| 68s | hello polytopians welcome to the stream |
| 71s | uh today we'll be continuing a tradition |
| 73s | started a few uh months ago uh where I |
| 78s | uh invited fellow poly YouTubers or in |
| 82s | general good players to talk about |
| 84s | polytopia um their channels if they have |
| 88s | any and uh play some games |
| 91s | um this month is is yadak or uras tribe |
| 96s | Moon so we'll be playing uras um and um |
| 100s | my name is Adam you might know me from |
| 102s | the poly champs as Gazo and my guest |
| 105s | today is cloud |
| 109s | glider guys hello I'm Cloud nice to see |
| 114s | you guys here yeah great to have you uh |
| 116s | yeah so how is it going how are you |
| 118s | feeling today good good pretty excited |
| 121s | to play some games with some people how |
| 123s | are you feeling yeah I'm I'm |
| 126s | fine uh yeah so like I said um first we |
| 131s | we we will talk about uh about polyopia |
| 135s | a bit about the cloud gliders Channel |
| 137s | because he's a he's a fellow YouTuber |
| 140s | and then we will um go ahead and play |
| 143s | some some games so the first question to |
| 146s | you um that's an interesting and funny |
| 149s | story uh so tell us about your name and |
| 152s | how you picked it because this um yeah |
| 155s | this is something mysterious yeah so my |
| 159s | username is cloud glider and how I came |
| 161s | up with it is I'm Taiwanese so my |
| 163s | Mandarin name is Rin Shang and gin is |
| 167s | like my last name which literally means |
| 169s | cloud and xang means cide so translated |
| 172s | to English it's like Cloud |
| 174s | glider and a lot of people have noticed |
| 177s | that the spelling is a little weird |
| 178s | there's like two D's I get the question |
| 181s | a lot oh is it Cloud glider or is it |
| 182s | Cloud glitter and I like to say it's |
| 185s | Cloud glider and the reason why the |
| 187s | spelling is weird is because well |
| 189s | there's a story I tell to save face and |
| 192s | there's the actual story so the story I |
| 194s | tell to save face is that when I was |
| 196s | first coming up with the username Cloud |
| 198s | glider the cloud glider with one D was |
| 201s | taken so I added another D to be able to |
| 204s | kind of like use that out of necessity |
| 207s | yeah but the true story is that I just |
| 210s | didn't know how to spell and I thought |
| 212s | Cloud spell 2DS and to keep it the same |
| 215s | I've just been using it with 2DS at CLA |
| 218s | everything so that that's that's like a |
| 220s | similar story as with with the yell |
| 223s | belly it's because Felix did not know |
| 226s | how to how to spell the the jelly so |
| 230s | yeah so that's I see a I see some |
| 233s | pattern here yeah |
| 236s | anyway okay um so uh how how did you you |
| 240s | actually start start playing polyopia |
| 242s | how how uh how long have you have you |
| 244s | been playing the the game why |
| 248s | polyopia so I think the very first time |
| 251s | I ever played the game was with the |
| 253s | friend when I was like when we I was |
| 255s | walking my dog with them and they're |
| 257s | like yo there's this uh cool new game I |
| 259s | found and this was like pre moonrise |
| 261s | before you could do like multiplayer so |
| 263s | we just did pass long long long long |
| 266s | time ago in polyopia history yeah a very |
| 269s | long time ago I just passing it around I |
| 271s | was like wow this a fun game I should |
| 272s | download it and he told me he was like |
| 274s | oh there's no uh multiplayer so you can |
| 276s | only play it with like someone else and |
| 278s | I was like oh okay maybe when they come |
| 280s | out with like online multiplayer I'll |
| 282s | play it and then I think two years ago |
| 286s | when I was a sophomore in winter break I |
| 288s | was like oh I don't really have anything |
| 290s | to do I wonder what I can do and I |
| 292s | remembered that game I did not remember |
| 294s | the name though so I just started |
| 296s | searching online for a bunch of like um |
| 298s | multiplayer like ation game or like |
| 301s | fighting game I did not know what it was |
| 302s | called eventually I found it and I |
| 305s | started playing so it's been about like |
| 306s | two years I've really been playing and |
| 309s | getting into the game I think my |
| 310s | favorite thing about it has to be the |
| 312s | aesthetic like I really like the Skins |
| 315s | the like how it's like pixelated I think |
| 317s | it's really cute that's like the main |
| 319s | thing that Drew me back into it are you |
| 322s | actually a Minecraft player as well or |
| 324s | or not I'm not because um when I was |
| 328s | younger I could like my parents didn't |
| 330s | not allow me to spend any money on any |
| 332s | games so I could only play like three |
| 334s | games and Minecraft was always like a |
| 336s | like you had to like buy an account to |
| 339s | playh yeah because it's it's it's I |
| 341s | think it's maybe not not very common but |
| 344s | uh but the Aesthetics is very very much |
| 347s | similar so um it is similar to Minecraft |
| 350s | yeah |
| 352s | yeah um okay so you uh you already |
| 355s | touched uh a bit on why uh why you like |
| 358s | the game uh what about the the gameplay |
| 361s | aspects what would you um say |
| 364s | here um I feel like maybe like a little |
| 368s | bit more consistency would be nice in |
| 370s | the terms of like uh maybe guaranteed |
| 373s | suburbs just because sometimes you spawn |
| 376s | into a map and there's just no cities |
| 378s | around your capital and it makes it |
| 379s | really hard to start |
| 381s | going if there was like a guaranteed |
| 384s | suburb or maybe like two guaranteed |
| 386s | suburb like a village has to be at least |
| 388s | one or two Village has to be within this |
| 390s | distance of your Capital to provide a |
| 392s | little bit of consistency and make sure |
| 395s | that like a game is at least somewhat |
| 397s | playable would be nice just because |
| 399s | sometimes you spawn into a game and |
| 401s | there's nothing you can do like it's |
| 402s | just lost in the beginning of course |
| 404s | sometimes like it's there it's the |
| 405s | opposite situation where like your |
| 407s | opponent sponsor the game and they have |
| 408s | nothing and you have like a free win but |
| 411s | I feel like just a little bit of |
| 412s | consistency in some way would make it |
| 415s | like more matches would be playable and |
| 417s | enjoyable |
| 420s | okay |
| 423s | um um do you have any any tips for for |
| 426s | beginners uh because some people are so |
| 429s | struggling |
| 430s | to you know when they when they are |
| 433s | starting uh playing um what would you |
| 437s | recommend doing when becoming |
| 440s | um yeah a player of polytopia what is |
| 443s | the most important thing to kind of keep |
| 447s | you in the game and give you some wins |
| 449s | because you know ultimately it's uh yeah |
| 453s | so people like winning so yeah yeah it's |
| 455s | definitely uh breaking into the game and |
| 459s | getting good definitely takes a while |
| 461s | for me it took a lot of losing to really |
| 464s | good players to improve there's a lot of |
| 466s | resources available there's a the |
| 468s | official polytopia Discord Channel |
| 470s | there's poly Champs which recently got |
| 472s | raid actually but it's being brought |
| 474s | back yeah very very and there's yeah and |
| 477s | there's also a lot of YouTube channels |
| 479s | um you can look at goal's YouTube he |
| 481s | posted a lot of guides I think he's on a |
| 483s | break right now but he has a lot of good |
| 485s | YouTube videos up um there's justini |
| 487s | Linguini he's a new YouTuber and I think |
| 490s | he makes videos every single |
| 492s | day my CH is like posting like crazy |
| 496s | yeah he's he's doing great I love his |
| 498s | videos but yeah there's lots of |
| 500s | YouTubers available and lots of very |
| 501s | strong players I would love to play with |
| 503s | you and help you improve MH yeah so we |
| 507s | we we recommend poly Champs it's a it's |
| 509s | really nice Community you can learn a |
| 511s | lot there if you thinking about playing |
| 514s | more more seriously but uh you know even |
| 517s | if you don't it's uh it's a nice place |
| 519s | to to be and also the the poly main |
| 522s | server uh the link is in in the |
| 524s | description so if you feel like |
| 528s | discussing some stuff about polyopia |
| 530s | that's a good place to uh to |
| 534s | be um okay so let's uh move to to other |
| 540s | topics uh so what was your motivation |
| 542s | and why why did you actually start your |
| 545s | own |
| 546s | channel right so um when I started my |
| 549s | channel I think it was kind of when goly |
| 551s | was either right before he went on a |
| 553s | break or about when he went on a break |
| 556s | and also when I was like just starting |
| 558s | school so I had a little bit more free |
| 559s | time and I just kind of wanted to try |
| 562s | making my own content and uh see if I |
| 565s | could start a channel and it's been |
| 566s | pretty fun but um I am still college |
| 570s | right now well it's wi break right now |
| 572s | but I was still I am still in college so |
