Him missing the melee attack 4 times in a row during the tutorial provides me with a sense of calm, knowing he is still the egg we know and love
His sense of timing is impeccable, everytime looking away just at the right moment.
finally a game that makes the egg no longer scrambled
I have watched this man play a nerdy virtual board game where he has to calculate using a real formula the fuel it takes to travel between planets including adjustments for lift off, weight and ship size, whilst moving resources and people around efficiently before the galaxy is consumed by the void. I think he must have suffered brain damage because all this man is good for now is - coin goes in hole.
He should have stuck with those games
@@JJJW9W9W Yeah, it's really weird. And I'm talking about long period of time. I usually watch him with long breaks (sometimes years long), and he always given me the impression of a significantly smarter person than my current impression of him. I still think he has it in him, just that his adaptability to new games became worse, from bad to terrible. Hell, I remember him playing EU4, don't remember how good, but that's not a game that you can casually play for at least several hours without using your brain.
Nah that NL is dead and buried for the most part. I actually think his sponsored videos are the best ones now, because he is forced to pay attention and work out the game for so long.
@@Jason-ol1ty Agreed we do love a sponsorship. I think maybe if we could see chat we'd be able to see into the madness and it might be a little more engaging
My man's medieval combat takes are gonna give me a hemorrhage. Also, archer? Please. This guy is built like a pikeman.
"please stand still and hold this long stick in your hands. this is all we want from you for the remainder of the battle."
@@Renegen1 No way NL would be able to hold the long stick for a long time AND be expected to stab someone with it.
*wheeze* I cant anymore xDDDD
Okay but he was kinda on-point with the bit about high ground, no? I think there was a Skallagrim video about it
@@ValeBridges It seems pretty situational, but stabbing down from above is just mechanically easier than trying to stab up. Seems less salient with light sabers, but Obi did chop off Anakin's arms and legs shortly after delivering that line, so what do I know?
"We could build a wall and make the archers pay for it" is an absolute bar
Him saying he would main bow.
I'm like, mr. we both wear glasses, that aint gonna fly, pick a spear or something
Seriously. Show me the back muscles, NL. Show me your grip strength.
Mr Peloton would be the one running on the hamster wheel to raise and lower the drawbridge
@@Moog226They were based for using the hamster wheel as a way to maneuver a crane
@@Moog226 With those quads he's developing could just go along the light cavalry.... but on foot. Give this man a lance!
you’ve clearly never seen Nu Sensei
The watch nl play -> buy game to play it better effect got me good here.
Yeah - he really IS «the guy from the ads»…
Made me put 3 games on my wishlist, and I bought the 4th one lmao. Surprisingly, I did better than NL
Yep, watching him fail on Wildfrost for weeks on end made me buy it. Confirmed, he was trash at the game.
on god
"I think Hannibal Barca was probably a better general than I would be" Now that's a hot take I've never heard before
He'd definitely be a crossbow Andy. This mfer sitting in a domed helm cranking a damn bolt.
So true
He's DOMED?!?
Who up crankin they bolt rn?
Bro, if Leonardo Davinci could hook a windlass up to a stationary bike then NL would be a oneman siege engine for sure.
@@Tehbestestevasss omg me
I watched this game being developed. cool to see NL play it!
NL built like a pikeman. The archer cope is astronomical.
This game goes hard. Hope we see a lot more of it.
They should invent a baby crib for adults with spinning shapes
I don’t think NL could deal with rotating shapes in his place of rest
If you're in a swordfight, you want the high ground. The ground protects you from blows from below, and puts the enemy's head at the right spot to hit, and gives you a gravity boost to the mass of your swing. While they have to swing high and lose all their power just to glance off your greaves.
This doesn't apply to lightsaber battles, because lightsabers don't have mass, will cut through the ground, and you lose your feet.
Okay, but does it apply when you're on solid (high) ground and your opponent is standing on a small platform in the middle of a lava river though?
@@FriendB It doesn't actually make sense that they're fighting with lightsabers at all. Anakin had already gone full darkside at that point, he should have just choked him out from across the field and force pushed him into the lava. He was stronger and had range. Lightsabers and doing flips added nothing.
@@williambarnes5023 It added nothing... except style points!
Which he of course immediately lost along with all his remaining limbs
@@williambarnes5023i don't think anakin can just force choke another force user no? obi wan would use his own force powers to negate it
@@litapd311 I think the stronger force user would get the win in that situation, overpowering the other. Anakin was Space Jesus with an ultra high midichlorian count. He should be able to choke out an other force user except maybe a Sith.
his ancient combat takes are insane, this is some top tier content
Ryan I really love you checking out these smaller roguelite games and hope you have a great weekend :)
"Finally a strategy game for adults with undiagnosed ADHD" 🤣🤣🤣
I remember the days where NL would get sent too many Kati Mundi figurines. Love the banter.

