| 0s | hi everyone welcome to the channel today |
|---|---|
| 3s | we're going to show you an epic brawl |
| 6s | between two top tier Kali players we'll |
| 9s | see some cloak action the devastating |
| 12s | power of Archer lines Giants being |
| 14s | melted and some nice night chains to |
| 17s | round out the game let's get to it I'm |
| 21s | Chris but I'm not casting this |
| 24s | alone hey all I am uh rnie so the game |
| 30s | we all we will be seeing is from the |
| 32s | katali polium tournament from last |
| 35s | September the pums are the official |
| 38s | polyopia competition that runs an entire |
| 41s | month with several weekly tournaments |
| 44s | where you even have the chance of |
| 46s | winning actual cash |
| 48s | prizes wait cash prizes but what if I'm |
| 52s | not good at the game oh don't worry |
| 55s | about that everyone can join regardless |
| 58s | of how good you are it is a great way |
| 60s | way to play the game with other people |
| 62s | to have fun and also to just get better |
| 65s | in general and who knows maybe you might |
| 68s | actually win the championships one day |
| 71s | so this game that we're looking at who |
| 73s | do we have well this is a game between |
| 77s | two top tier players we have |
| 81s | Voris who's in the |
| 84s | Northeast he is ranked seventh on |
| 87s | Challenger mode and is house leader for |
| 90s | r |
| 90s | on poly Champions and we have Sunny |
| 94s | flower in the southwest who's ranked |
| 97s | fifth on Challenger mode so this is a |
| 100s | top tier game let's take a look at the |
| 103s | game then we can see here boat players |
| 107s | starting out with some nice resources of |
| 109s | course they are Gali so they will |
| 112s | definitely have some good |
| 114s | resources but if you look at the map in |
| 116s | general we can actually see that the |
| 119s | villages are really really really well |
| 121s | distributed if you look at the top right |
| 124s | here you can see that Force has access |
| 127s | to about seven |
| 129s | Villages but here in the |
| 132s | southwest the same is also true for |
| 136s | sunny what else do we see on this map |
| 138s | grais well all of the villages have |
| 142s | pretty nice resources however notice the |
| 147s | ruin distribution Sunny has most of the |
| 150s | the ruins on his side of the map with |
| 153s | Force having maybe access to one or two |
| 158s | and this will definitely impact the game |
| 160s | later on all right so then let us turn |
| 164s | on the fog and let's see what happens in |
| 167s | the first few |
| 171s | [Music] |
| 173s | turns so we see both players starting |
| 175s | out exploring the map nothing special |
| 178s | here they're fighing villages they're |
| 180s | claiming them left right center and here |
| 184s | on turn three we see Force go getting |
| 187s | his first capture he goes straight for |
| 189s | organization and what does he do with |
| 192s | it well he grabs |
| 195s | himself a workshop right here in the |
| 200s | front all |
| 205s | right honey responds in much the same |
| 208s | way getting a work shop in his capital |
| 212s | and potentially setting up for an |
| 218s | Explorer vorce then gets an Explorer in |
| 221s | his third |
| 223s | city which |
| 225s | explores oh it almost went the right way |
| 228s | but it goes right into the corner but he |
| 230s | does get this nice |
| 232s | Lighthouse so now that we have a bit |
| 235s | more Vision let's turn off the shared |
| 237s | fog so that we actually see what players |
| 240s | are |
| 242s | seeing all right |
| 244s | so Force has had his first explorer how |
| 248s | does Sunny respond well Sunny also goes |
| 250s | from an Explorer a really really risky |
| 252s | Explorer if you look at it here right |
| 255s | because this Explorer could just as well |
| 257s | go all the way in the back towards the |
| 261s | lighthouse but what happens look at this |
| 265s | beauty it reveals several Villages it |
| 268s | reveals forces capital and all of forsa |
| 271s | cities so this was really an amazing |
| 275s | explorer that shows him so much of the |
| 278s | map and so much of what will be going |