| 576s | school does get busy at times and I'm |
| 577s | not able to post as consistently as I |
| 580s | would like but I just wanted to make a |
| 582s | channel play some games and have fun |
| 583s | with |
| 585s | everyone uh yeah so um maybe a bit more |
| 588s | so what was what was your goal what what |
| 591s | kind of content um you wanted or you |
| 594s | already posted on on the channel yeah by |
| 596s | the way the the link to Cloud's |
| 600s | uh YouTube channel is is is also in the |
| 603s | description so go ahead and And |
| 606s | subscribe oh I think uh the main thing |
| 608s | is like some replay analysis and also |
| 611s | some live games MH um hopefully in the |
| 616s | future I'll also write some like guides |
| 618s | or like howto type of games but as for |
| 622s | now the it's just mainly replay analysis |
| 626s | and like games yeah so any tips here |
| 629s | here uh but because you already have |
| 631s | some experience so what would you um |
| 636s | recommend uh doing uh to those people |
| 638s | who would like to start their channels |
| 640s | what's uh what are the pros and the cons |
| 643s | what is uh easy what is difficult in |
| 646s | running your own |
| 648s | channel um I think the difficult part is |
| 651s | definitely like editing and also just |
| 653s | finding like a good video to record |
| 656s | sometimes like if you're like for |
| 658s | example if you're doing a live game |
| 660s | there's some opponents that just leave |
| 662s | or like they skip a turn or two and it |
| 664s | just doesn't look make for a great video |
| 666s | um if you have like a friend or if you |
| 669s | are in the poly Champions Discord you |
| 671s | could definitely find a lot of people |
| 673s | who would be very willing to help you |
| 675s | out and make a video so I think the pros |
| 677s | are definitely that the community is |
| 679s | amazing and you'll have a lot of people |
| 680s | that support you and will help get your |
| 682s | channel going you can definitely just |
| 684s | like go into the server and be like hey |
| 686s | guys I made a video please check it out |
| 688s | and you'll have some people that |
| 689s | immediately will click on that link and |
| 691s | watch it and give it a like I think cons |
| 694s | are like I said sometimes if you |
| 696s | depending on what kind of content you're |
| 697s | try to make if it's like a live video |
| 699s | might be might take a few takes to get |
| 702s | the video that you're going for but I |
| 704s | think overall it's a very fun |
| 707s | process okay cool yeah so we if you if |
| 711s | you um are in into polyopia and um you |
| 715s | feel like uh it's a it's a good place to |
| 718s | be so um we encourage you to to make |
| 720s | your own channels and and post whatever |
| 723s | is interesting in on the Square uh |
| 728s | because you know it doesn't have to be |
| 729s | always that because cloud is is |
| 731s | obviously a a pro player uh maybe I I |
| 735s | did not mention that so this is like the |
| 737s | the top of of the game uh stuff but even |
| 741s | if you if you are not as advanced I'm |
| 743s | not a I'm not a professional so uh I I |
| 747s | usually play like play play casual I'm |
| 750s | like |
| 751s | a maybe like a middle tier player so uh |
| 756s | even if you want to share some stuff uh |
| 759s | that you are doing or your games you |
| 762s | don't have to be a a pro player to uh to |
| 766s | get some uh some people to to watch your |
| 768s | uh your |
| 770s | videos yeah um I think we'll we'll wrap |
| 774s | the interview part uh right here um so |
| 778s | now the |
| 780s | the idea is to to play some oras games |
| 783s | because this is the the month of uh of |
| 787s | yadak um and yeah and Cloud uh will take |
| 792s | uh take over from from here so could you |
| 795s | add your uh your Steam and present your |
| 800s | screen I can just share my screen I'll |
| 804s | put the music on |
| 809s | [Music] |
| 812s | let me figure out how to just |
| 826s | SE I got to minimize this first |
| 836s | M how do I make this smaller |
| 845s | there you go |
| 848s | okay |
| 851s | y |
| 853s | so oh |
| 857s | yeah yeah so if uh if uh yeah maybe |
| 861s | let's uh let's first play |
| 863s | some yeah so here's my uh player profile |
| 868s | someone wants to send me a friend |
| 869s | request we could get a game going yeah |
| 872s | just a sec because |
| 877s | I I can't see |
| 880s | the there it |
| 885s | is okay let's do like this because I |
| 889s | this other setup doesn't work apparently |
| 891s | so yeah okay so let's do let's do random |
| 895s | game uh Cloud will be playing orcas |
| 899s | um maybe yeah maybe uh I just find a |
| 903s | random match or |
| 905s | yeah okay I guess we'll be doing Lakes |
| 909s | mhm um I actually don't have the skin on |
| 912s | my steeve account if that's okay no |
| 915s | worries we can we can do y de mhm all |
| 918s | right oh let me turn the volume down a |
| 923s | bit O Okay so the Mountain's blocking |
| 926s | where I want to go but uh yes instead we |
| 929s | will go yes tough polyopia luck |
| 933s | here and okay we do find the |
| 938s | ruins I think the first Village is going |
| 941s | to be here I'll probably send this |
| 944s | Warrior |
| 945s | to how can you |
| 947s | tell that the village is there yeah so |
| 950s | there's these two fruit here which are |
| 952s | what we call indicators and indicators |
| 955s | have to spawn within two tiles of the |
| 957s | village so technically this these two |
| 959s | fruit could be from my Capital but um |
| 963s | because there's a decreased chance of |
| 965s | resources spawning outside Capital |
| 967s | there's a good chance that it's from |
| 968s | Village and there's which is |
| 971s | [Music] |
| 975s | nice how do you actually find find thec |
| 978s | do you like them is it like one of your |
| 981s | favorites or not so |
| 982s | much um I definitely do like them I |
| 985s | think their music is really nice uh I do |
| 988s | miss when they were over I'm playing s |
| 990s | that's a very strong tribe yeah I |
| 992s | definitely do miss when the rows were |
| 994s | two stars and they were even more |
| 996s | dominant tribe I still think that |
| 998s | they're a very solid tribe despite the |
| 1001s | roads not as competitive anymore because |
| 1003s | of the Nerf but definitely still a very |
| 1005s | fun tribe |
| 1009s | mhm right let me pick up |
| 1013s | organization upgrade my Capital yes to |
| 1016s | get the stars back right oh |
| 1021s | continue exploring here find a village |
| 1024s | uh let's see I forgot that we're playing |
| 1026s | Lakes uh cuz for drylands villages can't |
| 1029s | spawn within two tiles of the Border but |
| 1031s | for Lakes there's no such rule so I |
| 1033s | actually see to train this Warrior last |
| 1035s | turn and started exploring here already |
| 1037s | might do you think that there is a |
| 1039s | village uh there in the in the South or |
| 1042s | South there might be there might be but |
| 1044s | if there isn't I can just reroute it and |
| 1045s | go to the lighthouse m y yeah and by the |
| 1050s | way if you have any questions to to |
| 1052s | Cloud uh feel free to to ask them I will |
| 1054s | I will show them on the screen so |
| 1057s | anything about the the game that we are |
| 1059s | playing or any other polyopia |
| 1062s | question um yeah okay there is a village |
| 1065s | here lovely yeah we have Mystic he joins |
| 1069s | oh there's another run I'll probably go |
| 1071s | into writing |
| 1074s | oh writing and try to write it over here |
| 1080s | CU I'm playing simanti so I probably |
| 1082s | need to make sure that I don't get run |
| 1086s | over by hexapods and the best way to do |
| 1088s | that is to have Riders and Roads |
| 1091s | and |
| 1098s | yeah do you do you think that there is a |
| 1100s | there is a connection between the two of |
| 1103s | you |
| 1104s | or there might be I'm I'm seeing a lot |
| 1106s | of s anti terrain here so I'm assuming |
| 1108s | they might be here and connected by land |
| 1111s | but I'll have to see a little bit more |
| 1113s | of the map to know for |
| 1117s | sure unfortunately I can't get an |
| 1119s | Explorer this turn but I will just move |
| 1123s | some units |
| 1125s | over uh probably just train one Rider |
| 1128s | this |
| 1130s | turn CU I do want that Explorer and |
| 1132s | it'll cost 369 for the road and so it'll |
| 1136s | cost 11 I can trade two Riders it's |
| 1138s | terrible mhm I have one star to spare |
| 1141s | for the |
| 1148s | Explorer yeah some vision would be nice |
| 1150s | I have absolutely no clue what he's been |
| 1152s | up to mhm some of the more competitive |
| 1155s | players will pull up the score screen |
| 1157s | and see this number update in real time |
| 1159s | to deduce or calculate what their |
| 1162s | opponent is up to oh so he's right here |
| 1164s | there is a land connection between us |
| 1166s | yeah yeah but uh I'm kind of too lazy to |
| 1170s | do all that sometimes no we are playing |
| 1172s | for fun in all this is like not a bullet |
| 1176s | or or the |
| 1187s | PO yeah it's considering they just |
| 1189s | captured a village here it's very likely |
