About Diplomacy is not an Option:
You were born a feudal lord. Sounds good, right? But you're bored of hunting, executions and tournaments. Even of feasts with beautiful maidens. The only dream left - your castle surrounded by hordes of enemies. You would waste no time on negotiation. This is your chance to show'em who is in charge.

Hey drae a little tip is to get some watch towers!! They help you see a lot farther and gets rid of the darkness and they are cheap
what difficulty is he playing on?
that would be usefull since trebuchets shoot this far
@@Neimit there isn't any big difference in difficulty except starting forces and a little more resources to start off
You can also plant trees ruclips.net/video/GbU24J3qoNQ/видео.html
I was just thinking this. Either a structure or just some basic units to scout the incoming forces would help a lot
7:20 "I don't think we lost anybody!"
Jim the Healer's body is right beside the group...
Yeah, no one liked him anyway I guess.
I was just gonna say the same thing.
I came here just to make this comment. The disrespect lol
@@slugerknot So rude. eh?!?! :D
Healers always get the disrespect 😔
@@grelkie it's so sad!
7:20 "I don't think we lost anybody! Good job guys!" Meanwhile Bob the grave keep dragging off the healer he put on the front lines "sure king whatever you say"
not sure how long he play but at 11:56 he still think he got 4 healer´s
In the top right of the defense tab there is a watchtower that has a massive view radius; place them down beside your walls to see the enemy sooner
Imagine calling the police and they just send a catapult that starts lobbing boulders into the side of your house trying to kill a robber
Stop resisting...
Send in the horse men
"The robber is not dying!"
"Fine. Bring in the trebuchet!"
They could have used a catapult at Chernobyl.
Thank you for the video of our game!
Drae says "as quickly as possible"
3 times in this video
1:38
3:03
9:30
10:07 "as much damage as possible" (not counted above, but noted)
I'm amazed it's so few :D
Maybe you should also count how many times he says "utilize" as well
@@ducky2379 Haha
You need an obviously counter.
@@susanna6462 lol, this is a good one too :D
Hey Drae, instead of fighting them in the open, maybe you can funnel them using walls so that you only have to attack a few of them at a time and not get surrounded
from what I'd seen they'll just start smacking the walls, it's better to sally forth like drea is doing and keep your ranged units on the walls and out of the way.
Oh, I thought Drae could make another section with walls and leave an empty space where you would put the gate. I thought this would make the AI go "ooh look an easier pathway to destroy his castle"
@@thatdumbteen6812 From what Real Civil Engineer did he tried to make a seperate wall but it was half way complete, you would expect the AI to find the path of least resistance but the AI seems to be much simpler atm, they more or less stay on the same pathing until they start to blob around and then get stuck attacking a wall or whatever it is they are doing, or if they come upon a wall they just start to smack it :/ and you can't really seperate walls either because arrows are blocked by the walls so you can't create a "buffer" wall either.
@@thatdumbteen6812 yeah they won't follow path of least resistance - you can pretty much just put up a half wall on the first few days and when it's in their way they'll stop and attack it
Tip, hold down Alt to see healthbars of everything. It helps you spot out enemies and get a clearer view of their size
Just some small tips:
Upgrade your market for 3 gold, which increases the revenue from trade. Fair trade rate, means more resources for less.
Second: Instead of simply deleting your lumberjacks, you can either extend their range (as on almost all buildings) but as well select which area they need to harvest.
By doing this you don't have to move your lumberjacks etc around, which saves you resources (from T2 and T3 lumberjack), however it will increase travel times.
Third:
Make 2 layers of towers, if you use the big ones, you can put 24 archers / crossbowmen on "the frontline" of your walls, with either 4 catapults or 1 treb behind them, to increase the damage output on a single area.
Lastly: Put a wall infront of your towers, ranged can shoot over them and they will protect your towers for longer (Empty walls, manned towers behind them)
I am really enjoying this series. Thanks for sharing with us Drae!!
with how drae's kingdom is setup I'm imagining him building something similar to the walls in Attack on Titan
One thing I found useful from playing they are billions was doing a multi layered walled city. Makes it so you have walls to fall back on.
There is a button on buildings to increase their effective range, so you dont have to rebuild them as often. You can also decrease the range afterwards if you so desire :) The Icons look like stock graphs
woaah fast i am fast
the trebs are AMAZING! loved em in my game.. range and damage is great.. put the HUGE towers up and put them on them.
7:19 "i dont think we lost anybody" as a poor soul walks over and picks up his dead healer on the right side.
Drae: my 4 healers are still doing great
4th dead healer in the cemetery: thanks i guess
They should make it like bloons tower defense where you can set what the catapults target first, like you can make them shoot bigger targets, targets in front, targets in the back. I think that’d add a lot to the combat
That would be good, same for all ranged units actually.
