[@janihaavisto79]

Thanks for this vid, i am member in your kingdom, and low spender who is trying to get most value and commander's out fast as possible so can help in kvk's and such. And 5511 commander's are useful for me also

[@herudevinci2861]

I am a student of history because I love it. Some things I noticed and wondered what you thought. After watching an episode on the History Channel bar barian's rising I wondered why my favourite game chose to change the nationality of Hannibal from African to a Santa Claus looking European gentleman? Also what do you think about Egypt not being a civilization?

[@jackwu7028]

@@herudevinci2861 First, Hannibal is Ancient Carthaginian, and African is not a nation. In the game they put Hannibal in the "other" category for civilization. Second, this game focuses more on the middle ages. 11/12 civs in the game come from the middle ages, with Rome being the only exception. Furthermore, there are 4 ages in the game: bronze, iron, dark, and feudal ages. Bronze, iron, and dark ages are all early games. Feudal age is the main focus of the game, which ranges from 5th century to 12th century, if you search on Google that is. So it makes sense for Ancient Egypt (2000 BCE to 0 CE) not to be included.

[@herudevinci2861]

@@jackwu7028 I didn't know Africa was not a nation thanks for that and the fact they have vikings and Troglodytes as a civilization is an oxymoron. And Carthage is in Africa, Mali was an Empire With mansa musa , And of course the richest and most accomplished of that era from 711 to 1492 was the Moors.

[@herudevinci2861]

@@jackwu7028 Also if ancient Egypt should not be included why do they use its culture for example O Cyrus league and Ramsey's and Cleopatra Etc

Hey Chis, I enjoyed this video a lot, cuz I am a low spender, and have been searching for this kind of information 🤭 Here I have a question. I’m working on Rame and Cyrus pair recently(both with 5511 now), so I wanna know which of these you’d recommend; expertise Rame first and then Cyrus, or 5551 Rame and then 5551 Cyrus. 🤧

[@rmarriott2]

when paired with a maxed/expertised atilla, how much stronger is a 5555 takeda over a 5551 takeda? (that just happens to be how the cards fell with my takeda from 5511.)

[@uxien]

Hi Chis. what about YSS 5551 as a secondary for open field? what do u think?

[@JS-.-]

When making these videos, it’s good to do them by kingdom age…was hoping for info on the commanders I have but those are almost all SOC commanders and I’m still in a kingdom that can only use Alex/Saladin/Ed etc

[@wowsike809]

Can you make a vid about pair of commanders than can go into everythong like kwk,war,open field etc

[@1475369100]

I see you recommended takeda to be at 5551, but in my case, he is at 5353, should i reset it to make it 5551?

[@emojir6972]

I think maxing Cyrus was a great decision. I don’t even use rage talents and horn isn’t needed when paired with YSG.

[@jaymaherchandani768]

Chisgule I want to see 1 video on secondary commanders to save our golden stars like I did big mistake by taking alex at 60 lvl rather I have to make Guan at 60 like takeda is also g good but at secondary

[@janihaavisto79]

Hang on? Is this video so old that we didn't have XY yet? Just checked you had XY lvl30 in roster. So I got next commander's open from wheel/Legendary tavern:Zeno, XY, Artemisia, Cyrus, Trajan and Takeda. So should I use Saladin Takeda or XY in Takeda's place? Also I got XY's 3 skills open only because you said that in youe restart you were thinking to use him as 5550. And wouldnt get that March speed reducing stacks come to REKT your March. Now as longer investment I will expertise XY at some point, but what I use as archers in my kvk murder swarm? YSG with Artemisia, or Cyrus? And I'm left with 1 archer without pair in anyway after I use 1 march. And Trajan is only at 2111, just got him in previous kvk and slowly working him. But I feel like if I use Guan/Alex(or other way around) as pair 1, Saladin/Takeda(or XY/Saladin) as 2nd, Artemisia/YSG-or Cyrus as 3rd then I 'eed Trajan to 5551 or 5511 so I can bring 4th March and be littlebit team player.. As under 50m(as of now) player I feel like that 4 marches is my maximum. I planned to get from 42,8m to 60m power before our next kvk. But we need to see if I can get enough call of legends bundles bought for the speed ups. Anyway I think I'll do that boost up in next months first week. Need to ask Ruz or someone that if I can get 17m power up limit to next MGE or Zenith event. Ik I have t4's still, but I'm still 42p days away finishing Herbal meds 10/10, then need encampment lvl5 and 1 other research before can start t5 Infantry tech. LONG LIVE 1075

[@Thought_it_up]

Please do another video on commanders like guan yu and cao cao where you want to get out of order skills maxed. I got a 5151 Cao Cao first try so I’m feeling lucky haha.

[@marcusvergara6193]

5151 Cao? Jesus Christ that’s lucky. Usually people get at least one in the 2nd skill.

19:15 when it says buffs, doesn't that mean only talents from talent trees? Like clarity for example.

@Massimo Hack not easy, true, but the 5551 and 5511 are easy. But with info about the other setup, you can really use your skill resets. You don't need those resets for a 5111/5511/5551

[@MrFryin]

@@AlexanderMullenders you just gave the solution to your problem, no need for a video..There's no tricks that can help or guarantee a 5155 or 5515..Just dumb luck...You follow THIS video on who to 5551 and tomorrows 5511 video and that's it

[@AlexanderMullenders]

@@MrFryin I meant; a more detailed vid on which commanders are really good to use the skill reset on. I know Guan and Tomy, but maybe there are more. And I get that you need loads of luck to get them to 5155, but it's worth the gamble, I still buy lottery tickets, so I believe in small chances 😁

Could you try to focus a vid once on legendaries for young kingdoms? And pairings with epics. In this list we can only use Richard and Saladin

[@MrFryin]

Saladin/Pelagius or Baibars for some AOE and Sun Tzu or Bjorn/Richard or Charles Martel 5511 is good. You could also do Herman/El Cid (if you are lucky with gold keys) but YSG would be better at 5511. Even Mehmed 5511 is good with his AOE and can be paired with anyone.
