@@Jude-l8p Yeah and in this map, it was basically just California and the East Coast. Still entertaining. Although mind you while that's true with China, it's not even true in India's case. I went to see the top 150 cities in the world after this because I was curious and the US is actually on that list more often than India is. India is still very rural, two-thirds of the population lives in rural areas.
The two Indiana cities being stuck behind the frontlines in the rust belt alliance, I was sure they would lose quietly, but Indianapolis going from one of the smallest remaining cities to suddenly exploding and taking everything was crazy
As being someone from Indy, I am so glad and grateful that my city astonishingly won this game. Thanks Drew! This will probably be one of my most memorable videos I watch from this channel.
As someone from Albuquerque, when we got conquered by Lubbock, I started rooting for Montgomery and Denver, because those two were putting pressure on Lubbock. I was glad to see Denver defeat Lubbock, and now I can rest knowing that the Albuquerque Saga had a good ending
LET'S GO INDYYYYY! Indiana has always been an early out in the state battle royales, but seeing Indy sweep the cities more than makes up for all of it!
Wow! I'm surprised Spokane, Washington lasted so long! I'm proud Indianapolis took out Henderson, which took out us. Because there were none from Montana and maybe the Dakotas, we got a lot of land in the beginning and stood our ground for years to come. Any fellow Spokanites feel the same?
The Midwest is Americas agricultural and manufacturing backbone. People don't often consider us but we know we keep this nation running. We could lose all of New York, DC, LA in a war and not even flinch here in the Midwest.
@@pa28cfi Hm, that's true. We don't really need DC it's just a city-state. The only reason most people consider it is because it's the capital of the U.S. So you are right about losing DC.
Agriculturally the central valley in California has it locked down. Without us there would likely be a food crisis, but I’m not taking away from the Midwest we would be equally screwed without you guys
@@taylorbritton618 yeah but you don't have to go to the capital as a nornal cotizen, that actually means indi is as equidistant as it could, doesn't it? U am not american tho, just curious
Indianapolis clearly had the spirit of their native with the skill of Willie Mays and tenacity of Ty Cobb on their side - Oscar Charleston, one of the greatest pre-integration players.
Yes, Dallas by itself is a moderately sized city. But including the surrounding cities in its metropolitan area, it’s definitely one of the absolute biggest
The Dallas-Fort Worth Area is called the Metroplex. It is a complex of several metropolitan areas (200 towns and cities). The Metroplex is the 4th largest metro area in the United States with 7.8 million people. Thats more than Houston or Arizona.
We (Indianapolis) won by surrounding ourselves with allies for most of the game so we would t have to fight anyone, then by the end we still had all our money left
Stockton was not named based off of Stockholm. It was named after Robert Stockton who was a decorated soldier and played a major role in capturing California during the Spanish-American war.
Ohioan here. Just want to say I'm proud of what the Midwest Alliance was able to achieve. I feel like the loss of Chicago was probably a bitter loss for the alliance and it all fell apart. Luckily one of our members turned the defeat into an opportunity.
For those who are wondering what Newport News is, it is in southeastern Virginia and was named after Christopher Newport. I live in Hampton Roads, which is Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Hampton, Newport News, Suffolk, Portsmouth, and Williamsburg. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
As a Lubbock native I was so weirdly proud of this sim. Even though we lost to Denver we basically single handedly took out Texas rival states new Mexico and more importantly Oklahoma. Damn Montgomery really had to ruin the Texas Louisiana Alliance
Even as a non-American I am astounded by how little Drew knows about US geography. How does he not know Newport News? Why does he mispronounce Spokane so often? What is going on?😭
Newport News is the 140th largest city in the USA, so that’s like asking a European to know something about Vinnutsaya, Ukraine. And Spokane is pronounced correctly in this vid. It rhymes with can, not cane
SPOKANE REPRESENT!!!! I was soooo happy to see how far we got. Conquering Seattle was great, and if Fairchild AFB was a factor I imagine it was a significant one. This helped my East v West WA in war debate. Thanks!!
I'd love to see the same video but on a world map. Maybe you could even bring it up to 200 cities?
Yea we need it
It would basically be just China and India though.
@@Jude-l8p Yeah and in this map, it was basically just California and the East Coast. Still entertaining.

Yes, this can't be just left only for the US.
Europe maybe for now

Indianapolis is king.
Definitely would’ve preferred my hometown Fort Wayne, but at least the home state came out on top
I live In Indianapolis and I was cheering them on the entire time
I love Indiana 😊
@@lennongeyerfrom Indiana here would’ve preferred Fort Wayne it’s closer to where I live but very good for Indianapolis nevertheless
As someone from the Rustbelt, I find it funny how the AI somehow formed the exact borders of the region
Exactly, I'm still surprised the Rustbelt states/cities won - we almost never win.
Milwaukee remade Wisconsin
"The Midwest alliance just completely broke down" - Must be football season.
I’m happy Milwaukee made top 10 it was the only other midwestern state other than Indianapolis

Me too.

