64s	about the uh upcoming upcoming uh rework
68s	uh my name is Adam uh you might know me
71s	from the PO champs as ASG AO uh today I
75s	have fer with me on
79s	board hi hi fer hi gate and hello chat
84s	how is it going it's going pretty good
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
5985s	mind the East base getting sieged here
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
6074s	huh okay well we're not able to uneg
6076s	that oh my gosh we're broke mhm
6080s	y zero we don't we don't need this we
6083s	don't need this we don't need this crab
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
9373s	very

Transcript (by Youtube)

31s	oh
79s	uh hello polytopians welcome to the poly
82s	uh to the polytopia official uh YouTube
86s	channel um my name is Gul uh you might
90s	know me from employ champs as uh as Gazo
94s	my name is Adam welcome to the stream um
97s	and
99s	today uh my guest is uh wanie boy
103s	welcome W
105s	boy hell uh so I'm money boy um you
108s	might also know me from um well either
111s	from the poia main Discord where I've
113s	been a moderator for for a while um
115s	although I retired now I'm part of the
118s	Kraken team um and I have been part of
121s	the cish team back when that one existed
123s	in poly Champs I've been a player in
126s	poly ladder and I've done some um Giants
129s	league as well so I've been around the
131s	polyopia scene in different kinds of
134s	tournaments you are an experienced
136s	player am but at the moment I'm actually
138s	mainly um enjoying myself playing the
140s	polyopia
142s	beta yeah uh so you you made a um a bit
146s	of introduction but uh uh I usually ask
150s	some additional questions so how how did
152s	you discover polytopia uh how was uh how
156s	that's that story goes how I discovered
160s	polyopia
162s	um well um I was um on a trip a trip uh
167s	I organized for um for a friend whose
170s	birthday it was so we did like this big
172s	birthday trip for her and some point we
174s	had to take the train from one um place
175s	to the next place and while on the trip
178s	A friend told me like hey I have this
180s	game on my phone um do you want to play
182s	with me oh sure why not and so we played
185s	politopia uh on as play I completely
189s	destroyed him at that point I realized
191s	like hey this game might be fun so I
194s	downloaded it and um started playing by
196s	myself so which year was it uh which
200s	year was it um how old how old are you
202s	as a poopi how old I am believe I'm now
207s	four years old as a popian is that
209s	possible okay four four or five years
212s	although in the first year I um I only
214s	played single player it's only after um
217s	I think I started playing
219s	multiplayer a few months before simti
221s	came out
223s	okay so what's your favorite tribe
227s	important question oh definitely are you
230s	a main or do you play all of them I play
233s	all of them butan is definitely my
236s	favorite I've never really understood
238s	the concept of being a main in Opia
240s	because there's so many different fun
242s	tries so many different things that feel
245s	fun like for example um what's it called
247s	again
248s	quali I really like them just because
251s	they like they're not a good tribe in
254s	One V one situations but their economy
256s	just feels so smooth like they have so
258s	many resources you have your early
260s	Shields so the opponent can't overwhelm
262s	you is like it's like how should I say
265s	it it just feels very solid to play it
268s	to play with them you will always have
269s	at least
270s	some kind of
272s	game but yeah I I play Everything I'd
276s	say probably do you have all the tribes
279s	oh yeah I have all of them okay I got
282s	all of them quite I think within a few
286s	months of starting multiplayer I wanted
287s	to have all the tribes okay because yeah
290s	like I mean why not it's a fun game and
294s	I I was buying them gradually so and I
297s	waited the longest for Luxor because
299s	it's for some reason it's it's like it
302s	costs you know twice or three times as
304s	much as the the other ones so yeah that
308s	is true but then like at some point you
309s	sit there having all the tribes except
311s	for lador and like okay should I be the
314s	completionist should I buy buy the last
316s	one and I mainly realized that well I've
319s	spent so many hours playing this game
322s	and if you put all the tries together is
324s	like what 20 so yeah yeah like well this
328s	game is it's a bargain yeah to just buy
331s	them all and i' got so much more value
334s	out of the game already I've bought all
336s	all the Skins as well but even then I
339s	mean for me it's the it's probably the
341s	game I played most in my entire life
342s	actually lopia uhuh no I I don't have
345s	all the Skins I I dislike the the Kali
349s	actually I think it's it's it's so bad
353s	but anyway
357s	please um okay um so maybe maybe last
361s	last question before we start start
363s	playing some games um what do you like
367s	and what do you dislike about Opia
370s	probably after so many years of of
372s	playing you have some some things that
375s	uh annoy you
377s	maybe uh which ones do you want first
379s	likes or
381s	dislikes whatever you feel like so what
384s	I really like about politopia is the
387s	fact that um it is Prett
391s	strategic but like if I see a giant
394s	there and I have 10 10 Warriors I know I
398s	will be able to kill the Giants there's
400s	no RNG there's no oh no chance to miss
404s	can you can have incomplete information
407s	but the information that you do have is
408s	correct and that's something I really
410s	appreciate in the strategy game because
412s	I've played a lot of other strategy
413s	games as well and just feels so bad to
417s	lose your tank because the opponent got
420s	a critical hit MH or to um have your
423s	Archer with 99% hit chance shoot Archer
426s	and shoot the Assassin and nothing
429s	happens it's like that's something I
431s	appreciate about polyopia is that you do
432s	actually have the consistency in
434s	that um something I really dislike about
438s	polyopia not doesn't have to be really
440s	some you know Minor Detail okay minor
442s	dislikes then no I I do dislike that
445s	some texts don't give you too many don't
447s	give you too many uh nice goodies
450s	mhm um I know the team is aware of that
453s	but it's like work in progress to
455s	actually revent three so I guess it's
458s	fine although the one dech I am really
461s	still bothered about and they did just
463s	rework at the naval Branch so I don't
465s	think we will see anything new about
467s	that is um
469s	aquatis okay aquatis is such an
472s	important Tech in this in this game um
474s	because once you buy it every single
477s	ship you have every single unit on the
478s	water you have get defense boost so it's
481s	not really a tactical Tech to buy if you
484s	buy climbing you now now you have the
487s	chance to like put unit on the mountain
489s	and suddenly that unit is in in a
490s	offensive position suddenly that unit
492s	now does something tactical if you have
494s	four archery you can now Place units in
497s	a forest to get tactical advantages if
499s	you buy aquatis the ships are already in
501s	water so there's no more tactical
503s	decisions making you're not putting a
505s	POS unit specifically in a defensive
507s	position no all units just get the
509s	defense bonus
510s	and I quite dislike that because it's it
513s	has such a big impact on the game and on
516s	what goes what for example a rammer
518s	suddenly Doesn't Kill A Warrior's card
520s	anymore once they get
522s	equitis and it feels a bit bad to me
526s	that's such an important thing is just
528s	just hidden behind you buy the deack and
530s	now you have it for economy yeah
533s	yeah I'm actually not not using
536s	aquatis very very often so it's you know
539s	because it's it's it's expensive so uh
542s	how many you know tier three Texs can
544s	you get you know it's you have your
547s	economy would have to you know like be
548s	really booming and I'm not playing those
550s	those uh you know huge Maps it's like
553s	for me it's it's it's takes too long so
556s	on a on you know like a small lakes or
558s	drylands uh uh yeah it's uh the game is
562s	faster so um usually you know there are
565s	like some some paths that that you take
568s	and aquatis is not usually not on the
572s	list anyway thanks thanks for sharing
575s	all all this uh all those uh stories and
578s	and um your insights um and so now I'll
581s	share how how the this stream will look
585s	like because we have today we have the
588s	uh we have uh three codes to to give
590s	away uh
592s	so um when I finish talking uh will do
596s	the first draw uh after the first game
600s	that one you will play with uh with
602s	someone I will do a second draw and then
605s	uh after the second game we'll do a
607s	third draw and after this uh this third
611s	code is is drawn we'll do the the
614s	questions that you've sent us thank you
616s	everyone for for sending for submitting
619s	the the questions uh I was I was a
621s	littleit worried that we will have none
624s	but you did a great job and then
627s	eventually I think we have 15
630s	uh different questions to answer uh so
633s	that's uh yeah that's how how it will
636s	look like okay so let's do the first
641s	draw I have a very professional looking
645s	uh

767s	yeah so so if you um if you if you want
771s	to play uh that's not a problem but we
773s	would like to play the the beta so uh so

785s	the with the update uh yeah so that's
789s	uh so send send one boy a friend request

803s	chat that is also another option first
806s	person to join it mhm um
810s	and let's do small games uh with uh yeah
814s	with with with the
816s	timer
818s	yeah maybe okay yeah we can do we can do
821s	we can
822s	do ping it live okay so let's do live
826s	because then then it's it's it's
829s	faster I'll aquarium so
832s	aquarium and then an invite
835s	link and I'll share the
838s	link okay
840s	I'm already getting multiple friend
841s	invites
843s	mhm so I'll share the link in um the
846s	YouTube and first person to click it get
848s	to join MH
850s	yeah all right and there we
862s	go how do you like the the changes that
865s	that are coming what's your what's your
868s	opinion
871s	um well I'm really glad that Aquarian is
874s	seeing some love because it's been a bit
876s	of a pro problematic tribe for a while
879s	it's been very good in some regards very
882s	very bad in other regards and with this
885s	these changes I think they Mel about a
887s	bit but also they get a little bit more
888s	special feel to
890s	them okay okay third friend request but
893s	still nobody who is actually joining my
896s	invite link so maybe at Justin because I
900s	think it will be easier this way so if
902s	you could add because I I saw that
906s	they yeah all right they are in your on
909s	your friends
911s	list
918s	Justin right um that means I'll be have
921s	to be afraid of um getting rer down in
924s	this
925s	game okay good
927s	luck game need needs um let's see here
931s	um I think I would want to move over the
934s	water here and because doing so I can
936s	create a second place where justtin
937s	Riders can't reach
939s	me with small continents like this um
943s	the chances are
945s	decent that um we're on the same content
948s	and actually I didn't check the score oh
953s	well nice nice mhm so I already got my
957s	Outpost here which will be can be really
960s	depending on how the game goes other
962s	than that I'm not thinking of exploring
964s	the land a bit more because land is
965s	where I will have more Villages but this
967s	Village is the most important
969s	one um I think I will be going for
973s	organization looking at the fruits here
975s	the fruits I have here um generally or
978s	organization is actually the first thing
979s	I buy um with Aquarian even though you
982s	would think oh well they're the water
984s	type let's go for fishing but
989s	they have quite good fruit and with a
992s	new aquarium you do spend quite a lot of
994s	time on the land you don't immediately
997s	go out into into the ocean yeah maybe
1000s	tell tell a bit more about that because
1002s	now it's there is a big change because
1005s	the look of the uh Aquarian terrain has
1008s	not changed but there is a significant
1011s	change uh in terms of terrain
1014s	right um so yeah the terrain that we
1017s	have here um it's called flood rain ah
1020s	too bad I actually hoped it would go
1022s	back and reveal whatever was back there
1025s	MH this does look like quite an
1027s	interesting
1028s	map um so yeah sorry the Aquarian
1031s	terrain so we do have this here called a
1034s	flooded terrain you can see it down here
1037s	and flooded terrain means that this
1038s	terrain is actually accessible to water
1041s	units so for example a rammer or Scouts
1044s	can move across this flooded
1047s	terrain um can move across L of terrain
1050s	to get to you to get to other people um
1053s	mhm and it's difficult to uh to talk and
1057s	to play the same time with this timer
1059s	and so ships can Sail on that now not
1063s	only ships can Sail on that your own
1064s	water units can also go on that so for
1067s	example a trid denan or an amphibian can
1071s	move two tiles on the water they can
1073s	move two tiles on flooded terrains but
1075s	it can only move one tile on regular
1077s	lands so for it to ventions for your
1080s	amphibians you want to move around on a
1082s	flooded terrain the same if we look into
1085s	the tech Tre Aquarian now has things new
1088s	few new units the shark and a jellyfish
1091s	maybe we will see more about them a bit
1093s	later but these um are water
1097s	units um so they they can't they can't
1100s	move on uh solid land yeah exactly you
1105s	have to you have to so this is also a
1108s	new thing you have to
1110s	the um the land to in order to be able
1115s	to uh attack with the with the shark or
1118s	move your uh
1121s	jelly yeah exactly so they they can't
1123s	invade inlands um yes they will be able
1127s	to they are able to later on in the
1131s	game so how are you feeling so you're
1134s	playing against umaji right I am playing
1136s	against omaji but I'm actually wondering
1139s	where where he is because I already
1140s	explored so much I'm going for waterways
1143s	by the way so I will need I can help you
1145s	there in this in the South delay one
1148s	more yeah there's a
1151s	lots I already discovered a lot of Terin
1153s	here I was afraid he would be near me
1157s	actually he might um be somewhere here
1160s	kill my fibian and bounce right to my
1161s	Capital I hope he doesn't do
1164s	that yeah and but it does look like
1166s	we're on separate continents oh wow a
