My 10 Recommendations for Territorial.io 💡

[@HappyGamer_YT]

i remember when boats were a white pixel. it's been a while

[@olisomething]

same.

[@EnzoPlays1234]

It sure has been a while. Playing some MP on the classic balances could be a fun niche nostalgia thing :)

[@1nlands]

Thanks for bringing 2022 me

[@HappyGamer_YT]

@@1nlands 2023 as well, my friend. it got changed in 2024. you're welcome btw

[@IZHAANNAJEEBMH]

Ha! memories!

[@FedericoGrimaudo]

Hi Enzo, thanks for this video I agree with all your points, this game has so much potential and it's a shame to see it wasted

[@EnzoPlays1234]

Gotcha Gotcha. I actually talked with quite a few people about this stuff. I don't think the game is wrecked, and I have started to adapt, but I still just don't understand what any of this accomplished. I don't the game is really better for any of this...hence the vid :/

[@benbruce9192]

so TL;DR, revert all changes? :) Sounds good

[@EnzoPlays1234]

Yeah for the most part with a few exceptions 😂

[@HappyGamer_YT]

i disagree with the call to peace update. now, i can finally get 100% without worrying about the game finishing. that's a good feature. it should however be easier to access and it should be easier to see

[@EnzoPlays1234]

Thanks for sharing your opinion even it is a bit esoteric. The accessibility piece is really important: there are still people in discord and on reddit not knowing about this. Not to mention, the pathways is right by quit game 😂

[@vilemhrajejenjednuhru]

Bring the game back to when Drew started playing. That would be way better.

[@EnzoPlays1234]

Eh, idk about that! But most of the august changes are quite puzzling! 😬

[@vilemhrajejenjednuhru]

@@EnzoPlays1234 Or instead of bringing back old territroial.io, someone could make a territorial.io legacy. 🙂

[@BraveHornet]

I couldn't agree more! Like you said even if he just had a formal suggestion box, even if he just said "do you like the new update" Yes/No it would be so much better. For now I think statistics will be the best way to convince him. FInd comments that are annoyed by the update by top level players. When was the last time you were convinced to vote for someone because of one sign, never. With statistics you can get people to change.

[@EnzoPlays1234]

So the thing about the suggestion box is that there is something like this in the main forum, and he responds. I am going to make a post if people keep saying they agree (i.e., this vid is kind of a referendum of sorts....though I think we all know the results). But yes, systematic feedback is good, data makes sense, and we will see what happens. He did revert the may boat update because of comments, so who knows. We can always hope! :)

[@BraveHornet]

@@EnzoPlays1234 yeah, I’m making my own game right now. If we actually finish it we’re DEFINITELY getting feedback!

[@1nlands]

The only actually good about all of these is being able to survive on boats without having any land (i just need enough troops to survive long in a game) Im in 8:57 as im typing this Edit: 11:03 wow i should have watched the entire vid

[@EnzoPlays1234]

I actually really like that too! For me, sometimes I like sticking in games to try to help mentor people through. Nonetheless, I do think it is a niche thing, but is kind of fun 😊

[@EnzoPlays1234]

Oh and which person are you?

[@HappyGamer_YT]

corgi did that already and no recommendations were used

[@EnzoPlays1234]

wdym?

[@HappyGamer_YT]

@@EnzoPlays1234 I mean corgi made such a vid too and none of his recommendations were used. It was a while ago

[@EnzoPlays1234]

@@HappyGamer_YT Gotcha, must be a bit older.

[@LS-x3k]

Last update feels like shit.

[@EnzoPlays1234]

Sigh

[@jamesduston9292]

I play the game for a while but I simply do not have any idea what you mean by “one row”

[@EnzoPlays1234]

So essentially, at the start of august, the creator introduced an update that allowed all attacks taking one row (before it wasn't like this). This enabled people to spam attacks (for context, people in single player could get more troops and 4x as much land as the previous period in the past. If you check out some of my other vids about 'cheating' (it really feels like an exploit), you can see the results. It was nerfed a bit, but essentially in games now you still see people just spamming 100% 😵‍💫 Does that help?

