NO ONE COMMENT ON 01:05 I 100% DIDN'T MESS UP THERE, AND 100% WASN'T GOING TO SAY, if you want to PLAY MILLENIA YOU CAN FROM FEB5TH -12TH BY going here~!: millennia.paradoxinteractive.com/boesthius || I love these Raiders but not the OAKLAND RAIDERS, BANG BANG NINER GANG LETS GO PURDY.
Is it realising on the 5th or does it just trial period with no opportunity to buy?
I thought my earbuds died lol
The undo button is actually a *really* good ideia. I missclick or make dumb decisions I immediately regret more often I can even admit to.
Honestly I'm huge on undo commands in anything.
With al these games, I really dislike the surrounding clouds. I can't really explain why, but it makes me feel a bit claustrofobic. I much prefer the calm light brown, flat map with dragons and what not that civ 6 uses
The fog is supposed to make u feel claustrophobic and paranoid tho
the civ6 fog-map may just be the only good thing about civ6.
great aesthetic.
Disable the clouds and get solid color.
My main issue is that the Civs feel like they completely lack differentiation which makes naming the civs after real-world nations feel rather hollow.
That’s literally the point of the game, there SUPPOSED to begin undifferentiated. You build your national identity through your national spirit, religion, tech choices, etc.
That's some Civilization talk if I ever heard any.
Having played the demo a bunch of times, I am optimistic about this entry to the genre. I was an avid Civ player, and one of my strongest childhood memories is the first time I tried Civ 1. For me, I dislike Civ 6. The districts and adjacencies break the game for me and aren't fun. Playing Milennia feels more fun, and has that "one more turn" feel to it. I don't end up obsessed with the perfect city placement and need to think 200 turns ahead when developing cities. I really like that nations are not deterministic and don't have pre-set parameters. You get a small early boost, then develop the nation's traits via choices as you progress. Of course, since I can only play the demo, I have no idea what happens after turn 60, so really mid-late game is a mystery. But so far, this is the most fun 4X game I have tried in a while so I am optimistic about it. And for sure, they need to rebalance raiding!
I was hugely disappointed by Civ 6 too. I was already really upset by the cartoony graphics, and when I was winning a game on a high difficulty simply because the AI was too stupid to move its units out of the water, that was it for me, never looked back. I REALLY hope this game has decent AI. I was really against 1 unit per tile for Civ 5/6, the AI simply cannot handle it. I was really disappointed to see this game has embark too (units just turn into boats and move into water) It's over simplified and causes the AI to do dumb crap like I described above. I have high hopes for Milenia but I think I will be disappointed. At very least, I think by 2026 with an expansion, patches, and mods it WILL be a good game.
you played civ6 wrong (as in, choosing a too weak strategy), when you ever build any city improvement or even a single district or even just a single worker or settler, because civ5 + 6 could not care less about balancing, making them literally not a 4x game, because it all about archers, because: (and in terms of districts, even barracks for archers are a waste of time, compared to just having more (and less trained archers)
Archers are too strong, till they get upgraded to whatever replaces cheap ranged units, that do just the same, but at a higher cost (less efficiently). (mostly due to 1 unit per tile with too late merging/reinforcements)
sufficient and cheap enough anti-archer defense is too late tech. (for no good reason)
terrain usually too flat (never in humankind).
Even the dumbest newbie easily wins on hardest settings as anything, by following this simple rule below in civ5+6:
"do not build anything except archers, and (rounded up) 0,6 melee units for-each city that you besiege at the same time, so you capture them faster."
That is all, and to be clear, we science-beeline to archers and nothing else, all else is VERY irrelevant for this.
We do not build any city structures, and no settlers, and no workers EVER (we just capture them all the time). and EVERY captured city constantly build archers (and maybe the 0,6 melle units per besieging city)
Spread your 50+ archers out and siege in all directions, only with archers.
If (ocean is blocking you) you may have no choice but to get 2-6 transport-ships per coastline-with--archers-guarding-the-coast, but usually there is enough space to rush and besiege.
Let me give you a tip: if you play wide, age of revolutions is a huge pain in the ass, and you will regret it if you don't have plenty of armies. Multiple revolutionary armies spawn around each city, so if you have a couple dozen regions (vassals included) your map will be covered in barbs. Also, each turn takes a long time to resolve due to all the barbs rushing your cities.
Hello Early Bears!
(Ursa dropped a stream at the same time of Millennia)
that feel when horses were in fact, back only for a limited time. and that limited time has passed by 😢
We've been telling them that the battle animations and the general graphics are pre-2010. I don't think they're listening.
But the game itself is very good. Just wish the presentation matched the gameplay.
This game feels like it's early access and sections don't have their final art.
Do you expect them to balance this in the demo?
@@remonkewl6598 this is a representation of the full game. The issues I just mentioned are not there because it's a demo.
Why does the graphics matter when the game should be about mechanics
@@Kassiaterabbitslayer the gameplay is great. They just need to bring the graphics up a little bit in 2024, in my humble opinion.