1169s	ship
1172s	already two
1176s	ships then two ships is rough yeah so
1181s	means I will have trouble here but um
1184s	because I meet him I can now buy my
1186s	waterways and I'll actually be able to
1188s	um put down a pretty nice one here yeah
1193s	this this is yeah this is also a new
1194s	thing I will help you a bit uh we have
1198s	uh so at were introduced and they work
1202s	uh pretty much the same as the
1206s	mycelium so they don't build typical
1210s	roads but they
1212s	um they enable um so like they give you
1217s	the the the way to to connect your your
1221s	cities um and in prev previous versions
1225s	of the beta they would give you one
1228s	population but this uh the population is
1231s	is is now gone so so no no no Pops from
1235s	from at yeah although still in
1238s	situations like this one here where I
1240s	had cities quite close to each other um
1243s	I could actually get quite a lot of um
1245s	quite a lot of stars from it because I
1247s	only put down two adults I believe I got
1249s	one two three four five six six
1253s	population by doing that I was able to
1255s	upgrade both of these
1257s	cities no actually I was able to upgrade
1259s	every single City thanks to my adults so
1262s	this was a really good situation to use
1264s	them
1265s	in justini is coming closer and it's
1268s	being really really
1269s	annoying um but I do think that's
1274s	ah right I don't yet have a deep water
1277s	movement so I can't actually go up to
1279s	him to hit him yeah that's that's
1283s	problem that is okay that's where
1286s	justini is MHM um so I do want deep
1290s	water movement soon um I can get fishing
1293s	now because I have three fish here mhm
1296s	yeah that will give me some
1300s	stars um I will
1304s	move am I going to do this so I want my
1307s	aians to be ready next turn I will buy
1311s	marine life and I will get my
1313s	water so for now I want them to be ready
1315s	to
1316s	attack I want the second one over here
1319s	for
1320s	sure um where should I put them
1324s	actually maybe I
1326s	should move this one up
1330s	here because I'm quite close to getting
1333s	a giant uh sorry giant crap in capital
1337s	so if I can
1339s	get liouse yeah this one here Lighthouse
1343s	I'll be uh I'll be where I need to be
1346s	okay and then let's make
1352s	um no let's not let's leave that this
1354s	for now
1364s	mhm okay it's quite
1368s	even okay so he moved
1372s	back
1374s	yeah oh boy um he already has porse here
1377s	and porse here and P M he's now getting
1381s	getting an Explorer so he will
1384s	probably be uh be seeing what I'm
1388s	doing yeah but once you get this crab it
1391s	will be really hard for him to to fight
1395s	back move oh oh that's nice that's so
1399s	nice yeah so lucky so with this I can
1403s	now get
1405s	myself a
1407s	crap mhm
1409s	perfect move this one here move this one
1412s	here another Village
1415s	M um I think your position is quite
1420s	strong yes I'm just uh need to make sure
1423s	that he can't kill this amphibian
1425s	here Tre oh you can move up to here so
1430s	here I should be
1434s	safe yes let's move here
1439s	technically he could maybe do some roach
1441s	shinanigans but even then I have the UN
1443s	nearby to um to stop
1445s	him I might even go for navigation
1449s	here because I have a starfish here that
1451s	I'm standing on top
1453s	of and navigation will give me jellyfish
1456s	I don't think jellyfish are the best
1457s	units at the moment but jellyfish are
1460s	quite good at dealing with
1461s	riders um and I mean we're doing a
1464s	showcase right so I do want to show
1466s	people how gfish actually X oh boy I
1472s	miscounted one two three yes I
1475s	mispositioned over
1478s	there oh
1482s	well and now the question is will he get
1484s	thir
1487s	this oh boy that is a lot of
1492s	units yeah but your crab is coming so my
1495s	crab is coming yeah but I need to make
1498s	sure that he doesn't
1500s	um let's first grab
1505s	this um because I will need to make sure
1508s	that he doesn't actually take the city I
1511s	do have the things needed to Giant pop
1512s	in
1513s	it
1515s	aquaculture I
1517s	am I need two more cities connected for
1520s	my network but I can get both of them
1521s	connected next turn so I do actually
1523s	have the option to uh do double
1525s	monuments next turn mhm um still still I
1529s	think I want my crap next to it uh just
1532s	to be a little bit safer so what do you
1535s	say are going for navigation or not
1541s	don't he does have a lot of um Scouts
1544s	right let's maybe not do it yet I think
1546s	I want some sharks and some yeah I think
1548s	sharks will be better to fight off those
1552s	Scouts as espe I think this is another
1556s	thing um Aquarian now has flooded cities
1560s	so this ruin actually turned to a city
1562s	if you find a ruin out in the deep water
1564s	that's far away from other things it can
1567s	become a city and as you can see it's a
1569s	city with a city wall um but it only
1571s	gives me two stars per turn so it's not
1574s	something you get really rich rich of
1577s	but it is still a really strong uh thing
1579s	to
1580s	get and some more amphibians because
1583s	amphibians are amazing units all right
1587s	and that's where I'll end my
1598s	okay it looks like he is going for the
1600s	Stars yeah he's going
1608s	navigation so now in a bit of a weird
1610s	position because my sharks will one
1613s	shot um his Scouts but he can then use
1617s	two Scouts to kill my shark in
1620s	retaliation yeah so it will be a lot of
1626s	traits that one's coming closer of
1632s	course that's especially once I have my
1634s	grabing position I can start
1637s	um using the city a bit
1640s	safer um
1648s	so let's first
1651s	kill this one because that way my Shark
1654s	won't be in range of his Riders yeah
1657s	that's smart I'm thinking the crap maybe
1660s	here because if I put the crap here the
1662s	rider won't be able to C on me so let's
1665s	do that def my crab is also pushing this
1668s	direction it also makes it a bit more
1669s	difficult for for him to position ships
1671s	to start shooting at my crap with that
1674s	position I can move
1676s	my TR f is a bit
1680s	closer
1683s	um see it's a bit difficult to put it
1685s	here because he might actually come in
1687s	with his Riders so I think I'm going in
1689s	this direction
1691s	instead the moment I captur this my tech
1694s	prices will go up so if I want to buy
1696s	anything before that now is my
1699s	chance actually I could get a second
1701s	crap up here if I go for um yeah with
1706s	the monument yeah oh the I think is
1708s	there's only one other aquafarm around
1711s	so it's not really the best investment M
1713s	so maybe I shouldn't do that
1717s	um hunting might be a bit of an option
1721s	or I can just go for my
1722s	starfish let's just go for the starfish
1726s	mhm starfish there we go let's make a
1729s	jellyfish because why not caping the
1732s	city here uhhuh so we which uh which
1737s	team are you uh you belly or just
1741s	jelly well the thing is um in Dutch I
1745s	would pronounce it with the Y as Jelly
1748s	Belly as well uhuh no as jelly as jelly
1752s	I believe so for me it doesn't really
1754s	make a difference and now it's jelly so
1755s	I used to be yell belly and now it's
1757s	jelly well I I would pronounce both as
1760s	jelly so for me it doesn't really matter
1762s	which one it is I did like the previous
1764s	one it's like it was a bit quirky but
1767s	yeah it was not even belly it's just
1770s	jelly oh mhm that's no the belly was
1775s	important yeah yeah I then I don't
1777s	really like it I thought it was belly or
1780s	yell belly and that's like okay it can
1782s	be either one but without the belly
1785s	after
1786s	it yeah it it was funny so I I liked
1791s	it and I mean the unit is so goofy right
1794s	so it kind of fits
1798s	all right so maybe I should explain a
1801s	bit what's going on here oh what's
1806s	see um so the Y
1809s	belly um has these tentacles around
1813s	it and whenever Justin would step on
1816s	those tentacles he would get hurt so
1820s	just the presence of the tentacles hurts
1823s	um hery opponents so they can give quite
1825s	a nice defense terrain um they do also
1828s	have and AO ability because of that
1829s	because if I move here I spread my
1831s	tentacles around me and now both of
1833s	these units have beens yeah so this is
1836s	the actually the
1838s	only way uh Yi can attack any units on
1842s	land so this is not the the typical
1844s	situation because the this land there in
1847s	the in the west is flooded but Yi can
1850s	come like to the to the Shoreline and
1854s	then you know with the tentacles it
1855s	would also attack the the units that are
1857s	on on
1859s	right
1861s	yeah and so
1866s	I'm thinking what I want here because if
1870s	you look at justini he's quite good
1872s	player he could turn those into rfts
1874s	sorry into um it's called into rammers
1878s	and if I make a weak unit over here the
1880s	rammer might actually attack me and go
1883s	se My City so I don't want to put
1887s	something that's too vulnerable there so
1889s	I think I'll just go with a warrior
1891s	Warriors are actually one of the best
1893s	defensive units that Aquarian
1895s	has
1897s	um that does mean that's over here um
1901s	let's go for another sh yeah so Cole is
1906s	asking how to join the giveaway uh the
1908s	giveaway um you have to be kind of
1911s	vigilant because we are posting uh on on
1914s	the channel you have to submit your
1916s	question so it's not
1919s	for just being on the stream uh if you
1921s	have any any comments or questions and
1923s	you submit them uh um through the
1927s	through a form then then you can uh join
1929s	a giveaway so next one will be uh when
1933s	we uh when we organized another stream
1936s	in a in a few weeks time so uh follow
1939s	our our posts on the channel and also on
1941s	Discord because there is a
1945s	additional uh like a ping on on Discord
1948s	if you want to to get the codes and for
1951s	the record today it's it's it's aquarium
1954s	codes because we are playing
1960s	Aquarian so yeah he's taking down my
1964s	Yi that's bit of a Pity but to be
1969s	expected so yeah that's um that's the
1971s	reason I think the Yi is still not very
1974s	strong is that it's currently very easy
1977s	to kill it
1979s	mhm especially if you have a bit of an
1981s	army the Yi is supposed to be a very
1982s	defensive unit and it doesn't always act
1985s	as if it's a defensive
1987s	units because at the beginning it how
1992s	how much defense did it have like three
1994s	or four three defense three defense yeah
2000s	mhm yes yeah it was a bit
2003s	um oh boy mhm yeah so on
2009s	uh on Hell or Angel um um commented that
2016s	flooded terrain is is considered as
2018s	rough terrain for non amphibian units
2021s	yeah um
2022s	mhm yeah secondly um it's rough the rain
2025s	for all Naval units that are not
2027s	amphibian um normal un like Riders they
2031s	can just uh run across it to problems so
2034s	it's basically um how I see it is
2037s	flooded Terin is just normal L terrain
2040s	but C units are also allowed to enter
2043s	and C units are also allowed to walk
2045s	around in it they're a bit worse than
2047s	land units at doing it at doing it but
2050s	they can come on come come on there
2053s	mhm and you can build roads on on this
2057s	uh flooded terrain so there is a way to
2061s	uh to move your units
2063s	faster uh so not not uh aquarium but
2066s	other you know uh oppos closing uh
2068s	tribes can can build uh build roads on
2072s	on the flood
2075s	land and uh to explain even
2079s	more um actually you can um so in order
2085s	to be able to move your sharks yellis
2088s	and uh the the unit we haven't seen yet
2091s	which is buffer fish you have to flood
2094s	the the terrain uh but also your oppos
2098s	oent as a like a counter measure they
2101s	can uh they can build up terrain right
2104s	so this could like uh be um be an
2109s	offensive uh or
2112s	defensive um strategy against aquarium
2117s	um and you need one one turn to to flood
2121s	or one turn to uh to build up except
2126s	crabs because crabs have this
2128s	what's the what's it called the the
2130s	feature that crab has I outo floods yeah
2133s	outo floods yeah outo flood yeah so only
2135s	crabs when they step on a on a land they
2138s	they would
2144s	flop right meantime let me because I'm
2148s	not seeing any
2156s	comments oh wait is my feel H I forgot
2159s	to B
2161s	him that's too bad
2164s	mhm I should pay more attention um see
2168s	Justin here is slowly hitting my crab to
2171s	just get it HP down a little bit because
2174s	he also knows that if my crab gets here
2176s	with full HP it will be very very
2179s	difficult to keep him off um but because
2182s	my crap is um because it's whittling in
2184s	down I won't be able to use it for a
2187s	siege that will stick
2188s	so my crab is now mainly here as unit
2191s	that's threatening him as unit that's
2193s	forcing him to move around it to pull
2195s	back as un that creates space for my
2197s	other units because I really don't like
2199s	his Riders getting close to my
2201s	amphibians Riders have a quite good
2203s	match up against that but my gra won't
2206s	be doing much oh boy a giant I don't
2209s	like that will it be a
2212s	giant
2215s	just okay maybe it's not taking a Giants
2218s	mhm not yet at
2221s	least
2222s	so AOK is suggesting do you think a map
2227s	type consisting of solidly flooded tiles
2229s	would be fun uh ground and navy truly
2233s	working a hand in glove maybe call it a
2235s	swamp plants what's your opinion about
2238s	this one um well that's map type already
2242s	exists it's called a Dryland in an
2244s	Aquarian
2246s	mirror I I don't think it's the best is
2250s	a good map to play Naval on um because
2253s	as we said before um on flooded land
2255s	like this Navy can only move one space
2258s	at a time which is enough for some units
2260s	like for example a bomber can be quite
2262s	happy on that land uh yes let's build
2265s	this one and get a bit more
2267s	Vision so OB bomber can be quite happy
2269s	on that sort of a train
2272s	but that doesn't um uh sorry quickly
2276s	think about my movement
2282s	um let's move this one yeah let's really
2285s	try to grab some
2290s	space so I'll get back to the question
2292s	after this MH
2294s	yeah huh all right much going on here
2299s	I'm going to build one more shark to
2301s	pressure a bit more and then a few more
2303s	amphibians but I think I'm actually
2305s	going to try to save up towards Tri
2307s	engins
2308s	tensions oh boy Trident
2312s	span yeah and there's a new interesting
2316s	feature about Trident but we'll talk
2318s	about it once you get them
