765s | no peace |
8772s | no uh yeah so spicy onion is asking why |
8775s | does the giant uh not retaliate because |
8778s | the the sharks have the ability which is |
8783s | called um sneak I think surprise yeah oh |
8787s | surprise yeah and they they that's why |
8790s | the the Giants are don't don't |
8793s | retaliate so it's it's uh pretty much uh |
8798s | it's like the semanti fichi yeah like |
8800s | fichi I wanted to say say that mhm |
8828s | all right we definitely need a better |
8830s | way to flood tiles so I guess that |
8831s | really is |
8834s | mainly did you get the the puffer fish |
8837s | yes I can't afford a puffer fish yet and |
8840s | I don't have a place to build |
8842s | it I actually kind of want to like |
8844s | disband some of these things oh my gosh |
8847s | let's put a shark over here actually |
8849s | maybe we can sneak past some |
8855s | things okay that doesn't have to move |
8858s | but if it's able to FL you can cut you |
8860s | can cut one uh one Forest there in the |
8864s | in the west and then you can get a |
8866s | buffer |
8869s | fish yeah |
8871s | let's |
8875s | go all right well the only tile in range |
8878s | that needs to be flooded is this so I |
8880s | guess we'll puff forward yep to this |
8884s | mountain |
8887s | mhm I think at this point the seafood is |
8890s | just too strong though like there's too |
8891s | much Seafood here |
8895s | mhm yeah your |
8898s | opponent's he's looking like me in the |
8900s | other game yeah yeah I wanted to say |
8902s | that that's mean that's what you were |
8904s | gonna say yeah that's |
8909s | me yes already people say they are they |
8912s | love buffer |
8915s | fish it's definitely a delicious snack |
8918s | if I ever saw one |
8934s | oh oh all right we'll make a space oh |
8936s | that that that was cool so like uh flood |
8940s | two two tiles |
8943s | mhm can I kill this now how do I kill |
8945s | this now let's see |
8977s | hello server okay there we go yeah but |
8980s | don't kill all the units so we can see |
8981s | the help puffer fish attacks |
8991s | I can't reach him with any of my other |
8993s | units |
8996s | okay Puffs |
9000s | Puffs Puffs force him to |
9006s | respond can this slip through here it |
9008s | should be able to right actually I don't |
9010s | know if I can slip through an enemy base |
9012s | but we'll find out |
9026s | okay if I attack a unit it'll it'll |
9029s | flood |
9031s | automatically yeah oh nice |
9034s | M okay we'll build a |
9042s | path why is this not oh my gosh it's |
9044s | still counts R |
9048s | yeah and there's also this Defender oh |
9050s | maybe it's just that |
9054s | mhm okay all right hang on can I travel |
9057s | oh I can I can just I can just go right |
9059s | through the |
9063s | space yeah there was the defender |
9073s | okay yeah so we saw how the puffer fish |
9077s | work very briefly but |
9095s | nevertheless yeah they surrendered we'll |
9097s | we'll we'll let this base live mhm |
9112s | y look at that chat we got a win can you |
9113s | believe |
9115s | it |
9119s | yeah all right let me yo arthus GG thank |
9123s | you for the |
9124s | battle MH good game good game |
9128s | arthus thank you for allowing us to show |
9132s | all the uh all the units from from |
9136s | Aquarian uh yeah and I think so like any |
9140s | any last thoughts because we'll be |
9141s | wrapping up this this live stream um I I |
9145s | have like very early flight tomorrow so |
9148s | I have to H yes we've got to let them |
9151s | we've got to let our host go but let's |
9153s | uh let's let's summarize what are your |
9155s | thoughts on uh on this |
9159s | rework well |
9162s | um my thoughts on the rework mhm I feel |
9166s | like it's well it's I mean I probably |
9169s | need more practice with it it's pretty |
9170s | awkward in the early game mhm |
9178s | um let me take a look at this this |
9181s | replay from this wyot game see what had |
9185s | gone so AR right I feel like uh maybe |
9188s | Aquarian could have more fruit I guess |
9193s | like I feel like there's there's in a |
9195s | couple of games there was like a lack of |
9197s | resource |
9198s | parallelity um |
9201s | and the resources not lining up made |
9204s | some early game macro really really |
9207s | difficult U maybe if I'm just using a |
9209s | tolls better uh it could be made to work |
9212s | more easily but um yeah it's probably |
9217s | you know I'm I'm not practiced enough to |
9219s | say I don't like to be one of those |
9220s | people who uh you know encounters a new |
9223s | patch and and complains right away like |
9225s | like when diplomacy came out and it was |
9227s | way overpowered I was like uh I probably |
9230s | to figure out a way to play around this |
9231s | right like I've never I've never just |
9233s | gone the route of oh no diplomacy is too |
9235s | strong it needs to be nerfed or whatever |
9238s | um so I don't know I might be unique in |
9241s | that Viewpoint of you need to take more |
9243s | time with it to really like get a feel |
9245s | for how it works so like yeah my initial |
9248s | reaction is that like I don't like being |
9250s | so poor every game but it might have |
9252s | just been it was it's a small sample |
9254s | size right I played three |
9255s | games um I don't know if I'm pretty sure |
9259s | the first one was a total spawn loss |
9260s | because I lost my first city uh that's |
9262s | just you know early encounters can be |
9264s | like that it can be very unforgiving on |
9265s | like 196 size Maps yeah |
9269s | um for the other games I'm not sure I |
9272s | probably just didn't it's probably you |
9275s | know playing fast and not being like |
9277s | super mindful it uh it was tough but um |
9280s | it seems like a fun patch it's got a lot |
9282s | of new units to learn um and I'm looking |
9285s | forward to getting more acquainted with |
9286s | it because it was a lot of fun to use |
9288s | things like sharks and um yeah the |
9292s | puffers I don't |
9293s | know yeah for for me it's it feels more |
9297s | much more consistent that you know this |
9299s | Aquarian that um that was introduced in |
9303s | the in the past so now they are they |
9305s | they actually have this feeling of of |
9307s | being in a special tribe instead of kind |
9309s | of being this you know uh like a poor |
9313s | cousin uh being the the you know the the |
9316s | worst tribe the worst tribe of of etopia |
9320s | I like that it gets to terraform maybe |
9322s | we need one other unit that's able to |
9325s | like auto flood but um I don't know I'm |
9328s | I'm not |
9329s | sure like it might have just been that I |
9332s | wasn't being that mindful about the way |
9335s | I was conducting my Siege but even when |
9337s | I was on the offensive and conducting a |
9338s | Siege I feel like it beca it be it could |
9342s | probably become kind of like trench |
9343s | warfare the way that you are with like |
9345s | denying ice from |
9348s | Polaris but so we'll see I don't know I |
9351s | hope they I hope that the uh the |
9352s | strategies that emerge from this patch |
9354s | will be interesting and uh as long as it |
9357s | supplies that and and you know makes the |
9359s | game feel continue to feel new and fresh |
9362s | then I'm all for it |
9364s | great uh okay so that was that was it uh |
9370s | thank you ferster for for being a you're |
