Doodle Empires Gameplay Part 2

[@fanwebinaru5138]

idk if thats on purpose, but if you dont want to unite with another nation, u can unite with yourself and nothing happens.

[@Thunderous333]

Yep, discovered that pretty early

[@ognenplayer6089]

yep. I actually hope this doesn't get patched if it isn't on purpose

[@TONYCORLEONE-vb8in]

Yep.

[@Jarethenator]

Yeah, I was a fan of this because I didn't always want to do a union, so this is a feature I hope remains in place.

[@juanignaciofragueiro3317]

I don't know if it's something difficult to make, but it would be amazing to have a map/world editor. It would open the doors for people to adapt/make fantasy settings with the game

[@hReNeVaYz1]

Here's s a suggestion, if you start painting on empty land, you won't attack other countries by accident, and if you start painting on a country, you will only take the land of that country, and make a setting for that. That would be really useful and cool, as borders look pretty bad when I connect countries together. Its also my birthday today by the way🎉

[@babywithtinnitus7]

I agree, also happy birthday

[@hReNeVaYz1]

@babywithtinnitus7 thanks

[@gwynplaine4198]

Maybe you just need to be more careful? I wouldn't want to be locked in to painting that way. (Happy birthday btw)

[@hReNeVaYz1]

@gwynplaine4198 uh, I said setting so you can enable or disable that. That way literally nobody will be mad

[@ProbablynotYoutube]

Cool video, but can you add the name of a nation across the nation itself, making it look better and just much more easier to figure out which nations which, especially when you have a lot of nations! Also can you add Illyria, since it was an ancient civilisation and it would help fill the Balkans. Anyway, I’m really enjoying the game, keep up the good work! PS: You are probably gonna get really big on YT

[@rossusarnulfus7552]

Oh my, that's a dream game! I spent hours playing it already. While I played, I thought that it would be great to see a recap of the history so far. And maybe to see a table with data on states, origins, leaders, when these entities started and when perished.

[@rossusarnulfus7552]

By the way, it is possible for a nation to cast a union on itself, I use it when I don't want a union to happen. At least it's possible in 1.2.2.

[@walkingwiki2682]

yes I love that idea, statistics and timelines would be great

[@Dave0439]

we can just have cities and forts be seperate things, since i do like the idea of like fortresses

[@LonelyFearr]

Perhaps a replay mode could be added to get a timelapse of your nations expanding? By the way game is awesome, keep up the good work :D

[@walkingwiki2682]

oo I like that

[@Watchful_Owl]

Came here to say this

[@maxwelch3791]

This is the best idea, would be so cool to make a map painting cinematic.

[@octocube3607]

I would love to see an expanded map of the entire world!

[@dingozi3428]

yo Tanner really went off with this Doodle Empires session feels like a chaotic history class taught by someone who just discovered time travel honestly its wild seeing how this game lets you shape history with random nations splits and expansions I mean Celtic Romans thats some what if history on steroids but im here for it the idea of adding cities as more than just markers is super promising like having cities act as fortresses that make it harder for enemy nations to invade that could lead to some really strategic gameplay especially when youre trying to defend key areas like Rome or Carthage but the sandbox marker idea is cool too being able to map out battles or important locations for storytelling vibes would really give the game personality maybe theres a way to balance both also the lag issue Tanner mentioned sounds annoying but fixable hopefully that gets sorted soon because inspecting nations and managing borders is the core of the game and honestly the customization options could use a boost like let me rename my Celtic Romans to something like Romanno Celts or give them traits that fit their hybrid identity the leaders and ambitions system is neat but being able to tweak it would take the immersion to the next level anyway I love how the game just throws randomness at you like one minute youre adding the Berbers and the next the Celts are steamrolling through Italy and spawning some weird Celtic Roman hybrid nation the potential for wild alternate histories is insane but yeah the splits and randomness could definitely use some refinement maybe with settings to balance out the chaos props to Tanner for keeping it entertaining though the vibe of just rolling with the games quirks and seeing what kind of mess unfolds is perfect for Doodle Empires lets hope the updates bring even more creative tools and less lag so this game can hit its full potential

[@theowlninja3205]

You should add Illyria. And on the cities, they could be markers u can place on the map at will, but then there is a major city card that you can place. Perhaps major cities would add draw power representing more wealth and population within the city?

[@polski6374]

Stumbled across your last video yesterday and I immediately downloaded this game. It’s just the type of game I’ve always been wanting. And I’m excited to see how it develops.

[@Jarethenator]

I have put in a ton of time into this already. Its a very fun world building game. Looking forward to see new maps/a map making tool and any more updates to come. You've got something special and fun here!

[@doubleking7070]

There should be a War & Alliance card: -War cards allow the country to fight another country. -Allied nations cannot be attacked.

