Transcript (by Youtube)

29s	e e
90s	a
141s	hello good people of
142s	polytopia uh today we have an ayon mid
146s	midnight stream uh for you um my name is
149s	Adam
150s	uh and you might know me from poly
153s	champs as as
154s	gou uh from now on uh I'll be um the
158s	manager of the polyopia channel so
160s	whatever will happen in the future um
164s	that's uh pretty much my doing uh and
167s	today with me is a good friend of all
169s	the polyopia tribes uh Toby welcome to
173s	the stream it's great to be
176s	here yeah so um first of all we we will
181s	uh read about uh something about the
184s	this fantastic skin um I from what I've
188s	heard a lot of people uh were like
193s	really um yeah they love the the the
196s	skin very much so uh good good job uh
200s	good job
201s	mijan yeah so let's go through the uh
205s	through the blog post so first of all um
208s	it says spread Darkness with thean
211s	midnight
212s	skin among the darts spooky Forest
215s	resides the midnight cult and um
219s	Insidious group ofion that worship and
222s	draw their power from the mysterious sh
225s	Shard or
228s	n um they've set their sides on the
231s	transforming the square into endless
233s	Dark Forest populated by hungry uh dire
237s	wolves corrupted dragons and sh
241s	demons yeah so the first uh the first
244s	change is um instead of Poors the
247s	midnight cult prefers to uncover the
250s	graves of the deceased and revive them
253s	as shadowy beings known as
256s	demons building Crypts uh will allow you
260s	to uh uncover uh more of these Graves
263s	grave sites in uh in your forests yeah
267s	so Toby how do you like the this this
269s	change because this is uh a lot of um
273s	like the the Polaris kind of style of
276s	claiming the land so there's still the
279s	uh the lyrian terrain visible but um but
284s	the midnight cult has to claim the
287s	lent I actually really like the effect
290s	whereas pois was traditionally the only
292s	one that really had like some sort of
294s	encroaching threat that was visibly well
297s	visible as you watch the entire terrain
299s	get converted to snow
300s	now you can just watch every just the
302s	darkness spread across the land uh as
305s	midnight takes over MH okay cool um so
310s	the magic that fuels the nightmarish the
313s	desires will spread to the land
316s	and um the land they conquer functioning
320s	as an indicator of their strength yeah
322s	so this is actually what what we already
324s	said that uh not all the Alan terrain
328s	will be uh will will be visible as um as
333s	the midnight right um and all the units
338s	were changed so even the mighty fire
341s	dragons aren't immune to the corruption
343s	to the corrupting influence of the uh
346s	Shard Dan uh and have uh lent their help
349s	to spread the darkness so how do you
352s	like the the units
355s	um I definitely like the uh demons that
359s	get summoned the
361s	different variation and what kind of un
363s	because instead of going um me me I'm
365s	very much a collector so instead of
367s	having a whole bunch of different units
369s	I'm trying to find uh like okay well I'm
373s	gonna create this sanctuary in this spot
375s	so I can get some turtle
376s	tars um n you just you get demons and
379s	they look really really cool especially
381s	in all the different colors besides just
383s	the typical Lyon and pink so like
386s	honestly with the uh demons with uh the
390s	zazi orange look more like a
392s	charcoal and like if I had a choice I
395s	would actually be playing as orange for
397s	them all the time because I think every
399s	looks really really really
401s	cool um but I know that you had some
405s	kind of dislikes about the the daggers
407s	and something else I remember that from
410s	your live streams yeah it was mostly
412s	because the daggers didn't really get a
414s	difference they're still just cloaks
416s	people but um it's at the end of the day
419s	it's a it's fine it's probably something
421s	that's not going to come up too much
422s	anyways as cloaks aren't too common or
426s	prominent but whenever we do see the
428s	change that every unit gets an update
430s	and then there's literally one unit that
431s	doesn't I I I just get a little sad of
433s	going well this one got left
436s	out yeah I have one one maybe small note
439s	about the the dragons I think they they
441s	should have added you know like a
444s	different color fire or maybe you know
447s	like an acid because right fire you know
451s	like a the previous fire dragon and now
454s	it's just you know like a black fire
458s	dragon yeah so in in this instance I
462s	would have uh changed
464s	the yeah what dragons spit out of their
468s	uh
471s	mouth yeah but in in general it's uh
473s	it's it's it's a it's a great upgrade
477s	um yeah and actually
480s	yeah I was I was I was uh I I forgot
483s	actually to uh to ask you to to
485s	introduce yourself a bit because um
488s	probably not everyone knows you um yeah
491s	so
493s	maybe let's let's do it now before we
497s	start playing fair enough all right so
499s	just brief introduction uh my name is
501s	tolby I play politopia every Sunday um
506s	uh just playing pretty much whatever
507s	tribe usually small lakes
510s	trying to show hey you don't have to
512s	play meta tribes in order to win we have
515s	played quite a bit against quite a bit
517s	of semanti and still had a good win rate
519s	so literally every tribe we play we're
521s	able to make it work against the average
523s	Joe out
524s	there um one one other thing is is even
528s	though I haven't been prominent on the
530s	competitive scene uh much lately but I
532s	am also on the uh Reaper team which is
535s	currently going through some renovations
537s	right now uh along with like a little
540s	mini casual tournament going on the
543s	inside yeah so uh the link to Toby's
546s	channel is in in the description so go
548s	ahead and uh subscribe and follow his
551s	live streams every every
555s	Sunday yeah so I think that's pretty
558s	much it as it comes to um to this uh
564s	introduction kind of phas so we can we
567s	can move on to to playing some games uh
570s	Toby will play I will uh manage the the
574s	stream um yeah I'm not a multitasker so
578s	it's better if there's someone someone
580s	with me and you know doing the the hard
583s	work uh yeah I'll we just observing and
586s	and asking questions yeah and if you
588s	have any questions about the the game
591s	that Toby uh will be playing or you know
594s	some other aspects of the of polytopia
598s	um go ahead and and ask them
601s	I will pass those questions to to Our
605s	Guest fantastic so I'm already getting
609s	ready to look up for a multiplayer game
611s	just for those who haven't taken a look
613s	at it ayon a Midnight's cult has been
615s	corrupted by The Shard of the NAA a
618s	Mystic old Relic fueled by Darkness
622s	through necromancing practices they can
624s	summon demons from graves in the dark
628s	forests uh and for competitive of games
630s	that are 2v2 this would be an excellent
631s	pick to also pick up with the cultists
634s	so you know just for thematic
641s	purposes yep so let's let's play some
644s	random I gota wait my opponent to go
646s	ahead and accept the game there we
654s	go so we'll see how this one goes not
657s	going to lie this start is mediocre we
659s	at least get a Village right off the bat
660s	we're going to start off by doing the
663s	traditional uh well in this case demon
666s	push and try to get some extra
675s	distance looks like our
678s	opponent our opponent is also playing as
681s	Aion so we'll see if they're also using
683s	the midnight skin or not
687s	yep um nothing else to do with our Stars
689s	so we get to pass the
691s	turn this demon on top is going to be
693s	migrating around the top this Demon's
695s	going to be going around the north side
696s	of the mountain while we capture this
699s	Village we will not be picking up any
701s	texts due to how many stars we currently
704s	have and based on Relic placement our
707s	opponent's probably somewhere here in
709s	the South mm are you're thinking about
713s	some sanctuaries or oh yeah we've got
715s	what kind of
716s	play uh I typically love to do a uary
720s	Strat where I get to summon a whole
721s	bunch of demons I know a lot of people
722s	prefer to use it as just pure economy
724s	which is very valid it's a solid
728s	strategy
730s	um but we're going to go ahead I don't
732s	need to pick up the technology now I can
735s	yeah first question it's like so sorry
739s	uh so Jacob is asking when is the next
742s	Drive coming
745s	out uh I wish I could answer that yeah
749s	actually you have an answer for that um
752s	soon yeah yeah so this is all we can say
756s	for now Jacob we we don't
759s	know so the they are coming the probably
762s	the special tribes rework or at least
766s	Aquarian um rework is coming so be
770s	patient and uh there will be some some
774s	good changes major changes yeah
782s	yeah next question when are the Ancients
785s	coming ah I actually have an answer for
787s	that one it's also going to be soon soon
791s	yeah all right well we got a pseudo
794s	mirre
795s	match mhm yeah you found them
802s	okay we're going to let our opponent
804s	step
806s	forward uh
810s	in the meantime Lumber HS Lumber
813s	HS and I'm going to do a workshop
815s	there's no reason for me to explore up
818s	here it'd be a little more efficient but
820s	we know our opponent's here in the South
822s	so I'll I will be eventually getting
825s	everything we're going to keep this
826s	demon here and pass the turn
848s	they leveled up a
852s	City Uncovered a whole bunch of
865s	clouds I think we're in a much better
866s	position than our opponent is MHM
872s	mental not score wise score-wise uh
875s	they're only at600 and their spawn is
878s	here in the South if I can rush
884s	out to go there I'm actually
889s	go that hurts my soul we're gonna
892s	Warrior just on the village and pass the
896s	turn but we get to do some strats so
900s	right now this unit is currently facing
902s	towards this tile if we train a demon
906s	it'll get pushed over to here allowing
908s	us
909s	to never mind it's blocked
916s	yeah not bad just could have been better
920s	on their part yeah I think that they
922s	know what they are doing
939s	okay some nice ruins what do you expect
941s	from
944s	ruins what would you like to
947s	get riters are going to be pretty strong
950s	in this situation so the
955s	ruins if I move the demon to this tile
958s	it'll clear up these two clouds and
959s	makes it to where I don't get any
962s	uh uh an Explorer so I'd rather make
965s	sure I don't get one mhm swordsman would
969s	be unfortunate so that's the most likely
974s	outcome not going to lie either stars or
976s	technology would be great that's all I'm
978s	really hoping for
985s	mm's doing a good job in preventing me
988s	from
992s	that's real good we G to go ahead and
994s	take that Workshop I need
996s	to just
1003s	train we're just train up a whole bunch
1005s	of units we're actually going to train a
1007s	warrior here not a
1009s	rider and pass the
1011s	turn because next turn we could do again
1014s	we can uh do demon summoning uh
1017s	Shenanigans we have to keep in mind that
1019s	our opponent did zip over this way so
1021s	we're going to try to keep our eyes out
1023s	to see if they get uh 280 more
1028s	points but our last uh kind of fear is
1032s	they're currently working their way
1033s	around here to the West so that's what
1036s	this Rider is here to do is to help cut
1038s	them off all right they did pick up
1040s	another city M probably the
1044s	spor it's more than likely right here
1047s	mhm
1052s	so what you reckon um going I know for
1056s	for a land battle
1057s	or there's would you rather go go
1060s	sailing and and try to establish water
1064s	domination I think as long as I continue
1068s	to push the land like
1072s	so we should be fine oh veteran
1077s	nice h
1081s	trying to decide if I boost him or not
1083s	if I don't I think he just
1086s	dies so we're going to go ahead and
1090s	accept the
1092s	Boost you g to go there you get to go
1099s	here we can go
1102s	for organization fruit
1106s	fruit get ourselves those resources
1109s	build a
1112s	crypt and we train ourselves a writer to
1115s	help support the front line pass the
1117s	turn yeah tricky question from joany
1123s	um so who's your favorite team on on py
1127s	Champs
1130s	oh I mean I am a part of Reapers so it's
1135s	got to be Reapers
1136s	right yeah you know freaky
1139s	it is valid question now you can say You
1142s	Know Arctic wolves or you can say
1146s	Kraken maybe you would like to be
1148s	transferred somewhere there's a big
1150s	Revolution coming what what are your
1152s	thoughts about the the changes on on PO
1155s	Champs with the teams you
1158s	know um so not being any uh so like uh
1164s	getting rid of the the junior teams and
1166s	every every team will have their own
1174s	personality that's their
1176s	capital okay
1180s	uh can I do anything about this I don't
1183s	think
1187s	so okay yeah if you smack the the
1189s	warrior I don't think that they'll be
1191s	able no it's a five5 HP um Rider so
1196s	they'll be able to un Siege yeah yeah
1199s	they'll be able to un Siege but uh I'm
1201s	definitely in a very confident position
1203s	right now
1212s	uh I can get our first dragon egg here
1214s	in a little
1217s	bit facing that
1219s	way I want to apply some pressure
1234s	that one's not going to level two too
1235s	much so we're go and do that but I
1237s	should be trying to get my first dragon
1240s	um so when I first uh joined poly Champs
1243s	I was expecting you know more trades to
1245s	be happening and even whenever trades
1248s	did come up and I was always mentioning
1249s	like hey yeah I'm def like if y'all want
1252s	to just use me as trade material go for
1254s	it because you know I'm fine with the
1256s	change that team was kind of in a ah no
1258s	we're we're we're fine we're
1260s	happy got to stay and uh yeah
1266s	so actually there's a village here in
1268s	this
1270s	corner because of this Farm tile right
1272s	here
1274s	mhm yeah so the golden pixel is asking
1277s	uh what's your favorite tribe qu quz
1282s	Yeah you mentioned that you were quali
1285s	main actually for a long time right mhm
1288s	very much a qu Z man for a good time
1301s	M get to go
1306s	there b
1309s	bop bop
1320s	to say I should look for ruins but we
1321s	actually know there are no ruins over
1323s	there so we're just going to go oh a
1325s	village
1327s	nice do I need to fight for Naval