| 282s | on |
| 285s | absolutely and play proceeds from here |
| 287s | with both players getting their upgrades |
| 291s | growing their economy and picking up the |
| 294s | villages that they can see |
| 300s | some more workshops to get the economy |
| 303s | going and we are spreading out oh we see |
| 307s | here that is sunny going for the first |
| 310s | ruin of the game in the top left |
| 314s | corner what else what else uh see Force |
| 317s | oh force is going for another Village |
| 320s | and whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa Force goes |
| 324s | straight for diplomacy in this game so |
| 329s | what does that mean well he definitely |
| 330s | knows where Sunny's capital is now but I |
| 334s | don't know Chris I think he might be |
| 336s | planning some sneaky |
| 339s | backstabbing yes indeed getting cloaks |
| 343s | early trying to land those daggers and |
| 347s | perhaps getting some Vision he's lacking |
| 350s | vision of his opponent right now so he |
| 352s | would definitely like to be able to send |
| 354s | in some cloaks to get that valuable |
| 357s | Vision while also starting some riots |
| 362s | and of course he continues capturing |
| 365s | Villages and in general boosting his |
| 369s | economy nice veteran swordsman for sunny |
| 373s | here it's going to be quite close to |
| 376s | vorse and allow him to try to |
| 380s | contest the top side of the map a little |
| 384s | bit that does definitely look scary I |
| 387s | would not want to be faced with that one |
| 391s | we getse bit more coming here but again |
| 395s | we can already see here that well Sunny |
| 398s | still has all this Vision Sunny knows |
| 400s | exactly what's going on on forces end he |
| 402s | knows how force is positioning he knows |
| 406s | how force is building up his economy so |
| 408s | in that regard information in this game |
| 411s | can really be |
| 413s | key and vorce is lacking that key |
| 416s | information stepping his Warrior onto |
| 419s | this beautiful five fruit Village in the |
| 422s | South not knowing that Sunny can take |
| 425s | him off of it and secure it one turn |
| 428s | earlier with his |
| 431s | Warriors which of course is exactly what |
| 434s | sun will |
| 437s | do and sunny seeing that VOR has a cloak |
| 442s | decides to go for a cheap and effective |
| 445s | counter archery so Force seeing that |
| 449s | sunny has archery how does he see it |
| 451s | well if you look at this Defender here |
| 453s | in the middle it has a defense bonus |
| 457s | that's can only mean one thing Sunny has |
| 459s | just bought archery and might be making |
| 461s | some archers and so Force makes the |
| 464s | decision here that well he doesn't want |
| 466s | to send his cloak towards the |
| 469s | archers instead he moves it away from |
| 472s | where the action is using it to explore |
| 475s | a little |
| 477s | bit of course this does also mean that |
| 480s | we will not see any quick infiltrations |
| 482s | happening uh |
| 491s | soon see a bit more economy being built |
| 494s | up oh and the first action this veteran |
| 497s | swordsman really um proving it worth |
| 502s | together with the archer in killing the |
| 504s | defender and |
| 505s | even revealing oh let's go back a little |
| 509s | bit for that one but the swordsman even |
| 511s | reveals the ruin that we thought would |
| 514s | actually go to force because it was so |
| 515s | much closer to his to hisin but now with |
| 518s | a veteran swordsman over there who knows |
| 522s | and sunny gets a fantastic Explorer here |
| 526s | recognizing that it will only go towards |
| 528s | the east which is the closest fog |
| 531s | tiles and it |
| 533s | reveals pretty much all of the rest of |
| 536s | vor's cities that he's going to get in |
| 538s | the east as well as getting in the |
| 541s | lighthouse oh and what do we have here |
| 544s | so Force also decides to go for archery |
| 547s | um why do you think he went for archery |
| 549s | here |
| 551s | Chris well although riding and roads are |
| 554s | normally a great counter two archers |
| 557s | Force wants to get them himself because |