Game looks like Mobile Civ developed for phones.
Yeah, this seems more like something experimental than something meant to be the next bug thing.
No u
I actually really enjoy it tbh, much better than civ.
Civ is available on mobile lol. Millennia is way better. Civ is stale. Same formula every game.
Do you care more about graphics than gameplay?
- Mom, can we play Civilization?
- We have Civilization at home.
Civ at home:
Ur mom
Civ 6 sucks, so Civ 6 would be the Civ at home for your4 joke.
@@Cruor34 lmao go cry
civ 5+6 are the civ-at-home turd, where civ4 is still the only civ-that-matters. civ5+6 are uch bad games, that anyone can easily make a better STRATEGY game, because civ5+6 are just not strategy games because civ5 + 6 could not care less about balancing, making them literally not a 4x game, because it all about archers, because:
Archers are too strong, till they get upgraded to whatever replaces cheap ranged units, that do just the same, but at a higher cost (less efficiently). (mostly due to 1 unit per tile with too late merging/reinforcements)

@@ollllj git gud nuub
We getting out of civ four with this one!!!!🔥🔥🗣🗣🔥
Superintendent Chalmers nod threw me.
one small tip the Local reform is currently way stronger then Eureka.
as Eureka just gives you 5 science.
local reforms gives you more (total) + it advances your city (more work tile imporvments, food growth, gold and all that + gives you culture boost).
like if you pick the +1 extra culture start bonus you can run whit local reform for the whole stone age (giving a massive boost in everything).
Graphics make this one Game of the Year for 2002.
Yeah, this just looks SO much worse than civ 6
@@darknessdarkrai4549 Civ 6 looks horrific. Humankind, for all it's flaws is where it's at for looks in a 4X civ like game. Civ 5 looks better than Civ 6 though. Cartoony super bright crap fest. This looks way better, even if it looks older.
good game design i never about graphics.
barely any civ-like game used hex-tiles before civ5 made this common, way too late.
(freeciv allows for hexes, but is not really optimized for it in terms of agility)
It's really not bad at all, even quite nice at times, except for the battlescreen, which is optional but useful for learning unit advantsges.
I don’t mind the graphics all that much, it kind of has a certain beauty if your _really_ squint so hard your eyes are closed.
Regardless, I care much more for the game play, that puzzle aspect much like you said in your Civ7 vid, and I think this game does a really good job with that.
From what I see, there are mechanics here that feel essential for 4X games to come: the redo button; global warfare experience which is similar to HoI4; scouting allows the naming of landmarks (which should be a major EXP boost). I like these modest titles that can experiment.
Old World has an undo button and naming of landmarks
@@captaintattertot967 I hope this trend continues.
These are all things you can find in Old World.
Looks great! I don't mind the retro look to it and it looks very fun to play!
Super interesting concept, but it suffers hard from a lack of a coherent artistic direction. It looks like if someone took all the beauty from civ 5.
damn i haven't thought about bolt thrower in a long time, i didn't even realize they broke up 'cause their drummer died.
one of the best bands of all time
@@boesthiusWOOOOORLD EAAATEEEERR
I enjoy wathcing Bose play whatever, but I just have such hard time reading what's going on in this game. That might change in the future though. Also the battles look hillarious when the units run back and forth.
I always open youtube and see a Boes video from like 10 minutes ago lol
Civ 4 but in 2024?
Those aren't squares.
Breaking games seems more exhausting than fun but at the same time I marvel at all the game breaking things one can do that I totally just overlook.
It sounds like you're not much of a strategy game player then lol
The moment I reload a turn/savescum, the magic of a run is lost for me. I'm just weird like that.
I like the concept of an undo button, but using it for infinite scouting isn't strategic. @@matthewhaworth5935
I can play the demo for a few days FOR FREE?!?!
WHOOHOO!
Come back Boes!!!!!
When you coming back Boes?
I hate being a console player
Then don't be. Literally get a shift at McDonalds, even in Arkansas they pay like 12.50 an hour to start. Work there two months for 25 hours a week, quit. Buy a PC with your 2 months of work. Congrats you joined the PC master race.
I am not interested in this at all after watching, Potato, Laith, and now you play. (I'll give you credit, you're the only one so far to mention whose actually making this game).
From what I noticed in the start, every nation has no unique country bonuses. They are pre selected sure, but if you can just change them, then all the nations are just text files that change city names.
There is no uniqueness to this, this game looks to be as wide as an ocean but is as deep as a puddle.
Are there Building, units, anything that is unique to a Russia or a US in this game?
I will say this looks like it could be a good like 9 maybe 19$ but that's a stretch, and until I know a price tag I will forever be skeptical of this game.
I actually prefer the system they are implementing here. I dislike the deterministic national attributes and units used in Civ. Why would a US or Germany, starting in pre-history always end up with special abilities and units in industrial or modern times? That makes no sense at all. This system has a small starting boost, which you can choose, and then as you progress, you choose the routes you want for the nation to develop. The national differentiation happens over time and is not deterministic. This avoids the whole meta-civ choice scenario and the "pay to win" DLC scenario where devs just add a new OP Civ and charge you $30 to buy it.