1330s	superiority right now that actually is a
1332s	new question I need to ask again no
1335s	we're going
1340s	archery archers in the back dang I
1342s	actually wished I had enough for another
1343s	riter
1353s	yeah at this point I think they have
1354s	enough to kind of push back against your
1358s	your offensive on
1360s	land oh yeah you know they could
1362s	definitely um stop the offensive but
1367s	mhm one thing that I do notice a lot of
1370s	people are very hesitant of is they go
1373s	no I these poly tars are cash only I
1376s	cannot spend them as units I refuse
1381s	unless the city's going to be sieged
1384s	then then they go all right spend
1386s	everything but everyone's very hesitant
1388s	about actually using their
1396s	resources next turn do I just pick up
1398s	the
1400s	farming I think we
1406s	do so the main goal is for us to not
1409s	lose this front cuz we're going to be
1411s	getting the dragon egg
1420s	first city right
1426s	here I could also go uh
1429s	roads well I can't benefit from roads at
1431s	the exact
1435s	moment I'm actually G to just keep that
1438s	right there h b
1448s	upop
1458s	b we're going to go ahead and get that
1462s	farming Farm oh wait I got the monument
1466s	oo population growth mhm first EG is
1470s	coming you'll see a black fire
1476s	dragon I can actually rush it out right
1486s	now
1489s	yeah yeah we'll do
1492s	that
1496s	Park Park of Fortune
1505s	go and get an explore okay
1508s	yeah come on come on no no no
1513s	no that's a bum unlucky
1516s	yeah H skill
1522s	issue so you have two lighthouses
1526s	right I have two of the lighthous and
1529s	it's going to be really tricky for us to
1530s	claim the one back here
1534s	mhm if I actually demon will get their
1538s	oh jeez okay so they I mean you say OG's
1543s	but I already got archers so we'll be
1545s	fine oh yeah right
1548s	mhm yeah and the boats are expensive so
1551s	boats are so expensive yeah it's
1553s	Mobility on the water sure but uh
1555s	they're spending a lot of resources when
1558s	I can do the exact same thing but with
1567s	archery I think the next important thing
1570s	is we're actually going to build City
1571s	walls here because it's important we
1573s	don't lose this
1584s	city ooo that's a lot of poly tars this
1587s	person is actually not afraid to be
1588s	using their
1595s	poar so we can go here and then we can
1597s	change his Direction by
1611s	attacking yep Seven Stars gone
1630s	um any texts no n no texts we don't have
1634s	the we we got roads already we probably
1637s	have all the texts we need to win for
1639s	the most part okay unless the game DRS
1642s	drags out even
1644s	more um really just debating do I level
1648s	this up for a lot of extra
1650s	stars or do we go ahead and ah we're
1653s	going to do the safer thing we're get
1654s	the city
1665s	walls and pass the
1668s	turn reason we're now moving this
1670s	Warrior back is so we can put him on
1671s	this mountain uncover these clouds so
1673s	then we can do an explore on this and
1675s	get this lighthouse on all the way over
1676s	here
1684s	we also know there's no Villages over
1686s	here we're doing all of this just for
1687s	vision well actually no there is a
1689s	village uh either here or
1692s	here more than likely it's well we know
1696s	it's not here because of this tile here
1697s	so it's either here or here or
1701s	here because there's no other way they
1703s	could have gotten you on the water
1710s	oo they're making a big polytar
1728s	push aha so it's on this tile right
1732s	here
1734s	um so we got to move you over here
1741s	bring you
1753s	back uh we got to trainer War at least
1755s	on one of
1757s	these all righty we're going to go
1763s	farm
1766s	explore ooh
1769s	why would I do
1771s	that I don't like this
1774s	map oh that's hilarious all right uh
1777s	Road well uh no farm with a
1782s	fruit
1783s	resources yeah this map is crazy we got
1787s	to train an Archer here in the back
1791s	mhm but at least your demon is still
1794s	going oh yeah going for the lighthouse
1799s	in 10
1804s	turns I got to train another Archer back
1809s	here we have to
1816s	remote I mean he knows there's a demon
1818s	here he'll probably just kill the demon
1820s	with uh two Scouts that he's getting on
1822s	these tiles the main goal never mind is
1826s	gone okay light for him M yeah that's
1830s	actually the monument he's got all
1833s	four really yep okay I mean we don't see
1836s	this one but we can see the other ones
1838s	oh yeah yeah I see the the the gem in
1841s	this okay that's a bonus for him we're
1844s	going to go ahead and continue to yeah
1846s	there was the monent okay first
1852s	tag we're still doing fine just I wish
1855s	we were in a slightly better position I
1857s	may actually have to fight for the water
1858s	but
1859s	archers
1860s	are the cheaper solution but I might not
1864s	be able to stay cheap for very
1868s	long opponent's doing a good job at
1870s	preventing us from getting on to the
1873s	water do you think there is a connection
1875s	between the
1878s	city uh Fe something and the this one in
1883s	the uh South Southwest or did did he get
1887s	there with the with
1891s	rafts there is not a connection all
1895s	three of these water tiles don't uh show
1898s	land right here
1909s	okay beautiful
1912s	y I think this city won't last long
1920s	yo yeah that's a beautiful
1926s	play how aggressive do I want to be the
1930s	answer for me is usually
1934s	yes yeah we'll double Siege why not
1952s	going to put that there just to do some
1956s	denial uh in this case we still need
1966s	archers and we're actually going to go
1969s	ahead and just farm farm for another
1972s	Dragon egg
1982s	where I'm just double cheing all my
1984s	units all right we're fine passing the
1987s	turn so it is possible for them to un
1990s	Siege but they're gonna have to convert
1992s	both of these into Scouts which then in
1995s	turn we kill both the scouts with all
1997s	the
1998s	archers it's going to be expensive for
2000s	them to uh fight back for
2003s	that again this this has been a uh
2006s	ongoing debate on the stream that
2008s	archers are just no good this is the
2010s	power of archers we've got very small
2011s	waterways right here
2014s	mhm sure I don't have vision of these
2016s	tiles but yeah they are awesome you
2018s	showed it you know many times uh on your
2022s	streams that uh when you like were kind
2026s	of lagging behind your uh your opponent
2028s	and then you made a uh some comebacks
2031s	with with the archers
2039s	this Archer is very much exposed this
2041s	Warrior can hit it if he gets climbing
2059s	but oo moving out with the dragon egg
2078s	sorry I wasn't paying attention uh just
2080s	answering the questions how they how did
2082s	they match to uh managed to un Siege
2087s	managed to un Siege uh they did exactly
2089s	what I mentioned they spent 10 stars to
2090s	get two Scouts to order to un Siege
2094s	it
2096s	however we just PR
2101s	sieg yeah there's no no no coming back
2104s	from this yep nice play
2121s	yep I'm going to try to be as aggressive
2123s	as possible we're moving our archers
2125s	forward those archers are more than
2127s	likely going to die
2131s	does he have roads already because I see
2134s	I see Riders but no roads
2139s	yet
2143s	rer I missed all right we're going to do
2147s	exactly what we probably should have
2148s	done a while ago and we're going to pick
2149s	up
2150s	fishing
2153s	port do I pick up border growth
2158s	border growth makes it harder for me to
2159s	get my um
2162s	Dragon but I don't think it's really
2164s	about getting the dragon a it'll give me
2167s	vision of this
2169s	tile can I get the
2172s	dragon I cannot get the dragon so we're
2176s	going to do a border growth mostly so we
2178s	also get vision of that tile Warrior
2181s	over there and yeah and you'll have more
2185s	space to upgrade your units so pass the
2188s	turn this will be
2191s	useful as
2193s	well we're essentially put just applying
2195s	a lot of pressure to our opponent
2197s	forcing him
2199s	to um focus a lot more on this land
2201s	because don't get me wrong they can
2203s	absolutely answer this they have the
2206s	economy so they can un Siege this they
2208s	can't do anything about this city down
2210s	here um especially since they already
2213s	spent all their
2214s	monuments if they didn't they could un
2216s	Siege with a dragon egg
2221s	woo poar push
2224s	action yeah full
2229s	swing I was hoping that this Archer
2231s	wouldn't die but apparently oh it's fine
2234s	it was time for
2236s	him the Archer accomplished its job I
2239s	was I mean it was technically was a bad
2241s	trade but we're everything we're doing
2243s	with that is trying to prevent them from
2245s	keeping this city mhm
2253s	I could build a
2258s	bridge o here's an interesting idea even
2262s	though the city it's level two only 150
2266s	points so it still needs three
2268s	four nine
2271s	Pops I can't get nine pops well I can
2275s	get nine by one okay so I could get a
2278s	dragon egg here m not in one turn it
2281s	would take two
2284s	turns but I can hurt their technology
2287s	and their economy by doing an eternal
2292s	Siege
2296s	okay that's an interesting
2299s	play us as a note usually the best
2303s	answer is just Siege just Siege just
2306s	Siege the city
2312s	Warrior uh that's going to be the better
2314s	play in like nine times out of 10 m um
2319s	but right now I'm trying to prevent my
2322s	opponent from getting any texts like
2323s	Knights and knights are expensive so
2325s	this is just get three
2328s	mors
2331s	Ryder Road
2341s	on a second note I could have had the
2343s	grand Bazar if I didn't do
2346s	that yeah that's fine we'll be fine uh I
2352s	can't go there so
2358s	Workshop rer
2375s	yeah so uh John clippy is is asking
2379s	about the the map Creator uh what do you
2382s	think about that so he was actually
2384s	asking when is when is it going to be
2386s	released but um what's what's your
2390s	opinion on on the M Creator um are we
2394s	talking about the fan-made one that you
2395s	know technically not supposed to be used
2396s	or the fact that we're apparently about
2398s	to get one CU I haven't heard any news
2400s	about that I would love one okay don't
2403s	get me wrong I would love one but I
2404s	actually got an interesting idea on that
2408s	I mean this one's actually a hot take a
2409s	lot of people may hate it some people
2411s	may go oh oh wow they've got a
2413s	uh that that was spash damage there
2419s	okay but
2422s	um if we're very insistent on
2428s	trying to have Fair Maps but also the
2431s	dev really
2432s	wants um more random Maps because that
2436s	the argument can really go either way
2438s	about which way's going to be
2442s	better
2444s	um
2446s	but there could be some form either a
2450s	we're now in the age of AI there's also
2453s	the idea that we could be oh man
2459s	H um make an algorithm so in AI is
2463s	making the
2464s	maps
2468s	or uh and allow like players to kind of
2471s	vote like yeah this is a good map this
2473s	is a bad
2474s	MAP and eventually have a mapmaking
2477s	algorithm that the the community can
2480s	agree like yes this is the proper way
2481s	map should be made so you mean like uh
2486s	give uh AI some tips and then it kind of
2490s	figures out what's the
2492s	best uh best way of uh generating the
2495s	maps oh yeah okay yeah I like that all
2501s	right so our opponent's now going with
2502s	riters which is the correct answer to
2504s	archers so we already knew we weren't
2507s	going to be able to stick with
2510s	uh archers forever
2538s	do I continue to Siege this
2541s	one yeah we got to continue to sieg it
2544s	how many stars does bring
2546s	them so they do have a do they not have
2550s	a workshop oh they don't have a workshop
2551s	so it's only three stars a
2555s	turn
2573s	yeah so we put our boat over here
2575s	because I think they have oops I need to
2578s	move you over here good
2581s	enough a fire dragon
2585s	finally there's our
2587s	dargan yeah so they can Siege but we can
2591s	un Siege
2593s	mhm yeah now the dragon is in
2600s	range I don't know if moving the bomber
2603s	there is the right choice mm yeah
2606s	because those both uh both of those
2609s	boats are dead
2612s	right yeah all all three of these boats
2615s	are dead
2618s	yeah and a
2622s	lonely lonely set bomber is not a good
2625s	idea
2626s	oo I can apply a lot of pressure I all I
2629s	need to do is put two units on the water
2630s	at a time and that's it
2636s	m yeah mind that's alive sort
2655s	of I think we have enough units that I
2658s	don't need to have this Dragon keep
2659s	doing that I'd rather start leveling
2661s	this city up as well is there any text I
2664s	want before I
2666s	capture yes it's
2675s	aquaculture and with one
2678s	road Network monuments is
2681s	complete yep uh
2687s	Farm get ourselves some
2692s	resources all right next bit we're going
2694s	to go right here kill that
2711s	36 Stars that's a nice result it's
2719s	okay how do you think they are
2721s	doing our opponent they' got multiple
2724s	sanctuaries and they seem to be keeping
2726s	up so
2728s	not too bad we are running out of
2729s	archers but that's
2731s	okay we knew the archers weren't going
2733s	to be
2736s	permanent
2738s	um rer
2743s	here yeah but I spent a lot of um stars
2747s	on the on the bomber I don't think this
2749s	this was the right play oh no definitely
2754s	not well I mean a lot of the current
2757s	understanding from the general like more
2758s	casual Community is whoever rushes The
2760s	bombers first wins
2763s	mhm which it's because of how much
2766s	pressure that they can apply but just
2769s	with this I've got two units on the
2770s	water and unless they can kill uh both
2773s	of them completely which they might be
2775s	able to they got another Scout or
2777s	something here then they
2780s	can but I can just keep throwing two
2782s	units on the water turn
2790s	plus the moment this turns into an elder
2792s	dragon that going to help a lot
2803s	yep I think we pick up strategy next
2805s	turn
2808s	mhm yeah you need some tank units to
2811s	stop those Riders mhm
2818s	the other option is invest a lot to get
2820s	Smithy but I think Defenders are
2837s	better move you right over to here we're
2840s	going to go and secure this kill don't
2841s	mind
2844s	me um
2860s	forgot which way this unit's facing it
2861s	should be facing this way right no I
2863s	think I moved it from here to here so
2865s	it's actually facing here so that's not
2866s	work yeah not going to work
2888s	this uh this city is basically locked