| 560s | he knows he's going to have to kill lots |
| 561s | of Defenders which are high |
| 563s | health and he wants to give his daggers |
| 566s | defense bonuses from archery in addition |
| 570s | archers are a cheap and effective unit |
| 572s | for dealing with things like that pesky |
| 574s | veteran swordsman that's on his |
| 577s | borders exactly because without archers |
| 580s | I don't see him taking that one down all |
| 582s | that easily we also see that here in the |
| 585s | South Force decides not to use his cloak |
| 589s | in the attack instead the cloak goes all |
| 592s | the way to the back where it can use its |
| 594s | ability Scout which reveals a lot of |
| 596s | tiles so this cloak has transformed from |
| 599s | an offensive tool into now a really |
| 602s | great Village finder furthermore by |
| 605s | moving all the way here he removes all |
| 608s | the in the back line and why does |
| 610s | it matter well that means that this |
| 612s | Explorer will be able to be shaped in |
| 615s | such a way that it goes straight towards |
| 618s | Sunny's uh cities |
| 620s | sadly so close but he barely missed the |
| 624s | lighthouse that one will would probably |
| 626s | have stun |
| 630s | [Music] |
| 633s | first star ruin of the game for sunny |
| 637s | and he uses the veteran swordsman to |
| 640s | secure another ruin in the north the |
| 643s | star ruin allows him to get climbing |
| 646s | which allows him to continue attacking |
| 649s | Voris and try to contest the ruin in the |
| 652s | east as well while also growing his |
| 656s | economy and training lots of units |
| 660s | exactly I mean up until now force was |
| 663s | ahead in economy but with this turn |
| 665s | Sunny really really caught up so yeah |
| 669s | what's Force going to do about |
| 671s | this he does use his cloak very well to |
| 674s | find to both go for the village and to |
| 677s | find the lighthouse in the east by the |
| 680s | way keep in mind Sunny has no idea where |
| 683s | this cloak is right now Sunny will |
| 685s | probably be sweating um buckets because |
| 689s | who knows this cloak might arrive at the |
| 691s | cities at any |
| 694s | time we see some more then gets a nice |
| 698s | wall in the South City to protect it |
| 701s | because it's a little bit isolated right |
| 704s | now oh does right because without a wall |
| 708s | it's so far away from the other cities |
| 709s | that is probably difficult to defend |
| 711s | that City that's a really good move |
| 716s | actually we see Sun getting um another |
| 720s | star ruin in the north here so yeah he |
| 722s | will now really be able to build up um |
| 726s | his economy with that how is he going to |
| 729s | do |
| 732s | that see some more units moving some |
| 734s | more oh he goes for |
| 737s | theu well he uses the star ruin to get |
| 740s | forestry which otherwise would have been |
| 742s | a very expensive |
| 744s | technology and allows him to upgrade |
| 746s | most of his cities he then chops a lots |
| 748s | of forests to train even more |
| 752s | units that does look like an incredibly |
| 754s | threatening threatening line of archers |
| 756s | right |
| 758s | there oh |
| 759s | yeah and at this point the players |
| 762s | really start to build up their Archer |
| 764s | lines it's almost like two forces |
| 767s | staring each other down with neither |
| 769s | Force really wanting to advance too far |
| 772s | or else they'll get mowed down by the |
| 774s | other line |
| 781s | we see Force here also in the back keeps |
| 783s | building on up more and more |
| 786s | archers but actually this one is quite |
| 789s | interesting because here in the back we |
| 791s | see Force just captured the city um with |
| 794s | this cloak now doing that actually |
| 796s | reveals the cloak so right now Sunny who |
| 800s | has vision of the of this Village knows |
| 802s | exactly where Force's cloak is he now |
| 805s | knows |
| 806s | exactly well how long it will take |
| 808s | before that cloak can actually reach his |
| 810s | cities and how long he has before he can |
| 812s | be attacked by |
| 815s | daggers really nice population ruin for |
