Hey gamers! If you haven't already seen the original Polytopia beginner mistakes video, you can find it here with the link! ruclips.net/video/3Bvj4h-QkmE/видео.html
Yep, definitely. This is totes one of the things most keeping me from fully passing from beginner to intermediate in skill I guess. I almost always purchase all techs practical for the map; now finding that no, better players don't do that.
It is rarely worth it to maximize your cities. Usually that happens in water world maps where there isn't a lot of cities to capture, or just a lenghtened stalemate where you don't really have a more efficient use for your stars.
To add on to the common mistake of not balancing military and eco, I find in my experience that most players tend to be on the greedy side. If you're not sure if you're balancing your army and eco well enough, odds are that you're probably making too few units. You want to be able to control all parts of the map before your opponent can, rather than letting them expand with no issues whatsoever.
I appreciated the last part about when you kill opponents units to be mindful of the star trade. I get the concept, maybe more examples of this and when it’s good to do and not good to do? Thanks for the vid as always
basically if you have two units of equal strength like a rider, let the enemy attack first, unless its beneficial to weaken them, because if you attack first, then on their turn they now can destroy your unit and also gets one exp towards becoming a veteran which makes them stronger when a unit does become a veteran.
You should definitely make a guide for the tech tree for the polytaur tribe. (Sorry I don't know how to say the tribe) the guide will help because you can't burn trees and has a unique playstyle.
A mistake I see my friends do all the time is attaching themselves to a tech that they think is very strong all the time, without considering the drawbacks of the current situation. One of my friends still just rushes chivalry every game because he can’t except that knights aren’t the best unit in the game no more 😅
Essentially you need to look at your current position and determine what units are needed. If your opponent has a bunch of unprotected catapults lined up, maybe knights are in order. If your opponent has knights themselves, maybe consider smithery and swordsmen
I not consider my self a beginner. I am at 1300 elo but this video still helps me! I must remember to don't throw games for going full economy for example. I would love to have also a video explaining what tech you should buy. Obviously it depends of the match but there are lots of game (with new mechanic "in live") where I loss way too much time thinking on the tech to buy
The last point is a bit oversimplified, for example the same road can be used by another unit to help kill an enemy unit in future turns. This complicates the equation of how many stars is used to kill a unit. Very informative video.
Been playing for over 5 years but the temptation is still strong to get a workshop in every single town. Also to optimize for the most longterm efficient high level town instead of just upgrading a town quickly to the point I need
My favorite tip to do is that when you have the Bardur Tribe always lvl up the capital then dont take any villages until you get the catapult tech now if you have researched the catapult tech then try to slowly lvl up your current cities and expand though make sure to always have vision since catapults are very fragile and useless if you cant see your opponents troop Also if you have the catapult tech you also get the sawmill which is pretty useful if you have lots of forest lumberhuts! If lucky you can quickly lvl up your city and get your first giant immediately
If you have a customs house economy you can actually get away with the spiritualism/chivalry route. I did it once in a game where i simply had too many stars and I won. (It took around 50 turns though)
I will admit, you should upgrade your cities a little because I've had a lot of times where I needed backup units and the city was at Max capacity of units
Can you do a series where you'll explain how the special tribes work? As someone who doesn't have them, I want to understand how my opponent is going to play.
Can i suggest making a video series for beginners on how to play each tribe early game, lets say first 10 turns, itd be 15 videos since there’s 16 tribes cause hoodrick doesnt get one
It's a great idea, but a little unfeasible for the first 10 turns because so many different lines open up as the game progresses. I do plan on making videos on how to play each tribe in the future though!
Welcome to the channel! I reccomend checking out some of the Playlists I have. If you want fun entertaining games, check out the random 1v1s. If you're trying to get better at the game, check out the tips, tricks, and tutorials playlist (although some of those videos might be a bit outdated)
How do you beat hoodrick? Seems to stack archers on me and beat me every time. I play 1v1 multiplayer with bardur. Tiny map and just under 1200 elo. Started playing multiplayer this past weekend
This is a video aimed at beginner players to help them improve. I agree that you don't need to try-hard every single game, but if you're struggling then it may be worth taking a look at your playstyle
I think the game is good but COMPETLY PAY TO WINlike u wanna play online but u HAVE TO BUY a tribe to play online like it just makes the game pay to win, there are default 3 tribes isnt it wnought for multiplayer, i think they MUST make multiplayer impossible for free to plays

A tech decisions video would be super helpful; a lot of beginner (or even intermediate) level players make such mistakes.
I agree, it's a pretty difficult concept
Yes
Yep, definitely.

Yes pls
i agree

So true

Yeah, this seems to be in demand along with a video on tech choices. Thanks for watching!

@@blackwaltz3135with riders you want to attack first since they do really poor retaliation damage.

