Cell stage: we got bullied, but we persevered! Creature stage: through the power of friendship and glitches, we persevered! Tribal stage: we are now doing things recognized as war crimes.

[@AvengerAtIlipa]

In tribal stage, if you leave a tribe with only its chieftain and steal all of its food, then they are effectively neutralized forever. Their chieftain will never leave the village to forage for food, and without food they cannot replenish their numbers. But the chieftain needs to survive; if they die the game will give the tribe two free adults as an emergency measure, which will then go and gather food once you leave. Throwing spears are by far the best weapons because you can easily kite enemies and focus-fire them. Tribe members tend to bug out and not do anything in giant fights with stone axes, and flaming torches are not even worth mentioning.

[@KinglyValence]

That's really interesting to know about the Chieftain and what spawns those reinforcements, thanks! I might be able to work that in if I do more fighting Tribal Stages!

[@Pihsrosnec]

I found flaming torches useful in the beginning if tribe stage to zerg rush the main tent without bothering with the actual enemies

[@AvengerAtIlipa]

@@Pihsrosnec That's a pretty risky gamble, and you're always going to lose tribe members in the process. With throwing spears, you can somewhat reliably clear Tribal Stage on Hard with 0 casualties

[@Pihsrosnec]

@@AvengerAtIlipa true, but when you start off with torches it's useful for quickly destroying the first other tride and taking their weapons. plus, my strategy around casualties in spore is usually to be able to afford them rather than being able to avoid them lol

[@AvengerAtIlipa]

@@Pihsrosnec It's not really about the food lost to hatch a new tribemember: it's more about the cooldown until they turn into an adult.

[@bee5464]

This makes me wonder how well omnivore does. Of course cell and creature might be the easiest they've ever been, but it could be really interesting on the tribal stage onwards.

[@benzelmer8111]

[@dragonblast4854]

Or with both mouths, when I try an omnivore run, I just add an extra mouth

[@HameleoshaDeHoga]

I'm impressed by people who can beat the "pitiful worm mode" or whatever because I tried it too and I rage quitted on creature stage

[@EllaHulk]

Imagine exploring the galaxy and discovering enlightened worms without any features except for a mouth.

[@blakdeth]

Beast master befriending in tribal to stop threats is actually safer than fireworks. A blue face from performing will never go down unless you provoke them, but from fireworks it will go down after a certain amount of time.

[@KinglyValence]

Interesting, I'll have to see how long the friendly lasts with just fireworks.

[@KinglyValence]

I tried it, yeah using Fireworks only lasts for about 6 minutes on Easy, 3 minutes on Normal, and 1 minute on Hard. I think this is also as long as a gift would keep a tribe from going from yellow neutral to orange relationship as well :)

[@vrnvorona]

Point is to use fireworks and then befriend them to stabilize

[@orbitalostrich2629]

This is going to be fantastic! I know the view counts have been hit-or-miss lately, but you do have a very dedicated fanbase in us! Keep it up!

[@Cuil]

I love these worms. They mean everything to me.

[@WheelDragon]

How does spore calculate the time in the timeline? Is there a fastest time in terms of spore years, or would the speedrun be the fewest years as well?

[@KinglyValence]

I've always wondered that as well, definitely something I want to look into in more detail possibly for a vid explanation :)

[@cancerguy5435]

There is actually some information about it, even on the wiki. Basically, the game will add more time to the timeline upon every death, evolution, mating and just spent time in general. The most important part is to speedrun through the cell stage, since it affects your time in a very big way.

[@webkinzgecko1515]

always good to see an upload from you!! it was really fun to see you rate pathetic herbivore vs. pathetic carnivore. I can't believe it took you a whole 4 hours though! your patience is admirable.

[@cynical5062]

Lets go! another really cool Spore video! this has turned what was honestly a pretty bad day for me into a better one thank you, and i hope you keep making amazing content! you deserve to get far more attention on your videos than you do have a nice day

[@trailsgod751]

War torpedo is what my head first saw

[@thegoldenaquarius96]

I wonder if by tinkering with the game you can start with an pitiful worm having only a proboscis, so you can make an omnivore version of this challenge.

[@UniqueUkrainianLetters]

Finally, a new video! Spore community will never die!

[@nicos5040]

5:58 btw instead of that the pause menu has a magnifying glass button u can use to click on the creature and it pulls up the info too

[@KinglyValence]

That's cool, I've actually never used that lol, thanks for letting me know!

[@CoolattasLab]

As a kid I always stopped once I got the Tribal stage bc I couldn't figure out the controls LOL fascinating to see just how easily broken it is

[@smellyfishstiks]

Ive always liked the first 2 stages the most and tribal maybe the least, I really like fighting in it though but I think a big factor for why its maybe not liked as much is just how tight and slow it is, you befriend all the tribes ahead of time, dupe babies, plan out what your going to do.. and still takes forever granted the slow movement speed and lack of armor buffs. Its just like you always have to have food stolen or deal with the ai as you said or how fast the tribes regen tribe members, just such a big change in gameplay and so slow. Still enjoyable but ya. Loved the video!

[@charliedavies4160]

I have been binging all of your content as of late, im so glad i stumbled upon it! so good to see the spore love is alive and well, please keep it up, I can't wait to see what you do next!