| 1191s | that they got an Explorer and met me got |
| 1194s | a Fung guy |
| 1195s | here or they could have just gotten the |
| 1199s | oh another pneumatic tribe wow I am |
| 1202s | being |
| 1203s | fed let's get this Explorer |
| 1210s | going population |
| 1213s | growth no let's see what's going |
| 1217s | on there's his Shaman okay I can snipe |
| 1220s | his shamon then that's very lovely for |
| 1224s | me let's |
| 1227s | uh do this |
| 1235s | and yeah so we have we have another |
| 1238s | first person asking about your name so |
| 1242s | yeah but I guess I can uh let's see can |
| 1245s | I get no I can't unfortunately I could |
| 1249s | gamble for an explorer to try to get the |
| 1251s | lighthouse and Giants but think I'll |
| 1254s | just uh train a units look this guy up |
| 1258s | and try to WR her |
| 1259s | and I guess that's the first |
| 1261s | game uh oh don't move your Shaman super |
| 1265s | far up guys it is super dangerous and |
| 1268s | not worth the risk yeah so let's let's |
| 1271s | see what yeah let's let's let's have a |
| 1274s | bit of analysis I uh yeah I wanted |
| 1278s | to ask |
| 1281s | that yeah so how how do you find their |
| 1283s | spawn good he he had a pretty decent |
| 1286s | spawn like you can see that he has two |
| 1288s | animals in cap and three more animals |
| 1290s | here let's see if there was a village |
| 1292s | there was a village so yeah he |
| 1294s | definitely goes into hunting and gets a |
| 1297s | good amount of |
| 1298s | upgrades um he yeah he has decent |
| 1301s | density this Village is a little bit |
| 1302s | further out but from Spawn it looks like |
| 1305s | he should have like this side of the map |
| 1308s | because he has good access here and I'll |
| 1310s | probably get these Villages and then |
| 1312s | from there I would need to go to water |
| 1314s | so I think if it went to the long game |
| 1316s | he would have a little bit he would have |
| 1318s | a more Villages just due to having more |
| 1321s | land whereas I need to expand a little |
| 1323s | bit more slowly because I have to go |
| 1324s | into water you have better water access |
| 1327s | yeah I do have better water access I |
| 1330s | think this could have been a pretty |
| 1333s | favorable game for him but as simanti |
| 1336s | you don't really want to walk your |
| 1338s | shaven super far out because it's such a |
| 1340s | powerful unit being able to boost and |
| 1343s | convert and all that stuff but it is not |
| 1346s | a strong unit on the front lines because |
| 1348s | it |
| 1349s | dies way too easily and it's too |
| 1351s | important of a unit to have there so um |
| 1356s | yeah keep your I would say maybe keeping |
| 1358s | the shaman in capital or at least |
| 1361s | surrounded by units so that well as long |
| 1365s | as your opponent doesn't have Knights if |
| 1366s | they have Knights you do not want to |
| 1367s | surround it with units because it'll get |
| 1368s | chained but you want to keep this unit |
| 1372s | very very heavily protected you not want |
| 1374s | to move it up he moved it really far up |
| 1376s | with no units around it to protect it |
| 1379s | and uh you guys saw what happened it |
| 1382s | ended up getting killed by |
| 1386s | by yep but at this point I would say it |
| 1390s | is pretty dire for siman as they lost to |
| 1393s | Shaman and it looks like they don't have |
| 1395s | a army set up yet they do have a |
| 1398s | centipede coming out but let's see what |
| 1401s | their Eco is at they're at 12 bur I |
| 1404s | think that they they uh they kind of |
| 1406s | resign to too quickly because it's |
| 1409s | pretty quickly yeah because you don't |
| 1411s | have any powerful units and centipede is |
| 1413s | is a mice so yeah centipede would have |
| 1416s | been strong here yeah yeah I would I |
| 1420s | would I wouldn't resign at this point |
| 1421s | but yeah that it is what it |
| 1425s | is um so we have one uh one game request |
| 1429s | so Mystic wanted to play with |
| 1432s | you oh Mystic wanted a game yeah all |
| 1436s | right let me see if he's in my friends |
| 1438s | list |
| 1439s | he is in my friends list okay okay so |
| 1441s | can you send them okay let's maybe let's |
| 1445s | do small this time small Okay |
| 1451s | small all right okay so go ahead go |
| 1456s | ahead Mystic we're waiting for |
| 1461s | you make sure Yak as |
| 1465s | well um yeah any any kind of advice how |
| 1470s | to how to play yadc because they are |
| 1472s | they are quite specific and uh um most |
| 1475s | of the time the opening is pretty simple |
| 1477s | you place a road most of the time you |
| 1479s | want to go diagonal because that means |
| 1481s | your op your expansion options are a |
| 1483s | little bit more Broad and then uh if you |
| 1486s | find a vill if you find two nearby |
| 1488s | Villages you don't get or and instead |
| 1491s | you get your first capital upgrade by |
| 1492s | connecting those two cities and you get |
| 1494s | or after or you can pick up org and and |
| 1499s | get those upgrades with two fruits like |
| 1502s | usual I'm a I enjoy getting doing the |
| 1505s | roads connection upgrade but that's only |
| 1507s | feasible if the cities are like with |
| 1510s | perfect density and closely nearby |
| 1512s | because otherwise the roads are a little |
| 1513s | bit too expensive but um yeah most of |
| 1516s | the time with yadak you go you don't go |
| 1519s | orig and then into writing and then yeah |
| 1524s | okay so uh Mystic will either uh |
| 1529s | either picked yadak as as you did or or |
| 1533s | they are playing |
| 1535s | Alan I don't know looks it looks like |
| 1537s | they're playing yadak as well |
| 1540s | okay so we'll see a mirror match yes |
| 1544s | sir well so far so good yeah they are |
| 1549s | yes I see unfortunately no second |
| 1550s | village there but yeah but we will see |
| 1553s | orcas that's that's exciting yep I see |
| 1556s | the fruit already mhm let's see I will |
| 1561s | go so there's no chance of a village |
| 1564s | here because this is too close by but |
| 1566s | this is one chance of a village only I |
| 1569s | guess I'll still go oh wow that is |
| 1571s | really unfortunate lots of mountains |
| 1573s | here does not look like I can pick up |
| 1575s | another tech or unit yet because I'm |
| 1578s | short on Stars so instead I'll print |
| 1580s | another Warrior and call it a day but |
| 1584s | yeah this mountain range yeah you are |
| 1587s | stunting my already M yeah |
| 1594s | mhm hopefully there's a village |
| 1596s | somewhere |
| 1597s | there no Village there |
| 1600s | either ooh they're right here very close |
| 1603s | by so I'll TR another Warrior can see |
| 1606s | the borders |
| 1611s | yep and there he is hello Mystic |
| 1624s | yeah so Mystic is a fellow player from |
| 1627s | the PO Champs a very good good |
| 1630s | player he's |
| 1633s | usually quite high or |
| 1636s | even winning the polium so we'll have a |
| 1642s | really very good game here yeah so now I |
| 1647s | have the options of or for hunting and |
| 1649s | because this Village looks like it only |
| 1652s | has fruits from what I can see so far I |
| 1654s | will be taking |
| 1657s | or and I'll |
| 1660s | upgrade this |
| 1662s | city so just because I want to free up |
| 1665s | that populations and train more units on |
| 1667s | the front |
| 1670s | line justini also joined us |
| 1676s | o also a very very strong player |
| 1681s | y yes and go ahead and subscribe to his |
| 1684s | channel it's uh he has plenty of stuff |
| 1686s | already even he even though he started |
| 1689s | not that long time |
| 1692s | ago so I'm just going to keep eching a |
| 1695s | little bit get that workshop and I'm |
| 1698s | just going to heal that |
| 1701s | Warrior yeah no Village again |
| 1703s | unfortunately for this |
| 1706s | unit I can kill both these units though |
| 1709s | which is very nice |
| 1714s | mhm but we're kind of just trading kills |
| 1717s | right now trying to trying to be |
| 1720s | annoying to the other player |
| 1727s | mhm |
| 1730s | yeah I'm going to take an explore here |
| 1732s | and try to see what's going on with the |
| 1735s | rest of the map okay so he is also |
| 1738s | expand land in nicely looks like we are |
| 1741s | on the same number of villages at the |
| 1743s | moment both yeah I can see his |
| 1746s | capital in the north right there there |
| 1749s | it is MHM |
| 1779s | I could where's my road there's my road |
| 1782s | I could connect these |
| 1786s | up yeah get the stars back mhm yeah and |
| 1790s | get |
| 1794s | this and then I'll just train some more |
| 1797s | units this guy will we'll go back for |
| 1799s | the lighthouse and |
| 1802s | uh up here and I'll TR another |
| 1806s | Warrior I did consider getting rers this |
| 1809s | turn just because uh the mobility would |
| 1812s | be nice but I feel like I needed to |
| 1816s | start eing up a little bit more and get |
| 1818s | some more units on the field right now |
| 1820s | because if I got a rider it would have |
| 1821s | taken all my stars to buy the tag and |
| 1823s | train Just One Singular unit |
| 1831s | yeah it looks like there should be a |
| 1833s | village near here as well I think there |
| 1835s | has to be a village on one of these |