2890s	out
2891s	of everything what we can
2894s	do
2896s	expensive so if I pick up mining I can
2899s	then mine and then convert one of these
2901s	into a lumber Hut so expand the borders
2904s	so that way I can get even more safely
2906s	onto the water
2907s	mhm yeah sounds like a good
2912s	idea have stars we're going to train up
2915s	a couple more Defenders oh that was a
2918s	wrong place to move that oh well not the
2920s	end of the world rer Rider and
2929s	Defender so what we got over here is we
2932s	can now pressure this city
2950s	we have the production Advantage as long
2952s	as I can find a way to get safely onto
2954s	the water every single
2956s	turn back here and back here we should
2958s	be
2959s	fine so I actually may need to do that
2962s	expensive play
2968s	the nice thing is is it'll expand the
2969s	borders giving us three more tiles for
2971s	to improve the power of this Crypt yep
2974s	so it's beneficial in all cases last
2979s	option one two three four five six last
2982s	option is is I Rush towards shivalry
2985s	yeah kns might actually just be the
2988s	better option there
3011s	this should turn into a fully grown
3013s	Dragon at the end of this turn that's
3015s	the main thing that's going to make this
3018s	difficult but it's could be a two dragon
3020s	fight
3022s	to versus one what's up here it's just a
3026s	forest
3032s	we got
3034s	options kind want to get another dragon
3036s	egg over here I don't think it's worth
3038s	the investment because that's saying Hey
3040s	I want this thing in eight turns from
3042s	now when I could in three turns just get
3045s	Knights that would absolutely shred
3047s	everything here yeah they don't
3051s	have much to oppose oppose that nope
3058s	okay not a good
3062s	play I got a lot of units on the water
3065s	yeah I don't think they have enough for
3066s	actual Naval
3070s	superiority you know once your dragon is
3073s	fully grown
3074s	it's this like coing up there oh yeah it
3080s	will be devastating for them
3089s	okay they have a full grown dragon as
3100s	well summon
3109s	demon actually why why did they uh get
3113s	those poar
3115s	here and a warrior
3117s	is just you know like
3120s	a it did nothing for
3124s	them we're going to start chipping away
3125s	at that
3132s	dargon
3136s	Defender rammer to waste their
3144s	time one two three
3164s	this has to be an Archer this is a
3169s	rider so expensive play next next turn
3173s	oh yeah okay
3180s	oh I have a
3183s	monument
3186s	oh that's right I don't have a place to
3189s	put the
3190s	monument nope in this Northern City
3197s	no farm
3201s	farm population growth put you on the
3204s	water
3210s	that's the turn all right but now we
3213s	have our Dragon positioned in a place
3215s	with two rammers in the
3218s	way so be able to deal with this
3231s	bomber it's a good thing we built these
3233s	City walls
3244s	my apologies thank
3247s	you that's my
3251s	notification yeah so they they go to
3253s	rammers of their
3255s	own yeah I mean they have rammers of
3257s	their own but this rammer is not really
3259s	doing much we're literally going to kill
3261s	it with a Defender next
3264s	turn we're forcing them to unsee this
3266s	City every single turn
3273s	mm the real question is is how do we
3275s	deal with their dragon while keeping
3277s	ours safe in the
3279s	back so right now ours is in a position
3282s	where it'll inflict bad uh Splash
3291s	damage all
3293s	righty andon
3305s	that's okay I
3307s	guess you're facing this way so you'd go
3310s	to this
3319s	tile we're going to continue to harass
3323s	those units as much as we can get away
3325s	with
3333s	continue to Siege every single
3339s	turn
3342s	rammer uh this is going to be a
3348s	scout
3350s	oh I lost track of your dragon the the
3353s	the new dragon
3356s	in the north yeah with all this Darkness
3359s	you
3363s	know I lost
3366s	it oh yeah lots lot's been going on uh
3370s	where am I putting everybody we're just
3372s	going to put you yeah people are very
3374s	very uh you know interested in the
3377s	coming updates and and changes and uh I
3381s	I don't think I'm the right person to
3383s	answer all those questions and probably
3386s	you either
3389s	oh for the league stuff no the the
3393s	changes in the game so updates you know
3395s	reworks and yeah other yeah so right now
3399s	the biggest Focus from my understanding
3401s	is going to be
3403s	skins which for that that part makes
3405s	sense that's where if that's where their
3407s	uh funding is all going to be coming
3408s	from we'll just pass the turn if that's
3410s	where their funding is going to be
3410s	coming from then uh that's that's going
3413s	to be the biggest Focus that's just
3414s	unfortunately a natural cycle of
3417s	uh game development is going to be
3420s	something like that oh his dragon is
3424s	exposed is it going to be dead if you if
3427s	you hit it with your dragon no I don't
3429s	think it'll be dead but we can
3430s	potentially
3432s	trade he's trying to threaten my
3436s	dragon oh it's an interesting
3442s	attempt oo oh he need he needs to block
3447s	this
3448s	uh this demon because I actually can
3452s	kill his Dragon next turn he's trying to
3454s	hit this one
3457s	so I think we finally put off put enough
3459s	pressure on our
3462s	opponent oh are is he able to kill it if
3464s	he's able to kill it that's even better
3465s	on
3470s	him you know nice
3477s	yeah but they they just weakened this
3480s	you know second dragon very slightly
3483s	so I guess their city is going to be
3486s	locked next
3497s	turn we can Siege it with a uh
3507s	how much do I really want to kill BL
3512s	dragon as nice as it would be I think
3514s	I'd rather
3517s	make this aggressive
3523s	play we're just going to continue to
3525s	move forward with these Defenders
3539s	and they resign yeah good job
3543s	Toby wow they put up a really good fight
3546s	y mm yeah so let's let's see the replay
3550s	once you finish your
3553s	stuff I know that that you like you know
3556s	playing until the end and uh see what
3560s	they could have done
3561s	differently to win this with if it was
3564s	even possible for them if if it was even
3567s	possible yeah that's that's the first uh
3570s	bigger debate is was it possible for
3574s	them to make a
3577s	comeback um let's see at this point
3581s	we're actually we could train an Archer
3584s	here
3585s	Rider Defender
3590s	Rider oh I can't I never did that Mining
3593s	Play that's fine
3595s	no yeah
3597s	the big Mining Play
3600s	No there you go more dragon
3604s	eggs okay so let's see that very well
3607s	let's see the
3611s	replay okay I'll stop
3614s	music so we can hear you
3618s	better we'll do that for you but I also
3621s	like to save I always save all of my
3623s	replays so if anybody goes like w you
3625s	can't do this and I I just show them a
3627s	replay saying yeah you can
3631s	um see yeah we'll post all the all the
3635s	replays uh from from uh today stream in
3639s	the in the description so no worries if
3642s	you want to watch them without us you
3645s	know yapping
3647s	and uh you will be able
3651s	to alrighty so let's take a look at that
3658s	whenever especially whenever I uh end up
3661s	winning the games it's a lot easier to
3663s	analyze what went wrong by just looking
3665s	at only your opponent's uh actions
3670s	yep
3671s	so they go ahead and they make the poar
3674s	push excellent first play that allows
3676s	them to go in essentially three separate
3679s	directions the tricky part is is
3683s	immediately they meet up with me cuz
3686s	because apparently we're just close
3687s	enough
3694s	together I'm not upset with them moving
3696s	the poar with uh the unit over here
3699s	because that defends the city just in
3702s	case I wanted to be extremely aggressive
3703s	and make a really fast push it just
3706s	unfortunately delays them getting this
3707s	city back
3710s	here okay quite unfortunate Explorer
3713s	there yeah unfortunate Explorer but now
3715s	they don't have to send a unit back but
3717s	better
3720s	forward
3723s	um Honestly though a lot of this is
3725s	really just solid play
3727s	MH moving the union around on the
3730s	front now I'm very curious how they
3734s	uh uh how they got this city next to
3738s	you on the other side probably with with
3741s	the r
3747s	what about the this other Explorer would
3749s	you would you take it or um I mean again
3752s	it means I'm not wasting unit going that
3754s	way it's just the big unfortunate thing
3755s	is they don't have the important
3757s	information is what am I doing so all
3760s	they can do is just score count and
3762s	guesstimate on what I'm up
3765s	to I mean even a lighthouse like this
3767s	information is still better than nothing
3769s	it just it
3771s	hurts yeah so I guess they they go to
3773s	this raft they snuck it
3777s	oh yeah they yeah that explor does allow
3780s	them get this Village before I can it's
3783s	just with the way everything's going
3785s	here since they do see that this Lake's
3788s	pretty important they should have
3789s	started putting more units onto the
3791s	water here and try converting them into
3794s	either scouts or the much more expensive
3797s	bomber or even just rammers just to have
3800s	bodies there because poly tars on the
3803s	water are a lot better instead of
3805s	spending three stars for a Defender you
3807s	can spend two stars on a
3809s	poar yeah and on this small Lake in the
3812s	in the South the position for for a
3814s	bomber was was much much better right
3817s	because you only have access from one
3819s	city yeah they had a bomber right here
3823s	yeah so this this uh this would have
3827s	been you know kind of secure and uh
3830s	really hard for you to to break
3833s	through m
3836s	see at this point when they're getting
3837s	onto the water I've got multiple in and
3840s	this is a
3842s	necessary
3845s	Scout mostly to see what I'm doing so
3847s	they can better
3849s	respond
3855s	yep look at look at this beautiful
3858s	vision coverage
3860s	so explorers can be very nice notice
3863s	they have vision of the entire map the
3865s	downside is they've only got 20 Stars
3867s	per turn one two three four five cities
3870s	versus five on my
3873s	side I've got 24 Stars per turn because
3877s	I was even though my cities are a little
3879s	less
3879s	upgraded
3883s	yep I ended up going with a couple more
3886s	workshops so it's really understanding
3889s	when to explore is the important part
3891s	but I ain't going to lie I think that
3893s	those explorers were kind of all
3895s	necessary this one was necessary just so
3897s	that way they can secure the lighthouse
3900s	but they probably could have gotten away
3902s	with not exploring
3905s	there especially if I I would also
3908s	really consider you don't have to
3910s	explore if you know you're about to go
3912s	scouts because Scouts have that extra
3914s	Vision yes it does mean that you're not
3916s	getting that Vision as soon as
3918s	possible
3920s	um but you're able to improve your
3922s	economy
3924s	and if he had maybe plus one more star
3926s	per turn he could
3928s	have potentially done a little bit more
3931s	it's it's I'm not saying that they made
3933s	the wrong choice I actually think that
3934s	the choices they made were I I don't see
3937s	anything blatantly wrong in all this I
3939s	think it was just I applied too much
3941s	pressure with these archers and the
3942s	constant siing
3947s	in at this point these archers just
3950s	claimed the lake is
3952s	mine yeah very cheap way too
3956s	to claim this
3962s	lake so the last part of this battle
3964s	really comes down to can they defend and
3967s	push back and attack this city because
3969s	they need to secure this Lake and
3973s	threaten this city more than I am
3976s	applying pressure on this city is their
3979s	main
3980s	goal unfortunately with all these poar
3982s	on how they're set up and then
3984s	eventually the Riders
3986s	uh if my opponent had decided to swap
3989s	over to archery instead
3992s	and slowly push forward with archers
3995s	they may have stood a better
3998s	chance because Riders they're don't get
4001s	me wrong Riders are great Riders are
4003s	pretty much the meta unit for a reason
4006s	is their extreme Mobility but the
4008s	downside about using a Spam of riders is
4012s	well they take the damage and then they
4013s	have to go back and heal archers unless
4015s	they're another ranged
4018s	unit they they don't take damage meaning
4021s	they don't have to pause to heal they're
4023s	just slow and weak but they can pick
4025s	things off so yep
4030s	just while my opponent's spending a lot
4032s	of resources on a really expensive Navy
4035s	I've got cheap archers that have uh
4039s	really cheap
4041s	weapons at the really though I I really
4045s	don't see much
4047s	I think with the resources that they had
4050s	they just made a lot of the right calls
4051s	the only thing I could consider is maybe
4053s	they should have gone for a couple of
4055s	different Tech picks such as you know
4056s	again
4057s	archery uh or farming to finish
4060s	improving their economy
4063s	but so what about the the bomber play
4066s	was it was it right a right call or I
4069s	think putting the bomber
4072s	here was probably the best uh was still
4074s	the right play a safer tile would have
4077s	been this one back
4079s	here
4081s	um but our my opponent needed to be
4084s	getting rid of these archers and the
4086s	issue is Scouts don't trade well with
4088s	archers bombers don't trade well with
4090s	archers they needed
4093s	rammers
4095s	yep
4098s	uh so now's like they're doing
4100s	everything they can to fight for the C
4102s	control it's just the moment a unit gets
4105s	too too too close the Archer just dies
4108s	so if they spent a little less on the
4112s	Navy then I probably would have spent a
4115s	little less on my Navy but if the moment
4118s	I decided to go into onto the water uh
4122s	they would have lost the game because
4124s	this is more of a losing this is a
4127s	winning position for me rather
4130s	um getting onto the water first than my
4132s	opponent it's more of the opponent's
4134s	trying to Slow Me Down
4137s	maybe the last thing that could have
4139s	been done is expand the borders of their
4143s	Capital which it slows down getting
4145s	their dragon but that would have given
4147s	them one more tile of water access yeah
4150s	I thought about that so and lastly it
4153s	helps prevent this road from being able
4156s	to go straight to the capital
4159s	yep it's a whole bunch of wh ifs uh at
