That last battle was disustingly hilarous

[@Supaserrin]

I was wondering why the enemy king was not killing the rook. Then I remembered about the spiked shield. Amazing stuff.

[@BenRHarsh]

The best play for the AI would be to sacrifice one of the better units by taking the rook immediately but it didn't which allowed Tyler to chain the takes. The AI doesn't look very far ahead, and arguably only looks 1 move ahead or else it would see this cascade and try to prevent it.

@@BenRHarsh actually because of the spiked shield there wasn’t any opportunity for the AI to take the rook that wouldn’t have gotten the king killed.

[@xicufwm]

yeah, like what's the deal with the description of movement in words? They can VERY easily add a graphical representation for that

[@Viscidsquare040]

@@xicufwm I feel like some movements would be kinda hard to show in a graphic. Like the Pegasus can travel a very long distance so the graphic would have to be very big and in general they would probably have to be big to show the difference between infinite and finite move lengths for some units. Text descriptions also help explain the technicalities of each piece’s movement which can tell you things like exactly how it might get blocked by obstacles. However it would still be a great addition and simplify some pieces massively. There’s a piece that wasn’t in this video but I found in the demo called the Blade Dancer and it’s description was like “moves 2 spaces vertically and up to 2 spaces horizontally or vice versa” which was pretty confusing. It was a lot simpler to understand once I saw visually that it basically just moved on the edges of a square around itself with side lengths of 5.

[@maikelcardeno1441]

Man this editor is just straight up fire! That edit for moving the pieces at 10:15 while you described the play was amazing.

[@randomnobody660]

I'm sure somebody has pointed out but the 17:30 situation is that if andromeda moves then black loses because the fool would then take king. Killing nobles indeed.

[@Sybir.]

I had heard about this game and I see it’s as interesting as I expected… Also, it’s cool you have the platforms on the video now. Makes it a bit easier to know.

[@razorslazor6021]

The editing on this channel has improved so much over the past few years Its a lot easier to follow Tyler's 400IQ plays now

[@Zorgdub]

And it is much appreciated!

[@Furochie]

it would be better if they animated the added move like animated the move to the portal first then after they go through the portal, or like a pegasus that has 2 L move. it'll make the game look more refined and pleasing to look. and it will make the game a lot less confusing when they introduce a complex piece to the board.

[@catkook543]

2:00 I think the way in which this is useful is it lets you strategically get rid of certain pieces that are blocking some of your pieces paths

[@nicsaunders619]

A better idea for catapult would be “takes 1 turn to charge / reload, and then attacks any square that doesn’t have a piece guarding it vertically, horizontally, or diagonally

[@Qeisama]

Yes I've been asking for this in your Shotgun King playthrough 🥳

[@Viscidsquare040]

5:00 actually I think it went down twice into the portal below and thus went out of the portal to the left of your rook. The onscreen description for the Viking doesn’t say it can move diagonally and as you found out immediately after, the game doesn’t show the process of portal moves-only their results.

[@DavidGuild]

I'm pretty sure you're right. The other thing is that the portal adds one square of movement to what it feels like it should: the Viking looks like it can only reach the portal but wouldn't have moves left to go down, but that's not how the portal works, reaching it is enough.

[@Viscidsquare040]

@@DavidGuild yeah the portal seems to sort of duplicate the move into the portal to find a suitable location (somewhere not on top of a portal) to place the piece once it exits the portal.

[@generalsquid9450]

[@paulzagieboylo7315]

17:30 This was a much better fork than you thought it was, because if Black moves Andromeda, your Fool immediately takes the black General. The Fool seems hard to use, but it seems like it can sort of "pin" very powerful pieces from anywhere on the board, by being that move away from the enemy General.

[@badrunnaimal-faraby309]

5:02 actually, it made 2 orthogonal moves, exploiting the portal.

[@belwardissengulp436]

At 17:30 the reason Andromeda didn't take was because after your fool recaptures, the Agent X would not actually be able to take your Pegasus. If it did, the Fool would gain the movement of a Bishop, allowing it to take the black King.