[@olisomething]

I think those berbers should be named Mauretania, a ancient kingdom in Morroco. Also about the cities, i think there should be different types of cities, so basically historical sites, religious sites, and fortresses.

[@francy_productions]

Dacia looks nice for a new nation, or maybe Serbia and Bulgaria

[@fildafernandes4366]

I just got your game and it's awesome

[@Roman_General]

I'm so happy that even though you only have a few videos your channel is doing quite well, keep working man

[@Jarethenator]

On the topic of start settings, I think one good one would be being able to pick a number of 'New Nation' cards to start, and be able to play them back to pack. This way you could start the game and place a bunch of starting nations in, say, their historical locations. Then, you can expand from there. Perhaps a followup feature to this is a togglable setting where, if the game detects that there are no longer any unclaimed lands on the map, it stops spawning 'New Nation' cards since, realistically, any new nations would all be splits from old nations unless, in the lore, some undiscovered civilization sprung up. Some might not want this to be the default, though, so it's probably best as a toggle.

[@Thecabbagemerchant-s7f]

suggestion: what if you also added some fantasy maps in the game for extra fun. examples: Avatar the last Airbender world, Different pokemon regions, etc. maybe you can even add a map creator

[@CanaanMoment]

Add Tartessos to the map, Iberia is kinda empty

[@DarkgreenT2008]

Display names should be added above every nation, and it should update with size

[@CanaanMoment]

10:02 the name for that area in classical history was Numidia

[@mr_para1593]

I love this game, but , when you get really close the map flips and with big nation's it get's hard seeing how much draw power you hev left because it's the same color maybe at an outline

[@Tytoalba777]

I'm glad to hear about card toggles. Really nice, exactly what I needed. I guess as a second suggestion, just a hover pop-up to explain what the traits do. Like, I don't know what peaceful or isolationist does, and it would nice for other new people to learn without having to dive through the dev logs.

[@TheBritishman-oo9bv]

It’s only been a few days and you’ve already achieved so much subs I think this game has lots of potential

[@Thunderous333]

Cities as a marker is great, probably as a card and when placed in a nations border, it doubles the surrounding pixels worth when using the expand or new nation option. I also think the addition of some kinda of light war system would be great. I'm thinking its a button you can click on the same UI as rulers. It allows you to then click a country to go to war with. Then after doing so, you and that nation have an entirely different set of cards that you pull from, seperate from the general ones. Some ideas for the cards could be; Leader dies in battle, expands (but only into that nations borders, kinda like how split card works), city destroyed (this could be more just something that happens when you expand over a city, idk), and a peace option, that ends the war by clicking tge opposite nation (or you can continue tge war by clicking the same nation that drew the card). Anyways, looking forward to more updates!

[@crab2x234]

I feel like population density in regions, similar to cities like you talked about where it is harder to take over the more dense areas could be interesting because you could make the places that have been around for longer harder to take over

[@namepending7526]

Would it be possible at some point to revive existing but dead empires instead of making duplicates?

[@WaddleWhite-r8w]

Cool game! I think It should cost less to take new territory than to take over territory

[@ack7]

It already does, though conqueror leaders don’t have this

[@Marvin-sj9lr]

I think there could be two seperate cards, one for taking empty land and one for taking land from other nations

[@FinnishKnight]

I can see your channel and game are starting to grow

[@isaiahfisher2337]

Just wanted to drop in and say this is a really cool game and I'm excited for future updates! A card percentage slider would definitely be much appreciated. Being able to control the number of splits/unions/new nations would be great QOL. Also, maybe just lowering the number of splits and new nations when the map is already full/there are already a lot of nations?

[@callmesoup0_0]

I hope this becomes a series

[@sergodobro2569]

You could make the brush a bit more interesting with timed expansion. So, in the place you click, the land is colored, and then, during the second or so, tiles nearby should switch color, giving it expansion-like effect, border-expanding feeling and not just brush

[@TheGreatBlob24]

You should make the nation as the Persians or Babylonians

[@moosedroppings3706]

maybe the cities could just be markers but you can draw cards to turn those cities into walled cities for better defense or whatever other ideas you have

[@cmb_prod]

If you want to add functionality to cities, i think it would be cool if nations acted as sort of a heat map, with areas closer to cities being harder to conquer by other nations and areas away from cities being easier to conquer. Additionally, perhaps you can have a general "city" card, which allows you to either make a new city or upgrade an existing one (which would increase the difficulty of conquering). This can create an interesting dynamic where nations can choose to either fortify small areas or create large areas. Perhaps, the decision of adding/upgrading cities lies on the traits of the leader: expansionist leaders create cities while isolationist leaders upgrade existing ones.