2321s	so um actually now I think of it's I do
2324s	have two monuments
2325s	right um can
2329s	I I have one Monument no I have one if I
2332s	build anle here and now have two
2336s	monuments
2338s	let's open a second front
2341s	yes
2344s	so let's build a grab here and start
2347s	attacking justini from the other
2348s	direction as
2350s	well we don't see any any of his
2353s	activity in this uh Southeastern Corner
2357s	which is surprising
2359s	mhm and think by because he has a lot of
2362s	range units here on the water which as
2364s	you can see are slowly taking my crab
2367s	down but over here on the land he
2369s	doesn't actually have range units so I
2371s	might be able to force
2374s	him uh to spend a lot of different units
2377s	to take down mcreb
2383s	mhm sorry uh we were talking about the
2386s	swamp LS yeah the swamp LS yeah um so I
2390s	I don't think it would be too
2391s	interesting because Naval units can uh
2394s	work on um flood land but naal units
2397s	will mainly work on the edges of the
2398s	flood lands as you can see here as well
2401s	justini is not moving his ships across
2403s	of this area although he could move it
2405s	on top of this he could move it on top
2406s	of this so it is good to move from the
2409s	water to the edge of the flooded land or
2411s	to like use the edge of the flooded land
2413s	as a base from where you attack that's
2415s	sort of your back but you don't want to
2417s	actually be fighting across the flooded
2419s	land because at that point you are very
2422s	very slow and in Naval system all the
2425s	units have a lot of movements like
2426s	Scouts rammers they have three free
2428s	movement um the only slow Naval unit is
2430s	a
2432s	bomber uh so the bomber might be useful
2434s	in such a swamp PL all the other Naval
2437s	units not really
2444s	mhm I'm think looking he does have
2447s	rather low score so I'm thinking that he
2451s	might have just spent everything he has
2453s	to build um build all these uh Scouts it
2457s	hasn't invested much in economy yeah my
2460s	crab is about to die mhm too bad but hey
2464s	yeah so there is a question about sharks
2468s	um and creep so they used to have creep
2470s	but now they have surprise so they don't
2473s	get retaliation
2475s	right yeah indeed they used to have
2477s	creep to be able to cross it and now
2479s	they're um more solidly um put down as a
2482s	naval unit so a shark now is not meant
2485s	to cross the land anymore the shark can
2489s	move onto the edges of the land the
2491s	shark's not going to go through the land
2493s	so now it's really basically twet like
2496s	any other
2498s	ship all
2500s	right let's this have a Siege first
2504s	Siege of the game not going to stick but
2508s	mhm yeah well there has to be some kind
2512s	oh no okay so this Farm is from from
2515s	your second crab City mhm
2519s	yeah yeah so my crap here just moved
2520s	onto this land and it's now
2524s	a and what I'm doing here is I'm putting
2526s	up trying to put a lot of pressure he
2528s	will definitely un Siege the shark but I
2531s	hope that I can keep the city in the
2533s	back here he might move in uh to um stop
2537s	me from getting it but at least I will
2539s	have a lot of unit around to counter mhm
2542s	yeah and then how far are you from
2546s	trien uh um so for tradtions I will need
2549s	38 stars for Tech and then eight more
2552s	stars for Tren so the first trienal will
2554s	be at 42
2557s	Stars if I make one amphibian now I
2561s	might have M renion next
2564s	turn um but that does mean I can't make
2566s	any other
2568s	units yeah actually let's do
2572s	that because with all these uh Warriors
2575s	cards renion will be absolutely
2581s	devastating so a random um commented the
2585s	people say jellies aren't powerful
2590s	anymore but you uh one is uh
2594s	restructuring uh your whole attack
2597s	around around the
2600s	Yi yeah but the do you see how quickly
2602s	it dies like this is an eight cost unit
2605s	mhm and he didn't need lot to to get it
2607s	down so even though the the jelly does
2610s	have certain threats it is so squishy
2613s	that it's not really worth the
2616s	investment often times I did make a few
2618s	here because again justini has a lot of
2621s	riders and jellies are good at dealing
2624s	with um squishy unit like that M but all
2627s	of these um all these cards they don't
2629s	care about Yi the main thing the Yi was
2631s	doing now was making sure that this guys
2632s	couldn't move in too far to kill my
2635s	amphibian but if I had had Defender that
2638s	would have done the same for three stars
2641s	mhm um so personally I I have had good
2646s	usages of my yell bellies but they
2650s	are rather rare it's it's not every day
2653s	that you see a good usage of yell belly
2656s	and but this was the case because you
2659s	you eventually you will eventually get
2661s	this city that was yeah justtin denied
2665s	you in the early stage of the game so
2667s	that's a win that's true here it
2669s	actually um it did actually
2671s	work but what I'm more excited about is
2675s	this one oh boy I miscounted wait did I
2678s	miscount 16 plus
2680s	22 oh boy you you'll get another first
2683s	one you know later oh well one more turn
2690s	yeah um let's see what can I do
2695s	here I can
2700s	so with the way he SPAC his units I
2702s	can't actually reach any of the ships in
2705s	the back which is um a bit annoying
2708s	unless I Siege this thing then I could
2711s	also take down a ship and actually I
2712s	might do that because remember my units
2714s	are worth two stars and three stars the
2717s	ship is worth seven stars and seing the
2719s	city it's worth two stars for the units
2722s	but also let's quickly
2724s	check four stars for the city production
2727s	stop so killing this unit is worth six
2731s	stars to me so let's do
2733s	that um a hit here hit here and this one
2740s	sieges this one will attack
2743s	here and that just reminds me that I can
2746s	in
2747s	fact get myself a tension if I do this
2750s	ah yeah yeah with a gate of
2753s	power
2755s	um and let's
2758s	this one
2760s	here this one
2763s	here all right this one moves back a bit
2767s	this one it's going to die right yeah uh
2770s	let's move here just to um keep him busy
2774s	and
2775s	finally yeah Workshop or Explorer
2778s	thinking yeah Explorer might might be
2780s	good here M you'll see what he's
2783s	doing oh first Giant
2788s	that's interesting let's send the unit
2798s	there and so yeah now um now for me the
2802s	game has changed to trying to make as
2804s	many tradtions as I possibly
2806s	can while at the same time keeping a few
2809s	units in the front line because tradtion
2811s	as it is now it's an extremely powerful
2813s	unit um but it does needs units to set
2816s	up for it
2817s	so I like combining the current renion
2820s	with um few aians few Warriors even some
2823s	Defenders I might
2825s	CBS like in the game that we
2829s	played so trien with crabs they are
2832s	amazing I've played a lot of games
2834s	against you um I don't remember which
2836s	one was with the crabs what was it AI
2841s	yeah about you you had like a wall of
2844s	crabs and I couldn't
2848s	yeah that's
2850s	actually um because was a Pia game I
2854s	wouldn't recommend anyone to play
2856s	Aquarian Pia because Aquarian is not
2859s	meant to be played on land Maps but if
2862s	you have the right setup it is possible
2864s	to um to get some interesting
2870s	results okay so justini definitely knows
2873s	that I have umentions because he is
2875s	pulling back his entire Army
2878s	mhm um which does go to show how um how
2882s	threatening this one unit here
2884s	is
2886s	yep he's even giving me a free Siege so
2890s	I mean why not let's make
2892s	ITR City for
2896s	stars all
2898s	right um with my giant
2903s	crap so I'm thinking of just moving it
2906s	forward because there's a lot of other
2908s	things that are threatening him he can
2910s	only if I moved here he can only shoot
2912s	it with a few um few ships and if he
2915s	send his normal units against it I mean
2918s	that's quite all right those normal
2920s	units yeah you get more access to the
2922s	City by flooding the the
2926s	tile remember about getting some unit in
2930s	this city next to the
2932s	ruin all right all right
2935s	thanks that's an amphibian
2938s	um and now let's see where can I put my
2941s	if I put it here one two then it starts
2944s	threatening the city that's good but if
2945s	I put it here I will put it here it
2949s	might die yeah it might die but that's
2952s	an interesting thing um I don't care
2956s	because it will be a good tradeoff
2958s	because it's at least 14 against eight
2960s	so and I'm making a tradtion here if he
2963s	kills this
2964s	tridion with any Scouts the scouts are
2967s	now in range of this new Tren yeah so
2970s	and because trition now has
2973s	persists um that actually means that one
2976s	tension can devastate this entire Navy
2979s	so I'm really um putting a lot of
2982s	pressure on him here yeah all
2984s	right yeah so it's a it's like a knight
2987s	but ranged so very
2990s	powerful so anything in a in a distance
2994s	of two
2995s	tiles Di
2999s	almost
3008s	anything and the crab is just chilling
3011s	here eating Warriors and Riders left
3014s	right and Center so even though the crab
3016s	is sitting close by here it's actually
3020s	applying an immense amount of pressure
3021s	because the crap here makes sure that
3023s	his giants can't just go to the water
3025s	the crap makes sure that his War here is
3028s	Riders they're not going to the water
3030s	they're not becoming ships they're
3031s	sticking around where the crab is MHM so
3034s	even though the crab looks like it's not
3037s	doing too much it's just getting hit but
3039s	the crab is making sure that there will
3041s	be fewer ships around okay so he's going
3046s	for he killed it but now that means my
3049s	AO can just go in and kill them so that
3053s	for me is quite a fair trade if you
3055s	hadn't killed this one this would have
3057s	been able to kill all the ships in this
3059s	line so I think it was a good thing for
3062s	him to kill it um but I am afraid for
3066s	him that that renss will just take over
3069s	the world and there will not be too much
3072s	left for him to do about it mhm yeah
3074s	he's just buying some time but you will
3079s	soon overwhelm him overwhelm him
3083s	definitely your Eco is good enough to
3086s	get three trid per turn so yeah and I
3091s	mean I'm also just quite ahead score
3092s	wise I do believe that this because I am
3095s	because I got so many tchs this is way
3099s	more Ts than I would have on normal uh
3102s	almost normal ond
3104s	ones but also justini had to spend a lot
3106s	of stars getting his ships ready because
3109s	each of the again Seven Stars against my
3112s	three star units so my Navy is cheaper
3114s	than his than his which means that I in
3116s	turn
3117s	get to invest more in um taking in
3120s	economy in just in general becoming big
3124s	so let's go in I'm quite surprised that
3126s	he did not switch to uh to to rammers
3130s	actually because in this in this
3133s	situation that would give him more value
3137s	because the all your amphibians and and
3140s	even trient are one shot for for Ram
3144s	right mhm without aquatis
3149s	aquatis and I kind of refuse to get
3151s	aquatis because
3153s	um as I said I think it's a rather lame
3157s	deck um so now I'm just
3161s	basically yeah there is there is an
3163s	interesting suggestion so uh John clippy
3167s	is saying imagine if alion could enchant
3169s	trees into some sort of tree
3172s	poor you are an Alyan fan what's your
3177s	opinion about
3179s	ants um my opinion about ants
3182s	so um first of all I really like the
3186s	Wayan currently works so for me I'm not
3190s	too keen on getting an Alyan rework
3192s	simply because fact if a ling gets
3195s	reworked that means that the Ling that I
3196s	currently
3197s	love might not exist anymore in the same
3200s	sh in the same form and I said it's my
3203s	favorite life
3204s	so they don't immediately need any huge
3208s	changes in my opinion if they would get
3211s	a trient um I would be interested in
3214s	what it would be but at the same time
3216s	I'd also wonder what's role with a three
3218s	end fill personally I think a three
3222s	would be a bit like um a bit like I
3225s	imagine jell belly would be M um so like
3229s	20 hp units um rather defensive slow
3233s	moving slow moving forward like almost
3234s	the pseudo Giants mhm really controls
3237s	the terrain then question is yeah does
3239s	Alan really need it because Alyan
3242s	currently has a few only only has a few
3245s	special things the special things work
3247s	together in a really interesting way
3249s	oh oh a bomber okay there's a bomber
3253s	yeah that's interesting mhm
3258s	so that was actually a really
3260s	interesting move by
3262s	him he's yeah he's going to kill this
3265s	team too bad
3269s	but I can still kill this bomber so even
3271s	though he got this bomber which is
3273s	really really strong
3274s	units um he killed a lot of my units he
3278s	really damaged my
3279s	tension but he just spent 15 stars on
3283s	upgrading this Ro into a
3286s	bummer with this redention here who is
3288s	on two out of three kills mhm I will be
3291s	able to capitalize veteran yeah
3295s	mhm um my crab is going to
3299s	die oh well but like I said this crab
3302s	has really really proven his words with
3305s	um all the things that he been
3308s	doing which was basically just walking
3312s	along and distracting just
3315s	Ste so we have that here I mooved stion
3319s	here I can't kill it yet but that's not
3322s	a problem because I'm going to attack it
3323s	with an
3324s	amphibian now I can kill the renion
3328s	I can veteran which means I can out kill
3330s	this one I can kill this
3332s	one
3334s	um I move this one side can go this one
3337s	as well this one can move into the
3344s	village all right right um sadly I can't
3349s	cross
3350s	that so I will need a few more defensive
3353s	units at the moment oh Stars nice
3360s	good because right now well again I'm
3363s	just denying him stuff mming him a
3366s	little
3367s	bit this one doesn't really accomplish
3370s	too
3375s	much yeah let's just put him
3379s	here um so let's see maybe not a yell
3384s	belly um and then a few sharks in the
3388s	back just because sharks can get to the
3391s	battlefield
3394s	quickly yeah you probably get another
3396s	bomber to un Siege this that's what I
3399s	was
3401s	thinking although if he gets a bomber
3404s	here does it really matter oh right he
3407s	can do that oh
3409s	yeah that's the play
3412s	mhm not bad not bad
3417s	oh no it says 5 HP so sorry I did not
3421s	see
3422s	that do