| 818s | sunny here getting him much closer to |
| 821s | his first |
| 823s | Giant and allowing him to set up for a |
| 825s | second giant with the |
| 828s | Monument getting lots of nice little |
| 830s | kills here and pushing forward Landing a |
| 833s | nice Defender siege for the first Siege |
| 835s | of the game |
| 840s | see another oh another ruin here uh for |
| 844s | sunny and he starts really building up |
| 847s | his economy we will definitely see |
| 850s | Giants next |
| 854s | turn of course the was not going to last |
| 857s | with so many archers around so four |
| 860s | scores ahead and kill some of them oh oh |
| 862s | did you see that all the way in the top |
| 865s | here we have the second cloak this game |
| 868s | so now forces two different cloaks |
| 871s | slowly moving |
| 873s | closer to Sunny |
| 881s | cities so just more and more archery |
| 884s | attacks and yes we get our first giant |
| 891s | Bush yes excellent play by Sunny using |
| 895s | the giant push to get the warrior closer |
| 897s | to the city so that he can Siege |
| 899s | this allows him to get a beautiful |
| 901s | double Siege against force and while |
| 903s | neither Siege will hold it denies Force |
| 905s | plenty of stars and puts him on the back |
| 907s | foot he then uses the Gate of power |
| 910s | which he got this turn by getting plenty |
| 912s | of kills to get a second Giant in his |
| 917s | Capital really nice play by |
| 921s | Sunny so yeah how will for how will |
| 923s | force deal with this of course he has |
| 926s | enough archers he can get them down but |
| 929s | we will need to make sure that he |
| 931s | actually starts um going back on the |
| 933s | offensive a bit because at the moment |
| 936s | Sunny keeps harassing him and I mean |
| 940s | it's never nice right to have so many um |
| 942s | units attacking your |
| 943s | cities but we see the Glo |
| 947s | advancing and then Force uses his own |
| 950s | gate of power that he got this turn to |
| 952s | get his first giant of the |
| 955s | game yeah so Sunny got a far fing ruin |
| 960s | here in the South let's take a quick |
| 962s | look at the map um I |
| 964s | see two Farms only one of which is |
| 967s | actually in a city so not the best de to |
| 971s | get but still he can um start building |
| 975s | this city I |
| 978s | guess more importantly Sunny gets riding |
| 981s | this turn and riding is going to allow |
| 984s | him to try to get roads and really put |
| 987s | even more pressure on Voris |
| 990s | he goes for a Siege and doesn't quite |
| 992s | have enough in the East but he's still |
| 994s | advancing and applying lots of pressure |
| 997s | he then uses his monument and that farm |
| 1000s | to set up for another |
| 1002s | giant Sunny has to defend against these |
| 1005s | cloaks that are coming in and so he goes |
| 1008s | for roads using this really smart Rider |
| 1011s | bounce to reveal one of the cloaks and |
| 1014s | kill it this slows down vor's attack |
| 1017s | just a little bit |
| 1021s | we also see that Sunny now knows where |
| 1024s | both of the enemy cloaks are because |
| 1026s | these two Warriors have a small little |
| 1028s | eye icon and these four units also have |
| 1031s | an eye icon so even though Sunny cannot |
| 1034s | detect the cloes right now he knows |
| 1036s | where they are and he also knows where |
| 1039s | they are going to |
| 1045s | attack all right Force get climbing um |
| 1049s | of course climbing really good one for |
| 1052s | making sure your daggers can spawn on |
| 1054s | the right positions and force well he's |
| 1057s | going on the attack he has now pushed |
| 1059s | back hard enough um with his archers so |
| 1061s | that his cloaks are in position to be |
| 1063s | able to strike deep into Sunny's lines |
| 1067s | he's attacking two cities next to to |
| 1070s | each other and creating this really |
| 1072s | quite threatening Force right in the |
| 1074s | middle of Sunny's |
| 1077s | Army sadly though |
| 1080s | his third cloak got found so he will not |
| 1082s | be able to set up another cloak Siege |
| 1085s | cloak attack next |
| 1092s | turn and of course for uh Sunny is not |