I get what you are saying but they are all just a text file with different city names. Does 1 - 2 unique units and 1 unique building REALLY make you feel like you are Germany or the USA? It's just names we recognize. You will build the nation you want. I will make a nation with a strong economy and focus on science that is also aggressive militarily. Same as I did since Civ 1. Animated leader heads do nothing for me.
You get your unique buildings depending on how you build your nation. The city management and economy is much deeper than civ. The army management is also more in-depth.
YAY
15:29 "ME AND JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOLYARD" MENTIONED
Where have you gone?
IM HERE, just dealing with irl things and the like. I'll make an announcement soon with all the videos that I've made coming soontm~
@@boesthius we all look forward to your grand return! Thank you for the update.
OoOoooooo cool cool
"Xport" freedom.
They are really not trying to hide this game's "Civ ripoff" status from a visual standpoint, are they?
Not sure I agree. Hexes as tiles and a minimap isn't that unique to Civ, it's a genre thing.
@@couruuAll I'll say is that when I looked at the screen on my phone from a distance, it looked exactly like Civ V.
@@blastification2 I would argue that Humankind and Old world look just as much like Civ as this game.
😊
When the units switch from over-map mode into the "battle windows/close combat view" that`s really a feature that rather brakes immersion than contribute to it. There is a reason why Civ. don`t do it. This is not a Civ. game not a real "Heroes of Might and Magic" clone aka Hex battle game. This looks rather insane unbalanced/unfinished and if they don`t focus on one or the other this game will flop for sure.
bad title good editing
FREEDOM! 😂
dude brush up on your history... the view of only men were hunters is disprvoved so women scout is not only normal in bc but expected at least know your stuff before beeing an ass
First
Game feels like fun, but looks abismal. Not even mobile game abismal, just absolutely barren in any style or creativity.
Civ 6 UI with Civ 5 graphics with lesser looking mechanics. Idk abt this one bois
I mean it is super early in development, chances are this is just a skeleton to build off of and many things will get redone and polished
Are you sure it's super early, @danielli6400 ?
Releases 3rd week of March 2024 so definitely not in early development
Civ 5 has better graphics than Civ 6, so that would be a good thing. Games are always rushed out now, if you can get over the graphics, which I personally can, it will be good by 2026 after patches, an Xpac, and mods. Same with ALL games released today. Only games I can think of that are good out of the box are the Dark Souls/Elden Ring series. EVERYTHING else I have played needs a year+ of refinement/mods to get good.
Serious question: Do all games today have a person in charge of wokeness? I seriously think they have someone there who's like "I don't care that its 10000 BC. MAKE THE SCOUT A WOMAN". Even the guy IN CHARGE of the game referred to it as a guy, because that is what you would think. It's really so old and tiresome now, why does EVERYTHING have to be woke?
Also, I like the undo button, I know Old World has it, but it's about time. They even said "We know you will just save scum anyway so may as well just have an undo button" Great feature.
I'm so glad having 1 unit as a woman breaks your immersion so much that you'll consider it "woke" but the fact that the city of Washington existing in the year 9750 BC doesn't lmao. Take your fake outrage somewhere else because if you watch my channel at all you'll realize you're barking up the wrong tree here hahahahaha
I don't watch your channel kid, I put "Millennia" in the search bar. Get over yourself. Can't quit your day job yet. The potato guy and Australian guy did a much better job showcasing the game for the record.
Also, one thing is done to add a name people recognize, just like Berlin, Moscow, London. The other is literally purposely done to check the woke box. Someone on the team is literally paid to make sure they won't offend anyone on the far left. Yes, that bothers me. Hopefully, the trend is starting to end.
I didn't even notice. I will probably continue to not notice because that is something very small to be very upset about. Don't get so wrapped up in either side of the culture war that it starts to rot your brain.
@boesthius people let the culture war stuff (or any other idealogical struggles) rot their brain to the point where they can only see things through that lense. It's unfortunate, and quite sad.
@@Cruor34 So you just searched "millenia" and randomly found this channel, and THEN decided to ask the RUclipsr about politics in the videogame he is playing? That kinda makes you the weird one. You're doing what you're accusing the "far left" of doing: making politics out of the game. And the most funny part of your comment is that you think there were no women scouts 10000 BC 😂 It's just a game, life goes on!
"BCE"
**DiesOfCringe**
Same, and I'm not even religious. Humankind did the same thing. No escaping it now, gotta be woke. The female scouts and evens like "you meet a leader of a warband. SHE offers to share her combat knowledge with your troops" are even more cringe. No escaping it in 2024.
Mobile version of Old World
Old World have only 100 ages of campaign which is utterly ridiculous for game trying to present old world. Otherwise it’s great but I can’t play it because of this.