3424s	now just going to kill this one
3432s	okay kill
3438s	that so I can do a lot of things
3442s	here and the moment I kill this
3445s	Warrior this renion can
3448s	move all the way here and can really
3450s	start killing a lot of
3453s	things so I think I want to murder that
3456s	Warrior I can the Warrior by sending in
3459s	yell belly here and then sending this
3461s	one to hit
3463s	him
3466s	um I won't be able to renew the siege
3469s	here I believe if I do that that's well
3472s	I I don't want to go forward to
3474s	really ntini everything over there
3482s	mhm yeah I definitely won't be able to
3486s	reege there's giant
3492s	coming so this one moves
3496s	here then this one moves
3499s	here this one
3501s	moves here hit that hit that
3508s	um and yes hit
3512s	that this one moves here H that and H
3517s	that forwards
3521s	forwards move
3526s	forwards hit this giant
3528s	SW yeah so those was giant will last by
3531s	one more turn maybe
3533s	yeah that's one of the things that um I
3535s	think is Cur too strong with the
3537s	tensions even though they lost their
3539s	escape they still dealing three damage a
3541s	turn m is a lot of damage
3546s	like that's um basically sortman damage
3549s	that they're dealing from range so
3552s	whereas Knight is normally
3554s	um the Knight the Knight other pist
3556s	units if it attacks it's going to die
3559s	the Knight can't do anything um to
3562s	survive first STS they can attack from
3564s	range so even if they kill kill a lot of
3567s	people they will often still be in a
3569s	decent enough position to keep
3570s	themselves alive
3572s	mhm yeah and also with uh with knights
3575s	you can uh space out your units and uh
3579s	one more thing that's uh where Knights
3583s	are weaker is the uh that
3588s	uh because of the terrain some units
3590s	would get a um like a defense bonus on
3594s	on mountains or in the forest right
3596s	right and then you you even though they
3599s	are set up in a in a perfect uh for a
3603s	perfect chain you you can't get it uh
3606s	because it's you know the defense bonus
3610s	yeah so I'd say the the the knights uh
3614s	uh that the regular tribes have are
3618s	uh are weaker than than the
3622s	trien I uh yeah I do agree with that
3627s	let move this one
3628s	here finish that finish
3631s	that then move this one here finish that
3635s	H
3638s	that
3642s	um see you'll probably put another Giant
3645s	in the water here or here so if I move
3647s	an En from across here they will get get
3652s	splashed um that's I don't think I
3654s	really care about it too much
3657s	because it will mean I
3664s	can kill that one hit this
3667s	one hit that
3670s	one good one two three he might get a
3673s	bomber mhm not get too aggressive
3684s	there and now we need think about um
3687s	finishing the game right so how we going
3690s	to do this um let's maybe get another
3692s	crap
3693s	mhm because getting another crap will
3696s	mean that um I now have something to
3698s	push with again because that's one thing
3699s	that Aquarian is kind of liking is um as
3703s	I said before defensive units MH all
3706s	their Naval units are quite squishy so
3709s	they have a lot of things to kill an
3712s	opponent but they don't really have many
3714s	things that can stick a Siege
3717s	which also they have they have Defenders
3719s	so they do have Defenders um but their
3721s	Defenders are a lot slower than enemy
3723s	Defenders because Aquarian Defenders
3725s	they can't use ropes and they can't go
3729s	into a raft or into a ship if your
3731s	opponent has a Defender rammer the
3733s	defender ramor can move three spaces and
3734s	move into your um your city where my
3738s	Defenders and they move one step at a
3740s	time so I might get them um but I don't
3744s	think Defenders are um
3747s	very good defensive a very good unit for
3750s	capturing capturing cities only if
3752s	you're really doing slow push which a
3754s	Aquarian can do a slow
3756s	push um but I don't think
3758s	that's going to completely solve
3763s	it
3765s	um one two three it can hit over here so
3770s	am I going to put I think I am I think
3773s	I'm just going to put one in range again
3776s	and going to damage this one sieges can
3779s	Siege yeah going to hit him a bit just
3784s	in general be annoying and him
3794s	down yeah so justini is a really good
3797s	player which is also why this game is
3799s	taken so long because justini does know
3801s	how to play defense has played against
3804s	aarion before
3806s	quite a few times even
3809s	so he um knows what he's doing and let's
3814s	upgrades this one moves here this one
3817s	moves here and his
3819s	him this
3822s	one what am I going to do with this one
3825s	he not really doing much right let's
3827s	just move him back and and heal up a bit
3830s	mhm this one can hit this one can move
3833s	here this one can move here this one can
3836s	come
3837s	in um I could also try to go for buffers
3842s	because buffers are another new unit the
3844s	thing is buffers are quite deep into the
3846s	hunting tree um so I would need to
3850s	invest a lot just to get the first
3851s	buffers
3852s	up and I don't think that's the best
3855s	idea at the moment yeah you have to keep
3858s	the keep keep the pressure yeah exactly
3861s	because otherwise it will slip
3863s	away this game
3868s	this one this one just oh The Siege why
3873s	not so the reason I'm not siing this
3875s	this one here is um because I want to
3878s	deny him a good bomber shots might still
3882s	been worth it to SI it but I was
3883s	thinking that ah the rammers are coming
3885s	rammers
3891s	mhm he's moving the bomber back actually
3894s	I don't think that's the best idea
3896s	because that means now the bomber no
3897s	longer covers this city mhm so whatever
3901s	I want to do against that City now
3904s	becomes a lot
3906s	easier I think he's betting that he he
3909s	still has scouts so he'll be able to
3912s	sieg yeah but he doesn't have too many
3914s	and he will need multiple SCS to stop a
3917s	Siege right
3919s	mhm um so I don't know I think that
3922s	might have been a mistake actually to
3923s	move the bomber back
3928s	um I'm going to move the jelly back in
3930s	to harass these two and also make sure
3932s	that I can then onot them with single
3935s	tration
3938s	M
3940s	um I'm probably going to
3943s	use
3947s	two let's start at the
3953s	beginning much these two guys
3958s	and
3959s	then I think three Traditions actually
3962s	kill
3965s	Juggernaut yes three definitely kill
3968s	jugs
3970s	mhm
3972s	so let's kill a jugernaut yeah why
3979s	not
3982s	tradtion another
3984s	jelly and
3990s	aention so yeah um I do think that rions
3994s	are a little bit too strong at the
3996s	moment
3998s	um
4000s	with this de line I mean they have they
4003s	have the same stat line the same
4006s	attack as a shark the same threatening
4009s	range as a shark but the moment you have
4011s	tensions you really don't need sharks
4013s	anymore mhm because they they're
4016s	offensively they're almost identical the
4019s	tensions just have so much more tensions
4021s	don't don't put themselves into too much
4023s	danger while they attack
4025s	tensions don't um they have persist
4028s	trenti can attack the lands a lot
4030s	better and really not sure when I would
4034s	ever yeah they cost cost the same so
4037s	yeah that's the that's the
4042s	problem so maybe maybe sharks you know
4045s	should go like
4047s	for I don't know six or five five stars
4051s	typ
4052s	swordsman yeah but then because if you
4054s	um compare shark to a
4058s	rammer h that's a bit annoying I wanted
4060s	to use this one for other things okay
4062s	he's moving the bomber back good
4067s	choice um yeah I can't kill that bomber
4073s	sadly um but I can still yeah so he
4076s	switched to to Defenders to get more hit
4079s	points
4081s	right which is a good choice
4085s	mhm let's see can
4088s	I but I will go in and damage the the
4091s	bomber
4093s	yeah because I mean I still have a crap
4098s	yeah let's move the jelly over here just
4102s	to annoy annoy him a little bit more mm
4105s	this jelly over here here let just
4107s	attack it if he wants
4111s	to and you guess it's
4115s	mors oh all
4118s	right I think he also saw it coming with
4120s	a crab there I could now
4123s	go there was no way completely
4127s	isolateed so maybe let's have a quick
4129s	look at this game what could have
4132s	justtin did
4134s	differently what he could have done
4136s	differently well there one yeah because
4138s	we we we usually do those you know short
4142s	analysis uh
4144s	after so playing the game one one thing
4148s	I did notice um while playing Aquarian
4151s	um they have an interesting and before I
4153s	forget could you send me uh
4156s	this this game in our I know Discord
4160s	chat or or we have this uh private chat
4165s	I'll send it after
4167s	so one thing never did and I think might
4170s	have been a
4171s	mistake um because that's one way to
4175s	counter Aquarian justtin never buil
4178s	Bridges so on this stretch of land here
4181s	justtin could have made a few Bridges to
4183s	have his Riders cross onto my terrain
4185s	and Aquarian on the water um your
4188s	amphibians are better than most other
4191s	Naval units because aians cost three
4192s	stars other Naval units cost at least at
4194s	least seven stars so even if um you lose
4198s	two amphibians in trade for one Naval
4200s	unit you are still coming out ahead M
4204s	however um a way to deny your opponent
4207s	that Advantage is to turn it into a land
4209s	battle the moment he has Bridges here he
4212s	can start sending Riders against M
4215s	amphibians and the Riders well they have
4218s	the same word as aian they can fate one
4221s	to one but the Riders are able to use
4223s	roads and my aians are not able to use
4225s	roads so he would actually be able to
4227s	harass me quite a lot if he went for
4228s	Bridges here now these three TOS with
4231s	the fishion he wouldn't be able to build
4232s	a bridge there because that's is where I
4234s	had um well that's my terrain but over
4238s	here yeah but just just outside your
4240s	your city there was a there was a bridge
4242s	play yeah so he could have maybe tried
4245s	to do something like that now
4250s	I might even see justini well I I could
4253s	see a world where justini didn't do that
4255s	because justini wanted to make it an
4257s	interesting game to show magarian Power
4260s	and if he did that he would
4262s	have made it
4264s	um yeah he might have destroyed me if he
4267s	went for early riding uh riding um
4271s	Bridge here at the same time if he did
4274s	that um he might have also lost the
4276s	control over the water because at the
4278s	moment he got two
4281s	cities um this this city this city he
4283s	wouldn't have been able to get those
4284s	cities if he went for the writing so it
4288s	was a gamble that he did did it did give
4290s	him better
4293s	economy I'm not sure which one would
4295s	have been better in the
4296s	end but that that's the way these games
4299s	play out right but I think also rammer
4302s	uh like more uh early would be a better
4307s	play once he had all div vision of you
4312s	because they they they essentially cost
4314s	the same as
4316s	uh as Scouts right so they are more
4320s	tanky and much harder to to
4324s	kill yeah although it might have because
4327s	um with my with my jellies
4331s	um the the ramas are not great against
4334s	jellies because they have to move in and
4336s	get hit by jelly first so he might have
4339s	keps some SC R for the
4341s	jellies um he might
4343s	also have thought that because some
4346s	combinations so for example you know a
4348s	mix of of Scouts and rammers to soften a
4352s	a Yi and then uh you know kill it with a
4355s	with a rammer without any that might
4357s	have definitely worked yeah without with
4359s	like a really small small
4363s	damage he was really really old in here
4366s	at the moment he's making 70 Stars per
4368s	turn I was making 20 okay so we were
4371s	quite comparable economically and he had
4374s	a lot stronger um lot stronger military
4377s	with all the more expens military
4379s	actually at this point at this point I
4381s	think we're quite equal military in
4383s	military wise one two three four five
4386s	six cities against six cities so we were
4389s	quite
4390s	equal but I think I used um the jellies
4394s	and sharks here to Zone Zone him
4397s	out he's going for that he might have
4401s	also had to get um Strat strategy a bit
4404s	earlier because without strategy um I
4407s	could onot his ships with both my sharks
4410s	or with my um with my tensions or I
4413s	could to shot them with my amphibians
4416s	turn that to Defender ships would have
4417s	been as Defender cards Al made big
4422s	difference but again I do think that the
4424s	pressure I put on with my CBS walking on
4427s	both on both sides added a lot of um
4431s	pressure for him actually just is
4432s	probably in the chats right now
4436s	no I don't see oh yeah now he's he's
4439s	there
4442s	yeah yeah so he says I definitely should
4445s	have gotten a giant at turn 15 uh Sly
4449s	misplay on my end
4451s	yeah so maybe maybe uh some Giants
4455s	earlier could have um made a difference
4459s	but um still juggernauts are like very
4462s	very weak against uh against
4466s	units yeah I I did find it interesting
4469s	that justini used um used bombers on me
4472s	I haven't had anyone used bombers on me
4474s	before with Aquarian and I think it
4477s	worked decently well the bombers were
4479s	quite far back I had trouble reach
4481s	reaching
4482s	them and they did really uh they did do
4485s	a lot of damage to my units but too
4488s	little too late his front line was
4489s	already crumbling by then mhm
4497s	so uh what's what what tech or what unit
4501s	would you say was the like a turning
4504s	factor in this game oh definitely the
4508s	tridion I mean the tradion is um is a
4511s	thing that allowed me to actually push
4512s	in even though I think my crafts deserve
4515s	H honorable mention for the push on the
4518s	sides I think the amphibians were
4522s	important for the early
4524s	game and even my jellies did did a
4528s	decent job of being annoying but yeah
4532s	yeah so every unit except except puffer
4536s	fish had their moments in this game I
4539s	would say yeah actually I think a buffer
4542s	fish could be could be quite good um the
4545s	only problem is just the teory like four
4548s	deep is three deep is so much investment
4551s	that you have to do yeah and you had
4554s	just one city where where you could
4555s	utilize the the tech uh you know other
4559s	than buying buffer fish so there was
4562s	there was there was no reason to get to
4565s	get them I did also invest a lot in