| 1096s | the only one who is faced with a large |
| 1098s | amount of enemy archers and doesn't know |
| 1101s | how to deal with them Force also has |
| 1104s | trouble with that so force is now going |
| 1105s | to get himself a few Riders as well just |
| 1108s | to take down all of those |
| 1110s | archers |
| 1112s | exactly Sunny has to deal with this |
| 1115s | massive cloak attack but fortunately he |
| 1117s | has archers who don't take too much |
| 1120s | retaliation damage and his Giants can |
| 1122s | clean up some of the daggers The Archers |
| 1124s | couldn't get |
| 1125s | to however there's still a lot of |
| 1128s | daggers and he's not able to kill all of |
| 1131s | them this turn so vce's attack is still |
| 1134s | continuing to run |
| 1140s | too bad for vce though he doesn't have |
| 1142s | any more cloaks in the front line so he |
| 1144s | can't keep up the same level of attack |
| 1147s | using his |
| 1148s | G so instead he keeps putting on |
| 1151s | pressure using his archers using his new |
| 1154s | Riders um moving forward a bit and just |
| 1156s | in general being very annoying with the |
| 1158s | closeing the backline because they are |
| 1160s | still doing a lot of damage they are |
| 1161s | still really |
| 1163s | disturbing um whatever backline Sunny |
| 1167s | has built up and yeah we we see here |
| 1169s | Force he wants to get a pressure back he |
| 1172s | wants to get more cloaks to the front to |
| 1175s | really keep sunny on the back |
| 1179s | foot but Sunny is going to be able to |
| 1182s | respond to this and uses his new Riders |
| 1188s | and his multitude of archers to clean up |
| 1191s | the last of the |
| 1192s | daggers as well as some convenient Road |
| 1195s | Connections to begin to pump out a few |
| 1198s | more Giants |
| 1199s | Sunny now has four giants compared to |
| 1202s | vor's |
| 1205s | one that is a really big difference in |
| 1208s | Giants so I guess Force's short offense |
| 1212s | will already come to an end by the time |
| 1214s | these Juggernaut hit the front line I |
| 1217s | mean how is he going to stop |
| 1219s | that well he's going to need some more |
| 1221s | Giants of his own that's for |
| 1224s | sure all right more Giants of his own of |
| 1227s | course how else to counter Giants right |
| 1229s | but where will he get those |
| 1230s | giants because right now if we look at |
| 1233s | his side of the field I don't see any |
| 1236s | Giants that he can pump out straight |
| 1238s | away without going for some more |
| 1240s | things well he's going to need to save |
| 1242s | up some stars and fortunately his cloaks |
| 1244s | are going to help him get a few more |
| 1246s | stars from his |
| 1248s | opponent all right because the cloak |
| 1250s | steal the stars from the enemy the |
| 1253s | attack they do indeed here's a nice |
| 1256s | veteran Siege from Sunny using that |
| 1259s | veteran Rider to place a really |
| 1261s | threatening Siege on one of V's backline |
| 1264s | cities that's a lot of |
| 1267s | pressure speaking about pressure have |
| 1270s | you seen the Giant and Defender here on |
| 1271s | the other city as well I mean how is |
| 1274s | force going to deal with |
| 1278s | that he moving around these archers and |
| 1283s | just starts shooting things oh oh we see |
| 1285s | some more attack actually by vce so he's |
| 1288s | still using those |
| 1289s | to try to disrupt Sunny's backline to |
| 1291s | try to win back some of the |
| 1294s | momentum yeah that's an excellent cloak |
| 1296s | it gives him lots more stars to work |
| 1298s | with this |
| 1300s | turn |
| 1301s | and wannie how is he going to protect |
| 1304s | his Central |
| 1305s | City well actually I really like this |
| 1308s | one um so right now he's making a giant |
| 1311s | in his Central City now you might wonder |
| 1313s | why is he not waiting with a giant why |
| 1315s | doesn't he wait until the enemy giant |
| 1317s | sieges the city to J then push it off |
| 1321s | well right now there's only a single |
| 1324s | giant next to the city but if he waits a |
| 1326s | turn to make his push happen then there |
| 1328s | will be more Giants next to the city and |