I wish he played Kingdom Two Crowns. It's a vastly superior game compared to Kingdom Eighties
@@tangyspy so true, kingdom two crows has a juicy early/midgame
Woo! Good work Jonas Tyroller and Paul Shnepf. So happy to see your hard work finally realized into this beautiful release.
Wouldn't mind seeing more of this, commentary is on point and game looks hella cute
Loving the new content! Lowell's Dunkins are also identical to Downtown Boston's fwiw
NL casually admitting he would commit multiple types of perfidy and desertion if he was on the defending side of a siege
Short answer: Having the high ground is better, even in a 1-v-1 melee fight, because it takes less energy to block (shield or not), you can use gravity to assist in your swing, and on average, blows to the legs are less lethal than blows to the head. So against a perfectly matched opponent, you save more energy from the high ground, and this wins more times than it loses.
Long answer: I think the reason having the high ground is better in a fight is because it is harder to protect your head from the lower position. If you have a shield, you must now raise it up higher to block the attacks, and this means spending more energy to lift the shield. Where if you have the high ground, you just set the shield down.
But let's say you are in a fight without a shield. Yes, you can swing at their legs easier, but blocking with the sword from the high ground is as easy as letting your sword fall while still holding onto it. This is a little awkward in the hand, but doable. Secondly, a blow to the legs is on average less lethal than a blow to the head, so assuming you are fighting an equally matched opponent, if you have the high ground, you live more times than if you had the low ground.
And lastly, if you have the high ground, you can apply more force into your swing than you can from the low ground. This is because from the high ground, you have even more assistance from gravity than normal, and from the low ground, you are fighting against gravity to attack. This means more energy spent, and in a perfectly even match, this means the high ground wins in the long run. Think of trying to cut down a tree branch that is on the tree at head level, vs splitting a log that is set at waist level. One is far easier. And because there is extra power behind the attack from the high ground, this means you need to put more strength behind blocking to stop the blow from hitting. This wears you out faster, and thus, in the long run, you lose.
High ground in martial combat is about leverage and advantage, not about targeting. Swinging up against a hill limits the swings you have available and tires you out faster. Swinging down is much easier, gives you more options, and allows you to knock your enemy off balance easier.
Been having a fun time with this one, glad to see NL pick it up! Very well priced also
i dont often get to watch an entire game get developed, then see it have a successful release, love to see it (jonas tyroller has been posting devlogs for this game for a few months)
Seen this game on a few other channels and been hoping for it to show up here. This is gonna be a fun one.
Still hoping he'll play Wall World.
The high ground you have gravity on your side. From below you will have to raise your arms higher than your opponent tiring you out faster
yea you just have to defend your legs while your opponent will tire themselves out, it's like the animal fight discussion. the guy on top might not have a clear advantage, but the bottom person has no win condition
you can also swing harder downwards compared to upwards
Pogging tf up with all this activity. NL back and in ultra pog form

thank you for the timestamp i was looking so hard between the videos to find where he did the bit
was waiting on the "its good to be the king" line - F
Does anyone know where to find the animation he talks about here?

NL: Better general than the Roman general for Tuetoberg, worse general than the Roman general for Cannæ. Confirmed.
Mathematically the low ground is better in a sword fight because you can reach their ankles before they can reach your head
I've heard a bunch of stories from cops who live near the Canadian border about mounties just doing crazy stuff and they don't follow laws or rules.
Tries to think of generals who haven't been cancelled... names Guderian as the second name

The thing about Hannibal is that he basically inted
video game music is really good in general so to say any one game is the best is pretty hard.
Grew up in Boston. I love Dunks but it is terrible compared to anywhere else. I had Tim Hortons in Ohio and thought it was terrible but I've also heard that the ones in Canada are better.
Oh this is quite nice.
That Tim Horton's story is so sad
Came back after years, stay because the Forged in Fire ref.
27:00 god no, that's horrific to imagine. A human life being reduced to that is genuinely awful, what the fuck.
Nl would play protoss

A game the Egg is cracked at? And it's not first month pack 1 of Super Auto Pets?
Zergs were the best, only for those scythe fellas that cloak.
Why in god's name would you station your melee units outside of tower range in a tower defense game.
Terran was by far the best race in SC. no crazy gene mutation aliens, no hyper advanced civilization just a bunch of dudes down to die for their people and a whole lotta fire power. Besides nothing instills fear more than hearing "nuclear launch detected" and having no idea where the ghost targeting you is.
"down to die for their people" cough neural resocialization cough
wake up honey rogue tower meets kingdom just dropped
On god, mechanic inflation is a serious issue. I was watching the game reveal trailers at the various e3-type conventions this year, and there was a survival game that had 16 different ways in which your character could be unhealthy. Game devs need to learn that more mechanics does not make something better. There's a reason why charge blade is one of the least used weapons in monster hunter.
Isn't this basically just Kingdom Two Crowns?
I was a protoss and zerg guy

You know, that thing that is objectively popular and successful in a system that rewards merit is actually bad.
Haven't we seen this game before?
maybe you're thinking of rogue tower? these games he plays do tend to blend together.
yes he played it before, in an earlier form of early access i think
@@mrwebzoneno he definitely played this game before on the channel during early access
@@litapd311 do you have a link? I don't remember him playing it but i very well could have just skipped a week of uploads and missed it.