[@roboticgamer8990]

not sure how difficult it would be but trying to take over the entire galaxy and colonizing every planet seems like an interesting challenge run.

[@Bigzthegreat]

Challenge Idea: Beat Spore in the least amount of In game time. (the amount of time in the top right in the historic timeline for your species)

[@KinglyValence]

That would be interesting! Figuring out the least "actions/events" the timeline looks at would be fun!

[@Bigzthegreat]

@@KinglyValence good luck, it's basically a harder version of the no evolution challenge.

[@maxbenjamin7212]

Perfect upload timing for my lunch. Legendary vid as always

[@MrRyanroberson1]

speaking of 10.8 billion years: did you ever do a video or mention in a video how spore calculates how many years it took for an evolution/stage? if there's a science to it, then what about a *minimum years* run? that would be pretty cool!

[@KinglyValence]

How History tracks time is something I was wondering too, I definitely look into a run like that! :D

i have had a glitch where a playable planet spawned outside of any galaxy arms and decided to play on it. i got trough every stage an i thought i was softlocked in space stage when it asked me to visit alien planets, but then the unthinkable happened, the game generated new stars around me for me to go back in to the galaxy's arm. Has this ever happened to you? i'd like to know more about events like this

[@KinglyValence]

I haven't seen the game generate more stars in the galaxy, they should all be in the same spots for everyone's game. Do you still have access to this saved game? I'd really like to take a look at it! :D

It's hilarious that your cell needed over double the Earth's lifespan to evolve to a creature.

[@racknae]

You can give gifts to members of other tribes directly, even if they're currently on their way to raid you. They'll accept the gift as long as they're not currently in combat, making this a really easy way to stop/intercept a raid.

I think that you can successfully impress an enemy team with 9 or 12 members with the worm, you just need to guide an epic over to their base to kill a few or kill a few of them and then do the song when you have the numbers advantage

[@alekhinecat]

such a human move, spawn in with horrible stats and slaughter everyone you see with numbers

[@RealPhoenixFlight]

I dont know if this is faster but then you get the "Impress/Hunt *creature here*" you can drop the bar down and click on the picture to jump straight to the creature info, I find this easier as I suck at navigating the Sporepedia Also I found a glitch while jumping (with creatures that can), you can grab fruit from afar, takes some practice but I got the hang of it, works best as a herbivore, havent tested as a carnivore with meat

[@RenoKyrie]

@@KinglyValence If you ask me about how i would rate the Consequence Cell: Herbivore***(Good for pretty much every Stage), Omnivore***(Deffinitly a hard carry for Blue based Archetype even if Space Stage is a bit underwhelming), Red**(The weakest of the 3 because mostly being food source and Tribal Stage but Halved Energy on Weapons are good) Creature: Social**(Deffinitly makes Tribal Stage and Civ Stage go faster if you want to be friend fast, less chance to revolt is a bit odd tho), Adaptable***(You pretty much carried Summon Flock the best Active from Creature Stage, Bribe bomb is funny, Speed demon is also weird), Predator**(If you really want to destroy Tribal and Civ this is good, but More HP on the Ship is.... the weirdest of the 3 Creature Stage Consequence) Tribal: Friendly***(Pretty good if you want to make fast Allies which you REALLY want to do, the Civ Stage skill is.... okay), Industrious**(Now if you really like to Colonize Planets, this is really good since you allways get cheaper Colonization more often by going to your own Race World, the Civ Skill is... also allright), Aggresive***(Really good on making Combat focused Space Stage and the Civ Stage Skill is also good) Civ Stage: Religious***(Deffinitly the best one to reduce over Revolt and Pirate because it could ruin your Colony), Industrious**(You allready make Spices REALLY fast but i guess you can get this if you REALLY want more), Military*(Honestly this is the worst Consequence because its.... not even that bad to begin with unlike Biodisaster and Revolt)

[@ParallelogramCH]

That must have been a painful run. Narotiza's playthrough already looked frustrating, even though they played on normal difficulty with no restriction on vehicles. What is your verdict on which version of the challenge is harder? Before watching, I thought the carnivore/aggressive version would be the more difficult one, because you can't abuse Siren Song (the most OP ability in the game) and you have horrible attack stats for Tribal.

[@KinglyValence]

Tribal was definitely easier as social and Civ as Religious. Creature was easier as the herbivore because of the Siren Song, since the creature's stats are the same either way. Cell was closer, Herbivore was probably slightly easier even if the Carnivore may have been faster, but required more work to get food. It was still a lot closer than I was expecting, they were pretty similar in difficulty but just different in play style :)

[@adamgameplay2138]

hello, I need some help, when I try to save the game I always get this error message Save game failed. Spore will now exit does anyone know a solution to this problem a

[@KinglyValence]

I've never seen that error message occur, does it happen on every planet you try to save on or just one? If the whole game seems like it won't save we can resetting everything and all current save games without needing to reinstall the game if that's needed. Deleting the "Spore" folder from the Roaming folder in Appdata, found by searching "%appdata%" in Windows search, will generate a new galaxy and saved games and that should fix the saving issues. This will delete all currently saved games though.
