| 0s | hi everyone welcome to the channel today |
|---|---|
| 2s | we're going to show you a clash between |
| 4s | two kikus you're going to see some |
| 6s | excellent play where you think the |
| 9s | fundamentals that it takes to win aren't |
| 11s | necessarily there and some of the things |
| 13s | that you may not expect are what it ends |
| 16s | up ends up winning it so let's get |
| 19s | started I'm JD and this is Joy I we're |
| 26s | going to start out here with the launch |
| 29s | of the green Kiku he's starting with a |
| 32s | in a bad position I think without direct |
| 35s | Water Act he does have quite a few |
| 37s | animals here so that does help him out |
| 41s | yeah hello and um yeah I will agree with |
| 45s | that uh blue one we see two uh POS pot |
| 50s | possibilities |
| 51s | outside while uh green has only in the |
| 55s | inside two water tiles so yes a bit in |
| 60s | favor for blue right yeah yep I |
| 74s | agree yeah yeah classic opening three |
| 79s | Warriors the third one to the |
| 82s | lighthouse yep and he's got the he's got |
| 86s | his second village uh Second City |
| 89s | already in sight in the third third one |
| 91s | in in sight for the green blue uh is |
| 96s | about to land on one let's see how how |
| 98s | it goes from there but the green is off |
| 100s | to a great start there |
| 104s | true yeah also a blue one with |
| 107s | Lighthouse for |
| 109s | warrior taking |
| 116s | stars and also both uh second and third |
| 119s | City |
| 120s | uh yeah on the third tile from Capital |
| 124s | so kind of uh Fair yeah blue does have a |
| 129s | nice nice bit of resources here with all |
| 132s | the all the animals um and because he |
| 136s | starts with fishing he's still got he's |
| 139s | got a level up here with some water um |
| 143s | green on the other hand no more animals |
| 146s | anywhere near his next two |
| 148s | Villages yeah true |
| 150s | it's going to require some require some |
| 155s | upgrades yeah and only one port yeah |
| 159s | versus three |
| 163s | PS and blue one takes an Explorer yeah |
| 167s | you get some pretty good visibility this |
| 169s | was kind of deceptive to me I I was |
| 171s | expecting that to be an external |
| 173s | external water access but it was just a |
| 176s | pond next to him |
| 178s | yeah but he did get a good Explorer |
| 181s | getting those getting those two ruins |
| 183s | and that Village but I but I don't |
| 188s | believe he uh yeah he did not get |
| 193s | visibility |
| 195s | of the |
| 197s | uh of Kiku here |
| 201s | yeah at the end of it let's see again |
| 204s | yeah |
| 210s | yeah |
| 212s | true so he only knows that he only |
| 216s | knows yeah |
| 219s | yeah yeah Green Green's almost got his |
| 224s | first first |
| 226s | giant yeah yeah with |
| 229s | foresty |
| 232s | yeah but to be fair and true he hav |
| 236s | other possibilities you know like okay |
| 239s | organization do doesn't make sense at |
| 241s | all in his |
| 247s | position now giant a giant he takes no |
| 252s | Explorer there yeah that that I was kind |
| 256s | of surprised about um I would I would |
| 258s | definitely want some visibility knowing |
| 261s | that it sure appears that I'm on |
| 264s | the on the |
| 266s | coast yeah |
| 272s | yeah but now they are kind of |
| 275s | equal with the with the tag attacks you |
| 278s | know so both hunting forestry green goes |
| 283s | into into water |
| 285s | now and and greens Green got the port |
| 288s | and they just got sailing out of that |
| 290s | ruin so that's going to help to get |
| 292s | visibility a lot faster and he's he's |
| 294s | able to see those those Stars so |
| 298s | starfish |
| 300s | now he takes |
| 302s | explore yeah just to know if he's in the |
| 305s | corner blue Y and he got this |
| 309s | blue and green got that visibility blue |
| 313s | got the visibility of green when he |
| 314s | moved up to the his last move so now |
| 318s | they know know where each other are and |
| 321s | they know there's a a river |
| 324s | maybe a good a good uh map for roads or |
| 329s | Bridges right making Bridges and |
| 332s | surprising the other one yep yeah that |
| 337s | that is a good |
| 340s | possibility that's a nice nice amount of |
| 343s | fish |
| 347s | fish and another Explorer so get yeah he |
| 352s | sees the giant it's go to got to make |
| 355s | him Wonder but he doesn't he doesn't see |
| 357s | any port access yet for him but he he |
| 360s | knows it's not going to be good |
| 364s | so green already with his scod y Ro |
| 370s | behind yep blue got his last time at |
| 374s | this at the same time let me see if I |
| 376s | can zoom a little bit here and got a got |
| 379s | a Siege |
| 381s | already |
| 384s | true I got but he has some awesome |
| 387s | Sawmill spots Sawmill spots uh |