| 1838s | tiles |
| 1839s | mm yeah these mountains are still oh |
| 1843s | gosh yeah not |
| 1847s | ideal what are the the the metal rates |
| 1851s | with |
| 1853s | the um I think the metal rates for yadak |
| 1856s | are the standard metal rates so it |
| 1858s | should be about um I believe is it 80% |
| 1862s | of All Metals within borders will have |
| 1864s | metal mhm something like that M but |
| 1868s | these mountains are like |
| 1871s | probably there might be a village there |
| 1874s | but oh I don't think there can be a |
| 1876s | village here cuz it's a dry land so it's |
| 1878s | within two tows of the border |
| 1881s | so let's train some more units uh move |
| 1885s | this guy actually I'm okay okay if he |
| 1888s | knocks me off the village just because |
| 1890s | it'd be really expensive for him mhm I |
| 1894s | will send this guy to go for the |
| 1896s | lighthouse |
| 1898s | probably oh place a road to do |
| 1902s | that this guy |
| 1905s | alone oh my gosh the lighthouse was |
| 1908s | blocked by Mountain as well yeah those |
| 1912s | mountains maybe I have to bite the |
| 1914s | bullet and just go climbing at this |
| 1916s | point this is unfortun maybe explain |
| 1919s | what's the deal with the with the ligh |
| 1920s | houses how do they work yeah so |
| 1923s | lighthouses give you one population when |
| 1925s | you reveal them so if I reveal this this |
| 1928s | tile it'll give me a lious MM yep and |
| 1933s | it'll be hopeful in the future for |
| 1936s | upgrading my Capital mhm and when you |
| 1939s | get four of them there's the Explorer |
| 1942s | six uh Monument right |
| 1946s | yep so it looks like the they are they |
| 1949s | went for |
| 1951s | writing that |
| 1953s | is that means I probably have to go |
| 1956s | riding soon as |
| 1958s | well oh there's a ruin there |
| 1964s | okay if they went writing maybe I skip |
| 1967s | out on the lighthouse and just |
| 1969s | expand so I can go writers as well I |
| 1972s | think I'll do oh there's a ruin okay |
| 1974s | I'll go for that |
| 1975s | ruin I will go for writers as well then |
| 1980s | mhm train it right |
| 1983s | here |
| 1985s | and he could try to |
| 1989s | Siege but I don't think he |
| 2003s | will oh yeah there's looks like there's |
| 2006s | a ruin here and a ruin here he might |
| 2009s | beat me to this ruin he might have |
| 2011s | Vision on it since it looks like he took |
| 2013s | a Explorer here |
| 2016s | M |
| 2034s | yeah yep there's some f |
| 2037s | units oh |
| 2038s | yeah he is going to be able to take that |
| 2041s | rtin from |
| 2054s | me let's see what do I want to do |
| 2058s | here move on to this Lighthouse I will |
| 2061s | be killing the 5 HP |
| 2064s | Warrior and I guess this guy can |
| 2067s | probably justay |
| 2069s | here move him to over |
| 2073s | here move this guy up |
| 2077s | here |
| 2088s | rer |
| 2091s | this keep you on this |
| 2094s | road another Rider m |
| 2098s | so explore here yeah want to get some |
| 2102s | more Vision on what's going on in this |
| 2104s | part the map was a ruin will you give me |
| 2107s | that Lighthouse let's go |
| 2110s | M okay so now a potential eye of God is |
| 2115s | possible can I get in rer here no I |
| 2117s | can't he would sieg me if I |
| 2120s | did but to get the eye of God I would |
| 2122s | need this Lighthouse as |
| 2126s | well which I would have to do some plays |
| 2128s | around since he's probably going to kill |
| 2130s | this Warrior |
| 2134s | mhm I could technically place a road |
| 2136s | here and get |
| 2138s | it and he does not have Vision on this |
| 2141s | Lighthouse |
| 2146s | yet he went for farming might have been |
| 2149s | a farming ruin or a star ruin which |
| 2152s | would be quite helpful for him |
| 2164s | if I got a population ruin right now I |
| 2166s | would be able to Giant I believe oh yeah |
| 2172s | yeah although be quite expensive 3 69 12 |
| 2177s | it'll be 12 for the giant it was really |
| 2180s | expensive I |
| 2181s | might I will consider doing it not this |
| 2184s | turn but next turn mhm but it looks like |
| 2189s | uh he kind of exhausted his um options |
| 2192s | to get new Villages and you might get |
| 2195s | like at least one maybe two more so it |
| 2200s | it will be six against four |
| 2202s | cities yeah that's definitely nice |
| 2206s | um I think I |
| 2209s | actually will go |
| 2213s | for this Lighthouse right now just |
| 2215s | because I might not get another |
| 2217s | opportunity to take it |
| 2221s | mhm so now I'm |
| 2223s | just one population short of a giant |
| 2230s | which I can get by getting this |
| 2231s | Lighthouse |
| 2233s | mhm after which I can place my Monument |
| 2236s | either here or here for stars back and |
| 2239s | then in either City I |
| 2242s | need for this city I need hunting and |
| 2245s | farming for a giant for this city I need |
| 2247s | hunting |
| 2249s | farming actually I would still be two |
| 2252s | population |
| 2257s | off so I'll probably place my Monument |
| 2260s | here since this looks my like my weakest |
| 2261s | Village at the moment and I want to |
| 2263s | strengthen it a bit more and there's his |
| 2266s | first |
| 2275s | giant yeah he's a lot of his units |
| 2293s | together |
| 2297s | Wonder definitely |
| 2311s | yeah at the moment we're both uh trying |
| 2313s | to be careful with our units so we're |
| 2315s | not throwing them away |
| 2317s | needlessly looks like I'm six out of 10 |
| 2319s | for killer so I do need a lot more kills |
| 2322s | before I can get |
| 2324s | killer I will be moving some units back |
| 2327s | just because I don't want to sacrifice |
| 2330s | them needlessly |
| 2331s | for and kind of get him towards killer |
| 2334s | mhm |
| 2336s | so oh yeah I have a lot of stars I just |
| 2339s | realized I will go hunting this turn and |
| 2342s | get some |
| 2348s | upgrades so I actually did not need to |
| 2350s | move that City that unit into the city I |
| 2352s | would have been able to train our units |
| 2355s | but |
| 2359s | okay and this guy can just moov here I |
| 2362s | don't need that |
| 2364s | many and then looks like I can go |
| 2367s | farming soon and get a giant |
| 2372s | here I think a border growth here would |
| 2375s | give me one two is there animal here no |
| 2377s | one two three pop still be too |
| 2387s | short yeah now he's trying to just get |
| 2389s | some kills MH have some |
| 2393s | movement on his side |
| 2402s | yeah he can place a road to you Retreat |
| 2404s | the rider to |
| 2407s | safety he's going heavily on the units |
| 2415s | mhm and there's his second giant I will |
| 2418s | also be getting my second |
| 2420s | giant so looks like he's going to be |
| 2422s | targeting this city since it is one of |
| 2424s | the weaker ones mhm |
| 2437s | so what's your strategy |
| 2439s | now first let's find that Village uh I'm |
| 2442s | going to move this giant towards that |
| 2444s | City to defend I need to do a little bit |
| 2446s | of micro to make sure that I don't leave |
| 2449s | anything super vulnerable though see if |
| 2452s | I can sneak this Warrior towards that |
| 2456s | Village and snag hunting before I |
| 2459s | capture the |
| 2461s | city a giant would be 14 so I would only |
| 2465s | have four stars left |
| 2467s | which is not ideal so I will do it this |
| 2472s | way and move that |
| 2477s | over I don't want to block this tow for |
| 2479s | my giant so I will kill it like so m |
| 2488s | Mo you over |
| 2491s | here this guy up |
| 2495s | here so he could Siege my city if I left |
| 2498s | the warrior here mhm he could Siege it |
| 2502s | regardless but I can make it a little |
| 2504s | bit more difficult for him by training |
| 2506s | some units |
| 2524s | so I can actually also get my grand |
| 2525s | Bazar if I connect these three cities up |
| 2527s | to my Capital as well currently only |
| 2530s | these two are |
| 2534s | connected two out of three kill Rider he |
| 2536s | could potentially get a |
| 2538s | veteran |
| 2540s | mhm what do you actually think about the |
| 2543s | the recent change with the meditation |
| 2546s | that it gives you you the option |
| 2550s | to to veteran your units after two |
| 2556s | kills sorry you can meditation yeah so |
| 2559s | meditation uh they they added this uh |
| 2562s | this feature that you can uh with |
| 2564s | meditation you can not only get the uh |
| 2567s | get the sorry the what's |
| 2570s | the uh the alter of Peace uh but you can |
| 2574s | also veteran your units after two kills |
| 2579s | wow I did not know that I like that a |
| 2580s | lot actually it makes the tech a lot |
| 2582s | more |
| 2585s | competitive yeah I think so too it's |
| 2588s | because meditation was actually kind of |
| 2591s | useless uh bit |
| 2594s | like free free spirit right yeah so just |
| 2599s | just a step towards uh philosophy or |
| 2602s | towards chivalry so yeah I I think so |
| 2606s | too it's it's a a good |
| 2618s | change oh I forgot that that's to |
| 2621s | blocked oops oh |
| 2643s | kind of |
| 2647s | here keep the guy |
| 2651s | TI Why are you moving |
| 2654s | back um because he's trying to push into |
| 2656s | me right now and I'm okay with that so |
| 2660s | I'm gonna because I do will be able to |