| 1331s | his giant will probably get killed in |
| 1333s | her process so Force decides that even |
| 1335s | though he has a good push opportunity |
| 1337s | and might even have a Houdini |
| 1338s | opportunity here it is not worth it to |
| 1342s | keep the Giants uh in stock for that he |
| 1344s | wants a giant right now because he needs |
| 1346s | that offensive power |
| 1355s | absolutely death Sun unfaced just keeps |
| 1358s | pushing forward keeps destroying archers |
| 1361s | and keeps putting on pressure his own |
| 1363s | backline is in danger but I mean he has |
| 1367s | the units to deal with it |
| 1368s | right |
| 1370s | oh and here is a nice placement of the |
| 1373s | Grand Bazaar using that Monument to get |
| 1377s | a border growth in the East City however |
| 1381s | look at vor's side vorce has a cloak on |
| 1384s | the mountain southeast of his Archer |
| 1388s | which will immediately be able to take |
| 1390s | advantage of Sunny getting that border |
| 1393s | growth quickly CH forces few yeah right |
| 1396s | here this cloak |
| 1397s | right yes and cloaks love border growths |
| 1403s | because those daggers will spawn in the |
| 1405s | most inconvenient places for your |
| 1407s | opponent with lots of available defense |
| 1409s | bonuses so Sunny going for this border |
| 1412s | growth it's great for him but it's going |
| 1414s | to hurt that much more because of |
| 1421s | it see a few more hits few more dead |
| 1425s | daggers nothing new new |
| 1427s | here and just oh yeah why not let's make |
| 1431s | another giant because we don't have |
| 1433s | enough Giants yet on the light green |
| 1435s | sides great turn for sunny here really |
| 1438s | cementing that he's the one on offense |
| 1441s | but Voris able to land a cheeky little |
| 1443s | cloak on that border growth City and |
| 1445s | look at all those |
| 1452s | daggers I see a lot more attacks here |
| 1455s | and for is starting to actually Whittle |
| 1457s | down all the Giants near his North |
| 1461s | City exactly |
| 1476s | now Sunny moving in with three Giants on |
| 1479s | that Central City really testing vor's |
| 1483s | defenses we'll have to see if they can |
| 1485s | hold but for now it looks like Voris is |
| 1488s | still maintaining a stable line but |
| 1490s | Sun's continuing to push forward picking |
| 1492s | off those remaining daggers great play |
| 1495s | by Sunny to make sure that he Shores up |
| 1497s | his side of the map and making sure that |
| 1499s | he doesn't have any daggers in the |
| 1501s | backline but would you look at this here |
| 1503s | what happened here in the |
| 1505s | north Force saw the giant the giant was |
| 1507s | already a bit weakened and he just ASDS |
| 1510s | well let's kill it as we said in the |
| 1513s | introduction Giants are being melted by |
| 1516s | The |
| 1519s | Archers and of course and there's |
| 1521s | another massive |
| 1523s | cloak five more daggers on that City |
| 1527s | stealing even more star Force has so |
| 1529s | many stars to play with now he can |
| 1531s | really start to look at getting more |
| 1537s | Technologies of course sun is still able |
| 1540s | to clear the B but just look at how many |
| 1542s | units he needs to do this how much he is |
| 1545s | investing in actually trying to keep |
| 1547s | this city |
| 1551s | safe we see some more offenses on the |
| 1554s | North side |
| 1555s | here but in general it's just more of a |
| 1559s | same Sunny decides oh B no he's stilled |
| 1563s | but oh would you look at this sunny has |
| 1567s | recognized that all those archers are |
| 1570s | still a problem for him even with his |
| 1571s | Riders so he got himself free |
| 1575s | spirits that can only mean one thing |
| 1577s | right he's going for |
| 1580s | nights |
| 1581s | exactly let's see how that |
| 1584s | goes here once again a giant just |
| 1588s | getting d C by all the archers Surs po |
| 1593s | Giants and just great defending by Voris |
| 1597s | he's been defending admirably for the |
| 1599s | last few turns taking out Giants without |
| 1601s | losing any of his own just great |
| 1605s | play right because how many Giants did |