[@jamesduston9292]

@@EnzoPlays1234 I still don't get it. Are you saying an attack, no matter how small or how dense the defense is, pushes one row of pixels into territory?

[@EnzoPlays1234]

@@jamesduston9292 So that is how it was originally for a few weeks (This vid kind of shows it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKq5nXyBrdyBkJI&t ). The point is by just spamming 100% (or 0%), you could have openings that approach 4x efficiency. It has been changed a bit (we don't know all the details because the change log wasn't updated), but there are still elements that work. This vid from Azasi actually explains it better, and basically shows by send 0% attacks, you just win the opening😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKeXcqVtmd6MZsUsi=QHv2XUdkPXEvDCEZ&t=38

[@YedidyaCohen-r8t]

I think if we had a new developer this game would atleast be the most popular io game

[@EnzoPlays1234]

Idk about the whole Io landscape, but I do feel confident in saying that David's changes have scuttled potential growth.

[@Ahmed-xo9hk]

Pretty much the only good update in the past 2 months has been the addition of a new lb tbh

[@GrassyHills202]

i mean peace vote and boat animations are really good but aside from that everything else is kinda meaningless , like the bot usernames becoming smaller , this is detrimental for players like me who can't just zoom in at every bot

[@EnzoPlays1234]

Reflecting, I think I agree. There are elements of account infrastructure I think is cool direction wise, but yeah a lot of wth is going on.

[@EnzoPlays1234]

@@GrassyHills202 I mean mechanically, yeah. Like I am adapting to stuff, but just reflecting starting to get the new meta, I just wonder what has been accomplished. Very little, and a bunch of people have been annoyed 😂

[@priyansh_12391]

i want the interest to never go below 0.05% but its a very unpopular opinion

[@EnzoPlays1234]

I hear you. That is a bit esoteric. I kind of just don't want David unweaving the fabric of the game for starters 😂 Then maybe think through other ideas ;)

[@IZHAANNAJEEBMH]

Wanna ruin your game? Just ask David Tschacher

[@EnzoPlays1234]

Unfortunately :( The odd thing is, most of these changes are obviously paired with downsides.... :/

[@biohazerdtrollztrolls4798]

last time i played before boat changes boats were tiny white 1 pixel dots lol wtf is this boat nonsense. boats currently are very diff sizes bassed on troops and the whitish transparency is also diff sizes around them o.O Also ur a bot players 99% of ur recommendations are bot related and you admit it in ur own video lolol u hate tougher bots so u want easy bots

[@EnzoPlays1234]

This is such a funny comment. Starting off by not having played for years, it sounds like you don't know about some of the nuances of the recent update in a contextual sense. If things feel good to you coming back, happy for you. Nonetheless, if you talk to most people, you are probs going to hear the same things. Every recommendation in this video was actually agreed upon by about 8 people with extensive experience in itt....so not sure about perspective, dude

[@biohazerdtrollztrolls4798]

@@EnzoPlays1234 its bassed on last time i played and idk i watch some top players on here who enjoy the new bot system o.O last time i played boats were small 1 pixel white dots with no indications now they are easier than ever to tell what is there. sizes very depending on troops and the white area around them also changes lol i played for years as well lol Talk to most people ? so you talked to most of the dalie count of players? i know some tubers who are some of the top players dont mind said stuff your on about and have said so in there videos :D or they are neutral about said changes lol That alone shows your making ALOT of assumptions to make claim that *MOST* players agree with you when infact you have not *TALKED* to most players lol

[@EnzoPlays1234]

@@biohazerdtrollztrolls4798 Nonetheless, to respond to your comment. It sounds like a year+ gap. Boats were a lot better pre-August (but I guess you have no perspective on that, because you didn't play on the balance being compared to...). It is really cool you have met other people! And it is awesome that they are really good I Have not heard of any engaged player having a positive opinion of the bots; maybe there are some neutrals at best. LOVE the caps 😂 Man, you are going to do really well in the coal mine when you turn 7!