| 2662s | get the village Advantage so I'm okay |
| 2665s | with him trying to push into me a little |
| 2667s | bit mhm mhm and I do have my uh killer |
| 2671s | monument and I can get my roads Monument |
| 2673s | which means that even if he sieges I'll |
| 2675s | be in a comfortable position still mhm |
| 2679s | oh there's this veteran I can kill |
| 2686s | it yeah he saw it that he can't move |
| 2689s | this Rider back so |
| 2693s | it's yeah it's actually reasonable to to |
| 2697s | make it |
| 2699s | more difficult for you to kill it oh wow |
| 2702s | he's getting a lot of veterans actually |
| 2709s | mhm yeah he's handling his units quite |
| 2720s | well can I get a Houdini here one one |
| 2724s | one two I don't think I can get to this |
| 2726s | Tower can I |
| 2731s | yeah unfortunately I don't think I can |
| 2732s | get to that tile okay that's |
| 2746s | fine could get a border |
| 2748s | growth think I'll do that take up some |
| 2751s | space mhm yeah this cut also |
| 2756s | cuts Cuts him off from roads yeah |
| 2766s | yep actually when you when you um make |
| 2769s | your moves can we can we check |
| 2771s | meditation because I I saw this in in |
| 2774s | beta |
| 2775s | definitely the the meditation stuff you |
| 2778s | know maybe there |
| 2781s | wasn't put iname eventually let me |
| 2785s | finish up my moves here |
| 2787s | yeah yeah take your |
| 2794s | time yes because this is a live game |
| 2797s | guys |
| 2798s | so time is precious time is very |
| 2802s | precious |
| 2810s | yeah yeah the city is going to be sieged |
| 2813s | next turn mhm uh I should have enough |
| 2819s | 369 and then giant here as well mhm so |
| 2823s | can you check the de tree |
| 2830s | yes uh at the moment it's just pacifist |
| 2833s | and Mountain so I think the okay two |
| 2835s | kill veteran is still in beta |
| 2844s | okay yeah he's definitely playing quite |
| 2847s | well with his veterans and things like |
| 2855s | that I wonder if he sees these |
| 2862s | ruins yeah he's trying to block very |
| 2866s | aggressively o what a |
| 2870s | push |
| 2871s | unfortunately I can kill all of |
| 2876s | them see which one do I want to kill |
| 2879s | I'll kill like |
| 2881s | this |
| 2883s | then |
| 2885s | this |
| 2891s | this do I want to do this |
| 2916s | oh and there's a |
| 2921s | resonation okay |
| 2923s | GG y |
| 2927s | GG's I'll finish up my turn yes yes |
| 2935s | sure but yeah it was |
| 2938s | I would say it was a fair time to call |
| 2942s | it U mostly just because I have the |
| 2945s | village advantage and uh MH not much he |
| 2948s | can do if I just throw my giant at |
| 2951s | him yeah so Mystic says uh the game was |
| 2956s | lost once uh once you got that Northwest |
| 2959s | Village yeah I thought so too because |
| 2962s | then you cut them uh off the rest of the |
| 2965s | map but let's let's see the the replay |
| 2968s | let's look at the replay I would |
| 2970s | definitely say I was favored by spawn it |
| 2973s | seems like uh can't wait on on the fog |
| 2976s | so we we see the the |
| 2979s | movement yeah let me look at his |
| 2981s | perspective since really know |
| 2983s | mine this Village actually is quite good |
| 2987s | and I assume he placed his Road |
| 2989s | here see yeah he did y mhm MH yeah |
| 2995s | expanding in two directions utilizing |
| 2997s | that Diagonal Road very |
| 3000s | nice and then we find each other very |
| 3002s | quickly |
| 3004s | mhm I'm surprised he bought did he buy |
| 3007s | or this turn and not use |
| 3012s | it yeah he did indeed so most of the |
| 3015s | time if you're getting a tech you should |
| 3018s | use |
| 3019s | it kinding your options yeah that's the |
| 3023s | golden rule of |
| 3025s | polytopia it is indeed |
| 3029s | let's try and he gets his upgrades so |
| 3031s | should we should we call it as as a |
| 3034s | mistake I not a major mistake since like |
| 3037s | he knows he's going to go or I think the |
| 3039s | first major mistake is right here he |
| 3042s | uses both of these units a 10 HP and a 5 |
| 3046s | HP to kill a 9 HP but in this trade he's |
| 3050s | losing two Warriors and kind of |
| 3052s | basically his entire expansion force in |
| 3055s | order to kill a 9 HP Warrior if this 9 |
| 3058s | HP Warrior were like out here I |
| 3060s | definitely think it would be the right |
| 3061s | play cuz like then it's cutting off my |
| 3063s | expansion MH but it's over here within |
| 3066s | my borders where I'm like spawning from |
| 3069s | instead of sacrificing his expansion and |
| 3072s | helping me move my units further since |
| 3075s | Warriors have Dash I can move a tile and |
| 3077s | then kill his Warrior so I'm effectively |
| 3079s | moving two tiles using his units as like |
| 3082s | jumping pads to launch my units even |
| 3085s | further yeah I think instead should have |
| 3088s | considered either using this Warrior to |
| 3090s | expand or maybe even just healing it and |
| 3092s | getting some more upgrades I think yeah |
| 3094s | this was I think just too aggressive |
| 3097s | here |
| 3098s | MH |
| 3101s | yeah yeah you can see I just get these |
| 3103s | two kills yeah and you essentially block |
| 3106s | him because he doesn't have units too |
| 3108s | yeah now he doesn't have enough units so |
| 3110s | he can't go Riders yet and he needs to |
| 3113s | slow down and get more units whereas |
| 3117s | because I got those like two more units |
| 3119s | up now you can see I'm really cutting |
| 3121s | him off from this part of the |
| 3127s | map oh he does get a really nice |
| 3129s | Explorer basically sees everything about |
| 3132s | me I also got that nice Explorer on him |
| 3134s | though so |
| 3136s | MH yeah so he did have Vision on that |
| 3139s | ruin and he moved very well to knock me |
| 3141s | off of it |
| 3144s | mhm yeah at this point we're both doing |
| 3147s | Warrior spam and trying to play |
| 3149s | carefully in these unit trades cuz we |
| 3152s | saw that that first trade I would say |
| 3155s | was one of the biggest turning points of |
| 3157s | the game |
| 3160s | mhm this was very well executed getting |
| 3163s | kind of sneaking the Warriors around the |
| 3166s | borders |
| 3167s | and suddenly surprising me with all |
| 3170s | three of them to make a play for the |
| 3171s | ruin |
| 3172s | mhm more careful counts on how many of |
| 3176s | them there were |
| 3177s | to what did he get he got farming got a |
| 3181s | star used to far star ruin okay got |
| 3184s | farming which is very nice yeah now he |
| 3186s | can |
| 3189s | giant yeah I think if I didn't get that |
| 3191s | pop ruin the game might have also been |
| 3194s | very different mhm |
| 3197s | yeah now he's kind of scuttling his |
| 3200s | units around and getting his first giant |
| 3203s | up and with the monument and three |
| 3206s | population he has his second giant right |
| 3208s | here mhm but for yadak because you start |
| 3212s | with |
| 3213s | roads the ability to get five villages |
| 3217s | to connect to Capital is really big |
| 3219s | because that's like once you get that |
| 3220s | connection it's five population share of |
| 3222s | capital and a monument so effectively |
| 3226s | like a population if you just connect |
| 3228s | everything it can be really really |
| 3231s | useful MH yeah this this turn he kind of |
| 3234s | pushes very aggressively and tries to |
| 3235s | kill as many of my units as possible to |
| 3238s | set up for his giant attacks I think um |
| 3241s | seeing my giant in capital here and |
| 3243s | seeing these resources here and not |
| 3244s | seeing any of my monuments going for |
| 3247s | this Village was probably the more |
| 3249s | clever Play Just Because this Village uh |
| 3253s | has no resources other than forests so I |
| 3256s | would either have to Tech into forestry |
| 3258s | which is more expensive than like uh |
| 3261s | just uh org and hunting and not really |
| 3265s | as common of a tech you see Astic CU you |
| 3267s | see I have a lot more Farms Farm here |
| 3270s | Farm here Farm here Farm here Farm here |
| 3272s | y than Forest so I don't want to go |
| 3274s | forry but to defend the city I might |
| 3277s | have to so I think if he had routed this |
| 3280s | giant here which is I think uh he went |
| 3284s | here it would have been one turn slower |
| 3287s | but it would have been a more annoying |
| 3288s | attack to deal with also because he's |
| 3291s | also attacking here and these two cities |
| 3294s | are closer than these two cities so in |
| 3297s | defending this Center City I can also |
| 3299s | quickly rout units over whereas if he |
| 3302s | attacked this city now I kind have to |
| 3304s | split half my Army so instead of kind of |
| 3307s | keeping everything like in a chunk maybe |
| 3309s | in this region where it can reach both |
| 3311s | cities I would have to keep some units |
| 3313s | here and S units here and it would be a |
| 3315s | more annoying |
| 3317s | attack yeah here I think he kind of |
| 3320s | realized that I have too many villages |
| 3322s | and I have too big of an advantage he |
| 3325s | had to go all in to try for something |
| 3328s | and uh so I do agree with this play even |
| 3331s | though it didn't work out I think it was |