| 1608s | Sunny have again I think it was like |
| 1611s | four well it was four versus one at one |
| 1614s | point in the game and now I think for |
| 1618s | this Guild three already at this point |
| 1621s | so yeah and only lost one |
| 1623s | himself all right yeah that's indeed |
| 1626s | really really nice defensive play will |
| 1629s | he be able to keep this up though |
| 1631s | because as we saw we might be seeing kns |
| 1635s | very soon oh more Giants for |
| 1638s | Force yes working on getting a few more |
| 1640s | Giants probably next |
| 1642s | turn and there it is the first night of |
| 1646s | the game for sunny |
| 1649s | going to try to put more pressure on |
| 1652s | vores to |
| 1655s | answer and here are some nice sieges by |
| 1659s | Sunny continuing to deny vorce some |
| 1664s | stars and again probably not going to |
| 1668s | stick but Sunny knows that he just knows |
| 1671s | well this three star Defender is worth a |
| 1673s | lot less than the star income I'm |
| 1675s | denying so he just keeps it up |
| 1679s | and here in the South no in the East we |
| 1682s | actually see that Sunny is starting to |
| 1685s | find the other cloak he now knows where |
| 1687s | they are coming from how they are |
| 1689s | attacking his |
| 1690s | City and I think he will try to deal |
| 1693s | with that because he makes this entire |
| 1695s | wall and why does it matter Chris well |
| 1698s | if a cloak has no tile it can move to |
| 1701s | outside of a city then it can't |
| 1703s | infiltrate this is called blocking |
| 1705s | cloaks and sunny is demonstrating |
| 1707s | exactly how to do |
| 1722s | that vor's position still holds here as |
| 1726s | he continues to pick off units and there |
| 1729s | he lands a nice cloak getting rid of one |
| 1731s | of those blocking units so his cloak has |
| 1733s | a space to move to excellent play by VOR |
| 1736s | to open up that cloak attack |
| 1741s | and then popping another giant making |
| 1744s | sure that his opponent is not allowed to |
| 1746s | Siege one of his backline cities and |
| 1749s | then a big border growth trying to set |
| 1751s | up to get even more Giants and hopefully |
| 1753s | defend against these incoming Knights |
| 1755s | that he can |
| 1758s | see so what will the KN do how are they |
| 1761s | going to do back here we see some more |
| 1763s | clearing attackers here in the front in |
| 1765s | the back line but of course we're all |
| 1767s | watching this little |
| 1769s | what's he |
| 1770s | going where is he going to |
| 1773s | attack oh oh all the way to the other |
| 1777s | side of the map clears three units not |
| 1780s | too many but still creating a lot of |
| 1782s | open space alleviating some of the |
| 1785s | pressure was feeling on that side of the |
| 1790s | map exactly and at this point in the |
| 1792s | late game when both players are trading |
| 1795s | units like this over and over again it's |
| 1797s | not necessarily the cost of the unit |
| 1799s | that matters it's how many units it can |
| 1801s | get rid of before it |
| 1806s | dies we see the Border here here paying |
| 1809s | off with even more |
| 1811s | Giants but Sunny did build up his Knight |
| 1815s | Army now has two more Knights ready to |
| 1818s | attack going for a Siege here with a |
| 1821s | knight again keep in mind the sieg is |
| 1824s | stealing a lot of stars just by blocking |
| 1826s | the city |
| 1828s | and another Knight Siege as well with a |
| 1830s | hit on the giant just to whittle it down |
| 1833s | a little bit so even though those |
| 1835s | Knights didn't kill too many units |
| 1837s | they're still really really um annoying |
| 1841s | for vce to deal with and of course yeah |
| 1844s | they're just clearing out his Frontline |
| 1846s | units making it really hard for him to |
| 1849s | protect his squishy and valuable archers |
| 1852s | furthermore we also see that Sunny is |
| 1854s | really intensifying his offense like |
| 1856s | just look at how many units he has here |
| 1859s | on the front line meanwhile force is |
| 1861s | pushed all the way back to this line |
| 1863s | here force does have a lot of giants |