I do plan on making guides for each tribe, so stay tuned for that
Yesssss
A Tech Guide per civilization would be very useful.
Thank you Gullyy for your wonderful advice! I was stuck at 600 elo and through hard work and determination was able to reach 700 thanks to this video!
Ayo?
Is there even any opponents in 600?
A technology video would be grate I always struggle with that 👍
A mistake I see my friends do all the time is attaching themselves to a tech that they think is very strong all the time, without considering the drawbacks of the current situation. One of my friends still just rushes chivalry every game because he can’t except that knights aren’t the best unit in the game no more 😅
I’m new to the game. What’s better than rushing knights?
Essentially you need to look at your current position and determine what units are needed. If your opponent has a bunch of unprotected catapults lined up, maybe knights are in order. If your opponent has knights themselves, maybe consider smithery and swordsmen
@@GullYYGamer I see. My friend always rushes roads and then knights every game, so I (a absolute noob) am studying counters.
Gullyy too good. Game unplayable. Needs nerf.

Maybe a deeper dive into star trade? Good video!
good idea!
For the max cities, I like doing this as polaris closer to end-game when its a race to see who gets the most super units.
1:48 Yes pls
Amazing video! A video explaining which technologies in which situations would be amazing.
I can make that happen, thanks for watching
Like some other said, a video about the tech tree would be great! I already subscribed so I don´t miss it :D
Been playing for over 5 years but the temptation is still strong to get a workshop in every single town. Also to optimize for the most longterm efficient high level town instead of just upgrading a town quickly to the point I need
does anyone else just binge watch GullYY videos at 12:30 am?
Video on tech choosing would be much appreciated! Thanks for the content =*
will do, thanks for watching
1:42 it's a beautiful day outside.
birds are singing, flowers are blooming...
great video btw

Hey its me sante from 2020, its been awhile lmao. I still watch your videos and i enjoy them.
Very professional video!
Thanks! I put a lot of time into it so I'm glad you noticed
When I play in 900 tile maps I often have a level 9 city because of the enormous amount of cities connected to the capital
I will admit, you should upgrade your cities a little because I've had a lot of times where I needed backup units and the city was at Max capacity of units
Can you do a series where you'll explain how the special tribes work? As someone who doesn't have them, I want to understand how my opponent is going to play.
Yep, I'll be making guides for every tribe eventually
whenever I'm starting a new game of polytopia, I never immediately attack
all the educational stuff is nice yeah, but i would like some just entertaining videos sometime
Can i suggest making a video series for beginners on how to play each tribe early game, lets say first 10 turns, itd be 15 videos since there’s 16 tribes cause hoodrick doesnt get one

Yes PLEASE go into which branch to pick. That’s the most difficult thing for me.
hi! i searched polytopia on yt and the first thing that appeared was your channel! with what vid should I start?

@@GullYYGamer thanks!
Yes, please do technology video
We totally need a tech tree guide video!
I want the video for the which tech branch should I invest in
Im new can you rate my army?
Its like
1 line - knight
2 line - shield man
3 line - archers
4 line - healers
Clear and concise viddy
Thanks!
my strategy is hammering people with 10 catapults
What is aquarion good for like it confuses that they live in water tiles but can't travel on water tiles
This might be a bad strategy but I would go climbing meditation then philosophy cus then all technologys will cost 33% less
Love your channel
Thank you!
Excuse me I can as something? Why do when I long press something in polytopia nothing pop out like yours do
tech videos would be great, since it will bring more game sense to players
and as well to viewers who don't play the game :D
How do you beat hoodrick? Seems to stack archers on me and beat me every time. I play 1v1 multiplayer with bardur. Tiny map and just under 1200 elo. Started playing multiplayer this past weekend
Please make a guide on the tech tree plz!!!
I’ll take that 1 stare production over scouts to my grave
I always go with the spies
I would like a technology video
me watching this hoping i havent done any of these
I hope more free tribes I would love to see this game in esports battle royale
"you guys really enjoyed my last video!"
*One year ago*
Common beginner mistake:choosing vengir
1.1k liked, so satisfying
I don’t defend I produce a lot of units to attack and I Am so strong when people attack they can’t defend and I win.
What your ELO?
Hovers between 1500 and 1650
@@GullYYGamer impressive
Le tech video
Miau
Don't be one dimensional, sometimes it is ok to play off meta.
This is a video aimed at beginner players to help them improve. I agree that you don't need to try-hard every single game, but if you're struggling then it may be worth taking a look at your playstyle
First
I think the game is good but COMPETLY PAY TO WINlike u wanna play online but u HAVE TO BUY a tribe to play online like it just makes the game pay to win, there are default 3 tribes isnt it wnought for multiplayer, i think they MUST make multiplayer impossible for free to plays