| 3332s | kind of like a Hail Mary like a Do or |
| 3334s | Die moments and |
| 3338s | yeah yeah fun game thanks for Mystic |
| 3342s | says uh I didn't go uh to the East |
| 3346s | Village because your giant was nearby so |
| 3350s | well my giant was here regardless so |
| 3353s | going to like yeah I think in the end |
| 3356s | this still going for the East Village |
| 3358s | would have just been a little bit better |
| 3360s | or maybe just rout it again to this |
| 3363s | Village and attack it with two Giants or |
| 3365s | something yeah but this game is is a |
| 3367s | great example of uh how you know like |
| 3370s | one like a teeny tiny not significant |
| 3374s | action might actually turn the the game |
| 3376s | around so we've been talking about this |
| 3379s | Warrior exchange uh at the beginning so |
| 3383s | because this is this is already you know |
| 3384s | like uh ADV |
| 3387s | phase of the game um but yeah it happens |
| 3392s | sometime that you uh you think that this |
| 3395s | is like nothing and then it's uh it |
| 3399s | turns into a a win or or |
| 3403s | defeat yeah sometimes it's the it's a |
| 3406s | really small micro interaction that |
| 3408s | really sets off a chain reaction and end |
| 3410s | the |
| 3412s | game yes so Mystic says I'll beat you |
| 3415s | one day cloud |
| 3418s | I'm sure you will I'm sure you will |
| 3420s | thank you for the game yep thanks Mystic |
| 3424s | yeah so let's uh let's do maybe one more |
| 3427s | this time maybe on |
| 3429s | continents that's the third type we can |
| 3433s | try did anybody want to play a game or |
| 3436s | should I look for a |
| 3438s | random yeah let's let's ask the the chat |
| 3441s | anyone wants to play cloud |
| 3451s | [Music] |
| 3453s | no volunteers so let's do random all |
| 3456s | right uh random match oh sorry sorry |
| 3458s | there is there is one there is one |
| 3461s | volunteer |
| 3463s | um so how do we do it uh maybe could you |
| 3468s | uh could you set up a game and then make |
| 3470s | a link so we can post it in the yeah |
| 3474s | sure in the chat uh we wanted to do |
| 3477s | continents |
| 3479s | yeah all right I'll make only selectable |
| 3491s | mm all right let |
| 3494s | me mhm if you could paste |
| 3498s | it yeah let me just pull up that YouTube |
| 3501s | live stream so I paste it m |
| 3508s | yeah so anyone who wants to play Cloud |
| 3511s | there will be a link in the in the chat |
| 3513s | so all right I put Link in there yeah so |
| 3519s | first first come first surf |
| 3538s | H I can't see your |
| 3540s | comment oh you don't see it |
| 3544s | no did it not send let |
| 3550s | me no we don't have time today for an |
| 3554s | FFA Mystic |
| 3556s | sorry or maybe can you can you send uh |
| 3559s | the link to to me in this private chat |
| 3562s | that we have sure I can I can send it to |
| 3565s | you in the private chat and then maybe |
| 3568s | not sure why it's I'm not sure why it |
| 3570s | didn't send well he sent me a friend |
| 3572s | request okay I can I can yeah so let's |
| 3575s | do it this way mhm let's do it this way |
| 3580s | oh uh I don't see did you send it to the |
| 3582s | right account I'm on my steam right now |
| 3583s | so the username is msif |
| 3594s | Fern I also sent the link to you got if |
| 3597s | you want to um put it in the chat |
| 3613s | y yeah so the link is there oh there you |
| 3616s | go okay okay I can add him |
| 3626s | oh he's not here |
| 3629s | yet there go |
| 3632s | okay good luck have fun yes good |
| 3651s | luck all right looks like he is Host |
| 3654s | this game and we have a light oh we both |
| 3657s | have a lighthouse spawn okay and the |
| 3659s | reason we know that is because you see |
| 3661s | that this Lighthouse is covered by a fog |
| 3663s | tile so a fog takes away five points |
| 3667s | from your vision so we start with 610 |
| 3669s | score instead of 615 meaning that we |
| 3672s | both had a lighthouse spawn mhm okay so |
| 3676s | far so good we do find a village let's |
| 3678s | hope that there's a village here |
| 3683s | too and with continents there is no way |
| 3685s | that you can be connected |
| 3688s | right um I think it depends on the size |
| 3690s | of the map but most of the time that you |
| 3693s | are not connected by land so you have to |
| 3696s | go into yeah I'm hoping for for some |
| 3698s | water action y |
| 3701s | y so in this case I can capture this |
| 3704s | Village and instead of going or for my |
| 3706s | first upgrade I can actually connect |
| 3708s | these two cities for the first upgrade |
| 3711s | yeah so this will be like a kind of |
| 3714s | textbook uh |
| 3717s | example how to play yadak in those First |
| 3725s | turns and uh I personally don't like |
| 3728s | those uh roads that form like a circle |
| 3730s | because it looks really inefficient even |
| 3732s | though sometimes I think sometimes it is |
| 3734s | the better play but as a I I just don't |
| 3738s | like seeing that like pattern so I I |
| 3740s | placed it here anyways okay but um I |
| 3744s | think as a rule of thumb most hly Champs |
| 3747s | players tell you that you want to place |
| 3748s | your roads in the cardinal directions |
| 3750s | mhm so okay |
| 3754s | yeah oh looks like my continent is a |
| 3757s | little bit small I will train a warrior |
| 3759s | to get that |
| 3760s | Lighthouse actually I might send it here |
| 3763s | first just because I don't want |
| 3765s | to not have these |
| 3768s | Villages and I need |
| 3771s | or actually have 11 Stars I can get oron |
| 3774s | two upgrades so that's pretty nice |
| 3781s | nice know I think I will go for |
| 3784s | this yeah get the Stars first |
| 3793s | and I'll probably just |
| 3796s | get one upgrade just |
| 3800s | because I really want to expand there in |
| 3803s | case there's Villages because in |
| 3805s | continents |
| 3806s | I feel like it's pretty hard to contest |
| 3808s | Villages after they're taken just |
| 3810s | because the land access is pretty |
| 3813s | limited see what this is a swordsman |
| 3817s | okay there's more land there is a |
| 3819s | village there let's to place a |
| 3829s | road get another |
| 3834s | workshop and then soon we can start |
| 3837s | looking to get into the water cuz with |
| 3841s | fishing I have a oh hunting as well |
| 3843s | actually but with fishing and a port I |
| 3846s | do have another upgrade here fishing is |
| 3850s | seven I'll have 16 so I can get my first |
| 3852s | unit on the water this turn |
| 3855s | mhm so how strong are you feeling on on |
| 3860s | water um well I'm not going to be able |
| 3862s | to get any uh Naval I'm not going to be |
| 3866s | able to get anything up other than a |
| 3868s | what's it called a raft this turn so not |
| 3871s | the strongest but we shall see how it |
| 3875s | turns out |
| 3877s | so this guy here and in general uh which |
| 3880s | Maps do you prefer those that have water |
| 3883s | or dry lines which one is your favorite |
| 3887s | I think I'm kind of on the extremes like |
| 3890s | either give me a lot of water or a lot |
| 3892s | of land so my favorites are dry lands |
| 3894s | and Ary archipel |
| 3896s | mhm yeah I like cuz I feel like um it |
| 3900s | makes it a little bit more simple just |
| 3902s | knowing that like okay I'm probably only |
| 3905s | going to be going water units I'm |
| 3906s | probably only going land units um I feel |
| 3910s | like M but it's also really fun to do |
| 3913s | maps that kind of have both like Lakes |
| 3916s | UMC but my only gripe with lakes is that |
| 3920s | it is really inconsistent because how |
| 3923s | random the generation can be mhm |
| 3927s | there's not a lot of places I can expand |
| 3929s | oh there might be a no they can't be |
| 3931s | aitch there but it's land there |
| 3936s | yeah unfortunately there was nothing |
| 3947s | there yeah so based on the setup they |
| 3950s | they are definitely in the South |
| 3951s | probably yep yeah they're definitely in |
| 3954s | the South they could technically be in |
| 3956s | the west as well but I feel like there's |
| 3959s | a high chance of the South just because |
| 3961s | the land looks like it spawned |
| 3968s | here I'll probably get my first explorer |
| 3971s | next turn and try to find them they are |
| 3974s | really high on score which is a little |
| 3975s | bit concerning |
| 3978s | mhm but my content was pretty small so |
| 3990s | Port okay those give me a lighthouse |
| 3992s | that's |
| 3993s | nice there they are |
| 3998s | mhm and there's a random mount in the |
| 4001s | middle of there oh yeah that's funny you |
| 4004s | don't see that |
| 4006s | often yeah but it might be like a really |
| 4010s | uh |
| 4011s | tough kind of defensive uh structure |
| 4016s | I remember this one game from police PM |
| 4019s | when |
| 4020s | uh uh I think vce was putting his |
| 4023s | warriors on |
| 4025s | archipelago like every turn on on a |
| 4028s | mountain and uh he blocking the movement |
| 4032s | of the other player so that's a that's a |
| 4036s | really tough to |
| 4043s | break Daren I wanted to |
| 4046s | build a bridge and snipe this ruin but |
| 4049s | now they're blocking me |
| 4052s | m far not a bad ruin at all what did you |
| 4057s | get Farming ruin quite |
