HORSE VS PYRION! - MECHABELLUM

[@AndrewArmstrong]

Just a heads up for next time if you do another HORSE. You can make a custom lobby where you can set your HP to 50,000 os that the matches don't end prematurely. You can also do a bunch of stuff like drop in any unit or level a unit up use commands so that you could do wheel of units or wheel of wacky type stuff! Edit: this would require both players to play on the same machine and set up through the 'Testing Grounds'

[@non1503]

Now we need to post this info for months. Until he remembers to try it.

[@spongmongler6760]

Alternatively, set the HP so low that it's first to 5 wins instead of first to 5 rounds.

[@AndrewArmstrong]

​@@spongmongler6760 I get what you mean but this would mean the battles would all be very small and we wouldn't get to see cool synergies or upgraded units!

[@spongmongler6760]

[@skylark1463]

I loved hearing Pyrion fall in love with the game instantly. With a lot of negativity about games out there it's nice to hear someone really get into and enjoy one.

[@nessle420]

this was surprisingly entertaining i enjoyed it

[@PierceArner]

The only question now is how long until WHEELS come into *Mechabellum* HORSE. I'm _so_ glad that this game is getting to fill in the auto-play 1v1 dynamics that *TABS* used to. I really hope it has legs that are similar as a series here.

[@luketfer]

Soon the wheels shall come for Mechabellum...soon, after Tom finishes his crusade to get everyone in the Yogs office addicted to it.

[@GeneralRedNortherner]

Does this mean there is a possibility that we could get a double serving of Wheel Boy in Jingle Jam 2023, first in a TABS tournament, then in a Mechabellum tournament (or vice versa)? Because I'd love to see Wheel Boy get double the usual roasting treatment.

[@Dr.Alfred]

@@GeneralRedNorthernerBut will Wheel Dad come back?

[@Topher2k8]

There's 2 really important things in this game that are just never explained. 1. The towers on your side of the map can provide some really powerful abilities 2. In the main menu there is a Unit Modification tab where you can customise your units to fit your playstyle. Just mentioning this here as it took me a while to learn these things.

[@vineveer4358]

The mad lad actually put "horse" in the title. I blame Ben for this.

[@Macky4254]

YES! Horse AND Mechabellum?! Day couldn’t be going better

[@ARMEDGAMER12]

THE MIGHTY HORSE RETURNS!

[@Crazyspaceman]

This game should really have a horse mode!

[@ackbaa9093]

Heard you and ben talking about the horse view bait and I'm 100% here for it. Ended up buying mechabellum after the yogs tournament and your debut vid. Pretty damn good.

[@shrimpisdelicious]

I'm definitely down for watching more Mechabellum content.

[@tenebraebr]

Man, loved PFlax's enthusiasm in learning and playing this with Tom. Very cool.

[@Nettai]

I love when mechs bellum all over each other. Great content Angory Tom!

[@vonraesyr7349]

A new Horse series?! And with my favourite guest Egg!? Splendid!

[@Blisterdude123]

I love seeing a game the Yogs play as a sponsor that unironically ends up being so entertaining they keep playing it.

[@Orillion123456]

THE HORSE HAS BEEN REVIVED! HE HAS DONE IT! Now we just need some wheels to be added...

[@jimthepyroful]

Yes I’ve been craving more Mechabellum!

[@risjut2146]

I want more mechabellum.

[@p0ot]

Stay tuned for next week in HORSE: Tom vs a bunch of baby seals in a car-crusher! Seriously though, love to see more Mechabellum.😄

[@Dr.Death8520]

Someone's watched ZP just before this I see

[@weaboobaby7364]

@@Dr.Death8520 I was just thinking why is this reference so familiar?

[@TwilightLink293]

YES! Was looking forward to this ever since the stream, so glad Paradox decided to sponsor you for a game that seems to be up your alley!

[@reignedaze]

What a totally accurate battle simulator! Great stuff

[@NickKrige]

Certified Jingle Jam classic already imo. The first Yogs tournie was fun to watch and so was this. Tom and Pyrion together is always a win

[@sfaulk136]

Both Tom and Pyrion seemed to be having an absolute blast. This game is great for the Yogs

[@MaleniaLi]

YES! More Tom, more Mechabellum, more HORSE. Everything I wanted

[@chios4446]

What an awesome format, I was kinda sad after the tournament because I thought I wouldn't see content like that anymore, but now... MAN this was great! Also feeling sorry for Pyrion initially going into a rock-paper-scissors game blindly just for him to rise to the challenge like that... Chef's kiss!