You are really funny, excellent commentary! Also, press ALT to see health bars which can be used to see enemies in forests more easily
Drae bring back besiege I miss seeing you play that man 😩🙏🏽
Lol only now have I though about it but I’ve been here since the besiege days. That was 7 years ago. One thing I can say is he has been very consistent I love ur videos my dude looking forward to another 7 years off quality content ❤️
this game is amazing and i dont actually like these types of games for some reason but keep up the great work
Me too. But it’s definitely enjoyable when you have someone like drae plays it
@@bobtheagent9087 I actually downloaded the demo because I don't got the money to buy the game, it's really interesting in its own way to be honest, would be on my list to buy the game if I could
Literally just started playing, but one thing I've been using is the "increase work radius," or something to that effect. I noticed you would delete buildings if there was "no more wood in the area." If you extend the radius they will gather all of the wood from the further forests.
Soon as you dropped I clicked immediately
Please continue playing this game
Drae a solution to your tree problem is putting down a forester that plants trees. Idk in which part of the menu it is but this way you won't have to keep expanding outward
one clever thing you can do is is build a straight line wall with a tower at the end shooting off from walls, allowing you to have extra reach way further out from your main wall, while still allowing your archers safe access to it
✨Its a masterpiece✨
As someone who has decades of experience in the "Castle Defense" genre, I'll tell you, you should definitely build more layers of walls, and you should also build them further out from your main base so you have more land to build on.
arrows will actually be blocked by walls, plus I dunnow how walls work if placed side by side, another youtube ran into that issue with the same idea in mind.
More of this series please
His wall is like wall sina and you cant tell me otherwise
Someone mentioned this; Using natural obstacles and walls, create a funnel choke point. Don't gate it or the AI may attack the entire wall. Usually if there is no gate the AI will path to the opening in the wall. This was a trick in the early game of Ages Of Empires. You could defend it with a limited army ... at least it worked until they improved the AI.
Bro this looks right up my ally bro. I love medieval and other stuff and I study war tactics for fun (I know weird, right?). Also Drae if you did put walls in the outer side that would be smart as there would well obviously be two lines of defense and you wouldn’t have to worry about losing stuff like homes or farms.
try age of empires 3 or 4 trust me there this exact thing but this game that drae is playing is like a copy
@@bunyen4695 Will do. Thanks for the recommendation
I absolutely love this game! Reminds me of things I used to play as a kid. Keep up the good work drae
This is like medieval starcraft
"We haven't lost anybody !" *lost healers*
Drae: I have depleted the tree resource.
Me: You mean tree-source?
I'll see myself out.
Since your going for a defensive strategy you should build those walls, starting out with wood then upgrading and put more trebuches around the castle walls. Might want to grab those crossbowman.
Build the watch towers so you can see farther and not get caught off guard so easily. Build more houses so you can fill all your walls with crossbowman as well.
I've just caught covid so I thank you for this gem
Same
Let me guess you were vaccinated and it didn't do shit to protect you.
@@sumtenwitty6021 way to make it about you lol
@@sumtenwitty6021 Ain't no need for that talk.
@@depresespres4214 I'm just pointing out the obvi mate, you don't have to care about me if you don't need too, since I didn't make it about me in a comment that consists of one sentence.
more more videoss its so fun thank you
Plz play Instruments of Destruction
New intro idea how are you everybody Dre here
drae gives off heavy graystillplays vibes sometimes
I came to know about this game because of your gameplay and I instantly fell in love with it. I bought it just a few mins after release and it's the best 7 bucks I've spent recently lmao
7 bucks? That’s a steal for this game.
@@alkestos It probably costs much more in the US, but the cost (when converted to USD) is around 7 in India
@@ZVEKOfficial great deal for you whatever the case :)
02:48 Eddie Izzard "Ahh, but do you have a flaaaag?"
I bought the game instantly on release and have been addicted since then :D Such a nice game
Have you played Stronghold? I think this game takes lots of inspirations from Stronghold and you may like that too.
@@gz6616 Yes I played Stronghold, really good game too, but I adore the blocky graphics in Diplomacy
You should totally try frostpunk if you haven't already. Similar mechanics, minus combat. The law system makes it interesting when progressing.
Hyped for tier 3
really lookin forward to the next mon bazou vid
knowing a pretty good amount trebuchets, i can't lie it is so painful seeing the game say a trebuchet has low accuracy. They were the literal pinnacle of pre-cannon siege warfare, vastly superior to catapults in every way, especially accuracy
"Shit I missed" Jimmy
"Don't worry, the wind blew the boulder a wee bit, that and I think the treb didn't get calibrated correctly, better luck next time" said John
Trebuchets were technically a type of catapult. The thing we have in mind when we think "catapult" is often called an onager or sometimes a mangonel, but the last one is also a term for another type of catapult which was basically a trebuchet without counterweight which was operated by manpower. It was also known as a traction trebuchet. The onager was actually not really used after the 6th century, so its use pretty much declined with the end of the Western Roman Empire. The stone was also a lot smaller than we think, usually smaller than a soccer ball. So it didn't have a AOE effect, it was just very good at killing people from far away. The typical "big spoon"-design was even earlier, the Romans actually started to use slings at the end of the arm to hold the stone quite quickly, because it was far more powerful. And we only think of it as a medieval thing, because it's so often depicted in videogames, movies ect. in this context. It was really more a thing of the Ancient period. Early and high medieval people usually used traction trebuchets until those were replaced by actual trebuchets around 1200. There is of course the possibility that onagers were sometimes still used in medieval times, just like trebuchets were and are still sometimes used in modern times. But compared onagers were extremely poor in accuracy, they didn't shoot very far compared to later siege engines and were also less powerful. Using a onager during medieval times would've been seen like using a bow and a sword in WW2 (I look at you, Jack Curchill). But on the other side, onager-like mechanism were used during ww1 to throw grenades into enemy trenches.
