Game Review: Continental Goth SemperBlender

I'm reviewing a 2v2 game on continental where by buddy SemperBlender wields the goths against the Italian peninsula (very historically correct in fact!). I'll be picking at his early game while being entertained by the banter and frustrations in the late game :)

I already feel flattered after the intro when you call me "my good German friend" !!! :D

Thank you for the advice for the early game! I learned that 3 villager start when I started into the game in HD version. Back then I almost only played Spanish. For the Spanish that is by the way the suggested start. When you do this with a "normal" civ you get 2 seconds of idle time on the TC. THat is why it is so frowned about in the pro scene. But for me the build order works quite well because not only do I save some building time but also I often got housed in the past. Having 20 pop space, right away, is kind of helpful for me. But I still take your criticism, of course. . About the straggler trees: I am always fast on stragglers because I mainly want to free the space so I can place farms, later on. And on this map farming space was a valuable ressource. But you already told me last time that taking stragglers too soon is not good gameplay. Next time I send my dudes to the lumbercamp! ;-)

44:13 You are getting confused, buddy! xD

56:20 It is so funny when I actually tell the other Dude to resign! xD I am not in the friendliest tone, again. I think I had a bad temper day, anyways. But then again playing on with like ten villagers is quite a moronic thing to do. Actually, it is even kind of treolling.

50:22 JUst realizing how toxic I am! xD I usually am a nice guy in the game. But sometimes when people just boom and so on, I can be a diva in deep need of a Snickers... 🤣😂

I am already looking forward to what you will send me! And then I shall make the video very fast. :)

One thing I notice at the start: You do not show the game but instead break down how to best play the map. I think that is an interesting way of approaching this. But this makes the video more like a guide "from 1.000 ELO to 1.200 ELO". For me it would be more helpful if you just show the game and then pause from time to time to explain things.

When you sned me a game, polease make sure it goes. There is virtually nothing I could tell you to make your dark age or feudal better. I might actually even fast forward to Castle Age because before that I have not much to say. (Except of course you do a wild vil fight or stuff like that.)