[@Mudkipm8]

The next nation should be Illyria or maybe Dacia

[@nucleargandhi3759]

An idea for a setting/card could be a random country selection rather than a manual one. Would make for a more dynamic story as you don't have full control over what nation you are going to be editing. Would likely need to be something that could be optionally enabled, but could make some fun situations and change how the world develops

[@spiritsgocrazy6547]

I think it’d be cool if instead of choosing which nation that gets to expand or unite or whatever, you could make it completely random. If it’s too big of a change you could make it into a second mode.

[@lamagogol3333]

hyped about the future updates

[@treythecrappyanimator4028]

You should definitely add a card that says: war. And for the next few turns the two fighting nations take turns drawing cards for big or little offenses. And during that period they can also draw a card that says: peace, which ends the war. Also another idea for war and expansion, if there is a fortress or rough terrain, it should eat up the amount you expand at a quicker rate.

[@Gomomma]

Would love to see maybe roads or little ships go between cities when they're placeable.

[@inkman4703]

Suggestion: for cities, you could have three types, normal cities, which are markers, fort cities, which are mechanical, and capital cities, which would be stronger fort cities.

[@shadowbadgercat]

New Nation Idea: Native Sardinia

[@mustakman]

Hello! You could maybe add in a future update multiplayer somehow and like a mode with ai maybe??? But the multiplayer is a must if its possible. Maybe some kind of economy system or just keep the current draw power. You could even add a population system in the duture when the game starts growing. Like with a system that maybe had turns in the multiplayer, plus if you attack all the time you decrease your draw power or something. This game has pretty good potential! When the game grow it would also be nice to change a bit the ui to more smooth or good looking buttons etc.

[@PICTVS]

I think it would be neat if the likelihood of a nation splitting was somehow tied to how well it’s doing. Like a nation that is attacked by other nations is less likely to split, but a nation that experiences long periods of peace stagnates and fractures. Also I think nations below a certain size should not be able to split whatsoever.

[@Cevenne]

Add Illyria

[@KahiDow]

Idea for the game you should add landmarks which are like cities but are stronger and help to take other nations land faster

[@SphericalitMapping]

As another person has mentioned, an auto-select or random select feature would be nice. It would help to give attention to other nations and maybe also decrease the chance of splitting cards otherwise the game has been great so far, currently editing a video on it!

[@alexbulza50]

A new nation: DACIA

[@DashingHunter]

This only has been your fourth video and it seems like you have a lot of viewers and subs already I like that this game your making is getting attention by the people can't wait what this game would be in future updates

[@m.b.metalfoxy7292]

I can suggest the Illyrians, on the Croatian coast (i.e. the Balkan coast overlooking the Adriatic Sea). Nice game I'm very interested in playing.

[@LeoliDWizz-qz1nm]

this looks really good.

[@NeoEvanA.R.T]

7:14 Maybe the celts invaded and destroyed the etruscans, but Rome managed to push them back.

[@babywithtinnitus7]

this is fire, I would like to see rivers a bit more defined and cities thats all

[@Ali-no7wh]

I’d absolutely love to have this on iOS

[@Qwerka]

One suggestion, if not difficult, would be to add another game mode that introduces turns/rounds that goes from West to East. If same latitude, check which one is more North.

[@Keizer-p8y]

continue to cook good sir

[@walkingwiki2682]

I would love an Australia map

[@RRBBVamp]

Hey I'd love if you got a world map or full Europe, Africa, Americas, and Asia maps in future updates I'll totally understand if that's too ambitious for now or even for the future but I'd love it. Also this game is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks a lot and happy to have both found the game and this channel to give you feedback through.

[@SereglothIV]

I like the idea of cities a lot, but I'm not so sure about some of the mechanics discussed. I think a lot of charm of Doodle Empires comes from its simplicity, its sandbox nature with very few limitations to what you can draw. Adding too many mehcanics could ruin some of this charm. I mean, we already have Paradox games if we want to paint the map with the entire spreadsheet of rules ;P What I love about Doodle Empires is that I can just relax and draw whatever borders I want, anything that I think looks good. Some additions can be great, but at the same time adding too many rules could harm this beautiful game.

[@Jubileeu027]

We need a time-lapse option

[@brohamletmeusethishandle]

A way to configure RNG for fewer splits?! YIPPEE!!!!!

[@NeoEvanA.R.T]

I think you should made the brushes have a little bit of a texture to stop border being too rounded.

[@NattyNuke]

I was supposed to work on my game art final project- it's due this morning. Instead I downloaded this game and played it for 3 hours straight!