| 4062s | good so I could make this into a ra a |
| 4065s | scout but I think it would be a lot more |
| 4069s | dangerous if I landed it and I do want |
| 4072s | to kind of set up an attack here so move |
| 4077s | this guy |
| 4079s | over you can still deny them yep I would |
| 4084s | to deny them that really mhm oh I can |
| 4088s | also get my first |
| 4091s | giant yeah so there was a question about |
| 4094s | the the |
| 4095s | bridges so for now there is just one |
| 4098s | tile where Bridge could be placed |
| 4108s | we will see if this |
| 4111s | is anything you |
| 4115s | would |
| 4120s | use but yeah I will definitely be |
| 4123s | placing a |
| 4134s | bridge yeah he knows that I can Siege |
| 4137s | the city so he's trying to preemptively |
| 4138s | weaken my |
| 4140s | swordsman M yeah but there is not much |
| 4143s | he can do if if you Siege |
| 4148s | him CU |
| 4152s | those those Warriors are already |
| 4162s | weakened yep still get that Siege M |
| 4166s | let's continue expanding here see if |
| 4169s | there's anything there another |
| 4177s | ruin yeah so here on this he pops a |
| 4179s | giant that's the CD is |
| 4182s | yours yeah |
| 4185s | but even if he pops well I can actually |
| 4188s | get this |
| 4192s | upgrade before I get another Giant |
| 4202s | but yeah uh another interaction I really |
| 4204s | like is I feel like veteran swordsman |
| 4206s | early game for Ary and continents are |
| 4211s | very very powerful units like I would |
| 4214s | even go so far as to say they are even |
| 4216s | more powerful than on drylands just |
| 4219s | because um oh they're going to snag the |
| 4223s | St from me unfortunately just because |
| 4226s | uh when they're made into |
| 4229s | rammers that's a 20 HP rammer and it's |
| 4232s | really difficult to deal with whereas |
| 4235s | for drylands it's always the same way to |
| 4237s | deal with it right you'll just get like |
| 4239s | four Riders and or five Riders and you |
| 4241s | can deal with it |
| 4244s | mhm yeah yeah and Riders are much |
| 4247s | cheaper than Scouts much cheaper than |
| 4249s | your own rers another sord okay let's |
| 4255s | see I can get that into the water do I |
| 4257s | want a rammer this turn I could get |
| 4260s | rammers I'll get a rammer and deal with |
| 4262s | that |
| 4268s | Scout and I just keep exploring a |
| 4271s | little I'll move this guy back into |
| 4274s | borders so I can uh and I chose to move |
| 4277s | him onto this town inad of this to |
| 4278s | because this to is a road so it's |
| 4279s | actually slightly faster |
| 4287s | I don't want to move next to land so he |
| 4289s | doesn't get any easy shots on me yeah so |
| 4292s | he he took |
| 4297s | riding there's SC oh there's a village |
| 4300s | right here I think M yeah |
| 4303s | interesting Yep this map setup is |
| 4306s | a is a bit crazy with this Lonely |
| 4310s | Mountain in the yeah this Lonely |
| 4313s | Mountain I was like is there a village |
| 4315s | here but I was like no it's too close |
| 4319s | yeah but we see a lot of uh strong |
| 4323s | players do is if there's a like Naval |
| 4327s | Village just one tile instead of |
| 4330s | upgrading it for resources they'll |
| 4332s | upgrade it for a wall because it makes |
| 4334s | it almost impenetrable it is so |
| 4338s | difficult to break through that and you |
| 4340s | rarely see walls on like dry lands just |
| 4342s | because uh you want the five stars back |
| 4344s | and kind of start |
| 4347s | but |
| 4347s | on or like on just any map with like |
| 4350s | cities just like lone cities with no |
| 4353s | around it that wall is so strong so |
| 4361s | strong but I'm actually going to not |
| 4363s | take the starfish and instead take this |
| 4366s | Village |
| 4369s | M and |
| 4372s | uh move this guy over here and land my |
| 4376s | giant so I can throw it at that City |
| 4377s | next turn and mm I'm actually going to |
| 4380s | reveal that this turn just cuz I want |
| 4382s | vision and I can hit it oh he has |
| 4386s | another city on the water somewhere here |
| 4389s | mhm yeah there's a |
| 4395s | con and another SW this is crazy I can |
| 4400s | get |
| 4401s | another up here |
| 4407s | and I can honestly start going |
| 4409s | Defenders Defender Naval units would be |
| 4412s | pretty |
| 4417s | nice one two three four okay nice it |
| 4420s | still connects I was worried that it |
| 4422s | wouldn't |
| 4426s | reach yeah he is going to start hitting |
| 4428s | away at my Juggernaut which is a really |
| 4431s | smart decision because juggernauts have |
| 4432s | stiff so they do not do retaliation |
| 4436s | but he also has to wor about these |
| 4440s | others will you Siege them or not I will |
| 4443s | Siege them with the Juggernaut because I |
| 4445s | can hit with the rammer then hit with |
| 4447s | the Scout and then Juggernaut has a |
| 4448s | clear path right into the City and also |
| 4451s | splashes this yeah that's smart yeah |
| 4455s | MH so yeah the hit order is important |
| 4458s | here because if I reversed it then uh |
| 4461s | let me see what's going on here oh |
| 4464s | that's his capital okay |
| 4467s | let's start moving unit in oh I was not |
| 4471s | expecting that I was just trying to |
| 4472s | clear some fog yeah in the spirit of |
| 4475s | that let see oh a |
| 4483s | ruin I forgot I got my killer Monument |
| 4485s | oh let's you know what I saw how strong |
| 4488s | that landed uh that swordsman was let's |
| 4491s | do it again mhm |
| 4499s | yeah it connects |
| 4503s | mhm and I can get another giant here |
| 4507s | with two |
| 4516s | monuments get another |
| 4519s | Defender yeah so getting |
| 4522s | Defenders as Naval units is another way |
| 4526s | to make your um Navy more more |
| 4531s | tanky because you can obviously get the |
| 4534s | aquatis yes that's that's the tech uh |
| 4538s | but it's you know it's a third tier Tech |
| 4540s | so it's it's expensive it is very |
| 4543s | expensive yeah uh Defenders are the |
| 4546s | cheapest and most efficient way to get |
| 4550s | up tanky Naval units just because they |
| 4553s | have they one more star in term of cost |
| 4557s | but they have half we have 50% more hit |
| 4562s | points so it's very very good |
| 4565s | yep do I want farming oh I already have |
| 4568s | farming what do I |
| 4572s | need I could get |
| 4575s | construction but I think I can just play |
| 4578s | aggressive |
| 4582s | here oh is this another game that I can |
| 4584s | get IE of I will sneak around and get |
| 4586s | the eye of God |
| 4589s | again |
| 4591s | wow I'm super favor by RNG today I don't |
| 4595s | think I've ever gotten this many I have |
| 4599s | Gods video doesn't happen |
| 4607s | often I just need Scouts CU I can't |
| 4610s | reach this giant otherwise mm |
| 4616s | oh actually if I got |
| 4618s | hunting I can get a park in capital |
| 4620s | because um my capital is all the way on |
| 4623s | the other side of the map if I get a |
| 4625s | giant it's going to take one two three |
| 4629s | four five turns just to reach whereas if |
| 4631s | I get a par I can start making income |
| 4633s | right now |
| 4635s | yep the one I guess pretty big argument |
| 4639s | I have with a lot of other Pros in poly |
| 4641s | e Champs is that a lot of them think |
| 4643s | parks are terrible |
| 4646s | but personally I really like Parks okay |
| 4650s | A lot of times um people see me going |
| 4653s | parks and they're like why are you being |
| 4655s | so disrespectful just get the super unit |
| 4657s | but I'm like I genuinely think that |
| 4659s | parks are great like I'm not being |
| 4662s | disrespectful okay that's that that's a |
| 4665s | new thing for me I I thought uh like you |
| 4668s | know that |
| 4672s | uh |
| 4673s | like anyone who who I'm following from |
| 4676s | from the polyopia you know Pro scene |
| 4680s | they they would go for for super units |
| 4682s | unless this is like a like a really you |
| 4685s | know long game and then you need Eco at |
| 4688s | the at the end more than I think um |
| 4692s | another case that you would go Parks is |
| 4693s | if it like significantly speeds up the |
| 4696s | rate at which you get markets because |
| 4698s | markets right now are really really |
| 4701s | really powerful like |
| 4703s | mhm in almost any game that is bigger |
| 4707s | than small you need to get parks to win |
| 4712s | well not need to but if your opponent |
| 4713s | rushes Parks before |
| 4715s | you they've won like half the game maybe |
| 4719s | like 75% of the game already they're |
| 4722s | just really powerful right now with how |
| 4725s | um like the ability to get eight more |
| 4728s | stars per city is just massive |
| 4732s | M yeah so Olas is nice game but I |
| 4735s | seriously found a big issue you are too |
| 4740s | SC but yeah I do get the capital Siege |
| 4744s | and uh I did get my eye of God and the |
| 4748s | ru was navigation which is very lovely |
| 4753s | mhm wait I did get off to a very good |
| 4758s | start yeah that's a lot of starfish |
| 4765s | oh I can't kill |
| 4784s | that oh yeah now I'm just gonna close in |
| 4788s | on his |
| 4789s | Capital hit is then I can get one more |
| 4792s | Giants well I guess I'll do construction |
| 4794s | next expensive |
