oh hey, welcome to my highly under appreciated channel lol. Every day I contemplate making more videos and say, “no” lol

They’re pretty good in certain situations. If you’re in a position to use multiple against one city then you can really nullify your opponent’s game plan.

@@DrockTalk I love doing that but haven't been able to get in that position very often at all

@@ThePolysaur yeah, I find that sleds are more useful most of the time. If you’re on dryland though ice archers are more reasonable.

Roads next to ice function as ice??

Haha thanks! I turned 31 this year. The intro to this video is one of my favorite creations. Glad you liked it!

lol that sounds pretty funny to attempt. If I come out of my break I might start with that. You say it’s broken, but that sounds hard to pull off to me.

Loses to rider roads hard

I like to get the warriors trained and on the move as quickly as possible so my shaman doesn’t have to move through the clouds as much. If you lead with the shaman you could easily walk into an ambush and lose one of your best assets early on.

They can be under certain circumstances. Most of the time you just have to understand how they operate and adjust to their weaknesses.

Ha yeah it hurt me to see that too. It was a live match so sometimes when you’ve got like 60 seconds to take your turn you make mistakes. I didn’t check the time stamps, but upgrading immediately isn’t always the best move. It depends if that 1 spt outweighs whatever else you needed to do next turn. Thanks for the tip

@@DrockTalk Not in this case. It already had one pop. You'd spend four stars and immediately get five back. You'd be able to do more even on the SAME turn.

I’m at 1437 right now and I play 4 player matches like 80% of the time. I’ve played 401 matches on my main account. 2nd account is a negligible amount, probably less than 20. (I bought a 2nd copy on Steam so I could record on my PC).

True. They can be countered by a strong navy though with the ability to move and break ice in the same turn. You’ve got to send scouts forward to break the ice, then use bombers to control the area. They might make more ice and kill your scouts, but if you plan well and keep hammering them, they’ll eventually run out of freezing units and you can start to push them back.

Thanks! I haven’t made anything for a while. Maybe this is just the encouragement I needed lol.

Interesting points. Maybe you can call that one Luxidor Core! I like the rider method because luxidoor’s level 2 city lets them make more riders than the other players, and faster too! You don’t necessarily gain an advantage when you’re moving through the fog, but if you need to contest a village or ruin then you’ll benefit from the upgraded units. What tech would you get first?

@@DrockTalk I always get either hunting or organization depending on the resources in my capital and the second city. Riders can be a second tech. There are rare cases when you actually don't need them: maybe you want to get on the water first - then you get sailing. If you go with my opening, I think Luxidor would be just barely worse than other turn 0 tribes (because the capital is level 2 but doesn't have a workshop so only 3 stars per turn). I had some success with it (I'm 1300 elo and haven't platoed yet). One last thing. If I don't spawn in the corner, I usually send one of my 3 warriors there. That way I can always upgrade my capital with a tier 1 tech.

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you liked it.

Ha thanks. I too thought it was cool. I like the part where we laughed at Chris

Lol luckier than I’ve ever been!

Awesome, thanks! I’m glad you liked it. My friend just beat me as Kickoo and told me that she used my own strategy against me lol.

ruclips.net/video/2IlP1hsODR4/видео.htmlsi=690J-JGpZyiA_Axe Just for you!

lol thanks! 🙏🏼

Haha thank you very much. I put some love into this one.

Thank you very much! I worked hard on this one

Interesting point. How does this miss out on stars?

Your opening T0: trained warrior (cost 2) = 3 stars left T1: Fungi (cost five) = 0 stars left T2: Warrior (cost 2) = 0 star left T3: Have 4 stars with 1 population 9 accumulated stars from T0 to T2 and spent the same amount of stars. T3 you'll have a capital with 2 population and just 4 stars, can't train another warrior nor upgrade the capital Normal T0: Fungi (cost 5) = 0 stars left T1: warrior (cost 2) = 0 stars left T2: warrior = 2 stars left T3: Fungi (cost 5 then pick 5 stars back from upgrade) = 7 stars left 11 Accumulated Stars at T2 and spent 9. Can upgrade capital to level 3 in T3 and get 5 stars back ending in 7 stars.

Wow that’s fast; I didn’t know that was possible! Would you be making at least 8 stars per turn by turn 5 with that plan? I think one downside to that would be that enemy cities would be low level, so you wouldn’t get that many daggers per infiltration.

@@DrockTalk 4 days ago a send my spyrush replay on your discord

Thanks! lol your profile pic is too funny@@mlekot2250

Haha I didn’t notice that, now it’s gonna bother me. I’m just glad that you watched that far into the video!

Based on preliminary research, the Najdorf is an aggressive yet positional opening meant to limit black’s movement, but without holding the center of the board. The Polytopia equivalent would probably be to expand along the edges of the map instead of going for the center. In 1v1 your opponent will usually go for the center to cut off your resources and split the map in half, but if your goal is to move along the edge anyway and you do it with enough speed to avoid getting boxed in, then this might work out for you. Once you have a solid foothold along the border, you would want to zone out your opponent from moving into your area freely. You could achieve this with superior ranged units and placement such as catapults or bombers. Once you have an area under control you could push forward with hardy units like rammers, swordsman, or knights. Hypothetically.

Wow thanks for the tip! I can’t believe I didn’t notice that earlier lol

this is life changing tip :) I have a ton of such problems esp with aquarion as their 2 main units both have escape skill; wish it was actually green boarder so it could be spotted easier

Thanks for the plug!

Hey, Polychamps. You’re welcome, thank you for the support! You’re the best.

Is this the one and only polychamps? Pog

Polytopia > chess?

Heck yeah

Lol yes. In Polytopia when I’ve overextended my knight it means my knight is a hero. In chess an overextended knight is an idiot

I used a bomber in chess and they said I was cheating. Pshh

No need to shit on a Banger just to glorify another. I love both games. Poly has more depth but chess gives you consistency by removing all the balance and RNG issues.

Thanks for the tip. You’ve got a good eye for strategy!

2150 glass is the only place I go for compliments!

I usually hover around 1400. I mainly play 4 player normal size maps.

@@DrockTalk I like the way you tried, connecting Polytopia openings to chess.

Thanks! It worked a bit better for the first openers video. As I get into more complicated strategies, the variability compared to a chess board makes it hard to come up with a one-size-fits-all guide.

Cymanti gang forever!