4163s	the end of the day we just played the
4164s	slow and steady game we do have time for
4167s	more so yep yeah let's go ahead and get
4170s	another another
4172s	game if we want to also spend the time
4176s	to uh answer some questions now's a
4180s	perfect
4181s	time yeah let let me
4190s	check yeah so first is asking so guys is
4194s	y a good uh good tribe I really like
4198s	them what's your
4200s	opinion I think yadak needs some tweaks
4204s	to their map
4205s	generation a little bit I uh in order to
4210s	make
4211s	them good I I I think the main thing
4213s	that's keeping yadak bad is they're a
4216s	little too map dependent if you're able
4219s	to Road them Rod their units forward and
4221s	find Two Cities great they're they're
4223s	fantastic they're one of the stronger
4224s	tribes
4226s	if they don't find any Villages they
4230s	die like in the first couple turns
4235s	so it's because of those three extra
4237s	Stars they spin on the road but I think
4239s	yadak is fun I think they're in a more
4240s	balanced State it's just I think map
4242s	generation needs uh needs some
4248s	tweaking what else
4253s	um uh also note that while I do try to
4257s	follow everything politopia to answer
4259s	questions and all that I am not one of
4261s	the devs I am just a uh streamer so yeah
4264s	none of none of us is is a Dev
4269s	so yeah so there is this question are
4272s	are you going to make a more modern
4274s	tribe yeah so sorry sorry sorry creeper
4278s	gamer well I am while I am not a
4280s	developer I actually know the answer to
4282s	this question the answer to that
4283s	question is at the current moment no
4286s	they have uh there have been answers
4288s	that no they're not there are no plans
4289s	to make a more modern
4291s	tribe yeah so the Ancients are are
4293s	coming soon as we
4297s	said uh so this will probably be the
4300s	next next tribe that uh is going to be
4305s	available but we don't don't don't have
4308s	any any specific date yet
4323s	okay it's
4325s	an uh it's a turn zero tribe
4330s	okay K
4336s	yeah how do you see your chances against
4339s	Kiku uh my chances are always high
4344s	yeah confidence
4348s	oops I
4350s	missed uh especially with a start like
4352s	this I actually do have a lot of
4355s	confidence so next turn we're going to
4357s	pick up forestry then capture but we've
4359s	got beautiful Crypts locations one right
4363s	here and one right here for plus eight
4365s	Stars per turn for minimal
4370s	investment so we're going to pick up the
4372s	forestry first Capture One
4377s	two and then we're going to want to
4379s	capture a third pass the T yeah you're
4383s	expanding like
4386s	crazy how are they score
4391s	wise uh how how hard are uh uh Kiko how
4394s	how how are they doing so score-wise
4398s	they're doing okay yeah they are
4401s	catching up yeah they've got a typical
4404s	Kiku store score mhm so I don't looks
4406s	like nothing out of the ordinary okay
4409s	spawned in the Far West that'd be more
4412s	interesting let's put some music on
4415s	maybe something oh no
4421s	Omi I
4431s	like so I'm losing the race to the uh
4434s	ruins unfortunately
4438s	Ely
4445s	yep that's
4452s	fine we're going to be moving
4457s	our so I'm not in a good place for uh
4462s	exploring
4464s	unfortunately cuz if I explore it's
4466s	going to go down mhm it's one
4471s	tile I'm so glad I did that
4474s	yeah um free hit yeah on this
4484s	Rider we're just going to train another
4486s	Warrior for
4489s	now
4494s	and should pass the
4500s	turn are you
4514s	trading so I have an option whether to
4516s	kill the warrior or to attack the ryer I
4519s	want Vision so we're going to be
4521s	attacking the rider okay move here and
4523s	then hit the rider it's not going to do
4525s	a lot damage but that's fine the main
4528s	goal is I don't want
4533s	uh D snowball with their
4539s	Riders oh we have the option for uh
4541s	archers again this is a prime real
4544s	estate for Archer
4546s	play yeah I can see
4549s	that o not what I wanted to see yeah
4553s	never mind I was hoping it wrap
4566s	around dang so if I still explore it's
4569s	still going to go
4571s	here
4573s	FR u i question um actually if you step
4577s	on this um Southern tile from this
4582s	uh CD next to Kiko
4586s	and um will the explorers to look for
4590s	the for the tile because you know there
4591s	will be those water tiles that are
4594s	closer to the city so will it look for
4597s	the for those tiles that are water or
4599s	will it go
4602s	north so it'll actually go north okay uh
4606s	cuz the closest cloud is three moves
4609s	away whereas over here it' be two moves
4611s	away okay so it doesn't it doesn't take
4614s	uh into consider
4615s	the the tiles that are on on water
4617s	unless you have uh fishing right yep
4621s	which I'm not going to get I don't want
4623s	my explore going that way yeah
4628s	sure fruit
4631s	fruit where I going to get that
4636s	Explorer o
4645s	that's a kind of rough spawn for
4655s	them oh I can't train a unit if I do
4666s	that
4668s	and pass the
4672s	turn yep I was afraid of that so we move
4675s	here capture and then
4684s	weeg based on score though I think we
4687s	currently have more production so if we
4689s	apply enough
4690s	pressure I can more than likely win with
4693s	riders
4695s	M while archers would be great at
4697s	defending these legs we're not worried
4699s	about the leges our opponent started
4703s	here it's not guaranteed but I'm pretty
4705s	certain this is the capital right here
4708s	more than likely because the capital
4710s	usually gets these one tile waters for
4712s	Kiku because yeah those like small pawns
4728s	yeah you have a new task oo
4737s	all righty let's overrun
4749s	them that one does not make a difference
4752s	yeah it's too
4755s	far that's a lot of roads I got to build
4758s	yeah first I need
4759s	roads yeah I know worth it
4773s	I think we could start overrunning our
4783s	opponent oo don't don't don't capture it
4787s	if you have vision of me don't capture
4789s	it oh
4791s	no all right the next best play is they
4793s	have to explore no
4797s	oh okay thank you free workshop for you
4802s	I'll take a free Workshop anytime Road
4808s	Road oh we have a new task
4812s	Road
4821s	resources um
4830s	B Bop we're just going to move you here
4834s	just cuz at this moment I'm just making
4836s	aggressive plays CU I can
4839s	mhm cuz it's more so about applying
4842s	pressure on my
4843s	opponent mountain is blocking you from
4846s	the
4853s	lighthouse and again the main goal I'm
4857s	going with is I want to apply pressure
4859s	on my opponent so the less even though
4861s	this is technically costing me a lot of
4863s	stars just by doing
4865s	this
4867s	um but now they can't pick up no uh now
4871s	they can't pick up
4873s	roads in order to save this
4880s	city the next idea
4886s	man there's more than likely nothing all
4888s	the way around here I don't even know if
4889s	I want to pick oh they
4893s	chopped oh those
4896s	monsters yeah I was gonna say destroy
4899s	them for being eny nature but uh never
4901s	mind I'm demons why do I care about
4905s	nature yeah I was going to say that it
4907s	wasn't it wasn't a good play too to
4909s	actually not not get any any any kind of
4911s	unit on
4913s	this yeah so they have enough to to un
4916s	Siege but still it's
4920s	like that's a
4935s	lot nothing that's more annoying than a
4939s	Defender
4942s	yeah here you go a random Defender have
4946s	fun uh we're actually just move this
4949s	demon around just to pick this up we're
4952s	g to keep this guy here no reason to
4955s	move him away at the current
4958s	moment I might pick up climbing but
4960s	there's not really any
4964s	mountains this City's right
4971s	here okay that's the game
4977s	oh no
4978s	sorry y oh no not the game yet I was
4981s	just looking at yes yeah um I'm you know
4984s	I'm looking at two screens and
4986s	uh the the stream on YouTube is not
4989s	synchronized with our studio so I I saw
4993s	the graphics you know
4995s	with just updating my live chat yeah my
4999s	bad
5005s	yeah but they are not not in a good
5010s	position no they are not in a good
5012s	position at
5014s	all yeah and their capital is also uh
5017s	cut off from
5019s	the from those other
5023s	um Lakes right so uh even you know
5028s	getting any kind
5030s	of um you know
5033s	sailings stuff
5037s	is not a good idea right
5042s	yep
5045s	um again I actually really just want to
5047s	apply a lot of pressure to our
5049s	opponent we're going to put the road
5052s	here just to get a
5055s	connection ah I shouldn't have done that
5057s	next turn we pick up uh
5060s	Farms we're going to leave this demon
5061s	down here and pass the turn mm
5069s	so the big idea with this is hopefully
5073s	we can just start doing Eternal sieges
5075s	with Defenders and force our opponent to
5077s	use up way too many resources because
5079s	this is a city they explored with so it
5082s	only provides plus two stars per turn so
5086s	it's not the end of the world
5091s	that okay
5095s	no no Eternal sies yet not
5100s	yet but what we can
5103s	do is go over
5107s	here Siege well not Siege but we're
5111s	going to get
5116s	that I said we're going to pick up farms
5118s	and I mean it let's go ahead and do that
5120s	grab ourselves this Farmland right here
5123s	extra resources grab grab this Farmland
5125s	right here extra
5130s	resources and um one away from archery
5133s	do we just pick up archery just for the
5135s	defensive
5136s	bonus yeah I was I was you know thinking
5140s	about that so it will be much harder for
5144s	them to to kill off
5147s	those Defenders and the Warriors so I
5150s	think it's
5153s	a keep you can I would I would
5157s	uh I would advise you to do it um yeah
5161s	so uh K 42 is
5165s	asking uh do you have uh some advice for
5168s	the lyrian tribe in gameplay so maybe if
5171s	you could share some uh some like main
5174s	tips for if if someone wants to start
5176s	playing Lon what advis them so ayon you
5181s	got to remember that they start off with
5183s	a very weak economy but knowing how to
5187s	properly grab forestry early I've tried
5189s	a whole bunch of other stuff unless the
5191s	map says no
5193s	forestry you need CR well you need
5195s	sanctuaries these sanctuaries this this
5198s	one is producing four stars a turn this
5200s	one's producing four stars a turn just
5202s	because of these forced layouts so even
5205s	though I don't have my Giant or in this
5208s	case Aon gets Dragon units dragons take
5211s	six turns before they're actually ready
5214s	to be
5217s	used so always knowing that even though
5221s	it'd be great to rush for Dragons It's
5225s	doesn't make a lot of sense to actually
5226s	get dragons super early and then
5230s	sacrifice all this potential
5233s	economy I'd rather slow play and get a
5237s	whole bunch of
5239s	advantages the other nice thing is you
5242s	can produce units faster than your
5243s	opponents thanks to being able to summon
5246s	poar or in this case summon
5250s	demons uh I want to kill
5257s	this bop move you on
5261s	back and we're good road you over here B
5265s	Bop thank you
5280s	archers um but lyion can have one of the
5285s	fastest economies they just they're
5287s	really really strong unlike turns one to
5289s	three then they're very weak from turns
5292s	four to like 10 and then depending on
5295s	the map they can have one of the
5296s	stronger
5297s	economies uh later on in the game we can
5301s	actually expand our borders here by
5304s	doing
5306s	this
5308s	farm and I want to get a border growth
5311s	so I get more potential on the water as
5314s	well as just more Dragon potential
5317s	you're going to find yourself especially
5318s	if you're using sanctuaries expanding
5320s	your borders a lot more notice these six
5322s	Tire tiles are being used just for my
5326s	sanctuaries so it's a lot of it really
5329s	comes to pre-planning and understanding
5332s	what units are useful at what time and
5334s	what are not
5337s	I like
5338s	ayon because they have very different
5341s	play style than pretty much all the
5343s	other
5345s	tribes where I get the option of
5348s	spamming these poar units and if you
5351s	wanted a tribe that by Starcraft terms
5355s	resembles the Zerg Rush the most it
5357s	would be a liion just because they have
5359s	the most unit producing potential
5369s	catapult they got catapults
5385s	okay I think my opponent's going to give
5387s	me all the time I want in the
5389s	world I can work with this
5397s	so there's a thing that a lot of my
5399s	uh viewers really like to see is a unit
5403s	I don't get to use
5406s	enough killer Monument is
5414s	complete oo there's their
5417s	Capital nice
5429s	we're going to move this riter here just
5431s	to prevent their Defender from moving
5434s	forward
5438s	but
5442s	clak yeah this is also a common theme on
5445s	uh Toby's
5450s	streams cloaking people for no reason
5455s	well I will actually give a reason on
5457s	this one they've got catapults which
5459s	yeah they can kill a cloak one one but
5460s	they're Walling up so I want to show as
5463s	as a quit zly main I want to show some
5467s	tech because we're we're apparently
5469s	going to be playing the slow game
5472s	M oh no another catapult
5477s	no so Walling this city was a was a good
5481s	play so it will delay you
5489s	but just delay I don't think it's
5493s	a
5495s	um it's a play for a
5511s	win oh that's p
5515s	oh
5518s	yeah this is probably going to be the
5520s	first game in a very long time cloaks
5522s	are going to be able to
5523s	work I know my view yeah because it's
5526s	also a very common thing that whenever
5529s	Toby gets
5530s	close he
5536s	loses yeah you even had this challenge
5538s	for for some time to to like win any
5542s	game with with cloes right I what I
5544s	remember from your live streams um sort
5547s	of it's just I there was when I was it
5550s	was when shapo came out they're all
5552s	about shroud and mystery and what better
5555s	unit describes all that than the cloak
5558s	no unit does so I wanted to yeah explain
5561s	what shapo is because may maybe some of
5563s	our viewers don't know oh yeah so shapo
5567s	is the
5569s	shinshi uh tribe
5572s	skin writ her back here
5578s	where uh they're all about Samurai but
5581s	they're supposed to be this secretive
5584s	tribe from the mountains that nobody has
5586s	heard
5587s	of um and nobody knows what they're
5590s	doing or any of their
5593s	actions and again all All About That
5596s	secrecy like okay well I I got to play
5600s	a I I have to make cloaks work so I've
