I'm so excited to see Day9 come back to this game. I remember him being blown away when it all "clicked" for him on his first playthrough. Amazing game and worth every penny.
45:30 Yes! Fake arrogance is so funny, it's one of my favorite forms of comedy. Sadly, none of my friends seem to get it. It's like they think I really am arrogant or something! But obviously that couldn't be me...
Yo Day9, awesome to see you having fun with the game! The Forest Mysteries are very important to pay attention to!! I know it might look overwhelming, but it is actually quite simple. Each season has an effect associated with it. The possitive effects are active during the calm seasons while the negative modifiers only occur during the storm season. The number underneath all of the debuffs are connected to the the current Forrest Hostility (the number next to the red eye at the top of the screen). While I do think the game has a great tutorial, I think it fails to convey this sort of information properly to the player. Forest Hostility is such an important mechanic to manage. Hostility increases with villager count, employing woodcutters, opening glades, and more. Managing your woodcutters actually becomes very important during the storm- hence they made the small axe icon button with an X over it - when you click it you can instantly unemploy every woodcutter. You sometimes want to do this as it lowers hostility and thus the negative debuffs to your citizens resolve. Honestly there is much more- but I feel like my comment is already getting too long! :) really enjoying the way you talk about games and how you try to teach other players, so I just wanted to give back :)
Hi day9, that neck adjustment you did with your hands right after winning the tutorial was identical to one I did 3 years ago and I've been using neck brace since. I would advice against it. I dislocated the atlas chronically and have had bi weekly chiropractic adjustments with some minor improvments. I also became unable to play starcraft because my dislocated atlas joint pressures the vagus nerve to the heart and the tension level of playing starcraft or other activities that have even the slightest level of tension is impossible to tolerate. I also need to lie down at on and off at least 5 hours a day, and have to support my neck with my hand between typing all the time. So I'm begging you, be careful with that neck popping! I've never had any illness worse for the mind and body. (Technical name is cervical instability of c4 vertebrae and atlas instability)
Having played this game for a while in it's various forms...man is it excellent. I love building games, but literally all of them seem to have such a hard time figuring out a way to keep the player engaged after you figure out the winning loop. All of them, you lose or do silly one off missions until you figure out the completely fail-safe order in which to win, every time. Against the Storm is, legit, the only one I've come across to solve this issue, by introducing rogue elements. And in a great, thoughtful way, not just tacked on like so many others I've played. This is the ONLY city builder I've ever come across in my entire life, since playing the OG Sim City, where if you look up the most "efficient" way to build things, everyone will disagree. Because there are so many different ways the game challenges you, and so many different playstyles in which you can overcome those challenges. It's superb, and the devs are the most engaged and involved with the community of literally any game I've ever seen. They actively take in feedback, accept criticism, and make changes based on what the community says. There is no "we know better than you, we have 150 years of experience" sense, at all. They legit have implemented things where they flat out stated they are skeptical, but the community suggested it so they'll try it. They admit when they're wrong, and revert changes the community ended up being way off on, and every single thought is transparent and open. If you even slightly enjoy city builders, BUY THIS GAME. It is, hands down, the best of the genre, AND has for my money the most open and caring dev team I've ever seen. Every single game company out there should be held to the amazing standard these devs' set, and the best way to do that is with your wallet and with your time.
I'd recommend checking out DotAGE, it's got similar properties, but since it's developed by one person, it's not nearly as polished as AtS. But I agree overall, AtS was the first city builder to hold my interest past the 100 hour mark. Looking forward to the Queen's Hand Challenge mode, too, as it increases the replayability further by making the entire storm cycle into a roguelike mode, not just individual settlements.
I gotta say, I usually end up buying a game because Sean recommends it but plays it differently than I would... I'm a micromanager in these sorts of games, so sometimes watching Sean playing it is torture and only buying the game can make it stahp 😂
Aglets are "common knowledge" because of an episode of Phineas and Ferb dedicated to the word. That's not even a hyperbole, thought the episode started wanted to know the word for "plastic ends of shoe laces". Also, the episode ends in "it was all a dream", because you cannot have main characters of kids show knowing the word Aglets stay cannon. Obviously.
A nice little detail that I never noticed before is why are some things moveable and others not...... Camps are actually caravans they have little wheels on and everything, so move for free. Shelters are basic built from wood so can be moved but a little cost wood to do so. Anything else constructed from complex building materials is permanent.
@31:20, I would like to see Blizzard's commitment to making sure this never happens again. A robust system needs to be in place to help workers. Maybe Blizzard can change, but I want to see that for a few years.
Viceroy is pronounced "vice-roy" (roy as in royal, a viceroy being a monarch's deputy) in general, but you can correctly pronounce it closer to the original French, which sounds like your first pronunciation.
around 45:00 sean is rambling about how this game fixes "problems" with other city builders, but the problems he lists are literally reasons I enjoy city builders, lol. Idk, I like games that are kinda shitty, I guess.
I really enjoyed this in EA. Need to give it a go again now it's officially released. I wonder if it's still a good idea to take at least 20 coal as your starting resource and then make sure it's not burnt for the fire. It will generally allow you to resolve the first glade encounter so you can expand early without too much risk.
@@ryvian Yes, it still works some of the time in the release version but there's a lot more variety in events now so it's not guaranteed to help you out.
I'm a big fan of the game. It makes my PC heat up really quick though! I'd be happy with fewer visuals to balance out my PC heating up, best thing is that it wouldn't take away from the gameplay its just that good!
the game is kinda great :D i'd watch tournaments of this over SC2 anyday, i wonder how some pro-players would deal with the game in full Prestige 20 mode and no pause (:
My favorite part was when he said fuck tavern. Right after chat sticking the 3 point landing of the low hanging fruit back to the aglet. 🤌 Premium content
Thank you for playing, Sean
at 16:00 he tries to annoy a chatter and accidently places the building in the more efficient way so that workers don't have to walk as much. Nice
The moment Sean said 'it is an opportunity of growth for you' just bursted into laughing hahaha
I'm so excited to see Day9 come back to this game. I remember him being blown away when it all "clicked" for him on his first playthrough. Amazing game and worth every penny.