4567s	getting my tensions up um but yeah see
4571s	how much damage that built so I I did
4573s	spend a lot of effort getting my
4575s	tensions up but my tensions they
4577s	single-handedly swung the game they came
4580s	in they killed multiple units whereas a
4582s	puffer a puffer is a really strong unit
4584s	because if you think about it um a
4585s	bomber cost 15 Stars bomber deals three
4589s	damage and do some Splash a perer fish
4593s	only cost eight stars and Deals the same
4595s	amount of damage sorry deals more damage
4598s	buffer deals four damage they have the
4601s	same movement range I don't think that
4602s	they have Splash so it's they don't have
4604s	Splash they don't have Splash but it's
4607s	like the difference four damage or three
4608s	D damage and splash and I think those
4611s	are actually on a quite similar level
4613s	because four damage is very very strong
4616s	it one shots a lot of different
4618s	things so I think buffer the um buffer
4622s	is actually an extremely strong unit um
4625s	that's even we haven't even discussed
4627s	their special ability which is that they
4628s	can float terrain to allow you to
4631s	inwards um into their opponent's terrain
4635s	yeah just purely the fact that they're
4638s	four move four damage three range to
4640s	move units for aquarium on
4643s	water it's a strong unit
4646s	mhm okay GG uh both of you um so let's
4652s	uh let's go to to the next game and
4654s	before that we will
4656s	do
4659s	our draw so second
4663s	code let's see who wins so so I remove
4669s	number six I remove number six and then
4673s	so let's see
4676s	who's
4681s	the Okay we have number
4687s	seven okay so let's remove that
4693s	and number seven
4697s	is yeah so very complicated in game name
4702s	so it's th
4704s	HDH
4705s	FK
4707s	fnc
4709s	fnc yeah so that's our our second winner
4713s	hopefully one will be back in a
4720s	moment yeah if you so there's a now
4723s	there's a second chance to to actually
4727s	uh play with one uh if anyone is is
4731s	interested um you can
4742s	our champion is back
4745s	helloo so um yeah so after six we had
4748s	seven so yeah
4751s	very very strange draw but it is what it
4757s	is yeah so uh now maybe let's let's play
4762s	you know drylands or uh or like takes a
4766s	different different kind of
4769s	terrain um I got a lot of invit from
4773s	who's this guy
4775s	I yeah so the I think who invited you
4779s	but we are not playing
4781s	9900 style map so only small Maps if you
4785s	if you want to play with one one today
4788s	it's it has to be a small map so we can
4791s	uh I can't even decline oh wait oh yeah
4796s	I can't them for some reason okay M oh
4798s	well so yeah I uh why not I'll invite
4802s	that guy yeah mhm for a small lakes yeah
4808s	let's tryes let's do
4811s	Lakes Lakes uh Lakes is a is a difficult
4814s	one um to play as aan because there's a
4819s	lot of lot of openings to which someone
4822s	like umaji can send in the Riders and um
4827s	Aquarian struggles against that although
4829s	I might need to get a few more Shields
4831s	up Defenders as Aquarian can be pretty
4834s	good I've also recently learned that
4837s	Aquarian really struggles if someone
4839s	decides to throw archers against
4842s	them
4844s	um there we
4846s	go so I think yeah these General cheap
4849s	units are uh mhm oo three Turtles I
4854s	might actually be going uh
4858s	yeah so this this time maybe maybe we'll
4860s	see
4865s	buffers on second thought I don't think
4867s	it's necessary because looking at the
4869s	score my opponent also took
4872s	Aquarian so there won't be much terrain
4874s	that needs
4876s	flooding but we'll see yeah uh so there
4879s	is there is a suggestion from onel uh it
4882s	would be cool to see some Polaris versus
4884s	Aquarian Maybe
4885s	um yeah we could maybe try that uh but
4890s	um actually we we are in the middle of a
4893s	game uh me and Wy um I'm playing Polaris
4897s	against
4899s	aquarium and
4901s	uh yeah it's interesting but I'm I'm
4904s	getting a bit frustrated uh because of
4907s	the terrain layout we are playing on
4910s	archipelago I can't really reach his his
4913s	units and because of the
4916s	um this crush ice or Dash
4920s	ability um he's able to you know to to
4924s	to destroy the ice and and I I struggle
4927s	to to reach his his
4930s	cities what's what's your opinion about
4933s	this game
4934s	W um I think it's um it's all
4938s	frustrating for me to move in because
4940s	you have a lot of control over the ice
4943s	um and an interesting thing about
4946s	playing against Polaris or interesting
4948s	actually think it's buck and I don't
4950s	think it's intended but if a Polaris
4952s	moves onto a flooded terain and freezes
4954s	it the flooded terain stops being
4955s	flooded ter rain so especially at start
4958s	you really blocked my units just by
4961s	moving around and making sure that oh
4963s	there's the opponent already just by
4966s	moving your moies around and unflooding
4968s	all of my um I'm floating off my terrain
4970s	so my fiban couldn't reach you anymore
4972s	which was really really frustrating to
4975s	play against as well
4977s	um I'm thinking if I should go riding or
4981s	if I get hunting next turn well is a TR
4987s	next turn anyway so let's uh leave that
4993s	this think I can afford can I afford
4996s	boats cost me 11 stars but I get five
4999s	stars
5000s	back oh it will cost me 12 Stars I get
5003s	five star back
5005s	so I will have spent Seven Stars I won't
5007s	be able to get a
5010s	wrer oh boy let's put on some
5018s	music let I do actually want to
5022s	Art any specific uh themes that you
5027s	like
5028s	music teams yeah I don't suppose you
5033s	have the skin teams
5040s	no I have
5042s	to only the remixes so too bad yeah yeah
5048s	I I do have my politopia playlists okay
5051s	and I would really like to add the skin
5053s	themes to them but I don't think they've
5055s	actually been um I no so so yes sorry I
5059s	Ty uh I did not hear right so this is
5062s	actually uh semantic Cor
5065s	and we did listen
5067s	to uh to
5070s	the uh
5072s	Aquarian
5074s	um
5076s	remix M and also omagi
5080s	La so then after the semantic core I can
5083s	play for example yadak if you if you
5087s	like them um I I like all them maybe
5089s	let's do somean
5091s	because I just love everything about it
5094s	right
5095s	uh yeah the yak one is amazing the um
5098s	Gali one is really good I think as well
5101s	mhm let me else the Kik one is also
5104s	actually really good it's very relaxing
5106s	mhm y oh wait I need to end my
5113s	turn so um I'm thinking about going
5116s	archery here MH just because I just said
5119s	that archery is good against Aquarian
5121s	the only thing is archery is really good
5123s	against Aquarian because Aquarian has
5124s	has trouble getting to the archers
5126s	because of normal terrain that The
5128s	Archers are standing on yeah in this
5130s	game I'm playing a mirror match against
5131s	another Aquarian so there isn't actually
5133s	any nonf flooded terrain so I'm bit
5136s	unsure whether or not I should go for um
5140s	go for
5142s	Archers I'm also
5144s	thinking that um Shields might be good
5148s	if he's going hard on the
5151s	amphibians but if he gets TRS I won't be
5153s	able to do anything with my Shields so
5157s	again D over there as well so I'm really
5160s	getting a cut
5161s	off
5163s	mhm yeah this setup is not very good for
5167s	you no um third City so far away yeah he
5171s	already has the city
5173s	here I need some
5176s	um some pressure and there's not many
5179s	things that give more pressure than
5180s	archers
5188s	scanning that one that's to that's to be
5212s	expected so Justin is suggesting
5216s	cloaks cloaks are really funny I
5220s	actually I did not I did not use uh any
5222s	cloaks in
5224s	my aquarium
5227s	games wait I'm thinking if I could
5235s	actually
5238s	yes so move this one up the M shoot this
5242s	one move this one over here nice give me
5246s	Vision this one here and this one here
5248s	and I got myself new
5250s	city yeah
5258s	nice another Archer
5260s	and
5271s	Warrior yeah he doesn't have any
5274s	amphibian
5276s	or
5278s	archers so this city is yours
5285s	M
5288s	this so he just moved his Warrior right
5293s	into my into my range
5297s	M um I need to of course make sure that
5301s	he
5302s	doesn't so this aian can move up to here
5306s	so if I kill that AR
5309s	Warrior yeah I'm going to kill this one
5314s	mhm yeah because this doesn't uh you
5317s	deny him the others me yeah because with
5321s	an amphibian he could have sieged you
5324s	back yes inde so um I'm going to make an
5329s	aian here to move around a bit more I'm
5331s	thinking of getting an Explorer um but
5335s	let's do that next turn because for the
5337s	moment I want to um make sure I keep my
5340s	pressure all
5342s	right by the way this city come on
5345s	single fish yeah and a
5350s	mountain what the
5352s	hell there's an aian here in in the Mist
5356s	I will be able to kill that one with my
5357s	own amphibian and an Archer this one
5360s	also dies to an archer in aian so I
5363s	think I'm actually in a really good spot
5364s	here
5366s	yeah at the moment you you look
5369s	strong one thing to be worried about if
5372s	I go too hard into archers and
5374s	amphibians the moment he gets tensions I
5377s	might um be in for a world of H
5383s	mhm so kill this
5386s	one
5389s	that shoot this
5391s	one can snipe his City come here
5395s	oh oh with a veteran okay
5399s	okay you want to end this game I see
5403s	yeah I I actually didn't plan on getting
5405s	a veteran I just wanted to bounce to
5407s	this city but with a veteran I think I
5409s	might go for the capital instead thank
5411s	you very
5413s	much um ah actually I should have
5416s	explored first to see if there was
5418s	anything he could have done against me m
5424s	he has an amphibian okay so he'll be
5426s	able to un Siege so he would have also
5429s	been able to un Siege this one so
5431s	um that means I'm actually not in the
5434s	best
5435s	shape no the other the other one would
5437s	would hold because you have a veteran so
5440s	you would have oh no there is a third
5442s	one yeah third one on the city yeah I
5444s	see it yeah you're right mhm so yeah
5448s	just looking at the map now I think he
5451s	has a
5455s	could I have double sieged no wait how
5457s	could I
5458s	have double sieged no because there was
5462s	the The Warrior were was uh uh south of
5465s	his City so you couldn't slide in
5469s	there yeah
5474s	Capital yeah so it was real mistake not
5476s	to get my Explorer first M um it's not a
5480s	bot um I'm playing against
5484s	another
5487s	player um
5489s	called mxk e LJ I
5496s	I all right
5500s	so let's give myself an amphibian no a
5506s	um what's called yeah
5509s	amphibian let's move this one over kill
5513s	him
5514s	and I can move this one back a bit
5516s	because I want it to keep him a bit
5520s	safer
5523s	and it's horrible so I want to go here
5527s	but I don't have unit capacity for a
5533s	seconds
5534s	actually this is so weird but I'm
5537s	thinking about going um mining mining
5539s	yeah because it's a giant in my cap grab
5541s	in my Capital mhm
5545s	it means I can send another unit here I
5549s	need star so I will need this send one
5552s	units back
5555s	there this Mo over here you'll get the
5559s	lighthouse
5562s	mhm yeah so next turn I have have a a
5565s	grab mhm
5575s	I just hope he doesn't have second Unity
5577s	here to hit me
5580s	with if he does
5583s	um in CL the city if not I can keep
5586s	threatening it
5598s	mhm so this really is a challenging game
5604s	just because I'm such a poor initial
5613s	position I could even get
5615s	SMY mhm to get my first experience with
5619s	sword
5622s	mates so I know there's an aiban here so
5626s	I'm not going to put anything in
5628s	range I'm going to stick right here
5631s	where it's safer yeah that's smart
5633s	because otherwise you you uh sieged the
5640s	village here yeah so swords sword mates
5643s	are are another unit that I actually did
5646s	not use
5647s	ever during my aquarium
5653s	games so there's the first prep yeah um
5658s	I need my Monument let's say here
5661s	because I just want more unit capacity m
5665s	all
5668s	right yes I can kill that
5674s	one just
5676s	again keeping
5679s	pressure ah right I don't have my deep
5682s	water movements yet mhm um yes marine
5687s	life
5689s	sharks yeah yes that's one of the
5692s	changes they made mhm that they removed
5697s	the Deep B movement without getting
5698s	sharks first so I can't actually put
5701s	this amphibian in a good
5703s	position um because of that I might just
5706s	put him here to get me a bit of
5708s	vision this one can move
5711s	back and now let's see where do I want
5715s	to go from here um I want another FIB
5718s	here and maybe another Archer or another
5720s	mermaids no I want an Archer here and
5724s	mermaid here there we
5729s	go all right I add The Monuments okay so
5731s	I need to put down my Monument next
5733s	turn what can I get with my
5737s	Monument I'm thinking if I get fishing I
5740s	can upgrade this
5742s	city uh and if I get fishing and swords
5745s	in Cemetery I can upgrade this city as
5747s	well that is a bit of a b
5752s	order um what else could I do
5755s	here this city doesn't really have too
5757s	much to
5768s	upgrade might also just go Shields I
5770s	think I'm going Shields actually oh he's
5772s	also going for mining
5775s	interesting o scary
5792s	so but yeah I'm thinking the crap craps
5795s	are scary but I do have archers and
5797s	archers are in general quite good at
5800s	killing
5802s	crabs
5803s	crap all right archers are good at
5806s	killing crabs but archers are not great
5807s	at killing two craps
5810s	yep um just that looks scary
5816s	so um still I am thinking of getting
5819s	myself a um Scot again getting myself
5823s	Shields and then maybe we can actually
5825s	go for
5826s	the um for the was Scot again for the
5829s	cloaks to get something done on that
5833s	side let's kill this thing
5836s	first
5839s	um this one no let's just do it old
5841s	fashioned way with archers
5845s	let's leave him like that for now he's
5847s	fine this one moves here this one moves
5849s	here yeah needs a unit to stay
5853s	here my crap moves forward this one
5856s	moves
5857s	forward I'm really annoyed by uh lack of
5860s	deep water movement because my Archer
5861s	can't move forward at the
5864s	moment but like there's so little deep
5867s	water here and I don't want sharks
5868s	sharks feel horrible in Aquarian versus
5871s	aquarium matchup
5874s	think I just
5875s	need is there anything I can do here
5877s	with my gate of power if I put it here I
5880s	will get Stars yeah five stars
5883s	back but I can't