Who let my wife write the tutorial in this game?
the lowground high ground argument is daft as hell
cause yes while you attacking his undefended ankles. you're also attacking and not defending. assuming you're both of equal skill he gonna be attacking too. at your upper body. while you swinging at fucking toesies. and not blocking. and IF you're blocking. you gain a whole lot more power swinging downwards. then you do swinging upwards. there's literally no advantage to low ground in sword to sword combat. i know this from years of experience playing king of the hill as a kid with a big stick
NL criticizing Hannibal of Carthage is Cicero propaganda at work (jk)
Lets gooooo
cool
Best played with a controller
As an Australian it actually amazes me that people in NA argue over Starbucks/Dunkin'/Timmy's coffee.
It's all shit.
I travelled around BC (mainly Vancouver) for 2 weeks and didn't have a single coffee from any cafe/coffee shop that was even remotely enjoyable 😅

To answer your question at the beginning of the video, I think there’s a few reasons why the high ground is superior
1. Biggest reason is energy consumption. it takes a lot less energy to swing down then keep your blade up. Your opponent will waste their precious energy far before you ever get tired.
2. Like you said, headshots are important, and on the high ground it’s much easier to get them. And while you can dodge them, that takes up a lot of energy, energy that could be used on other much more valuable things.
Game looks fun. Banter was solid. However, the amount of "One-Guy" that derails the game play is staggering.
I think northernlion is failing to remember that napoleon was considered a “revolutionary battle tactician” simply because he had his guys not move in a straight line
Never mind. I just got to 13:39 and he has them in a straight line, perhaps napoleon was a genius.
Let’s be honest if you were alive back then you wouldn’t have thought about it
Yeah, the high ground thing never really made sense to me (in the Star War's, not in general). Like now you have a longer distance to reach the enemy. They can still attack your feet while you know exactly where they'll have to attack (above). Basically you now know where they'll attack from and have better reach. If it wasn't a sword but rather a spear, sure. They'd be able to attack more areas because of the higher reach. But a sword? It's like how anime characters will always use a sword even if they're only fighting monsters. Swords (with exceptions like Boar swords -- but those are specialized for specific purposes) were designed to face humans -- not beasts. You're better off using an axe or spear when fighting beasts.
The medieval weapon question is just hard to answer. I'll just pretend there's no me adding my own knowledge or using non-traditional weapons like a bolas or dart gun. The longbow would the most ideal weapon probably... but I also wouldn't want to be captured and have two of my fingers cut off to prevent me using a longbow again. The axe and mace are easy to use weapons but the axe doesn't do well against armored units. Realistically a mace doesn't as well even against plate armor. Sure... it might cause blunt damage but it doesn't pierce the armor. A sword is a better option even though it won't pierce the armor either. It has a better point of balance and is more versatile. Requires more skill and effort but better odds against an armored opponent. However... I doubt I'd be given a great sword. It'd probably be off balance and easy to break. Even then it requires training and you don't want to fight armored opponents in the first place. I'd want to go a spear. It has long reach, easy to learn (hard to master), and lightweight depending on the type. I'd have a good long hunting knife and maybe some short javelins as well. I'd want to be a light skirmisher ideally. Hit and run. More realistically.. I'd do my best to become a non-combatant. My math skills alone would probably get me a position.
I'm not sure you understand how thin the plates off of the torso were. Bending them by blunt force not only caused internal damage but also limited mobility, possibly allowing you to start getting into the more vulnerable areas covered by fabric or chainmail protection only. Piercing is not the only option when reducing the other's fighting capability is enough
The takes on combat make this video almost unwatchable for super big nerds
NL, my absolute favorite (dead) video game of all time is Heroes of the Storm and I think I would die if you played it. Once. Maybe more if you feel inclined. Would love to know your thoughts on this. Day 1 of me asking this ❤
lol
Starcraft 1 Protoss cringe
Starcraft 2 Protoss not cringe.
talking shit!
Why does this guy thinks 99% of Hollywood movies are being made??? Because they want to make art??? 🤨
Sorry, 99.9%!
I haven't watched The Meg 2. But The Meg 1 is utter trash. Speaking as a garbage movie lover, like Bait, The Meg is really bad. Look, I can tell the difference between me liking a movie and a movie being good. I liked Bait, but it is in NO WAY a good movie. The Meg has potential but the main character is such a blatant Mary Sue, it ruins the big shark entirely. I can't get over a scene where **spoilers** the co protagonist's dad just died and she is crying and the MC goes to talk to her and SOMEHOW the talk turns into a conversation about HIS dead parent. WTF?
NL, I love you, but your takes on military in the middle ages are awful, lol.