5603s	been doing a challenge I have not been
5605s	able to get it
5606s	successful but with the they gave you
5609s	gave you this catapult to kill oh
5617s	yeah the city sees the cloak and is
5619s	going no no no
5625s	no oh you'll be oh nice V on see I'm so
5632s	sorry oh no
5642s	do I feel bad I
5648s	do
5658s	writers and we're going to continue to
5660s	be aggressive by just zipping forward
5662s	like this
5668s	okay a different question uh when would
5672s	you say afternoon ends and evening
5677s	starts uh can you repeat the
5680s	question when would you say afternoon
5683s	ends and evening
5688s	starts what's your take so good question
5700s	um I would probably say around the time
5704s	when the sun is starting to get to the
5705s	point where it's in your eyes while
5706s	driving
5707s	again all righty while we're also doing
5710s	a game of actions that H we'll go with
5712s	super
5714s	unit I was about to joke and say haha
5717s	Park of Fortune but
5719s	uh I think I've already tortured enough
5722s	people today oh we'll do a park of
5725s	Fortune here get more
5735s	stars yeah this is a really weird game
5738s	when Kiko doesn't actually get on
5740s	water I don't think I've seen anything
5743s	like like it ever or maybe just you know
5747s	like one or two games maybe on
5750s	drylands maybe on dry yeah yeah this
5754s	Honestly though Kiku is still a pretty
5755s	good tribe on Dr lands because of their
5757s	resource
5759s	distribution they're probably one of
5761s	more fun
5766s	tribes yeah they made
5769s	it that's okay that they un sieged
5776s	M oh no permanent
5779s	Defenders
5782s	yeah but it's not a win position I can
5785s	tell you that
5804s	no um is there any sneaky way I can get
5807s	around we're Siege with the dragon egg
5818s	yeah going be tricky to accomplish we're
5821s	g to go and Siege this city with the
5822s	swordsman because they let
5826s	me I'm going to get sailing this by the
5828s	way at this point the game's basically
5830s	over I'm kind of just doing whatever
5832s	just because I can get another
5835s	cloak oh I don't have enough for another
5838s	cloak we get a Defender here
5854s	oh a giant is coming is it a giant it's
5857s	a very late
5859s	giant no no no
5862s	no no
5864s	giant no it's the city of no no come on
5868s	a no no yeah it's the no no this is the
5871s	no no yeah you're right
5876s	sorry buddy no no giant hey giant they
5880s	did it I how they did it how' they do
5885s	it wait how oh maybe they were no how
5890s	they do
5893s	it I don't know I switched to to
5896s	comments so did they explore
5926s	it won't let me Siege with the
5929s	egg oh Shame Shame all right cloak
5935s	tactics
5940s	huh where' my unit
5945s	go
5946s	fascinating my unit disappeared it got
5949s	Houdini apparently I don't know what
5952s	happened it's just
5955s	gone
5961s	um well while we're in a position where
5965s	I could do literally anything I want
5966s	this game is there any units people want
5967s	to
5969s	see
5971s	yeah place your bets anything you would
5974s	like to
5975s	see any kind
5978s	of units maybe let's go um L nights
5982s	because we haven't seen them sure yeah I
5984s	can do
5987s	that I'll get it next turn M we have the
5992s	economy yep
5996s	do they still still have this catapult
5998s	in somewhere in this in this fog or did
6002s	you kill I unfort I killed the Catapult
6004s	already this Defender been creeping
6018s	forward the Eternal Siege is here
6025s	oh do I
6035s	have fun fact even though it looks like
6038s	I don't I have a prop I get to
6042s	use there's the eye of
6047s	God get T night
6053s	see I I can train a knight
6056s	here way back
6062s	here
6071s	and next turn I can almost finish
6073s	getting all the
6077s	attacks we can get another Knight
6087s	too bad I couldn't
6092s	uh all right quic tactics 101 how to
6095s	properly use
6097s	cloaks so when you're hitting a city
6100s	with cloaks you want to get the maximum
6103s	number of cloaks meaning you need units
6106s	not on said cities so move the units
6109s	away from all the tiles we now have 1 2
6112s	3 4 ooh we got to kill one more
6115s	two three four now we have five tiles
6120s	open so the cloak can go right over here
6122s	boom we get five more
6127s	daggers and otherwise if those if those
6129s	tiles are occupied by another unit they
6132s	daggers won't spawn right yep that's
6136s	correct okay we're also going to protect
6138s	our daggers on the water with
6142s	aquatis um we're going to BR Force this
6145s	how much do I
6155s	need
6160s	uh one
6163s	chain there's there's no way we're
6165s	getting it I'm going to throw everything
6166s	in because I
6170s	can yeah well Defenders are really tanky
6179s	two
6180s	chain huzzah do we do this oh cool B
6190s	Bop
6193s	um just SP
6196s	souran I I want to get a scout oh still
6199s	can't afford
6202s	it dang yeah math math is hard we'll
6205s	disband the cuz he disappointed me all
6207s	right pass the
6217s	turn um I'm running out of tiles it's
6220s	going to be tricky for me to uh do the
6223s	Eternal dagger
6225s	Siege I'll make it work
6240s	oh NOS I did the D goof all
6243s	right there we go
6246s	fantastic running out of space for
6249s	daggers okay bye-bye
6257s	giant can
6259s	on he's gone
6272s	there's not space for all this
6276s	stuff I want to uncover all the tiles so
6279s	we're doing that
6281s	first um we'll pretty much finish this
6283s	up in uh within the next
6288s	turn
6291s	meditation pass the turn
6304s	and offer them
6317s	peace there you go so that's how you get
6319s	a billion daggers daggers are still very
6321s	weak to Knights one night would clear
6323s	almost every single one of these out so
6325s	mhm even with their defense
6329s	bonuses joyful pixel is uh joyful pixie
6333s	is trying to let us finish the
6337s	game o some new mon
6350s	monuments no that's we didn't start the
6354s	fire all righty there you go so thank
6359s	you joyful
6363s	pixie that was a that was a tough
6366s	game
6368s	because we just look at the replay
6370s	mostly just to look at the map
6373s	mhm yeah but like quite early it was
6376s	obvious that uh they won't be able to do
6379s	much against you
6384s	midnight versus Ragu small
6391s	lakes Al righty
6393s	but if we're just going to take a look
6398s	at replay fog
6400s	off we're just
6402s	gonna we're just Zip It
6405s	Forward they don't have water potential
6408s	this this was not a this was not a nice
6410s	map for Kiku so even though
6414s	it really was just a countdown of how
6416s	long does it take before I finally win
6417s	unfortunately that was not a fun map for
6420s	Kiku on this one what could have been
6422s	done differently though because I don't
6424s	believe in no win
6426s	scenarios whenever they are aware
6430s	that replay fog
6434s	on so at this moment they're definitely
6437s	starting to be able to see that their
6439s	water potential is really rough by turn
6445s	10 yeah no water access actually yeah
6448s	again there's just there's no water
6449s	access so they're doing the right thing
6450s	and trying to defend all this up but
6453s	they need to expand their
6456s	borders get this city walled up to make
6458s	it harder for me to Siege maybe just by
6461s	time
6462s	but uh they need to get on the water so
6465s	the city here needs their borders
6469s	expanded um unfortunately there's no
6471s	quick and easy way to do that okay maybe
6474s	the capital
6475s	next no I'm I'm looking at this this is
6478s	just this is one of the toughest Maps
6480s	I've seen in a
6485s	while I think they probably did the
6487s	right thing though is train catapults
6489s	what they needed to do is get these
6490s	catapults moved to a better position to
6492s	just defend this permanently and then
6496s	spin the resources they needed to get
6498s	onto the
6499s	water mm so this also comes back down to
6503s	what I'm talking about when it comes to
6504s	unfair Maps like even though I will
6507s	always argue that now there's pretty
6509s	much always going to be a
6511s	way in this in this matchup with how
6514s	everything's going Kiku is not going to
6516s	win the land battle yeah even by going
6518s	Defenders all they're doing is buying
6520s	time which fortunately in my case the
6522s	moment that that cloak appeared buying
6524s	time is not what you want to be doing at
6526s	all you got to be aggressive uh and
6530s	unfortunately since I killed all their
6531s	Riders they no longer have the unit
6532s	that's needed in order to deal with
6534s	these
6534s	cloes so I'm not going to lie we just
6539s	say that that uh Riders were uh the the
6543s	right um Choice instead of like getting
6547s	the their own archers for yep no they
6550s	they definitely went with the right
6551s	choice with uh Riders it's just the
6554s	unfortunate bit of okay I'm actually
6557s	really curious how the heck did they
6559s	get this giant over here yeah because
6564s	like their City leveled up
6566s	once and then they disconnected
6578s	reconnected I just I'm really curious
6580s	how it
6583s	happened
6586s	yeah oh they dis oh okay it they must
6589s	have had an internet issue okay I see
6591s	okay
6593s	issue they the first option and then
6596s	they were able to get that level up all
6598s	righty but now that was just a rough map
6600s	for them yep all right um we're
6604s	currently only two hours in I can start
6607s	one more and this one would probably be
6609s	the last one yeah I think so uh we'll be
6612s	you know wrapping up after this last
6617s	game so if you want to play with Toby
6620s	this is the last moment for you
6623s	jump now notice I typically play Lakes I
6625s	find Lakes a lot more balanced um
6628s	fortunately that was just a really bad
6629s	map for my opponent but like even the
6631s	maps that look rough there's a there's
6633s	an Avenue out you have five hey it's
6636s	Larry
6639s	again they're the first person we played
6641s	against it's an liyan lawn
6645s	match here's also argument number two I
6648s	that I always make on why we should be
6649s	allowed to choose our own colors I know
6651s	my opponent is playing ayon because I'm
6653s	player two and my color is
6656s	different yeah I remember you brought
6658s	that up um during one of the your recent
6661s	um live
6674s	streams yeah
6676s	sotio says GG so he was he was playing
6681s	Kiko um he played well it's that map was
6684s	rough again I so he so he says felt like
6687s	a rough game for me uh what could have
6691s	uh could I have done better
6696s	though I mean I could take a closer look
6698s	at the
6699s	replay U because the first one I is
6702s	trying to figure out how to get you on
6703s	the water but there probably was a
6705s	different avenue other than just hey you
6707s	got you have to go
6709s	water so if you want uh send me a DM and
6713s	I'll take a closer look at the uh replay
6715s	after the
6717s	game yeah so if you're on on Discord Z
6721s	contact Toby and uh you can have more
6724s	more advice on on this game so there is
6726s	a quick advice from Sandra not play
6733s	Kiko I don't think that's quite the
6735s	advice that he's there looking
6737s	for
6741s	yeah yeah I think perfectly fine yeah DM
6749s	Toby I'm on pretty much all of the main
6751s	politopia discords you'll be able to
6753s	find me just t o BBY y That's My Name
6757s	for just about everything all right I'm
6759s	picking
6769s	up you hesitated why I was saying I'm
6774s	gonna pick up climbing for both of these
6777s	ruins and then I was hesitating thinking
6779s	about
6781s	it but no the correct play is still to
6783s	pick up climbing I've got two ruins I
6784s	could pick up now it gives me a
6786s	defensive bonus let's get my warrior
6788s	into the
6790s	action alrighty so this is going to be a
6794s	rough
6795s	map but we're going to be spinning the
6798s	next few turns building up Crips one
6801s	here for three extra Stars one here for
6804s	four extra stars and one here for
6805s	starting two extra Stars potential four
6808s	extra
6817s	Stars best thing we can hope for
6820s	is picking up
6824s	uh yeah our opponent's doing the right
6826s	thing and going
6828s	Riders all right what can it
6830s	be it is a schwarzman
6835s	and
6837s	resources that was a
6842s	great great two ruins for
6849s	you I'm just gonna yeah I probably
6852s	should have done other stuff but I'm
6853s	just gonna build these CPS right now
6855s	yeah full e Go full
6858s	Eco the other option is is I actually
6861s	instead of going Crips I go um maybe I
6863s	should have done that just to show a
6864s	different play style but build Lumber
6866s	Huts instead issue is is I don't really
6868s	have great Dragon potential in any of
6870s	these I need a farming for that
6884s	yeah we're gonna move the demon
6887s	here because I'd rather the demon take
6890s	the hits rather than the warrior
6895s	M
6896s	Bop do we Save Our
6901s	Stars I don't see why
6904s	not I don't I don't need any
6907s	units the only other unit is send
6909s	someone out here but I need I actually
6912s	need
6918s	economy yeah maybe um one thing you
6921s	could explain about the crypts so or the
6923s	sanctuaries um
6927s	um
6929s	okay fair enough yeah yeah that was a
6933s	fast one that that was a fast one all
6935s	right let's see if anything I mean I got
6937s	a very lucky swordsman let let's not lie
6940s	about that
6942s	yeah that was
6953s	uh yeah there we
6955s	go let's take a very quick look that
6958s	one's we're g to do this look with
6961s	shared fog on turn off autofocus please
6964s	let me re please please please don't
6968s	turn that on every single
6972s	time um so our opponent pretty much just
6975s	the only thing I would have done
6976s	differently on our opponent's uh part is
6978s	I would have trained this polyart back
6981s	here instead of this one to give us
6983s	Lighthouse potential mhm if this is the
6986s	kind of split that we're going
6989s	with but I think they just wanted one
6991s	polyart up here and the others you know
6994s	so it gets them a better
7003s	split Forestry
7016s	climbing was crazily enough was the
7019s	game-winning
7023s	play yeah those two wins were really
7026s	strong mhm so even though that our
7029s	opponent's already got
7033s	Riders
7035s	so we were about to get this city we had
7039s	a much better economy than our opponent
7041s	they had no idea what economy was
7043s	looking like but they're only at plus4
7045s	while we were at
7049s	a plus seven it was about to go up by a
7052s	lot by at least another uh I think this
7055s	is going to train one here I build those
7058s	on that turn or the previous turn no I
7060s	just did that on
7062s	this no I did on the previous turn so we