Can you fix that wooden fence it’s kinda bothering me😭😭
Nice :D
Definitely continue this series
I love you video so much you make me smile
I hope this is gonna be a series
I'd really like to see some more Going Medievil, but I'll take some of this until then ✨
Yeah baby!!!! This is what I’ve been waiting for..WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Those spearman like 300 army of spartans
this game is amazing
Love this game, need more!!!
AYE DRAE!
Nice
Little tip you can increase the radius of how far the can go to get resources I have this game and did that and I had plenty of resources
Turn it into a REAL tower defense, build a maze out of walls and towers, make it open clear way to your castle, so enemies would go straight into it, and put archers on the walls. =)
Nice job! Can't wait for the next one
Drea really the funnest guy i know this man makes any game look fun
I think there are some weird bots here...
Yeah, Drae has the ability to stop it but he chooses not to
I need more!
I need to see more of this game
I Love this series
Welp, good luck, lmao. Seems like the waves are getting drastically bigger.
Drae use watch towers to increase your vision! love the vids
Would love to see more of this. Very entertaining!!!
I honestly don't know if it's intentional not having the towers to give extra vision, but having them would help a lot in the waves, because you could see the wave way further ahead, and would make it easier to estimate the size of the wave
You can increase the radius of lumbermills etc instead of tearing them down
would be dumb to do that though as they still have to walk miles to trees, better off moving and rebuilding.
Drae, your “trebuchet” aren’t trebuchet, they are catapults, it is better and manpower and resource wise to produce and move catapults than use trebuchets which trebuchets are better placed static behind something like a wall or on a wall. I guess you can say resource and manpower wise, to class both, trebuchets are better for defending while catapults are better at sieges. The only time trebuchets are more okay for sieging is when there is time to move the resources to construct them to fire from a far distance away at a fortification or stronghold or maybe at a camp, but at that point it would be more resource, manpower, and time conservative to use catapults even if it is at the cost of range, at least catapults require less resources and have the potential to be mobile depending on if wheels are put on the frame of a catapult to allow for movement. The upside of trebuchets would be that they are larger meaning that they allow for larger projectiles to be lobbed at enemies and depending on velocity, mass, and weight would give the results on how far a projectile is lobbed. But overall, if the projectile between a catapult and a trebuchet is the same, then a trebuchet produces more power, speed due to power, and distance.
Edit: did see at the end when you actually started to build some actual trebuchets, good on you for placing them on a wall.
Watchtowers! You should check them out 😉
When you tell troops to go to a certain location the arrow is which way they are facing if you hold down the click you can change that if it's like most games
Great game to watch play it more often
To get gold you have to build a market and trade extra resources for it.
I love this game and your gameplay so much!
Thanks ! ! ! Nice :)!
I absolutely love this games premise, I think it's slightly overpriced but let's see if they come up with new content and expanded regions. More importantly would be factions/races.
Is this just they are billions, in 3D?
arent you able to build a forester to plant trees?
and I think you should consider building watchtowers to help with me seeing how big the wave is and get a slight better idea on what direction the peasents are coming from
Build more archers in beginning and use a few spear men to kite the enemy towards ur archers if u already didn't kno the tactic
I would love if you played this a lot more 🙂
Loving it!!
This is fun
more of this please.
He doesn't notice one heeller died
Watch towers gives you more visibility to the map😁
So wait, we have to rely on lakes and mountains for chokepoints? The forests are not impassible?
STRONG HOLD 😭
they came in from the weird angle lol
Make another ring of wall connecting all the next natural barriers and play trebuchets every couple of places.
Bit late to the trial myself, practicing in sandbox mode, it seems most things exept perhaps the research tree is pretty straightforward
Drae i know might not be the kind of game you normally play but i would really like to see you play project zomboid!
This game is very similar to Kingdom and Castles
Hey Drae build the watch tower's, and build better obelisks to get lower crystal costs/longer ability/spells uptime and try the special troops/army summoning spell they are better value per cost if you need quick troops for a set amount of time that is indicated through the blue bar under the regular green health bar of them.
Hi
Put watch tower around for more visibillity