Fellow Hoosiers unite
same honestly
I believe you speak for all Hoosiers
As a person who was born and lives currently in Indianapolis. I’m proud to finally win something
You guys got a pretty great nba team rn

Dang. Almost had a Kansas victory for once in one of these battle royales, but Wichita just couldn't hold on 😔

Fort Wayne did pretty good. RIP Midwest Alliance

I live in the Midwest also, but if you think that losing NY, DC, and LA wouldn’t affect the Midwest very much your smoking crack rocks
Well, we might need DC because that is the countries capital, and without the capital all havoc will break loose. Causing this country to fall.

From the midwest, glad a midwest city won
Indianapolis might be a good spot for the american capital tho, maybe more to the south
About 80% of the USA lives within a days drive of Indy, the highest percent in the nation
Crossroads of America
@@taylorbritton618 yeah but you don't have to go to the capital as a nornal cotizen, that actually means indi is as equidistant as it could, doesn't it?
U am not american tho, just curious
@@unanec Many people visit the capital for vacation and such. At least in DC, there are a lot of things to do and see, from the government to museums
@@taylorbritton618 yeah but that can remain even tho it loses the natuon seat, doesn't it?
Look even though Wichita didn’t win can we appreciate how hard they fought being in the middle of the map plus they had the best last stand
Indiana wins. Bobby Knight, "The General," led the charge to win this war in one of his final acts before passing away today. RIP a legend.
Another weird thing I can say about being from Lubbock. He did retire at Texas tech. His son really drug the program into the abyss though
As someone not from the US, this was very entertaining.
The crossroads of America, makes sense honestly
15:32 Denver lookin mighty sus i have to say
Indianapolis clearly had the spirit of their native with the skill of Willie Mays and tenacity of Ty Cobb on their side - Oscar Charleston, one of the greatest pre-integration players.
I'm from Indiana and was rooting for Indianapolis the whole time. Never thought they'd pull it off lol
I think that is the first time I've seen my hometown win anything on this channel
Fr
As a Hoosier, I see this as an absolute win
Indianapolis went ham fr they almost died to Toledo
Happy to see My Rust Belt Brother Win this fight!
Let's go Rustbelt
As a person from Indianapolis i very happy we won finally i always wanted Indiana to do good in one of his vids
We finally won! Indy making the Hoosier state proud.

Indianapolis doing what india could never in this game 🥺 i am happy

Chattanooga getting capped by Atlanta is absolutely no surprise lmao

Cincinnati was the final capital city!!! Indianapolis moved their capitol to Cincy at the 17:40 mark.
17:22 the greatest comeback in history started here
The indy 500 and brickyard 400 have spread far and wide
We (Indianapolis) won by surrounding ourselves with allies for most of the game so we would t have to fight anyone, then by the end we still had all our money left
Hoosier Daddy?
Never would have thought my hometown would have won! Let's go Indy🏁
For the first time in my life, I am proud that my city finally won something.
The Midwest will always stand together we are severely underestimated
Drew should go to Zamora, I went there last year and it was absolutely gorgeous
As someone from Indianapolis I find it funny because we never make it past the beginning in these simulators.
As someone from Indiana, this makes me happy
as someone whose lived in indiana for all my life, i am proud
Ik 🎉
tip: if there is a burning city on the map that means they changed the capital
For not including Hawaii and Alaska in so many 50 state videos, you should do one with just all Hawaii and Alaska cities battle royale
Happy to see a Wisconsinite city last to the top ten
I’m from Indiana glad we caught the dub

Let’s go Indianapolis!!!!!!! 21:21
W israel
Finally indiana won something
Montgomery is doing so good because family sticks together
I am here to collect tribute for your new emperor, Larry Bird

YEAH INDIANA WE TAKE THESE WE TAKE THESE
Stockton was not named based off of Stockholm. It was named after Robert Stockton who was a decorated soldier and played a major role in capturing California during the Spanish-American war.
POV: You realize how Las Vegas was to Henderson like how The Gambia was to Senegal
The Gambla in this case
You know what, I’ll take my hometown Mesa taking over Arizona, getting a triple kill, and making top 20. Good show
you should do this with the three biggest cities of every state it may be a bit much but montana needs some love to! good video tho
The capital of my state Indiana won , this is literally the first time I’ve seen anything related to Indiana win the game
Since usually Ohio or something like that just destroys Indiana
17:28 I live in Toledo, Brazil. Now I know who I'm rooting for

Texas went down SO FAST 😭 RIP Houston, Austin, and Irving.
As an Indy native this is the best video ever, time to shut down the channel to keep the crown forever.
Bravo to my favorite southern City Huntsville for surviving for so long
I'm from Lubbock so seeing them mentioned so often and watching them dominate much larger cities was VERY entertaining to watch!

Did not expect Wichita to be in the final 3 even if it didn’t last long
Love my hometown Indy!!!
Did not expect my home city to win lol
I can't believe Milwaukee made it to the final 9! I thought we would fall immediately to either Chicago or the Twin Cities. RIP the Midwest Alliance.
F in the chat for the Las Vegas-Henderson alliance
Hell yeah my state won that. finnally can be proud to be a hoosier
As someone who lives in Indianapolis wow.