7064s	were actually about to start getting
7065s	plus one two and then this one I would
7069s	have trained one here three and then
7071s	this one I would train one here four
7072s	five
7074s	so we're about to get a free five stars
7075s	per turn and then this city which I can
7078s	pull the sanctuary on yeah it's a pretty
7081s	big Snowball Effect game that's
7084s	typically ayon Mir matches is who
7085s	snowballs faster but one last thing
7088s	replay
7089s	fog yeah we needed to get on the
7092s	water what I was planning on
7095s	doing
7097s	is we'll turn off shared
7099s	fog on my next turn since it was going
7102s	to just cost 10 I was going to pick up
7104s	Mining and then build a mine here which
7107s	then allows us to get an explore however
7110s	the closest fog tile is this one so it
7111s	go one two three either like to here or
7115s	to here get the lighthouse and then the
7117s	next one is going to be within four
7119s	tiles all the way over here so one two
7122s	three four because we have climbing
7124s	which would then
7126s	expose all of these so in the best case
7130s	1 2 3 4 5 6 Seven 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 so
7137s	if I was insanely lucky which I don't
7139s	think it would have happened we could
7140s	have found this Lighthouse as well yeah
7142s	with a single Explorer there but that
7144s	would have been the
7146s	goal um was there anything our opponent
7149s	could have done
7151s	differently so if we did I I did not
7155s	have organization neither did my
7157s	opponent so there's no way for us to
7158s	tell how much farming potential is on
7161s	this map
7163s	um but yeah but they had they had no
7166s	poar in the in the front so nope they
7168s	had no poar potential right over here so
7170s	I already had a swordsman here so even
7172s	if they defend we just reege and it's a
7174s	guaranteed
7175s	Siege uh and we already had our
7177s	Sanctuary set up so yeah they
7180s	didn't it was just for them it was a
7182s	rough game they I I would actually argue
7185s	they rushed writers a little too soon
7188s	again we were talking abouton having a
7190s	weak early game economy of they really
7192s	really strong turns one through three
7194s	for the extra strength and added
7196s	potential with their
7197s	poar uh but then four through 10 they're
7200s	generally weaker but it's because of
7203s	their economy once their sanctuaries are
7205s	set up then they're possibly stronger um
7209s	but instead of going with sanctuaries or
7211s	leveling up these cities with forestry
7213s	which in this case I think the forestry
7216s	play would have been better uh with
7219s	building Lumber Huts just for a safer
7221s	economy
7224s	uh
7226s	there's they they sacrificed all that
7228s	for two
7231s	Riders they could have had plus six or
7235s	plus eight Stars per turn even in this
7236s	stage on a much safer
7238s	scale so even though you want to rush
7242s	out Riders I would say they rushed it a
7244s	little too
7246s	soon yeah I agree uh we have one request
7250s	from the audience so Sandra Moreno would
7252s	like to play with the you but she says I
7255s	can't seem to be able to match up with
7257s	you because of my ELO different
7260s	difference
7263s	so could she like send you a request
7267s	friend request I don't think ELO
7269s	actually matters on the ladder does it
7270s	or does it finally I don't know I I
7273s	started thinking about that but because
7276s	to my know I matched up with with
7278s	players who have much higher ELO yeah so
7281s	I'll just go ahead let me bring it up um
7284s	I there's if you look up tolby again
7286s	it's the same one t o BBY there's going
7288s	to be two accounts one's for the phone
7290s	and uh one's going to be for the
7292s	computer um I'm
7294s	both but you want the one that's for the
7296s	computer so it's the one that's more the
7298s	more flatter uh monitor U one over there
7302s	so if you want to play Sandra go ahead
7305s	and send to 1600 that's a first I think
7308s	for this account the friend request and
7312s	you can he can play with them so we'll
7315s	wait a
7317s	bit and if Sandra is
7320s	there disallow friend
7324s	requests Now on my phone I used to have
7327s	about like 150 friends and I don't know
7329s	if you remember when it happened but
7331s	there was that one moment a few patches
7333s	ago where the more friends you had the
7336s	lagier your entire game got because it
7339s	was always trying to check for uh what
7341s	friends were online and not online okay
7345s	I was never that popular so
7347s	I that's because I was always sending
7349s	out friend requests and even now I'm
7350s	still just going hey friend request
7352s	friend request not not an issue for me I
7355s	I think I have like maximum like 50
7357s	maybe let's see on my phone that one's
7361s	still a lot lower that one's currently
7363s	only at 176
7366s	so but I have also not been playing on
7368s	the phone as much lately
7370s	MH okay so now requests from Sandra okay
7374s	so let's uh let's do one more one more
7376s	this time with more
7381s	feeling
7387s	um oh yeah and the even though it
7390s	doesn't really have much to do with
7391s	Theon the reason I primarily play Lakes
7394s	is I find it fair instead of having one
7396s	person on island with three one person
7398s	on an island with five Villages you at
7400s	least have some way of skting around the
7402s	map mhm and you don't have to go it's a
7406s	he's a one of mine from my yeah your
7409s	Nemesis he's a quz man we've played a
7412s	couple games against each other okay I I
7415s	thought it's your your score is much
7417s	much worse because usually when I when I
7419s	see you playing it's like yeah so he
7422s	kind of so we already know our our
7425s	opponent's actually playing as eorz the
7426s	quali
7428s	skin uh summon
7431s	demon and
7432s	and yeah so let's play katali music if
7438s	it's it's actually in my opinion still
7441s	the best uh music that's why I main is
7447s	quali
7450s	oh it's okay we'll get that
7455s	later yeah so I'm I'm surprised that
7457s	it's
7468s	that hurts my
7470s	soul what's that ah the the yeah the the
7474s	ruin ruin right there in the middle of
7476s	the ocean no way of getting to that this
7479s	Village right here having absolutely no
7480s	forests what a great
7485s	game
7488s	yeah Sanctuary potential however is
7491s	insane we've got a level five Sanctuary
7494s	here we'll go and place another
7496s	Sanctuary on this mountain right here
7499s	which you can do so pick up forestry
7501s	that's going to spend all eight of Our
7502s	Stars grab the city and start moving
7506s	down no we are not going to be picking
7509s	up climbing not like last
7514s	time guess the real question just though
7516s	is nah I I used to do this all the time
7520s	uh I would always wait until I pick up
7522s	organization then pick up this fruit
7524s	it's not worth it mhm waste so much time
7527s	by uh doing
7548s	that so I haven't found quitz yet so I'm
7552s	having a feeling they spawned in the
7553s	north which mean normally I say you got
7555s	to pick up the villages but I'm gonna
7558s	send this Warrior more towards the
7559s	center because the thing about quali is
7562s	I would call them the turtle tribe they
7564s	start off with Defenders they can't
7565s	proactively attack very well early on
7568s	they're they're slow but they're slow
7570s	and steady and they have excellent
7573s	resource
7574s	production uh with a whole bunch of
7576s	fruit a whole bunch of animals forests
7578s	so they got a big Nerf with the uh uh oh
7580s	they spawned in the east
7582s	this may have been misplay okay I I no
7586s	regrets all right there there is this
7589s	mountain so you're kind of protected yep
7593s	yeah looks like they spawned all the way
7594s	here in the East so you really need be
7596s	around and now that we know there in the
7598s	East there's a good chance this lake is
7600s	really important now
7602s	so we're going to be making an attempt
7604s	to get on the water somewhat soon the
7609s	downside of that qu Allard has any
7610s	advantage they have
7613s	Defenders yeah so stronger bols stronger
7616s	hamor stronger everything mhm the good
7619s	news for us
7621s	is uh we have poly tars it's just it's a
7626s	it's a more roundabout way of us being
7628s	able to get these stronger
7630s	units first thing we're going to do is
7632s	we're going to move this demon here to
7634s	uncover these two just in case this is
7636s	an explore so it's more likely to head
7639s	around this way and the goal is is we
7641s	want to go to the
7645s	east okay pops population's great as
7649s	well Workshop here because then we can
7652s	follow up with a lumber hot Lumber
7654s	hot
7657s	resources and pick up a crypt on this
7666s	tile pass the turn actually I could have
7669s	done that slightly cheaper that's a
7670s	misplay on my part I didn't need this
7672s	Lumber Hut I could have actually just
7674s	trained a demon here to uncover this
7676s	tile for the uh for the lighthouse yeah
7679s	for the lighthouse and that would have
7680s	cost one star less plus I then would
7681s	have had a unit and this one does
7684s	nothing with this uh Crypt because it's
7686s	not adjacent to it so that actually was
7690s	uh I'll just call it it right now that
7691s	that was a total
7697s	misplay it's not it's not a game losing
7699s	missplay but uh it's one of those very
7702s	minor ones that down the road will add
7705s	up
7706s	um so here's the thing whenever I'm
7709s	playing against uh you know multiplayer
7710s	games I would very much intentionally
7712s	which I'm still going to put it there uh
7714s	put a crypt here just so I get these
7716s	chicken uh poar because I love having
7719s	the mix of poly tars in the uh the Army
7722s	yeah but
7724s	um no oh no but uh whenever I go
7729s	to well before we capture we're going to
7732s	put a pause on that thought um archery
7735s	is really really strong against um quali
7739s	just because you know archers beat boats
7742s	but uh in this case I think we're better
7751s	off uh potentially just picking up
7753s	fishing
7754s	here do I need to pick up fishing
7762s	yeah we need fishing we need to start
7763s	getting on the
7765s	water um then we're going to go and
7766s	claim
7772s	this we're going to summon a demon here
7775s	for the whole intended purpose of next
7777s	turn we're going
7780s	to move this demon here and then do a
7783s	push so that
7785s	way uh Siege right over
7790s	there Crypt
7798s	I don't think there's a reason not to
7800s	we're going to go ahead and just summon
7801s	this n we need to save those Stars pass
7804s	the turn yeah you don't need it there's
7807s	like you're not getting a a dragon yeah
7812s	now
7813s	so we're really close but we're going to
7817s	need roads
7824s	one two three yeah we need roads in
7827s	order to get that so maybe I should have
7829s	gone the issue is is this lake is huge
7832s	notice there's no land here there's no
7833s	land here there's no land here no land
7835s	here there's land here but this lake is
7837s	Big it's the entire center of the map so
7841s	it's this one's important for us to pick
7844s	up it's so important I'm going to be
7846s	exploring with uh this Village
7849s	here just so that way we can uncover the
7851s	rest to these water tiles mhm yep so I
7854s	pour in
7856s	fish yep it's a fishing port fishing
7861s	port yeah small village
7864s	explore
7867s	dang woohoo ooh they got an explore
7875s	too okay so you're not getting this
7879s	Village
7882s	oh
7889s	no are you doing the push play
7893s	or
7896s	um not this
7898s	turn I think the real question is is do
7901s	I train I think the way that the poar
7903s	create on sanctuaries it's going to put
7906s	one on this tile first so there's no
7908s	reason for me to train a uh demon here
7914s	save my
7915s	stars and we're g to go ahead and pass
7918s	this
7932s	turn this one might be another Explorer
7935s	over here but that's
7940s	fine score-wise they're doing much
7943s	better than I
7945s	am so I could do a really fancy it's not
7948s	really going to be that good I could do
7949s	a fancy push play of pick up climbing
7952s	push put it here move up onto the
7953s	mountain get all this V Vision kill this
7955s	Warrior I could potentially do that but
7958s	I I don't think it's that kind of a
7961s	play so what is what is the
7966s	alternative we got to be somewhat
7968s	passive in this current instance so this
7970s	Demon's going to be moving back onto
7972s	this Forest here really to just keep an
7974s	eye on the village we're going to be
7975s	training up it did go there I was
7979s	wrong
7981s	um we're going to go ahead and collect
7983s	this
7985s	first
7987s	resources
7995s	Stars
7999s	Scouts goes here
8005s	yeah more than likely just pick up uh
8014s	Scouts not seeing any other better
8018s	Alternatives we're going to do that just
8019s	so that way oh news
8022s	uh demon
8029s	here demon here that way we start moving
8032s	it Forward M and that was misplay I
8036s	should have just trained this Warrior
8038s	here you really wanted this Lighthouse I
8041s	wanted the lighthouse it's
8047s	mine oo all right so the the correct
8050s	thing is happening here our opponent has
8052s	picked up uh
8054s	Riders which is actually a good counter
8056s	unit to Demons so despite you know as
8059s	I'm claiming the turtle tribe they oh
8061s	guess what they got Speedy
8069s	boys if I move it there I can
8073s	then push push dang trying to figure out
8078s	as as many fancy places I can that's not
8081s	necessary
8096s	I really want this Lighthouse oo I want
8099s	more than just the
8102s	lighthouse uh we have to train a safety
8104s	Warrior here just in case there's any
8106s	Bob Bop uh surprise plays M yeah he
8110s	might get roads oh yeah
8131s	this is
8136s	rough do you think he has one or two CDs
8139s	with with water
8141s	excess I think it's just this one uh
8145s	based off
8147s	timing still even just the one is good
8149s	enough to m become quite a
8153s	hindrance do I save for archery issue is
8156s	this is a big leg so this is not an
8157s	ideal situation for Archers especially
8159s	since my opponent has uh Riders already
8164s	mhm I think we just save our resources
8167s	for no we need
8169s	roads in the meantime we're going to go
8171s	ahead and train ourselves a rider here
8173s	because we need the we at this point I
8175s	can't be super
8179s	passive which is unfortunately what I'm
8181s	doing right now just being very
8191s	passive
8201s	yep does have 4 HP kill have 6 hp I
8205s	don't think so but I hope so okay I've