5886s	really I don't really have any prospects
5889s	for a crap here I don't have any
5890s	Prospect for a crab here
5892s	either this one if I do a border grow
5896s	border gr might
5898s	not be the
5900s	best I'm not close to getting a second
5903s	uh thing
5905s	mhm this this game
5910s	now I it feels albums feels the waste to
5913s	put down gate of power just for
5922s	stars know
5927s	what screw it we're going to try
5929s	something
5936s	yeah okay so M all right let's do it
5942s	yeah as long as you you eliminate all
5944s	his supporting units the crabs won't be
5946s	that scary yeah and sords are really are
5950s	quite good against the amphibians so
5953s	yeah who
5956s	knows it might actually pay off
5969s	all right yeah that's not a
5972s	problem um I can B fing up to this
5976s	mountain here get some
5980s	Vision which will be really good for me
5982s	he's getting another ruin damn
5985s	it so I'm also thinking um one of the
5988s	reasons I got sorted is that it means
5989s	that I can probably get another crab
5991s	here quite soon mm
5994s	um yeah nice for spot mhm I am thinking
5998s	of well I can't immediately border grow
6001s	this thing uh but if I get both roads
6004s	and fishing I can border this for
6005s	another uh better for spot here although
6009s	that's quite at all order order again
6011s	for this one I would need forestry to
6013s	get a good for
6015s	spot um on this
6019s	end and this end will be difficult so
6021s	yeah
6022s	again I don't have too many things uh I
6025s	can play
6026s	with but I'll just have to try with
6028s	whatever I do
6029s	have
6031s	um move this one
6036s	forward I'm moving this one back as
6047s	well keeping forward this one shoots
6050s	first then this one attacks this moves
6052s	on to the mountain oh
6057s	yeah he can't contest nice nice That's
6060s	not a village for me
6062s	okay no I don't think he can contest me
6065s	that's really good really really good
6068s	yeah because there was this Forest
6069s	blocking him from going around
6074s	so yeah it was a good
6078s	block
6080s	um I don't think I need more archers
6082s	here to really uh deal with the
6088s	grabs
6090s	okay and do I go thing I can border on
6093s	mine but the thing is to do that I will
6095s	need to already use my
6098s	monuments now let's end the turn
6104s	here sorry I I will need to use my Forge
6106s	to border grow this one mhm
6126s	thisan
6129s	dies oh boy the giant is getting hurt
6133s	that's good it's really
6137s	good another interesting thing about
6139s	craps is they have more defense than
6141s	attack so if if I put my crap next to
6144s	next to his crap it doesn't actually
6146s	make sense for me to attack him because
6147s	the defender the attacker will take more
6149s	damage than the defender will
6152s	mhm yeah and with regular Giants they
6155s	they will get
6157s	uh
6160s	um so the the same the same damage as as
6164s	as the
6166s	crab
6167s	yeah so it's like attacking another
6170s	giant with a with a defense bonus
6178s	this one here just that this one here
6181s	this one can move
6187s	here one just see where it
6191s	is this one moves here this one moves
6194s	here this one moves here okay one two
6197s	let's make another
6199s	sort um do I want some text is there
6201s	anything big I can make right now one
6204s	two three four
6206s	five
6209s	um I might actually I'm just going to
6211s	upgrade this
6215s	city yeah and uh another thing that's um
6219s	is specific for for Aquarian when you
6223s	get
6225s	uh um the construction Tech uh you get
6229s	you get this feature of um fertiliz so
6232s	you can actually
6234s	uh build farms the way with the
6238s	spiritualism you can uh you can grow
6241s	forests
6242s	right that is quite true yeah wait he
6245s	has seven minutes
6250s	damn okay so he's H clearly threatening
6253s	my new city m means I need to put some
6256s	effort into stopping him over
6258s	there I'm thinking one I can't even get
6262s	the Roose monuments that
6265s	sucks so I might actually need to go for
6268s	the farming and construction but I don't
6269s	think I have the funds to do
6274s	that he's he has a lot of units
6277s	threatening here another crab
6283s	mhm but he won't be able to SI you uh in
6286s	in two turns anyway so in this
6290s	turn oh damn I thought that kills
6295s	um well actually it will be because the
6297s	crap can move
6298s	too so no but if you kill both both
6301s	fibian then he won't be able to let's
6304s	this can um okay the these ones sry so
6308s	he will be able to move into the city um
6310s	there's no way I can stop
6313s	that um so I need
6316s	to do some efforts to deny him
6325s	yeah let's kill this thing kill this
6327s	thing kill this
6330s	thing let's hit
6333s	him make a source matat just to make it
6335s	a little bit more difficult for
6340s	him all right yeah and when we are
6342s	talking about
6345s	the agriculture so uh Aqua Farms are
6349s	back for um
6351s	aquarium because at some so they were
6354s	introduced uh after the path of the
6357s	ocean um was released but then mijan did
6361s	not like it and they were removed and
6364s	now they are reintroduced but only for
6372s	aquarium so we kill that
6375s	one um oh yeah he he can't kill the
6378s	swords nice yeah mhm wait he could kill
6382s	the swords if you had an if he been
6386s	there no no no they are not in Rage
6389s	because of this mountain so yeah okay
6391s	okay mhm and if you when you put the The
6394s	Swordsman on the mountain it will be
6396s	really hard to break
6402s	through
6405s	yeah so I would say your city is kind of
6408s	safe at the moment I mean there's still
6411s	a still a crap right
6415s	mhm maybe I should go for my
6419s	um
6421s	trid I mean I I I try to not do it
6426s	but it's I'm playing Aquarion here I
6429s	yeah I I know like I I can confirm that
6432s	one is uh during our games was uh was
6436s	trying out different strategies and so
6439s	it's not just tried and spam in his case
6447s	he's getting jellies
6449s	really oh okay yeah so here he would
6453s	deal 12 damage to me I would deal eight
6455s	damage to him that's not the best
6457s	strategy um so instead I'm just going to
6460s	keep
6463s	shooting this one and I'm going to move
6465s	closer so I'm actually going to threaten
6466s	his
6468s	Capital
6471s	um I'm going to take this
6475s	one it this one here move this one here
6479s	shoot it like it nice SE K that thing
6489s	good
6491s	okay
6493s	yeah there we
6498s	go s
6502s	um yeah I'm not sure I can keep that
6505s	city um he has some trat over
6510s	there oh damn 21 seconds I need to De
6513s	sides I think if you hit the warrior
6516s	with your swordsman and get another one
6519s	you'll be able to keep the yeah
6522s	true too bad but that means not renous
6525s	just
6527s	yet we'll get there this one back okay
6531s	um Warrior okay now
6535s	nice man why does he have 9 minutes okay
6538s	he doesn't have to talk to has to have
6540s	to talk but still N9 minutes yeah I'm
6543s	always confused with this with this
6546s	time how it's you
6552s	know so yeah again the trition move was
6556s	it wasn't very smart for me to um go all
6559s	in so quick with t as yet didn't make it
6565s	ition I hoped I would be able to do more
6568s	but um frankly I didn't really feel like
6570s	I had time to
6572s	calculate okay so this is smart by him
6574s	by moving his scraps here he can't he
6577s	blocks my Archer otherwise my Archer
6579s	would be able to support my crap getting
6581s	a Siege here yeah I don't think I have
6584s	any um ways I can actually pull the
6585s	siege off at the moment no I don't see
6588s	any that's good move by him up here I
6591s	can attack move away
6594s	um I want to make donation down here but
6596s	I can't because my city is kept but you
6599s	can kill your your your amphibian and
6601s	give a give a try can yeah actually I
6604s	can uh yeah I can suicide my amphibian I
6607s	can make sure my
6608s	amphibian guess moved that's
6611s	true I can't kill this thing otherwise I
6613s	might have a seeg up here no
6616s	so the good news is he put a lot of
6619s	units in my reach so I'm going to kill
6622s	them
6624s	this one gets all right I don't move
6626s	onto the ocean because um because of the
6629s	water because I don't have water
6630s	movements which actually is really good
6632s	at the moment because it means that the
6634s	crap can't hurt
6636s	me this one start shooting him this one
6641s	moves over here hits the amphibian and
6644s	passes away really really nice this one
6647s	heals himself this one will make space
6651s	for a tri denion over here here and I
6654s	want a tension over here and I want
6656s	aention over here um I do have all my
6660s	archers I am going
6662s	to I'm just going to move them back I
6664s	believe because they are in range of
6668s	uh the swords I'm going to move my crap
6671s	over here because actually do I have
6674s	yeah I have a lot better chances of
6675s	capturing this city than this city with
6678s	the CB so I'm going to move my crap over
6681s	here to threaten this city
6684s	with whatever I have this down here can
6686s	shoot him uh he can attack me but he
6689s	can't kill me and with that I can my
6692s	turn mhm this was a good turn yeah oh we
6695s	got a
6697s	starfish that's why I moved
6706s	there I mean sure if he wants to
6708s	sacrifice the units go ahead
6718s	again shows the defensive power of the
6720s	grab I don't know why he did it but he
6724s	just lost pretty much his entire
6727s	Army um meanwhile over here this one can
6732s	this fion oh he even disbanded it I was
6735s	just about to kill the
6738s	um also got fions oh yeah oh how dare
6745s	you that's that's my
6749s	thing uh it will it will be interesting
6752s	and
6755s	um usually it's it's just one one side
6758s	that gets Trident and so yeah and
6761s	usually it's me so I'm not really happy
6763s	about this
6766s	MH so I don't think he can kill me no so
6770s	I can actually still Siege this city
6773s	um for that I will need to
6777s	shoot
6779s	shoot then move this one forward attack
6782s	him attack him now my crap can attack
6785s	this I can bounce into the city here I
6789s	can the
6790s	crap hit the
6792s	crap move up hit the
6795s	crap um C some space make more TRS move
6801s	up
6805s	um yeah but you you ahead of him in
6808s	Trant production
6810s	so yes I
6813s	am and one more Trident because M just
6818s	we
6823s	do okay that's
6826s	interesting so the crab is
6831s	gone yeah but the problem with h with
6834s	his army is that he doesn't have any
6836s	units so he will obviously
6840s	attack yeah he doesn't have a way to un
6842s	Siege
6846s	so oh he got a ruin instead of un siing
6849s	here oh that's that's that's interesting
6853s	decision yeah I don't think I agree with
6855s	that yeah you get two
6859s	cities and it will be what six no
6863s	against
6864s	four
6867s	h yes this
6870s	one advantage one two so this one needs
6874s	to heal otherwise it gets one shot
6877s	attention forward and
6880s	forwards um
6883s	so because he has his own tension so I
6885s	need to be careful of the range can move
6888s	to here so I don't want to put my
6889s	tensions anywhere on this line mhm that
6892s	I'm going to move back a little
6894s	bit this one
6897s	um shoot
6899s	here shoot
6902s	here shoot
6904s	here here all right okay yeah good game
6909s	yeah good game
6911s	Wow Let's okay let's let's have a look
6916s	what
6917s	happenss
6920s	there you feel exhausted
6923s	yeah this this one was a difficult game
6925s	let me first quickly share replays with
6927s	you so that you have them is it fine if
6929s	I post them in the Stream
6931s	chat there's
6933s	one yeah the previous one please so I
6936s	can post them in after we finished the
6940s	stream and the description yeah are
6942s	different okay thank you so let's open
6945s	it
6949s	up so at first
6954s	yeah I got there so I think that's my
6957s	biggest mistake here was the direction
6959s	which I
6960s	explored um I should have known that
6963s	Lake edges are not the best way to
6965s	explore and then over here because I
6968s	still had the chance to actually get to
6970s	this Village first I
6974s	believe but I think I got diverted in
6976s	the wrong direction uh let's
6979s	see yes oh he he did have some really
6982s	nice resour here for with some nice
6985s	Farms some good
6988s	fish let find it first and I moved in
6992s	the wrong direction
6995s	yeah Miss well this
6999s	points he was mering
7003s	out I did have some pressure on his
7006s	Capital so I forced him to do something
7007s	but he got a star ruin
7009s	damn got resources got good economy
7013s	up yeah at this point this point was
7016s	looking very very Bleak because he
7018s	essentially it was five cities to
7021s	three um and he was cutting off my two
7025s	main cities here so this point was very
7029s	big um and S on archery which really was
7033s	my Saving Grace I don't think he
7035s	anticipated that I would move around
7037s	otherwise he would have probably gotten
7038s	his aians
7040s	here um the I think let's actually let's
7043s	see um what his vision was did
7046s	he did he know what was coming to
7049s	him Shar [ __ ] off oh no okay he had no
7054s	idea at all that I visioner still um it
7058s	was a bit careless of him because if you
7060s	if you look here he saw he had only this
7062s	one Warrior I could have had enough
7065s	amphibians in the fog but
7067s	again acceptable mistake yeah I I agree
7070s	that that you have to be more careful
7072s	especially that uh it's it's quite
7075s	common that the Aquarian goes amphibian
7078s	so it's you know it's like playing
7079s	against Omi and not being careful yeah
7084s	but yeah The Archers really surprised
7086s	him and again I have you to thank for uh
7089s	the fact that I learned how mening can
7093s	be
7093s	against an Aquarian
7096s	player so I got really lucky here in
7099s	fact that I managed to get the city and
7102s	get back into the game he did not go for
7105s	the UN Siege uh for the reege which is
7107s	fine because I had enough units around
7109s	instead he went for more exploration
7111s	that's I think the best choice because
7112s	he this point was claiming the entire
7114s	map again even though I just claimed the
7117s	city it's four against four but he has
7120s	two more cities lined up whereas I don't
7122s	have any more perspects for the
7124s	future um I did he inde get this one one
7128s	Siege which um yeah P that didn't stick
7133s	mhm but also mean that also means that
7135s	we got an interesting game so not that
7138s	to best another star ruin damn
7141s	Jesus this
7143s	man that's so lucky so I got star ruin
7146s	back I think I deserve that at this
7149s	point I got my
7152s	mining this really the most unorthodox
7156s	Aquarian game I've ever played I believe