| 393s | huts and this is live so this is really |
| 397s | quick Thinking by Blue and and I'm sure |
| 399s | he was evaluating as green was taking |
| 401s | his turns that's typically what you have |
| 404s | to |
| 404s | do I think I wonder if he yeah you need |
| 408s | to take an Explorer here to get a better |
| 410s | view of the rest |
| 411s | of what's happening with blue so now he |
| 414s | knows that there's another giant out |
| 416s | there yeah |
| 421s | no you no Advantage anymore for GRE y |
| 426s | so another giant another giant for blue |
| 430s | we have three on turn 10 yeah that's |
| 434s | crazy |
| 437s | yeah so next Explorer because green |
| 440s | knows okay that's the end of the the |
| 443s | land tiles and he's got visibility of |
| 446s | his cap that yeah |
| 451s | and blue has visibility at Green C also |
| 453s | but not near as much visibility of the |
| 460s | map yeah that bomber holy |
| 466s | cow that's a |
| 470s | massive three Giants had now H green and |
| 474s | then yeah and and it doesn't stop look |
| 478s | the for |
| 482s | that's so crazy yeah and he has any |
| 489s | other yeah um strong units you know like |
| 493s | uh um archers or cuts to to to attack |
| 497s | those right so he has a an expensive de |
| 502s | uh defensive um way to beat him sure |
| 510s | H now he pull us catapult away |
| 515s | green |
| 519s | yep both have enough Vision each and |
| 523s | there goes the there goes the battles |
| 526s | ship and blue is just dominating the |
| 529s | water right nows down to eight got I |
| 532s | don't know six he got the city you know |
| 536s | he got the city with with losing two |
| 539s | giant but he got the |
| 542s | city |
| 547s | yeah and you will get that City yeah |
| 551s | such good position right |
| 555s | now yeah meanwhile green got the island |
| 559s | there |
| 561s | yeah |
| 565s | so yeah Giant |
| 572s | and now he's pulling all of his units |
| 575s | green you know yeah he he has uh um at |
| 580s | the beginning he hasn't good any uh |
| 583s | Parts uh um um places you know but with |
| 588s | the uh City in the East and also the |
| 591s | island he uh can build some some Scouts |
| 596s | some Ras and without uh Vision blue has |
| 601s | no vision in the corner you know so kind |
| 603s | of surprising for him |
| 607s | right and d control the water that fast |
| 612s | yeah yeah yeah it's not that big that uh |
| 616s | uh uh map you know so maybe you got some |
| 620s | some water units and fight back yeah |
| 623s | because um yeah it was very very fast to |
| 628s | build those giants with blue |
| 630s | but at this time where he has no place |
| 634s | for another giant you know yep it's |
| 638s | really really |
| 640s | really yeah you have to much think very |
| 643s | much how to beat all those water units |
| 645s | you know you look at this and you |
| 648s | thought that for sure blue was going to |
| 651s | Blue is going to dominate with the those |
| 654s | four four giants early on and water |
| 658s | control |
| 660s | but as as you mentioned it looked like |
| 663s | that that critical Factor was having the |
| 666s | having these ports in a spot |
| 669s | where uh blue could not get to them they |
| 672s | they had no visibility of this and I |
| 675s | believe they also popped a rammer here |
| 677s | from the from a ruin which which |
| 679s | definitely |
| 681s | helped with that took control |
| 684s | whereas whereas the blue ports compared |
| 687s | to the green the blue ports were all |
| 689s | very exposed |
| 691s | to um Green's cats so they they were |
| 695s | able to cover at least one with that and |
| 699s | and it was fully visible |
| 703s | yeah that that was or is also the game |
| 706s | changer you know as you said like uh |
| 710s | those both cities true and also the |
| 714s | position of the ports and the uh choose |
| 717s | uh um with uh CPS you know like okay if |
| 723s | he wants to go in into water he can only |
| 726s | build two units uh with those two cities |
| 730s | you know and if he uh uh goes with a |
| 735s | with a unit into water green has um |
| 739s | enough catapults to destroy them iMed |
| 741s | immediately and next turn so so he |
| 745s | hasn't any chance to go into the water |
| 748s | again |
| 749s | only in his cap and it's too far away |
| 753s | yeah so even he's got obviously he's got |
| 757s | three ports here two ports here finally |
| 760s | finally built a bridge but he doesn't |
| 763s | have enough units to get three in the |
| 765s | water at once so that that cat is |
| 768s | covering covering these two ports and |
| 771s | then he's got he's got another one |
| 772s | sitting here and by by this time he's |
| 775s | got um these scouts over here covering |
| 779s | covering anything um |
| 782s | you're yeah |