8208s	got time to do a calculation using the
8210s	polycal you can find that on nearly
8212s	every poopi and Discord server uh W
8215s	Scout 4 HP versus
8219s	a is that a warrior it is a warrior W
8222s	Scout 6
8224s	hp oh it leaves them both at one
8228s	oh yeah but leaving it at one's better
8231s	than
8240s	nothing why did they hit with a with a
8243s	Defender uh just to slowly weaken the uh
8247s	demon okay cuz the Demon's just trotting
8251s	all righty you guys ready for some fun
8253s	plays we're going to go ah aad and move
8255s	right on over to here we're going to
8257s	actually move that down to one HP Scout
8261s	Warrior but here's fun plays number one
8264s	first thing we're going to do is summon
8266s	a
8266s	demon uh hit this bring it on back I
8269s	missed bring it on back I missed then
8272s	we're going to go over here hit
8276s	that Su a demon I did it
8280s	wrong congratulations fun plays are done
8282s	go
8285s	home yeah they situation here is not a
8288s	not a good one that's fine we'll live
8292s	border
8293s	growth border growth
8296s	right no no not a border growth
8302s	no if your Crypt was in the in the north
8304s	and or
8306s	yeah Northwest yes
8309s	but you don't need it but look at this
8312s	pressure so we no longer need to worry
8314s	about this side of the map whereas our
8316s	opponent needs to invest a lot on the
8317s	side of the map if I did that slightly
8319s	differently I actually because I wanted
8321s	this demon to get pushed here and then
8322s	kill this
8323s	Rider um so what went wrong so I moved
8328s	this Rider back I should have left this
8330s	Rider on this tile
8332s	uhhuh cuz look at this momentum our
8334s	opponent's now getting because of this
8337s	yeah it's okay we're about to pick up
8339s	roads it's
8342s	fine yeah because this this Rider even
8345s	with without the road is dying is going
8347s	to die the 8
8349s	HP cuz your demon can climb oh yeah you
8354s	still have the ruin to claim so I would
8356s	I would go for mining maybe H I need
8360s	climbing first unfortunately ly
8362s	but yeah it's it's
8365s	tough the next thing we're probably just
8368s	going to end up doing do I just pick up
8370s	archery archers will help fight off
8372s	against all this a lot
8374s	better it's the cheaper solution I've
8376s	already won this I'm not winning
8379s	the Navy unfortunately I don't have
8382s	proper water
8386s	access real question is is how do I get
8387s	on the water and I think it's just
8389s	dragon egg so
8392s	1 2
8394s	3 gets us we leveled up
8410s	Capital all righty so how am I going to
8412s	do
8417s	this man I really may maybe I should
8420s	just pick up climbing that is has a lot
8421s	of
8423s	pressure I mean all he has to do is
8425s	train Defenders it's not it's not good
8427s	enough
8429s	pressure roads roads yeah Road
8437s	Road
8440s	Road super
8444s	unit Park of Fortune so I can get some
8447s	Stars resources captured
8458s	and lumber
8460s	hot
8467s	Workshop B Bop I'm just going to secure
8469s	the kill
8476s	here we're going to do something to
8478s	scare our opponent we're just going to
8479s	start moving
8482s	all of our units the opposite
8490s	direction going to keep the demon
8495s	there cuz it keeps it safe and then we
8498s	can just zip it onto the water here in a
8500s	moment pass the turn so we've got an
8504s	excellent not even like a good this is
8505s	an excellent economy 26 Stars per turn
8508s	the issue is
8509s	is don't
8511s	have the proper things to get onto the
8513s	water I
8514s	need
8519s	aquaculture then I need to be producing
8521s	two rammers a turn before my opponent is
8524s	able to just kill me
8528s	outright archers would also be really
8530s	really good
8532s	here mostly yeah because you have this
8535s	kind of peninsula with this mountain and
8537s	the tree so if you could place The
8540s	Archers there yeah he has to you know
8543s	come closer with with his boats to uh to
8547s	kill your boats so I guess archers is
8550s	especially if I uh a right over here
8554s	yeah so I think archers is the
8569s	answer B
8573s	it's a
8583s	warrior so before we capture what are we
8585s	picking up archery archers are the cheap
8588s	unit in order to deal with a situation
8590s	like this so that way they can start
8592s	picking off these units while I try to
8595s	get these poar onto the water as
8598s	rammers so that's our next goal cuz we
8601s	do have two tiles to get onto the water
8604s	M it's just they're not great
8626s	tiles archery
8634s	put this dragon egg safely here Archer
8638s	Archer pick this
8649s	up
8657s	wooo for
8666s	and a safety
8669s	Warrior safety Warrior to avoid any
8672s	really crazy B I don't see it but when
8675s	you're on a live game it's usually
8677s	better just to make a couple of plays
8678s	just for extra safety because I can't
8681s	tell you how many times I've lost the
8682s	game like oh my opponent can't do this
8684s	and then boom surise Rider and he hits
8686s	my unit and then Snipes the capital
8691s	rammer is
8692s	coming rammer
8696s	Mafia good thing we got this Archer here
8698s	in the
8702s	back yeah so he has to come closer and
8705s	it's you
8708s	know you'll be able
8711s	to to hit those those
8718s	boats so now as we're on turn 14 I
8721s	guarantee you we have the superior
8723s	economy have I built the park of Fortune
8725s	yet I did it's literally right next to
8727s	where I clicked it's kind of hard to see
8729s	don't get me wrong it looks great but
8731s	sometimes can be hard to
8732s	see it's Darkness you know the
8743s	darkness if you want to see this party
8746s	of Fortune you have to play
8748s	the the goodan or
8754s	yeah uh we're going to be doing an
8756s	explore on this city over here there's a
8758s	good chance it's going to get sieged a
8759s	lot I'd rather find this uh Monument
8761s	that'll give us the eye of God if we're
8762s	able to yep we do also
8767s	have sail not yeah we already have
8770s	fishing and sailing so we'll be able to
8773s	okay so he's he's trying they're he's
8776s	trying to uh Siege me in a way I can't
8779s	un Siege I mean I easily can we just
8781s	Rider to kill here and then they zip on
8788s	back this
8792s	uh a he's killed 10 of my units bragging
8795s	rights right
8797s	there I've only killed three what the
8802s	heck yeah he killed many of your raft so
8805s	this is the this is the yep all those
8808s	rafts that died yeah
8815s	H really should pick up climbing
8820s	here reason we're picking up
8826s	climbing no I don't want you picking
8828s	that up
8848s	the correct way to do this is to kill
8851s	with the rider we're just going to move
8853s	the
8855s	rider pretty
8858s	certain if I move here it goes here then
8861s	here I was wrong I wanted to uncover
8863s	this tile and keep my rider safe
8865s	but that did not happen that's in fact
8869s	how it did not happen
8874s	we're summon this
8875s	demon summon summon an
8878s	Archer yeah fish and fish for that
8881s	Explorer here we
8884s	go come on go get go get go get go get
8886s	go no no no no no no no no no yes wo
8892s	yes the eye of God
8897s	yeah and this is going to be for very
8900s	important play right here I have God
8902s	right
8903s	here we need to do a border growth
8906s	reason being we need more access to the
8908s	water this is our only city so yes we
8912s	are not able to get a
8917s	uh uh we're was a smart thing to do
8920s	we're not able to get a dragon as
8921s	quickly but in this case we just really
8923s	need that water access so we're playing
8925s	to the map not to uh the thingy that I
8928s	want don't get me wrong I'd like more
8929s	dragons but uh
8931s	uh also take note because of these
8933s	sanctuaries I've got so many cities
8936s	still at like level one and level two
8938s	we've got 30 Stars per turn whereas our
8940s	opponent's running
8943s	three
8945s	eight
8948s	12
8950s	15 18 stars a turn and we know there's
8953s	no City here
8955s	so got nearly double the
8958s	production we can a lot of resources at
8961s	this problem and we'll come out on top M
8965s	yeah I think you should uh you know make
8967s	some kind of offensive on
8969s	this exit uh
8973s	Town exit stage
8977s	right it looks
8981s	vulnerable because it's so yeah okay so
8984s	he's moving back
8987s	y again the power of archers
8993s	mhm this is the correct play from our
8995s	opponent
8996s	though allows them to build up a bigger
8999s	Force now they're get now they're
9000s	getting
9002s	archers again this is the cheaper option
9004s	on fighting for water control so I can't
9007s	really progress forward too too
9009s	much uh not until we have a much better
9013s	Navy
9024s	all
9027s	righty kind of want aquaculture
9033s	but if we get enough rammers we'll just
9036s	say I don't care about uh what Archer
9038s	army they
9040s	got this is
9046s	safe e dead so yes that is putting it in
9050s	range of the
9051s	Archer uh but 15 Health rammers do a
9054s	better job and if he wants to kill this
9056s	rammer he has to spend a ton of
9058s	resources making a lot more Scouts so
9060s	this is more of the aggressive play if
9062s	I'm forcing my opponent to spend
9064s	resources on something they don't want
9065s	to spend it
9070s	on I want to Road
9073s	forward
9078s	yeah yeah sorry my cat that
9082s	is ky
9084s	attack on
9087s	me
9091s	attack
9093s	uh we're going to start moving this
9094s	Dragon
9097s	forward when does it hatch I believe
9100s	next as soon as I click next turn okay
9113s	y so we forced them to train a Defender
9115s	here so we've only got 15 more stars he
9119s	can spin this turn which can be done
9123s	Scout and
9124s	Scout that's a lot of resources on
9126s	something they don't really
9136s	want again I'm going to restate that
9139s	this is is a tough Lake and archers are
9142s	not the perfect answer to this cuz only
9146s	with the range of two that means both of
9148s	us can build up forces on the other side
9150s	before we're ready to make a push
9154s	mhm ah look at
9157s	that beautiful rammer
9166s	playing um so I think at this point
9175s	that's not a kill
9177s	yet now it is but we don't want to put
9180s	it
9182s	here uh wrong
9186s	order do I want to just kill out the
9188s	Archer
9196s	outright moving this Archer back for
9198s	safety
9211s	tell you what we're going to go
9214s	organization
9217s	fruit
9219s	fruit
9221s	fruit
9224s	resources fruit
9228s	fruit and workshop
9234s	we can build a road here and make that
9236s	connection lomber Hots even more
9241s	resources
9243s	um tell you what we can move you over
9245s	there get
9250s	that
9254s	Archer Archer
9261s	misplay I
9263s	mean uh everything is
9266s	fine right over here
9269s	B killer Monument is
9275s	complete man if only I could give myself
9277s	like one more
9279s	star it's
9282s	fine this is fine it's fine it's
9286s	fine secures that kill Defender moves
9289s	forward
9291s	and then we start pinging Defenders with
9293s	archers real chicky thing is what do we
9295s	do for the water here all right so I I
9299s	get that actually is the real question
9300s	is what is our new
9304s	answer tell
9309s	me I already have a crypt on this
9313s	city so we can attempt to overwhelm our
9316s	opponent uh on with the Navy and just
9320s	throw a whole bunch of units onto the
9321s	water that's expensive but we have the
9323s	economy to uh do
9326s	that I think we actually just play the
9329s	waiting game with the current
9333s	moment yep and they secure that
9338s	kill yeah but they lose both of those
9341s	rammers uh so far only one unless I'm
9344s	seeing something
9346s	different I have four archers and a
9348s	dragon
9350s	yeah plus a scout
9354s	yeah the issue is is the math isn't
9356s	working out in my head I do have a very
9358s	expensive Road play I could do but
9361s	actually I don't that's on a
9370s	mountain what's in the ruins it's going
9372s	to be oo strategy that's actually really
9376s	good yeah useful
9389s	yep they both die like I said
9392s	Woo man I wasn't even worried a
9398s	bit oh I meant to summon this one we'll
9400s	do it anyways ah dang didn't mean to
9403s	push it uh summon demon all right so one
9407s	can go here
9418s	easy
9420s	peasy I think your position right now is
9423s	is really strong oh
9426s	yeah we're just going to do
9429s	this what still hasn't
9434s	moved you sacrific so much to to you
9438s	know fight your units
9440s	now he's left with
9443s	nothing oh
9445s	yeah so he can spend a lot more
9447s	resources to prevent me from getting the
9448s	ruins that's
9450s	fine but um when I was saying we here
9454s	y'all are about to see the exact reason
9455s	why I was saying we need uh we need to
9457s	expand the borders I already spent the
9460s	resources last turn just to make the
9461s	math EES in my head because uh I've been
9464s	playing games kind of all
9466s	day um what do you grow ooh it's a fire
9470s	dragon at the end of the next turn so
9472s	we've got our wi
9487s	condition I could have summoned another
9490s	demon oh I could have summoned a demon
9492s	here instead
9494s	oo there there there there there I do
9498s	need roads that's
9503s	fine yeah so next turn potentially you
9506s	can have four rammers and then
9508s	unfortunately I did oh I do have rammers
9511s	yes yeah we're gonna do
9519s	that right now our opponent has a lot of
9521s	Scouts which is good and archers that's
9523s	also good but I want to apply pressure
9525s	in a way to uh close out the game
9530s	in my opponent's position I'm gonna be
9533s	honest I don't know what I would do the
9535s	first thing is you got to expand these
9536s	borders and give yourself more water
9538s	access
9540s	M
9542s	um cuz notice he did a good job at
9545s	locking us up land over the land over
9548s	here where we can't really do too much
9550s	we're go
9553s	just uh I'm just going to secure this
9556s	kill all righty
9561s	Road here we
9566s	go to even five if you if you
9571s	want
9573s	yeah that looks very
9578s	scary we're g to move the dragon back
9580s	just to protect
9586s	it yeah that's scary
9592s	I'm going to apply the extra
9602s	pressure actually start moving this
9603s	Archer around I I haven't even
9605s	considered that bar yet speak have
9607s	moving the Archer around let's moving
9608s	SPID around
9625s	this would have been a very different
9626s	game if my opponent was able to secure
9627s	both of these cities mhm yeah sure it's
9631s	just uhon the alyon speed it's sort of
9635s	the same thing like omagi and yadak
9638s	you're sacrificing some early game
9639s	economy for some early
9643s	expansion simman is the exception but we
9646s	already know that they're just a bugging