7158s	archery into mining before I do anything
7161s	else
7165s	and so yeah here I knew that if I did
7167s	anything wrong in top here he would get
7169s	a village so I played it
7170s	defensively um but we are now looking at
7173s	six against four and thinks it's been it
7175s	would be six against four for the
7177s	majority of the
7179s	game population capap
7182s	right got my crap here yeah so I think
7186s	going actually going in on his uh side
7189s	going sharks would have been a better
7192s	play
7193s	going going sharks you think yeah
7196s	because the thing is with sharks they're
7198s	eight cost units right and if you move
7200s	if they use them as a l
7202s	units yeah but like you know putting
7204s	more pressure on this on the CD that you
7206s	had in the in the west
7208s	because yeah sorry in the East yeah um
7212s	because with without the
7215s	range uh you know amphibians have two uh
7219s	so I you know just just for the range I
7222s	I'm not saying that the sharks are are
7224s	the best because of their cost obviously
7226s	like you
7227s	said
7229s	um but for for for the range I I I think
7234s	uh in the East they could they could
7237s	have made a difference because there you
7239s	don't have any forests you can't really
7243s	uh protect
7244s	yourself or maybe you know going going
7248s	uh you know getting more um more
7251s	amphibians and like you know going on
7253s	mass yeah I mean that's thing that's
7256s	massing units does actually work does
7258s	actually work against
7259s	sharks um because the Sharks gu
7263s	amphibians you need two amphibians to
7265s	kill a
7265s	shark you need one shark to kill one
7268s	amphibian but the aian player loses
7272s	three stars a shark player loses eight
7274s	Stars so it's um it's extremely cost
7278s	inefficient play shs into amphibians if
7281s	you compare to playing Rami anian that
7285s	attacks a rammer only has two Health
7286s	left so you need threei to kill a rammer
7289s	I believe yeah I think you need three to
7292s	kill a warrior rammer so you don't
7295s	always want to attack into a rammer with
7297s	your amphibians but if you see an enemy
7299s	shark you always attack it because the
7301s	shark is so much more expensive and the
7304s	shark has the defensive lineup of a
7307s	warrior so really not too difficult to
7309s	take down
7312s	yeah so there is a question from John
7314s	clippy who is the man behind the channel
7317s	right now
7319s	so it's
7324s	me that's a yeah that's an
7331s	answer all right so do we uh I think we
7336s	can we can go go to to the questions so
7340s	let's
7343s	uh I ah sorry uh we have to do the last
7346s	spin before we go to the into questions
7349s	right yes so let's let's do
7352s	that so the wheel is
7356s	ready let's spin
7366s	it okay number
7369s	17 so let's remve
7374s	that and see who is
7377s	17 so 10 gorilla is the the last one
7381s	to to win a code uh like I said I will
7386s	get in touch with you guys via email and
7389s	send you I send you the codes in the
7391s	coming days so you'll be able to play
7395s	the the
7397s	beta okay um so should I share some
7402s	questions or can you because I knew I
7405s	know that you went through some of them
7408s	and you picked the um were the most
7411s	interesting ones I did look through the
7413s	questions quickly um I didn't
7416s	uh I didn't get answers for all of them
7418s	so I think well let's see one question
7422s	here that I had that we had was person
7425s	who asked um as to
7428s	review um a game to um teach him how to
7431s	play in the in the long end game now I
7434s	did open the game to check it um it was
7437s	an eight player game on Water World
7441s	massive I'm Terri sorry I'm not going to
7445s	look at an a player game water B massive
7448s	even while scrolling through it it took
7449s	me several minutes to get to the end um
7451s	my main advice for how to avoid boring
7454s	end games is
7457s	don't don't play Massive water WS with
7459s	eight people if you don't like boring in
7461s	games
7463s	um the second advice I would give you
7465s	for these sort of
7466s	situations um don't play water world
7469s	because water worlds well water is less
7473s	Dynamic than land is so a massive um a
7476s	massive game on continents on lakes on
7479s	archello even has some more Dynamics in
7482s	it a massive Game On Water World just
7484s	has lines of ships staring at each other
7486s	not much happening so I wouldn't suggest
7489s	playing massive water water bolts
7492s	even then um in general I would just
7495s	suggest if you really like to play
7496s	Massive play a glory game because Glory
7500s	um I know people mostly like to play M
7503s	but with Glory you actually have um
7505s	something that ends the game before it's
7507s	completely over you can say oh we play
7509s	up to like 25,000 um G points that's
7513s	quite high on the Water World already
7515s	and then the game will be over when one
7517s	of the two parties controls around half
7519s	them I I don't know for sure because I
7521s	don't play Massive world even with Glory
7524s	but by setting these limits it means you
7527s	don't have to go through the entire SL
7529s	at the end the game will end at some
7530s	point another thing you can do is if you
7533s	play with friends you can just say okay
7534s	we play until turn 30 and at turn 30 we
7537s	decide okay now it completely ends and
7539s	person with the most points me something
7540s	like that yeah I wouldn't suggest to
7542s	play Massive water balls with people you
7545s	don't know
7547s	MH
7549s	yeah okay um
7556s	uh we got some other questions uh some
7558s	more information questions like one of
7561s	the questions here was what are the
7562s	little dots that you see um under your
7565s	city on the population bar that's your
7568s	unit capacity I did mention that a few
7569s	times in the game I was playing that I
7571s	couldn't make any new units in one of my
7573s	cities and it was because the city was
7576s	completely full so I uh I just
7578s	wouldn't um basically a city with three
7580s	bars can hold at most three three units
7583s	a city with five bars can hold five
7584s	units City with 10 bars you will never
7587s	get it filled
7588s	up
7590s	um then there were yeah so there there
7593s	is a simple question uh number two uh
7596s	when opposing tribe captures the one of
7599s	the aquarium cities does it uh does it
7603s	auto def flood nope it doesn't M um if
7608s	an opposing tribe captures a city the
7611s	terrain just stays flooded same way if
7613s	an Aquarian captures a city on the land
7615s	the terrain also doesn't autof flood to
7617s	Def flood or to flood you actually need
7618s	to put in the effort the only thing that
7620s	autof floods or Auto def floods is the
7623s	city itself so the tile of the city
7625s	itself is also flooded for aquarium and
7627s	it's not flooded for other tribes and I
7629s	do believe if another tribe captures a
7630s	city on Aquarian land it automatically
7632s	def floods so it becomes a regular I
7635s	think
7636s	so actually I think we even saw it in in
7638s	the game with justini where he captured
7640s	City on aquari
7643s	Inland
7645s	um but I think there was actually a few
7651s	um is
7654s	there what's good so what is a good
7658s	strategy with Aquarian since they have
7660s	new units and everything's completely
7662s	changed um I think we pretty much saw it
7666s	saw it already um you want to get your
7670s	expansion going you want to get out as
7672s	fast as possible and that's obvious been
7674s	the case with Aquarian but Aquarian
7676s	still has one of the best expansions in
7677s	the game because amphibians can cross
7680s	both water and land so you can spread
7682s	out you can conquer the oceans a lot
7684s	sooner than other people can you want to
7686s	start getting cities
7688s	quickly once you do have your cities um
7691s	then you can start focusing more on
7692s	economy and Cur Aquarian actually does
7696s	they have decent economy their economy
7698s	was a lot better when at all still gave
7699s	population but even now um especially if
7703s	you have gotten enough cities around you
7705s	if you're playing on a big enough map
7706s	it's really easy to get your um what's
7709s	got again your grand Bazar your rose mon
7712s	Aquarian because you only need to place
7713s	down two or three atol at most to
7716s	connect five cities to your Capital so
7719s	generally withan if you can manage to
7721s	get a total of six cities I suggest you
7724s	go for your um roads as soon as possible
7728s	get a few adles down and then use that
7730s	to um get two early J Giants two early
7733s	grabs you'll get one grab from all the
7735s	road connections and then you will get a
7736s	second grab from using both your
7738s	Monument of
7740s	um your Park of Fortune Park Fortune
7744s	yeah and your grand bizar so the
7745s	monument from upgrading City to level
7747s	five and the monument from your roads
7749s	use both of those monuments to then get
7751s	a second
7752s	crab and in doing so you can um get your
7755s	crabs up craps are really defensive you
7757s	can use them to push forward and often
7760s	that is basically um try to fight melee
7764s	on the water the the person who controls
7766s	the water controls the game in polyopia
7768s	and Aquarian is quite good at
7770s	controlling the water so don't worry too
7772s	much about invading inlands don't worry
7774s	too much about oh I need to flood this
7776s	sty flood this sty flood this sty no
7778s	focus on the oceans first and once you
7780s	have the entire ocean controlled at that
7783s	point the opponent doesn't really have
7784s	much they can do anymore because moment
7786s	they put ships in the water you can use
7788s	your tradtions you can use your
7789s	amphibians to kill the ships uh
7793s	they can't get off of their Island and
7794s	okay they can stay on their
7795s	Island let them stay there doesn't
7798s	matter if if they are on the island
7800s	because at this point now you can start
7802s	building towards invasion you probably
7804s	won't need too much Invasion anymore
7805s	because by this point you will likely
7807s	control three quarters of the cities on
7809s	the map but let's say it's still
7811s	difficult Invasion now is the point
7813s	where you gather a few CBS where you
7815s	start taking for puffers because you
7816s	already control the waters you don't
7818s	need to worry too much about cost
7820s	efficiency you just get some puffers
7822s	start flooding everything and you can
7823s	now move Inland and completely destroy
7827s	them that would be my main
7830s	um well main advice on how to play
7833s	Aquarian at the moment they are a really
7835s	good tribe um but you want to make sure
7838s	that you keep the water keep the fight
7841s	to the water or to the edges of the
7843s	water because Aquarian is really at
7844s	their best at the edge of the water um
7847s	open ocean is fine but like right on the
7849s	shorelines that's where they really
7850s	really Excel
7856s	I'm checking some of the games that were
7859s	sent uh see the the map map sizes yeah
7863s	so there is there is this one um polium
7867s	game uh we can actually I think uh
7871s	review um
7874s	it's this person that won one of the
7878s	codes so DHD
7882s	so I'll share my screen so we
7885s	can can go through this this
7904s	game yeah so it's uh it's it's a polium
7908s	game from curent theas
7912s	uh
7914s	polium um yeah so what um so let's see
7919s	what's the
7921s	question yeah I'm so worried about how
7924s	to counter quick attack in a one V one
7926s	tournament Ship Attack and want and want
7929s	to overcome uh that thing and how to
7933s	capitalize properly in given
7936s	time okay so what do you think about the
7939s	spawns here even look at those pawns
7945s	um there's actually a lot of L because
7948s	this looks like an AR aripo game yeah
7950s	it's an AR if you look at the middle
7952s	they could actually play this one um
7955s	with riders as well I think yeah because
7958s	they're connected
7959s	mhm the person on the left the person in
7962s	the west they have better um water
7965s	access towards the place where they will
7966s	likely be fighting but the person on the
7968s	East has better water access towards the
7970s	rest of the map where on the west really
7972s	needs their other cities for that um I
7975s	do think that person on the East has
7977s	better Village um capacity in general
7981s	they um
7983s	yeah oh that that's the wrong direction
7985s	that's definitely the
7987s	wrong ah actually he's going for um he
7990s	immediately going for the Lighthouse for
7992s	the lighthouse yeah but it was risky
7995s	because you know there could have been
7997s	just uh water tiles there so it's all
8001s	those Styles right so he would
8003s	definitely get get SL out scene um but I
8007s	don't think that's was a really good was
8009s	a good idea because in doing so um he
8013s	delays his um capture of his next next
8016s	cities yeah I think would have been I
8018s	think it would have been much
8022s	better so um give me a moment please mhm
8026s	sure
8045s	all right sorry I'm
8047s	back yeah so let's
8049s	continue so oh oh wow person East
8053s	actually got the middle City so that's
8056s	that's why I think the person in the
8057s	west shouldn't have um gone to the ruin
8061s	they lost their chance to get the middle
8063s	City mhm and they are so much slower now
8067s	in getting there because they spend time
8068s	not
8071s	exploring they do have a decent
8074s	economy but I don't think that that's
8076s	worth it and yeah right here with the
8078s	landbridge it's difficult to contest the
8080s	city now because the landbridge is only
8082s	one white so I don't actually think
8084s	purple will be able to come back from
8086s	this from looks of it it's four cities
8088s	against two um so it's really just just
8091s	the fact that purple didn't put any
8093s	emphasis on exploring here early on
8095s	purple went for economy rather than
8097s	exploration but you need your
8098s	exploration you need to claim the
8100s	villagers to be able to use them to then
8103s	um you you need to use the villagers to
8107s	be
8108s	able um what was I saying you need the
8112s	villagers to be able to build up an
8114s	economy so here a mistake that I put
8118s	the um yeah so I I understand that they
8121s	wanted to uh to make more space for more
8125s	Scouts but they they were
8128s	attacked so the Scout will die
8133s	soon what you mean think
8135s	um I can't I can't see the hit points
8138s	it's a little bit um Quality for that
8141s	yeah you can actually he's he's going
8145s	back there but he can uh he can still
8148s	counter
8149s	that yeah
8152s	so yeah now now the giant as
8156s	well and now Orange has a huge huge