[@BlareWolfgang]

SO good! Love watching Pyrion getting used to the mechanics and turning it around at the end. Does this mean that we're bring in the WhEeLs?

[@licensedegirl320]

Another fine display of the world renown game of Horse. Fantastic.

[@SpydrXIII]

so far i've learned the best tactic against tom is flyers. even if he knows you have flyers, he will never get anti-air.

[@weebly_]

YES the return of horse!

[@BlueIceNinja98]

Keep this game coming! It’s so enjoyable both to play and to watch. Whether it be horse, or just you playing matches.

[@binman39]

I didn't know I needed HORSE Mechabellum until I saw this.

[@colby1398]

More Mechabellum! More Horse! More TOM!

[@Gunthersby]

Man, I sure love KZbin Channel Angory Tom and also games of HORSE translated into strategy games

[@Galrukh]

Yay, Horse! This is great fun to watch.

[@pshybysz]

Never ever use fire upgrades when you're using crawlers strat Tom. Not for stormcrawlers, do not upgrade vulcan with flamy rockets.

[@GamenRyder]

Another option rather than making hp really high, is to play the letters as the win-defeat of the whole match. Makes things a bit longer though. Or you just keep going as is but the finishing of the hitpoints only adds one more letter - start a new round to continue. So there's a reset in the middle of the match so to speak

[@Davion197]

This game seems to be pretty much a standalone Warcraft 3 custom game. Neat.

[@swimteamizzle1114]

I think we all know what would make this game better. Something round? Something wacky?

[@yakobsoulstorm5187]

Perhaps… a Wheel of Wacky?

[@-gid-9072]

I have been playing this sooo much ever since the first video. Lots of fun. I find I get a lot of my new games from Tom these days.

[@FranckOA42]

You should be carefull when giving the "acid release on death" ability to your crawlers as it will also damage your units (so your crawler swarm was destroyed by their own acid)... It's still good as a sacrificial play to cover the front line in acid to destroy the closed ranged units of your opponent whil you shoot them from afar.

[@karolbartos8869]

amazing! more mechabellum and more pyrion

[@Paintinmyeye]

Wow, its a rare day when you watch a show that you were able to see the birth of on another show haha

[@finnallenlamont989]

I'm not sure horse works with this game but I'd absolutely love to see a Yogscast tournament best of 3 matches

[@colby1398]

If you set the life limits super high in a custom game then this plays just like TABS and you don't have to worry about the game ending early.

[@Tson-nr9rw]

Fuck yeah, I didn’t know earlier this was what I wanted today but when I saw the notification I knew it was definitely what I ducking wanted

[@Bruce_Keno]

So glad there's more of this game

[@RadicalLynx]

The instant I saw the tournament commentary, I knew this was coming

[@Timmeh7o7]

8:12 I'd like to see a Sandbox mode that plays out like TABS - Each player builds according to the allotted cash each round, but instead of reducing enemy health on victory, it increases your points. Win conditions could be number of won rounds, a point threshold, or unlimited play.

[@AkaEbone]

Adding HORSE into this feels a bit redundant, but I'm still here for it!

[@zomble_z]

This game seems right up Pyrion's alley. I could tell as the game went on, he was super getting into it!

[@Magicstuffandthings]

Immediately thought this was the perfect horse game in the last video

[@cmdrodimir7742]

Would def watch more! Loved having PFlax!

[@opibegoob7585]

[@marcusmues]

Don't get me wrong - I love the gameplay and having guests on is great. I'm just not sure that this is actually "HORSE" haha. More like 1v1 with the game's normal mechanics.

[@akeverday7]

I absolutely love this game and have been obsessed, but I feel like Horse doesn't really work for it you know? It's kinda arbitrary, like whoever loses is the horse...so what's the point of calling it Horse if they've already lost?

[@TheHolymadrix]

They need a way to set the max points higher so the game can go longer, otherwise a very fun game.

[@ashtrte]

Wow I just realized that the TABS HORSE stuff was basically just custom auto-chess

[@Olivernicholasbradbury]

Love it! In future vids can you please circle the mouse pointer around units you’re talking about? It’s quite hard to follow 😂

[@Ozymandias2x]

It made me sad that Flax kept not leveling up his units. I guess he didn't realize that the first time you level up it literally doubles the unit's health and damage.