[@Krieger99]

I dunno if certain regions have higher civil war chances but i made a slightly larger than usual egypt that became 12 different little factions over time

[@alice_ore]

for the new nation, do what i did when i didn't know what to add. make them alien invaders

[@RecoveringMoth]

Hey I’ve been trying to open Doodle Empires on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) with the 2.7 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 Processor with a 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 Memory and the Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB. However it just says it can’t be opened for some reason and I don’t know who

[@RecoveringMoth]

Why*

[@volcryndarkstar]

Ability to use other countries existing borders as masks so you dont accidentally take over occupied territory would be nice. Also using terrain as masks so we can make borders that look more natural.

[@birb4121]

add Georgia!

[@cheesed8752]

PLEASE LOWER THE SPLIT VALUE I HAD A GIANT EMPIRE AND GOT 6 SPLITS IN A ROW

[@nathanmelo7805]

is it possible to add custom maps? would love to add my own fantasy maps

[@АнтонОрлов-я1ъ]

New nation: Illyria. Tunis should probably be re-named into Numidia or Lybo-Phoenicia.

[@Elix111]

You should fix the renaming thing that renames all nations, and if you already did that, it's fine

[@whitehawk4099]

A couple of suggestions: Make it cost more, and your mouse move slower, as you draw over hills and mountains. Also make it more difficult to draw over rivers, so that it is easier to make river borders. Cities, some options when drawing cards. Even if you just can draw the card and then select the country that would be better because then you would be able to make more decisions. Could also have a draw two cards and choose between them, or discard a card if you don't want it, but I think drawing before country selection would be best. The font is also a little difficult to read. On to your drawing, I think you should name the Celtic Rome Reme, named after Reman rather than Romulus. Just a fun thought.

[@hReNeVaYz1]

Bad suggestion. You can't just make your mouse move slower, you will need a custom cursor for that. Personally I dont want it to be hard to draw over rivers, not like its hard anyway. Discard a card would ruin the whole point of the game. Because you can just discard until you get the card you want.

[@whitehawk4099]

@hReNeVaYz1 Which suggestion is bad? For mouse slowdown, having tactile feedback to the drawing is preferable and something to be sought in the long term. Might not be immediately actionable, but it would be preferable to see a difference in your cursor movement when you are drawing over a greater area. River borders are, at present, almost impossible to achieve, but they occurred historically with regularity, so it would be good be be able to replicate that. An alternative to slowing down the cursor would be altering the paint size, but the other option works syncretically with my prior suggestion regarding hills and mountains. As regards discarding cards, there is a reason that it was the third possible solution that was proposed, with both drawing before the nation selection and drawing two cards and choosing between them being suggested prior. Discarding cards is hardly an ideal solution, but it is something that adds more decisions into the mixture.

[@fildafernandes4366]

Can you add Serbia next

[@xhatis]

Mobile when?

[@AntoniThePiano]

are you planning on adding more gameplay or will it be more of a geek drawing cool shit on a map product?

[@ebercondrell6603]

Have you fixed the mac issues yet?

[@Krydex01]

Sakartvelo, for the new nation in modern-day Georgia :)

[@LeoliDWizz-qz1nm]

is there gonna be some sort of tutorial video. also is there a goal to achieve while playing?

[@shadowbadgercat]

Could the card settings be changeable mid game?

[@levanchanukvadze1108]

New nation: Colchis in the east of Black sea, in the modern Western Georgia territory

[@Qwerka]

1:40 Thank you so much dude!

[@roallposselt4527]

What if you add a choice of cards instead of one card at a time, Also you could make it so that terrain have an effect on the nations you are making

[@kiangamer3293]

Cool!

[@gwynplaine4198]

Add the Saka or Scythians to southern Russia

[@VirelIyan]

Can you please make it available for android?

[@-Winston_Churchill-]

Please add more maps 😢😢

[@Mrpalmtree-qo9be]

Make thrace

[@UODPhil]

Maybe you could add sardinia as a new nation?

[@blagoevski336]

Nice

[@diozan6110]

Can you please do this for android???? Pleaseeeeee

[@Mrsirmapping]

Hi! If you didn’t read my last comment (which got lik 100 likes which is insane) but I was wondering if there is the possibility of cities

[@-NezoF-]

I really liked your idea

[@mustakman]

he said he will add in the next update

[@Mrsirmapping]

Oh really? I didn’t see nice!

[@mustakman]

@Mrsirmapping yeah he said he would probably add it. Probably by geting a card and creating new cities.

[@zMarsIsCool]

i love this game, but PLEASE reduce the split chance, or give us a feature to draw a new card! The splits have ruined all my games and it's SUPER annoying!

[@estrellabermudez9912]

Whats the link for the discord

[@video.ad.system]

the game isn't opening on MacOS sequoia 15.1.1 can someone please help me out

[@Sector-07-p5j]

ADD NEW FONT AND NEW UI!?!

[@Evilpunkin]

I’m having trouble getting on the game

[@GalaxyGaming-dl9xz]

hi can we make our own nations