8160s	econom economical
8164s	Advantage so yeah we we we did already
8166s	say that orange has a better exploration
8168s	um prospects actually it's two giants
8170s	already so yeah there's not much they
8173s	can do now orange also has a lot of a
8175s	lot of monuments Orange has a lot of um
8178s	a lot of stars from their ports they're
8180s	about to get a third Giant in the in the
8182s	capital mhm so even though it's purple
8186s	was going to be behind um from their
8190s	Pawn already I think the fact that they
8192s	didn't go for the Central City didn't
8194s	get a strong water presence is really
8196s	what um really what did I inan yeah and
8199s	they have nothing to to fight back
8202s	against those giants so
8207s	yeah orange did quite well with their
8209s	economy MH I I didn't focus on it too
8212s	much on how how exactly they got here
8214s	but they have a lot of units they have a
8215s	lot of exploration they have good Stars
8218s	per turn especially for a water map so
8220s	orange did quite well in this
8223s	game yeah it was like a you know like an
8227s	avalanche yeah so and orange finishes
8231s	finishes It Up by also getting the
8233s	lighthouse yeah
8235s	poetic so what would you say well what
8238s	kind of advice would you would you give
8241s	our
8242s	our viewer um to not go for the
8244s	Lighthouse at the start that's really
8246s	the most important one going for the
8247s	lighthouse gave him one extra spt so one
8250s	extra star per turn
8253s	um because he could get his um City
8255s	upgrad a little bit sooner but it lost
8257s	him two turns of movement on his first
8259s	Warrior it meant he didn't get the
8261s	Central City which then lost him some
8263s	Stars per turn he could also have gotten
8266s	his start to turn with fishing he would
8268s	have to go get fishing anyway because he
8271s	was on archipelago map so I really think
8274s	the um that that's the main takeaway
8276s	here don't um focus on things that are
8279s	not important at the moment don't make
8281s	units when you should be focusing on
8283s	economy don't explore don't explore the
8286s	wrong directions don't fight at moments
8288s	when you can't achieve anything by
8290s	fighting um like look at what the game
8293s	presents you look at what you can do
8295s	with it and don't waste any resources
8298s	any time doing things that don't really
8302s	contributes to to AR go to to winning
8305s	the
8308s	game okay let's see one
8312s	more how big is this one I don't think
8315s	we actually got any aqu any um replays
8319s	from the recent Aquarian I see a few no
8323s	it's uh so the the submitted games could
8326s	could have been any tribe so it would it
8328s	wouldn't have to be Aquarian yeah so I'm
8332s	I have a I have a
8334s	simti
8336s	simti um barter game so let's let's
8340s	watch this one and the question
8343s	is
8345s	um yeah so I like to know if there was
8349s	anything uh better I could have done all
8352s	right let's check it out
8357s	yeah so our viewer is
8362s	is
8364s	simy so let's
8367s	let's oh boy they start right next to
8370s	each
8371s	other um so yeah moving back is
8373s	definitely the right
8375s	choice he
8377s	goes uh I don't think it was a good idea
8382s	to um go aggressive there because by
8385s	attacking
8386s	here if you if you can pause it real
8389s	quick yeah
8391s	mhm so should I go back or yeah go back
8395s	a little bit so um right right here yeah
8400s	so he has his Warrior but he moves his
8402s	Warrior forward and he attacks with it
8404s	and the reason that's not a good idea is
8406s	that um his Warrior will go forward will
8410s	damage someone else but berter has two
8413s	Warriors already so his Warrior will
8416s	damage one Warrior and then just get
8417s	killed on the counter so he doesn't
8419s	really achieve anything by going forward
8420s	and attacking here here a much better
8422s	option here would have been to go
8424s	Southeast and East so to move to the
8426s	forest to try to find a new Village
8429s	because by attacking here I mean the
8431s	spawn is quite unfortunate I have to say
8434s	but by the way he moved and the way he
8436s	um attacked he basically gave his
8438s	Warrior away for free and now he doesn't
8440s	and that means he didn't have any more
8441s	units left to protect his and stuff like
8445s	that so yeah don't just send your units
8446s	into die send them somewhere with a
8448s	purpose he also didn't really like he
8451s	didn't really gain much by doing it
8452s	because he already got his stars from
8454s	the border from meeting him so moving
8457s	forward yeah that's
8464s	a yeah so here barer got second village
8468s	and he already has three uh three
8471s	Warriors yeah and so it didn't really
8473s	accomplish anything the the H now he
8476s	moves away he moves to the South so I
8479s	think here he he's thinking that he
8481s	wants to rush the rush capital and
8483s	immediately go for a
8486s	kill but he makes Cent Beat on his own
8489s	cap uh sorry H spot on his own
8491s	Capital um not very smart because barter
8495s	knows as well that if um two boosted
8498s	Warriors would attack his Capital then
8499s	he would indeed be in trouble so even if
8502s	there was not a hexabot on that City
8504s	barter still would have to go to Central
8506s	City just to hit whatever was there to
8508s	make sure that he couldn't um imately
8511s	lose his Capital so yeah the centipede
8514s	here the xot here I think that it's very
8517s	risky yeah mhm
8520s	yeah there you go yeah that that means
8524s	he doesn't get any uh any starts right
8526s	now um he gets a new Warrior but I mean
8530s	doesn't really
8534s	matter
8538s	right yeah berter I guess control berter
8540s	now is exploring the map but while simti
8543s	is still trying to uh get fight on and I
8545s	mean he is putting on pressure mhm
8548s	that's true and he does actually have
8550s	veteran
8553s	now oh with a
8562s	veteran wait wait
8565s	wait oh he he actually won the
8568s	game h s actually won the game really
8573s	that should
8574s	not um can we can go a little bit
8578s	further yeah yeah wait
8581s	um
8583s	furtherance
8586s	yeah okay so
8590s	yeah because at this point if you look
8592s	at this
8594s	um I do believe that s that um border
8599s	should have been able to un Siege withit
8601s	no no he wouldn't because the
8604s	writers so yeah barter actually uh
8607s	really screwed up his b of
8610s	dutin that's interesting okay yeah I did
8613s	not see that coming I did not expect s
8615s	to be able to win this
8616s	one yeah I thought our our viewer you
8620s	know was the losing side and yeah but
8623s	anyways I think I think your your advice
8626s	uh is were still valid because with a
8629s	with a better player
8631s	you know simanti would definitely lose
8633s	because it it was very very close like
8636s	you know uh his his
8639s	uh existence was was hanging on a very
8642s	you know very thin uh thread yeah uh if
8646s	just more a bit more more skill was
8649s	added on barter's side it would have
8651s	been a a lost game so if if this game
8654s	would if the game would be able to
8657s	continue after Capital was captured B
8659s	would definitely win it because had
8661s	better access to the entire to the
8663s	entire yeah because here siman looks
8666s	like it's you know cut out of the rest
8669s	of the map and you can't win any game
8671s	with just one one city even the the
8675s	strongest so we did really well getting
8677s	that veteran Warrior I didn't see that
8680s	that part coming that was a really good
8682s	move to build up the one Warrior that
8685s	would be difficult to kill
8687s	mm yeah well play near the ends
8691s	yep so maybe one
8695s	last
8697s	short we see what's in
8704s	here okay so here we have
8707s	some yeah but it's a big map I think no
8711s	it's
8713s	256 okay so this one will be the last
8717s	and the question here is
8724s	yeah maybe just optimizations I could
8726s	have made uh to my game
8729s	play so and
8736s	our and the and the person who is asking
8739s	is playing I think
8741s	uh wait it's King
8745s	nectus yeah so they are playing vanar
8748s	vanar oh the first a face optimization
8752s	advice I can give don't play
8754s	finger yeah and then I will see how it
8757s	goes for rest yeah let me just turn off
8760s	this AO focus on yeah I do find it
8763s	interesting that he immediately went for
8765s	climbing um and he didn't get a second
8769s	Warrior and so that's uh two things I
8772s	can immediately tell him you don't
8775s	want rushing climbing
8777s	immediately didn't really accomplish
8779s	much um sorry I'll turn this all to
8782s	focus on because it's a big map so I
8784s	can't yeah didn't really accomplish too
8786s	much and fact that he didn't get a
8788s	second unit either Warrior or swordsman
8791s	that means that he um he is quite slow
8794s	in his exploration now he did go for
8797s	Riders um is good um because they will
8801s	help that's that's very very unorthodox
8805s	did he just get chivalry
8808s	yeah huh that is indeed very unor to
8812s	decks yeah so for you you're doing
8816s	better here Tech wise going for the
8819s	um for the water getting ready to go in
8822s	there but you're still not um still not
8825s	having any economy I
8827s	believe
8828s	um let's see what C is doing here at the
8831s	moment getting some decent fion yeah so
8835s	yeah you still don't have any economy
8837s	you got your climbing before but you
8839s	didn't um pick up with it so even though
8842s	you have
8843s	climbing it doesn't really accomplish
8845s	much for you you you didn't benefit from
8849s	it you're getting some uh going all in
8852s	on the water I
8854s	see some starfish Road why did you get
8858s	road for the
8859s	connections yeah still I yeah I think
8863s	for you the biggest thing here is where
8865s	is the economy um your opponent as well
8867s	is turn 15 you have 10 Stars per 10
8870s	Stars per turn
8873s	you have turn 16 with eight Stars per
8875s	turn now you're finally getting
8878s	mining um so
8880s	yeah I said before to focus a bit of an
8883s	exploration don't Focus too much on
8885s	exploration you do want to have a bit of
8887s	a balance and in situations like this um
8891s	I think you were quite lucky that your
8894s	opponent also had a very bad e economy
8897s	because yeah they also got some Tex that
8900s	they actually did not use because they
8903s	they got chivalry and then they got
8906s	navigation which actually did not give
8909s	uh them
8911s	anything
8913s	so yeah yeah but you you know have quite
8916s	good water control and I do think you're
8919s	um responding it you're now finally
8921s	getting your economy up so at this point
8923s	okay there was a bomber coming yeah the
8926s	bommer com that's he made a bummer and
8927s	he just moved it forward
8930s	think making bomber on your end here I
8933s	think it might have been Overkill I
8934s	think you could have done it with some
8935s	cheaper
8937s	units um but I
8940s	mean you're already dominating him quite
8943s	a lot so it doesn't matter too much at
8946s	this
8948s	point because Yeah by now you do have an
8951s	economy your opponent does not have an
8953s	economy um and without an economy you
8955s	can't play the game you can't
8957s	afford any units at all
8962s	this border growth I would have probably
8964s	um got population here yeah it's cheaper
8968s	to get a unit and just you know step on
8970s	this one tile you know with a with a
8974s	warrior because it doesn't give you any
8976s	any good for spots uh kind of okay place
8982s	for for a soil but with a border B goats
8986s	can be the strongest um can be the
8988s	strongest City upgrade you can get in
8990s	the G in the game I
8991s	believe but you always have to wonder
8994s	why would I get a border grth what do I
8995s	get out of the Border grow and the
8998s	Border growth it might be things like
8999s	you get a lot of extra resources it
9001s	might be might be that you by border
9004s	growing you deny your opponent parts of
9006s	his village because your border road
9008s	you're like you claim some space that
9009s	would have belonged to your opponent
9010s	once they capture a village um it might
9013s	be that you want to water grow um to get
9018s	exclusive access to roads because
9021s	um all the roads inside of your borders
9023s	your opponent can't use them if roads
9025s	are in no man's land everyone can use
9028s	them so if you border border go you say
9031s	okay from now on all these roads in
9033s	these Styles they're just mine you can't
9034s	use them anymore and makes you a lot
9036s	safer so it is often good to have one or
9039s	two Frontline cities that are border
9041s	grown but to just Border City because
9044s	that doesn't make much sense yeah and
9047s	here um um and a good advice don't uh
9054s	don't move your um your bombers as uh as
9058s	close to the Shoreline as as you did
9060s	because they're then they are like very
9062s	vulnerable to to attacks from the from
9065s	the land so it's better to keep the
9067s	bombers like in in one
9070s	tile um distance from the from the shore
9074s	and explore with with
9076s	Scouts uh to get the division and then
9080s	uh attack from from the distance because
9083s	like we saw here a knight attacked your
9086s	bomber so they are not good for
9088s	exploration definitely and the bombers
9091s	also can't really do much there right
9092s	because like they there are units in the
9094s	fog but they just can't see them so yeah
9097s	without Vision you can't do much mombers
9100s	or there aren't actually any units in
9101s	the fog oh
9104s	well so yeah if there were units in the
9107s	fog you wouldn't be able to do anything
9108s	with them
9115s	yeah so we're definitely good job on
9117s	winning this game but
9119s	uh um I would advise like slower you
9125s	know building your economy and
9128s	um um you know picking the the best tax
9133s	uh you know like gradually because here
9136s	your opponent was was much weaker they
9141s	made some really really strange uh
9145s	economic choices and that's why you were
9148s	able to to overwhelm them but um with a
9152s	better
9153s	player it would be more difficult
9156s	because vur is is weak in
9160s	general uh so yeah well except if you
9163s	spawn rat next to your opponents yeah
9166s	then can rush them yeah like in the
9168s	previous game where that bter and spawn
9171s	the game would be over instantly because
9173s	nothing can stand can stand against
9175s	early swordsman
9177s	MH y so I think we'll be wrapping up
9182s	today all
9184s	right I hope we answered uh yeah as many
9189s	questions as as we could uh maybe next
9192s	time I will do some adjustments so so we
9195s	could uh answer more uh anyway uh thanks
9199s	one for for being our experts and