| 4805s | way yeah he can un Siege this turn but |
| 4808s | next turn I can Siege it with a giant |
| 4810s | which is not as easy to un Siege |
| 4821s | y I can go climbing here can I afford |
| 4826s | wow I can afford uh |
| 4830s | philosophy I just want to go climb in |
| 4832s | the smack it one more |
| 4836s | time but yeah I think you Brut |
| 4841s | unfortunately unfortunately that Siege |
| 4844s | is unbreakable so that will be the game |
| 4849s | yeah but yeah I think uh me having these |
| 4852s | two cities closer to my Capital than him |
| 4855s | because he only had this one City close |
| 4856s | by and he had to kind of go a little |
| 4858s | further for the second one for yadak |
| 4861s | that is a really big difference just |
| 4863s | because um you know the roads play gets |
| 4866s | my eco go my uh Workshop going a little |
| 4869s | bit faster and then polyopia is a very |
| 4872s | like snowballing game once you get going |
| 4874s | you just kind of build up more and more |
| 4876s | and you go faster and faster sometimes |
| 4878s | it's that one turn MH it's that one turn |
| 4881s | that it takes your snowball to get going |
| 4884s | that gives like that slight Edge you |
| 4887s | need over your opponent to win but um |
| 4889s | let's see if there's |
| 4893s | anything yeah GG's thank you for the |
| 4897s | game yeah the diagonal Road getting that |
| 4900s | Village |
| 4903s | great yeah the see you can already see |
| 4906s | that the upgrade is one turn slower |
| 4907s | because of the distance |
| 4912s | mhm he goes fishing very early I would |
| 4915s | have gone for the upgrade probably but I |
| 4919s | think it's it's okay as well yeah he's |
| 4921s | playing very aggressively trying to |
| 4924s | expand so he's on the water a lot |
| 4927s | earlier than I yeah well is it a lot |
| 4928s | earlier I don't remember exactly which |
| 4930s | TR I was got on the water but he gains |
| 4933s | Vision on next turn yeah this turn okay |
| 4937s | yep he can't there is this upgrade that |
| 4940s | you've been uh missing so this upgrade |
| 4942s | and this upgrade you want to get those |
| 4944s | level two to level three upgrades as |
| 4946s | soon as you can because uh if you're |
| 4947s | getting resources they only cost one |
| 4949s | star and you make that star back |
| 4951s | immediately next turn so it's really |
| 4953s | useful I also don't think climing here |
| 4956s | is super helpful just because you can |
| 4958s | just as easily go around here um you |
| 4961s | already have Vision on most of what I'm |
| 4963s | doing and you already see my borders so |
| 4965s | going here and going onto the mountain |
| 4967s | is effectively the same M just gives you |
| 4969s | one extra to of vision I don't think |
| 4971s | it's and even if I get see if I see you |
| 4974s | here you have you can train like a unit |
| 4977s | in our car here to un Siege and you do |
| 4981s | gain Vision on by veteran swordsman but |
| 4983s | I would argue that that's not helpful |
| 4985s | just because if you did just because it |
| 4989s | can't Siege and even if it could you are |
| 4991s | not going to be able to build up the |
| 4993s | units to un |
| 4995s | Siege this turn anyways so you can't do |
| 4999s | much with that information |
| 5002s | yeah yeah here you can see I'm |
| 5005s | out expand here uh what would you say |
| 5009s | because I think he so he took sailing |
| 5012s | instead |
| 5013s | of uh ramming right or is it yeah I |
| 5017s | think um let's see when did you make the |
| 5020s | decision between sailing and raming was |
| 5022s | it this turn |
| 5025s | or Okay so this turn you still only have |
| 5032s | fishing just because there's so much |
| 5034s | deep water here I think you have to go |
| 5036s | sailing just because if you go raming |
| 5038s | and you're stuck to these tiles I can |
| 5041s | just line up Scouts here and uh just |
| 5045s | yeah but my thinking is so if he got a |
| 5048s | rammer actually he could you know uh |
| 5051s | maybe not try to prent me from block but |
| 5054s | like stop you for for a while uh with |
| 5057s | your water expansion because those those |
| 5059s | rafts are like you know obviously you |
| 5061s | can get ruins or something but |
| 5065s | um you can't really turn them into |
| 5067s | Scouts right because they're I |
| 5070s | think if your first Port was here and |
| 5073s | maybe this raft was over here like next |
| 5076s | Northwest of |
| 5078s | kog and you turn it into rammers to kill |
| 5081s | any units I put into the water from eulo |
| 5084s | it would have completely turned the game |
| 5086s | around just because this city is |
| 5088s | effectively at the moment my only access |
| 5092s | only water access onate so if |
| 5095s | consistently denying me this port I can |
| 5098s | only either get another port in which |
| 5100s | case you just route the rammer over and |
| 5101s | cut me off or I do it from here but you |
| 5104s | can see from here it takes me a lot of |
| 5107s | time a lot of turns a lot of movement to |
| 5109s | get to this side of the map which is |
| 5111s | where all the water is so I think if you |
| 5114s | had been able to shut down this port you |
| 5116s | would have been able to establish Naval |
| 5118s | dominance strcture especially because |
| 5120s | you had two cities three actually three |
| 5122s | cities that you could go into the water |
| 5124s | from Asos goes to my one and then later |
| 5127s | two mhm you know yeah good catch about |
| 5130s | the shutting down my |
| 5136s | port yeah so we we talked about this |
| 5139s | kind of a mistake with with the |
| 5142s | climbing it was unnecessary a |
| 5146s | little yeah here I'm landing the V SW |
| 5148s | sitting up for The Siege I do see that |
| 5151s | you um let's see you weaken my veteran |
| 5154s | sword |
| 5155s | here I think with two |
| 5158s | hits so at this point you need three |
| 5160s | hits to kill my veteran swordsman I |
| 5163s | think um if you don't send this Warrior |
| 5165s | to the ruin and actually Rod this unit |
| 5167s | over and train a unit here you would |
| 5170s | have had the three extra units you |
| 5172s | needed to un Siege this city so I think |
| 5175s | uh putting this unit into the water here |
| 5177s | was a mistake and going for the ruin as |
| 5179s | well |
| 5187s | yeah suiciding the Warriors is kind of |
| 5190s | pointless but I guess it would die |
| 5191s | regardless so it's |
| 5193s | okay writing at this point also seems a |
| 5196s | little bit too late like I I'm guessing |
| 5198s | it's because you're still threatened by |
| 5199s | the V sour soon but it's at 10 HP so |
| 5201s | it'll be a while before it can really do |
| 5203s | any damage again here I would either try |
| 5206s | to rush a giant to like fight the Navy I |
| 5210s | have or like get rammers and start to |
| 5213s | trying to pick off these |
| 5215s | so you can see the moment I get rammers |
| 5217s | I can start shutting you out of the |
| 5219s | water a lot |
| 5222s | faster oh that's not a helpful Ru at all |
| 5225s | but well I guess it does get you the c |
| 5227s | cap |
| 5230s | upgrade yeah from here it's |
| 5232s | unfortunately just over because I have |
| 5235s | Naval advantage and City Advantage M |
| 5239s | yeah and you have foothold on this |
| 5241s | continent so it's yeah it's really easy |
| 5244s | for you to to attack them I feel like uh |
| 5248s | continence kind of has two phases the |
| 5250s | first phase is like building up on your |
| 5252s | own continent and you can kind of greet |
| 5254s | a little you don't need to train a bunch |
| 5255s | ofs you only need to enough to expand |
| 5258s | quickly efficiently and then upgrade |
| 5261s | those cities then after that after you |
| 5264s | the greed phase is the attack phase is |
| 5266s | when you start getting onto the water |
| 5268s | and attacking your opponents and then |
| 5271s | it's like that fight to get the |
| 5273s | advantage and then to get foothold and |
| 5275s | then once you get the foothold is when |
| 5276s | you can really start going all in and |
| 5279s | taking over your opponent's continent |
| 5284s | yeah but yeah any any more any more tips |
| 5287s | for for our |
| 5290s | viewer um I think to summarize it would |
| 5292s | just be uh make sure you get these level |
| 5295s | three upgrades as early as you can and |
| 5298s | don't buy on necessary texts like uh |
| 5300s | climbing here didn't really help you out |
| 5303s | and uh try to be a little bit careful |
| 5305s | about what you do with your units like |
| 5307s | if you had sent a trained a unit here |
| 5309s | and sent the two units on this that you |
| 5311s | sent elsewhere to defend the city you |
| 5313s | would have been able to hold the |
| 5317s | city yeah so big thank you from from |
| 5320s | TT yeah so thanks |
| 5324s | playing yeah so I I think we'll uh we'll |
| 5328s | end here um we had three three good |
| 5332s | games uh yeah one like different |
| 5335s | different kinds of terrain and different |
| 5338s | tribes uh so yeah it was |
| 5342s | um yeah it was a pleasure how did you |
| 5346s | like it uh it was really fun to be able |
| 5349s | to play games with everyone and uh thank |
| 5351s | you for having |