The original video of Day9 playing this taught me so much about game design. Excited for the full release

Aglet is common knnowledge becausee of phinneas and pherb's song about that very word
Sean getting completely red in the face laughing at jokes about aglets, lol.
This game achieves everything it sets out to do. This is what makes it an all time great to me.

We all know about aglets, Sean. Their true purpose is sinister.
Ah, a fellow man of culture 🎩
Loved playing this game, and loved reuniting with your content again. Thank you Sean!
This upload just made my day! Thanks Sean and team 😊

I'm very glad you revisited this because I didn't see it the first time around. Bought this today and played for 11 hours.
I gotta say, I usually end up buying a game because Sean recommends it but plays it differently than I would... I'm a micromanager in these sorts of games, so sometimes watching Sean playing it is torture and only buying the game can make it stahp 😂
Sean sure seemed to hav aglet of fun playing this game.
Also, when someone who repairs shoes eats an apple pie, they are called a cobbler gobbler.
46:20 wait till day9 finds out you can actually do this and make herb gardens on your fields and then tell them not to make roots. xD
Bought it after hearing it comes out of early access. One of the best tutorials I've ever seen.
Absolute gem of a game. Potential GOTY candidate from me.

Played the early access, it's amazing. The atmosphere. *chefs kiss*
This video is peak Day[9]. 😄 Fucking with chat, messing up in hilarious ways, obscure references, and even playing the game at times. Mama mia!
A nice little detail that I never noticed before is why are some things moveable and others not...... Camps are actually caravans they have little wheels on and everything, so move for free. Shelters are basic built from wood so can be moved but a little cost wood to do so. Anything else constructed from complex building materials is permanent.
Usually production buildings and service buildings are the ones that can't move.
This video brought to you by the word: Aglet.
I played a few of the earlier versions for a good 2 weeks non stop. Can't wait to rip into the 1.0 version
the aglits bit made me literally LOL ... good stuff .. thnx XD
@31:20, I would like to see Blizzard's commitment to making sure this never happens again. A robust system needs to be in place to help workers. Maybe Blizzard can change, but I want to see that for a few years.
"this game is about judgment and not calculations"
Me, a proverbial low-int high-wis dummy: "Say no more"
Day9 is like being in a relationship every time I see him I end up spending more money than I wanted.
@36:02, yes lol
Being pro beaver is always great lol
Aglets are an item in Terraria which is why gamers know of them.
Viceroy is pronounced "vice-roy" (roy as in royal, a viceroy being a monarch's deputy) in general, but you can correctly pronounce it closer to the original French, which sounds like your first pronunciation.
Why does the narrator sound exactly ilke John Goodman XD
I love this game so much

You must construct additional polygons

This is part of the devs suggested meta
@@ryvian Yes, it still works some of the time in the release version but there's a lot more variety in events now so it's not guaranteed to help you out.
I've been on this game for a lot of its Early Access, it's just an awesome game.
I'm a big fan of the game. It makes my PC heat up really quick though! I'd be happy with fewer visuals to balance out my PC heating up, best thing is that it wouldn't take away from the gameplay its just that good!
It's (one of many) Unity issue that is just shitty to work around. If you have a mid-high-end card, my advice is actually to turn it DOWN a bit.
Why is team liquids logo a horse? They could convert the horde into a wave or something. Similar shape.
I really hope this game gets a console release.
Let's go Liquid!!
I fukken love this game.
Saw the game on steam and I was like hmmm, which of my youtube subscriptions would be likely to have played some... Safe to say my guess was right :D
Let's gooo!!!
Nice aglet bro
This kinda looks like a more accessible dwarf fortress, and I'm very excited to try it out.
“That game seems neat, maybe I’ll try it some time”
Sees Day9 loves it
“I have to own this game day 1”
Quit making me spend money 😭
31:10 Day9 dailies back when?
Is it really that good? I tried it a little bit and it seemed so basic I didn't keep going.. maybe should give it another go?
Jerky, beers and unseasoned plants. Did he just make the british cuisine?
This game rules
Stupid question, where's ep 1-4? Uploaded out of order? Are they on Twitch?
They're on youtube.
@@artfulscruff Oh, 10 months ago. ruclips.net/p/PLgmCLtUkEutJ1IyyJ2TBRGhpKfB33OW0s
They were made awhile ago when it was in early access. But yes on RUclips
He originally played the game last spring, I think in April, so you'll need to scroll through 8 months of videos or so.
Unfortunately Sean's villagers are all Millennials and none of them can afford to have ANY houses
Hey man
Isnt there more races than 3?
5 in total and you get 3 at random in each run.
@@progste thanks
the game is kinda great :D i'd watch tournaments of this over SC2 anyday, i wonder how some pro-players would deal with the game in full Prestige 20 mode and no pause (:
In first, glad to see some excitement
i pooped
I'd recommend skipping this video and go to Day9's next one. He barely plays the game in this one.
My favorite part was when he said fuck tavern.
Right after chat sticking the 3 point landing of the low hanging fruit back to the aglet. 🤌 Premium content