| 1865s | though right these Giants if he can get |
| 1867s | them into the action might actually |
| 1869s | really start mattering on the other hand |
| 1872s | Sunny only has this single giant left |
| 1875s | all the rest of them have been killed by |
| 1877s | forces's archers |
| 1895s | see some more |
| 1901s | UNS and here Sunny's just continue to |
| 1903s | try to break through vor's front line |
| 1907s | getting another giant kill and another |
| 1910s | big Siege and look at all these |
| 1913s | Defenders for sunny right on the front |
| 1915s | line the Knight chaining through the |
| 1917s | last vor's Defenders you can see Sunny |
| 1920s | is this Army composition front line to |
| 1923s | back line his Defenders protect his |
| 1925s | archers who can now advance and for the |
| 1928s | first time in this game Sunny's archers |
| 1931s | can start breaking through to vor's side |
| 1932s | of the |
| 1938s | map forse continuing to try to defend |
| 1942s | but Sunny keeping up this pressure |
| 1944s | that's a big giant Siege on the wall |
| 1946s | City on turn 26 versus wall City finally |
| 1952s | gives way and sunny can Siege |
| 1954s | it and now Sunny working on killing |
| 1957s | another Giant and there it is from Full |
| 1961s | HP Sunny is going to be able to kill |
| 1964s | another one of vor's Giants and really |
| 1967s | make this Siege hard to |
| 1969s | break now here in the end vorce sees the |
| 1972s | Giant on a city and knows this is going |
| 1975s | to be so difficult to deal with he is |
| 1977s | going to to go all out going to try to |
| 1980s | keep it um and look at how he's |
| 1983s | positioning his units it clearly looks |
| 1985s | like he's trying to set up what we um |
| 1989s | call a Houdini trying to make his own |
| 1992s | giant underneath Sunny's giant so that |
| 1994s | sun giant will disappear by blocking all |
| 1997s | the TOs around it it's an ambitious |
| 2000s | play but what happens |
| 2004s | wannie I'm afraid he just barely likes |
| 2007s | the units needs to pull it off um he |
| 2011s | sent all these unit forwards and then |
| 2014s | just some very minor um issues with |
| 2018s | getting his UN in the right position |
| 2020s | this Rider blocking the tiles towards |
| 2022s | this Forest so he can't actually get all |
| 2024s | the units underneath it um of course |
| 2027s | keep in mind Guys these players are |
| 2030s | really really good players but these are |
| 2033s | live games they're playing with a clock |
| 2035s | they can't just sit down and |
| 2037s | really draw out the best plan so even |
| 2040s | with all of this Force sadly barely |
| 2044s | misses his um barely misses his Houdini |
| 2048s | and doesn't actually manage to destroy |
| 2051s | the enemy Giants and I think at this |
| 2053s | point for Force decides well I'm not |
| 2057s | going to win this anymore I should have |
| 2058s | been able to kill the giant I didn't |
| 2060s | manage sadly um and he decides that he |
| 2063s | can't keep up anymore against all the |
| 2065s | knights and all the archers and |
| 2067s | Defenders |
| 2068s | that Sunny is throwing at him so Force |
| 2072s | resigns Chris what did you think of this |
| 2074s | game oh just fantastic game really |
| 2078s | really solid micro really really solid |
| 2082s | unit movement and combat and decisions |
| 2086s | from both players throughout all points |
| 2089s | in the game it was a nail-biting game |
| 2092s | and as we said from the beginning right |
| 2094s | they both had their nice setup of Seven |
| 2097s | Cities and used it to its maximum |
| 2099s | potential it was just a thrilling match |
| 2101s | to watch exactly and with so many back |
| 2103s | and forths with so many uh special units |
| 2107s | like how often do you see those big |
| 2109s | Archer Place how often do you see cloaks |
| 2112s | really going in there and taking control |
| 2115s | so in my opinion this was a really |
| 2117s | beautiful match and just with how the |
| 2119s | map was laid out in such an equal way I |
| 2121s | think this one really got to showcase |
| 2124s | the skill of the players involved here |
| 2127s | exactly |