| 785s | it's it was really impressive I let's |
| 788s | see if I can find the |
| 792s | spot um somewhere around is it turn |
| 797s | 14 yeah you look at turn 14 |
| 802s | here |
| 804s | and and the number of units one two |
| 807s | three I don't know about four four four |
| 810s | with jug five six and uh two landbased |
| 817s | giants to turn that |
| 820s | around that's amazing that's amazing |
| 823s | because uh one turn later he loses all |
| 827s | so the other city on the on the East you |
| 830s | know yeah |
| 834s | so uh green must be very scared of that |
| 838s | but some how and that's uh what it shows |
| 842s | with this tournament um that the ones |
| 846s | who are playing this tournament and uh |
| 848s | uh um goes to the final that they are |
| 852s | very very strong you know they maybe |
| 854s | they know or they already has a |
| 857s | situation like that feeling like okay |
| 861s | I'm in the back but I have an idea turn |
| 864s | the tables and uh still still still |
| 868s | think to to to wi this at all right yeah |
| 872s | in the end he he he protected this one |
| 876s | and he this they must have decided that |
| 879s | this one's far enough out that I'll do |
| 881s | what I can but I'm not putting too many |
| 883s | resources into |
| 886s | it and then you go to go to two more |
| 889s | that was turn 14 by turn |
| 893s | 15 |
| 895s | blue's Blue's got rammers here and |
| 898s | Green's got two rammers but they've got |
| 901s | two other |
| 902s | rafts but |
| 905s | Blue's blue is still looking really good |
| 908s | at that point in time but it and we're |
| 911s | down to only 20 27 hit points which he |
| 915s | knows this is here |
| 918s | so feels that he can he can handle it |
| 922s | then we get up to |
| 925s | here maybe maybe maybe um |
| 930s | he could have been could have been a |
| 933s | chance blue at all but I think |
| 937s | uh once once Green's water units were |
| 941s | set up and um his only catapult were |
| 944s | destroyed he hasn't any chance to to |
| 947s | build as green before already did to |
| 951s | build some catapults in the back you |
| 953s | know maybe he could have protect his Co |
| 956s | cities and he um he gave |
| 964s | yeah and this giant obviously is so far |
| 966s | away from the action that it doesn't |
| 968s | feel |
| 970s | good I um and and we talked about the |
| 975s | bridge |
| 977s | that potentially could have come into |
| 979s | play earlier uh to get across and get |
| 983s | some even some Riders here to to dwindle |
| 986s | that catapult and start start a push |
| 988s | here might have might have done |
| 991s | something for |
| 993s | him yeah yeah I I I like uh oh I like |
| 996s | that idea you know like okay uh going |
| 1000s | into ref doesn't make sense at all of |
| 1003s | the enemy catapults let's try that with |
| 1006s | the bridge and the Riders you know maybe |
| 1009s | maybe later if one or two turns maybe a |
| 1012s | knight you know rushing him yep yeah to |
| 1017s | get past the catapults you can't do it |
| 1019s | one by one you're you have to overwhelm |
| 1021s | them with the with numbers so that they |
| 1025s | have multiple targets so they can't just |
| 1027s | destroy you then we go to the end of end |
| 1030s | of turn 17 and every that's that was it |
| 1034s | that was where everything |
| 1035s | changed um between 14 and 17 that was |
| 1041s | critical now no no blue units in the |
| 1044s | water here two two rafts here |
| 1049s | which one of them's they're they're both |
| 1052s | going to survive but that was that was |
| 1054s | pretty much pretty much the end for them |
| 1057s | I mean blue didn't have anything else |
| 1061s | anything else they could really do um |
| 1065s | didn't didn't even change those to a to |
| 1069s | an offensive unit probably probably |
| 1072s | saved the spend to get the roads to get |
| 1074s | the bridge bridge here finally is what |
| 1076s | it looked like and um yeah yeah his his |
| 1081s | City there was very weak you know like |
| 1087s | okay building a Vara doesn't make uh any |
| 1090s | different you know you will see |
| 1094s | anyway yeah maybe |
| 1097s | yeah but in summary we can say a very |
| 1102s | very very good and uh yeah final worth |
| 1107s | fight yeah |
| 1109s | uh |
| 1110s | very excellent excellent play it was it |
| 1114s | was good play by by Blue is |
| 1118s | green green just was able to pull off th |
| 1122s | those two two cities without uh |
| 1125s | visibility to the ports U blue may have |
| 1127s | gone after after those units and focused |
| 1130s | more there to maintain control but in |
| 1133s | the end they W weren't able weren't able |
| 1136s | to see and weren't able to prevent |
| 1139s | prevent that movement um sure |
| 1143s | sure so yeah great game great game |