9647s	game so
9651s	but essentially if you're able to just
9653s	rush forward you have a weaker early
9655s	game economy and if you lose that race
9657s	you're probably losing the entire game
9659s	but if you win the race you're in a
9661s	stronger position but you haven't won
9662s	everything
9664s	yet sun is starting to uh get down I may
9667s	have to change some
9673s	blinds ah my phone fell asleep that was
9676s	supposed to be my my chat ah and then I
9678s	closed it
9683s	not playing in full screen oh sorry
9685s	yappi um oh so we are playing in full
9688s	screen um it's we're
9692s	currently a live stream with gate to
9696s	show off the ayrion midnight skin as a
9701s	promotional so that way you able to see
9703s	even more of
9705s	it yeah I may be consider buying them
9710s	it's a really cool skin yeah one the
9713s	best actually it's a it's a it's a dual
9716s	between the one of the best uh between
9720s	uh one of the worst I I really hate
9722s	those you know bird
9727s	people yeah sorry for you as a Kali
9733s	main I think the the um you know the
9738s	looks of Kali original one this is
9740s	pretty pretty neat but the skin is like
9744s	kind of
9753s	weird l hole
9783s	um are you getting more rammers or
9785s	Scouts with those archers um right now
9789s	I'm overwhelming with rammers cuz poar
9791s	as RAM well demons as poar uh demons as
9794s	poar demons as rammers they can land and
9797s	then cause pressure that way I
9799s	considered using using the defender one
9800s	to land instead
9803s	to convert those into Scouts next turn
9807s	Lumber
9809s	hot super
9821s	unit that's not something they want to
9824s	see um next is going to be Road
9830s	Road give us that
9836s	Monument math is hard
9844s	uh I think we're just passed the turn
9847s	yeah but I guess you don't have to worry
9848s	about it that much at that point at this
9851s	point like even though archers yes these
9853s	archers are going to mess up these
9855s	rammers but the purpose is not
9857s	necessarily for these rammers to secure
9859s	Naval
9861s	superiority uh they're to protect this
9864s	dragon and thing number two is they're
9866s	supposed to apply pressure and force my
9868s	opponent spinning resources elsewhere
9870s	which is not killing this dragon and
9874s	making it a lot harder for them to
9875s	defend this city and lastly if you
9878s	notice I'm roding because we're also
9880s	going to be roding around to be
9882s	attacking
9884s	waha uh here in the north mm
9893s	yeah he should be more careful he has
9894s	the vision
9900s	there CU every again it's just like um I
9904s	don't necessarily need to pick up
9906s	bombers cuz I already got a free bomber
9908s	it's right here it has 20
9909s	Health Plus it can move and
9917s	attack noise training unit
9924s	don't do it don't train a unit
9928s	there oh no so the reason why they
9932s	shouldn't have trained a unit
9934s	there
9936s	is H we're going to have an in range of
9938s	these two archers that's fine but
9958s	all
9970s	righty yeah
9976s	beautiful and no Giants from him right
9979s	right that's
9985s	strange it's turn
9988s	20 guys we're forcing our opponents to
9990s	spend all their resources on a military
9993s	instead of improving their
10000s	economy man I wanted to grab farming
10002s	here but I guess not this
10004s	turn um oh but I can Road here so we
10009s	have Gates of
10010s	power Grand Bazaar Grand
10014s	Bazaar I've actually good killer yeah
10018s	I've got actually two monuments
10022s	yep I'm actually going to hold on to
10024s	them
10026s	Okay I lied we're going to go ahead and
10028s	put the here okay quick change of mind
10032s	resources cuz just cuz I want another
10035s	defender on this tile
10037s	M rer here
10047s	that should be
10049s	everything who hasn't moved yet you
10052s	haven't moved
10054s	yet all right well you're going to start
10056s	moving around the
10060s	outside going to move over here pass
10064s	turn all right so here's the Dilemma
10066s	we're giving our opponent we're sieging
10068s	this this is going to require two units
10069s	to kill they do have an Archer so they
10072s	can do that but then they're going have
10074s	to use one of these just to un Siege
10075s	right there they're going to have to use
10077s	multiple units here to un Siege here
10080s	means they don't have nearly as much
10082s	damage potential to deal with these
10083s	rammers here or this
10086s	Dragon okay there you go went for un
10088s	Siege they're going for which is the
10090s	correct play they're doing the UN Siege
10092s	the issue is is I've still got this
10095s	massive naval military uh Fleet
10099s	ready to
10102s	advance now these Defenders I'm GNA turn
10105s	into Scouts and every unit I want on
10107s	land I'm going to convert into
10113s	rammers actually I might convert one of
10116s	these rafts into a rammer just for the
10118s	purpose of sieging this
10120s	city but like this one and this one here
10123s	I want them to attack kill an Archer and
10125s	then land so that way they're able to
10127s	then start applying pressure on
10130s	land it's expensive but we have the
10133s	economy to do
10140s	it o good
10152s	play we're going to move you over to
10154s	here I'm going to make a very aggressive
10157s	play and and rammer specifically so that
10162s	one
10168s	lands yeah that's that's the game yeah
10172s	that's the game now this uh this
10175s	opponent that uh we're playing against
10178s	they typically like to send a peace
10180s	treaty and then surrender uh pass turn
10182s	and
10184s	then so they may do that y
10192s	Road just to make it one pile
10195s	further
10199s	Port fruit
10210s	fruit we're going to do a border
10214s	growth I don't know why I haven't built
10216s	scripts here here yet but we're going to
10218s	go ahead and take care of that
10229s	there we go out of mon
10238s	eyes I could attempt to Siege his
10240s	Capital with the dragon
10243s	egg yeah you way we do that is we put on
10246s	the water you did not manage
10250s	but they're going to resign first before
10252s	that happens yeah I think
10258s	so that's no
10262s	Trey I guess they are upset yeah that
10265s	was that was a rough game for them they
10267s	did not have nearly enough water access
10270s	and probably need it but I I mean I only
10273s	had one City's
10276s	worth so I really just want to see if
10278s	they had the potential to mhm get more
10282s	let's look at the
10284s	replay all right final
10288s	replay it's
10291s	midnight
10293s	versus
10295s	EOS small
10298s	lakes this one is versus
10301s	a all right let's take a look see at it
10303s	shall we yep so again we're going to do
10306s	this from their perspective
10311s	uh replay fog on autofocus Shar off I
10314s	want it only from Ax
10320s	view so not a lot of resources here
10323s	their capital is actually pretty
10325s	good when it comes to resources they
10328s	probably needed to have picked up
10330s	climbing to
10331s	mining because there's an really good
10334s	chance that these are all mines quelli
10337s	has a high mine chance
10339s	grab that explore very much
10342s	necessary okay
10347s	wow
10353s	excellent resources fix the economy it's
10357s	already okay so the interesting thing is
10359s	is they're already on the
10364s	water I think I would have gone with uh
10367s	resources uh as our opponent here
10369s	it's I mean this one's a coin flip but
10372s	since he's already got a unit on the
10373s	water he's just one away from sailing
10375s	and this early on in the game he could
10376s	definitely get away with
10379s	uh using a sailboat but this play does
10383s	allow him to get this city first which
10385s	is which is actually very important for
10387s	this
10389s	matchup and but wasn't kind of pivotal
10392s	um so like for a long time there was
10395s	this just this Defender sitting there
10398s	not doing nothing
10400s	mhm yeah but it did prevent the more
10403s	important thing is it prevented me from
10405s	getting that
10407s	city uh
10409s	sometimes um Maps or decisions can be
10412s	just yes you didn't gain the advantage
10414s	but the main thing was is you prevented
10416s	your opponent from Gaining that and
10418s	taking the
10420s	advantage and all this is just honestly
10422s	good Naval battles from our opponent
10432s	oh he tried getting the eye of God he
10434s	almost had it that was actually a good
10436s	call I would have done the same that was
10438s	just un close
10441s	yeah
10444s	um so then we're putting up this really
10446s	aggressive front so what do you do in
10449s	this
10450s	instance um what I would be doing is
10452s	training writers here in the back to
10455s	help support this front line because
10457s	honestly he's got all the Texs he really
10459s	needs he just needs to prevent me from
10460s	getting this city and that should be his
10462s	goal while he maintains proper Naval
10464s	superiority the goal should not be
10467s	capture this city but to prevent me from
10469s	getting
10470s	it uh until he can be in a better
10472s	position because he can see I'm getting
10473s	this one so these two cities should be
10476s	pumping out units just to fight over
10478s	here while these three cities are trying
10481s	to get units onto the
10483s	water in the meantime try to find a
10486s	cheaper way to
10491s	train okay so he does trainer Ryder back
10495s	there and the tricky thing is is it's
10498s	going to take three hits in order to
10500s	kill off one of these
10502s	demons it's really needed to have been a
10504s	riter for bouncing a little better but I
10508s	think a war n needed to been a
10511s	rider this point he's got the naval
10516s	superiority and now I have the city
10519s	so that should have been a uh rer
10523s	instead so I think that's the pivotal
10525s	point that turns the entire game because
10528s	now I just have a production
10530s	Advantage so I can apply pressure here
10532s	even though it's on a pretty narrow uh
10535s	choke point it is a 2 by
10537s	two this is a good attempt at a Siege
10540s	but there's just a lot here I already
10542s	have roads yeah you had enough to to un
10545s	Siege easily and he lost all those units
10549s	not even killing I think any of yours
10555s	yeah so at this point the real question
10557s	is is why no Giants yet what are we
10561s	missing needs forestry needs a couple
10564s	turns of
10567s	that so what he should be doing in this
10569s	instance is fall back with the units
10572s	allow them to heal up so he can get
10574s	forestry and level up and try to get
10575s	some Giants rolling
10579s	got archery instead
10581s	which it's not a terrible play it allows
10583s	him to defend and by
10585s	time but I think a giant would have
10587s	bought time a little
10590s	better because and I I was saying this
10592s	since the start this is a big lake
10595s	archers are better on narrow water
10598s	because if you're using archers on a
10599s	massive ocean you're just G to get uh
10601s	they're just going to bring bombers and
10602s	you're out of luck yeah but for the
10603s	record The Archers also saved you
10606s	because not for them would have been a
10609s	totally different game oh yeah it
10611s	prevented him from overrunning me and it
10614s	The Archers bought me time however in
10616s	the this instance there's a difference
10618s	between buying myself time because I
10620s	have the production Advantage versus my
10622s	opponent buying them time is he needs to
10625s	find a way to be aggressive and a giant
10628s	would help push that with the Juggernaut
10631s	he's able to get instant uh value for a
10635s	you get a monument that allows you to
10636s	then maybe expand the borders of this
10639s	city over here get even more water
10641s	access
10645s	mhm um but not going to lie like without
10648s	forestry uh yeah he's not getting enough
10650s	resources can can you move a few turns
10654s	forward so we could see how many how
10656s	much metal does he have in those
10659s	mountains um if we switch to
10662s	Auto shared fog we'll be able to see
10666s	that look so here plenty yeah
10669s	look at that metal okay
10673s	yeah should have been meddling with
10675s	those mountains but this was a
10679s	misplay I mean the tricky thing is it's
10681s	it's a huge investment for them to go
10683s	climbing there's not a massive
10686s	incentive uh with this map setup
10688s	unfortunately so I'm not saying it's
10691s	really the wrong play but I think they
10692s	should have uh my opponent should have
10694s	at least gone forestry to get Giants and
10697s	then pivot into archers
10699s	uh since he already had such a large uh
10704s	Navy but yeah
10710s	that's forgot I did that already but uh
10714s	yeah so that is uh
10717s	ayon using their well in this case
10720s	midnight using the Crips in order to
10724s	attract a whole bunch of graves
10725s	summoning demons and getting a massive
10728s	unit Advantage by constantly summoning
10731s	well demons here and
10733s	there I like to summon the poar and
10735s	demons as part of my strategy but uh
10738s	that also does hurt the economy so so if
10741s	you were to choose midnight or the
10743s	regular
10745s	liian honestly for me it's a tough
10748s	choice uh well I love the demons on how
10752s	they look especially again especially
10754s	when uh playing as orange uh
10759s	um oh I can't control it I was about to
10761s	say let me Force an orange game but I
10762s	really can't yes I can hold on
10767s	it's
10775s	um it's not that way forget how to do it
10779s	it's
10783s	shift Alt
10788s	oh man how's the uh Easter egg for
10791s	changing
10792s	the uh skins I thought it was shift
10795s	right no
10796s	idea I've never done
10804s	it yeah I every single time I do this I
10807s	always have to look it
10810s	up politopia color Easter egg PC so Gody
10817s	says it's old it's alt so it should be
10820s	alt and then
10826s	click should be should be click
10838s	right maybe they you removed it or or
10841s	what oh no it's it's still there I just
10843s	did it the other day um f tribes on
10845s	Steam hold down the ALT key click the
10847s	first tribes icon and click the second
10853s	Tri uh let's see the Aesthetics of the
10856s	first the game play of the
10861s	second there we go this ought to do
10876s	it so let me just summon one really fast
10879s	okay just look at that well we'll pass
10882s	the
10887s	turn looks like charcoal it's it's it's
10890s	so fitting with the theme it should be
10891s	an
10893s	orange I'm just G to keep finding other
10895s	little ways to say please allow me to
10897s	have uh choose my uh yeah color change
