3:30 Idk man, if i see Oumaji border the 2nd Swordsman Gambit Opening is hella tempting. 1st Swordsman : "Prepare for trouble.. " 2nd Swordsman : ".. Make it double."

[@thephill_osopher7245]

Irs such a pain trying to find established and tested openings for tribes, im glad this came out when it did:))

[@catgirlkiana]

Cymanti can also train a warrior turn 0 and boost it Not sure how it compares to turn 0 fungi but it's another option if you want to explore more early game, which can help with how aggressive cymanti is

[@shughes5778]

I think generally 2 warriors plus explorer (on smaller or more crowded maps) accomplishes the same thing.

[@orcaguy3516]

yeah thats also how i play cymanti

[@thomaspeterson6097]

I always prioritized relics over cities of I spot them. I almost never prioritize riding towards the beginning and found it interesting you had such a emphasis on it woth a few civs. I fluctuate between 1550-1650 elo and thought it was interesting that we have different playstyles

[@astral7-]

DEFINITELY want a how-to-guide for deciding what techs to pick and when. Great vid btw

[@Arsen592_Old]

Hey, GullYY, maybe you'll make a video about Zebasi being new meta? Because they were buffed by the fact that burn forest ability was moved into construction, which allows them to spam high level windmills and markets very early in the game.

[@30Salmao]

Don't think Zebasi is new meta just because of this buff. Solid, but not true meta.

[@ilno]

​@@30Salmao yeah all those farms stood no chance to boosted centipedes, Hexapods and Exidas

[@joshdamighty]

Zebasi meta sleeper strat: Go Construction as your first upgrade, then riders, roads, and then markets late game for the most broken economy thanks to burning forests to make farms to boost windmills to increase markets. Adapt by going Riders early if you need to pursue expanding faster or pressure your opponent. Bigger maps and more opponents, it is better to go riders earlier.

[@Neb775]

Yes, a technology video would be really good! Great tutorial! Good to know that starting my games like this is the right way.

[@emangole8595]

Thanks for the vid Gully, I have never even thought about going for riders right away with luxidoor. Been a fan of you for years and I love that your posting more regularly. Keep at it bro your awesome!

[@extrafoxjj]

For Ai-mo, try not to attack until you get the Altar of Peace

[@owenschmidt6166]

This might be a dumb idea but I’d like to see a similar video for like turns 5-10. Love you videos keep it up!

[@MemeGodAzul]

We appreciate ur work & dedication. I love ur voice, personality & knowledge. U helped me a lot in the past, even now to be a good poly player. Thank you. 🙏

[@averagegdplayer-vh5hc]

For Vengir I would just say don't play Vengir lol

[@owenschmidt6166]

Do you prefer oumaji?

[@averagegdplayer-vh5hc]

Dude this is so helpful thanks

[@Sidharth_V_Jain]

Thank you so much for this, much needed video!

[@Chara-yp6zj]

Cool to see that I already did most of these openings myself. And for the ones I didn't, I hadn't known them before and I learned how to use them better. Coolio

[@CibuYT]

as a yadakk player, this helps a lot, thanks. I never considered starting with a road, I always go organisation first, even delaying getting another warrior

[@thomaspeterson6097]

Never get an economic tech it you don't immediately get to upgrade using it.

[@CibuYT]

@@thomaspeterson6097 yeah of course I just usually still waited until I had 9 stars and did organisation into upgrade

[@ivraDiaNCE]

Great video, a cool idea for another series would be to review replays that people send to you and break them down, kind of like what you did with some of your own replays in the past. I had a crazy archipelago game where I won because of aquatism (no, seriously) and I think you might like it 😃

[@theraccoonest]

Please make an updated guide on how to three star tribes

[@theraccoonest]

Also good video. And how on Earth do you not get burnt out from months of uploading and still find a way to make content?

[@GullYYGamer]

Planned. As for not getting burned out, I absolutely did (plus college taking my time). I'm back now though!

[@theraccoonest]

Nice! And thank you, take a break whenever for being in college too. I’m sure the rest of the community won’t mind either!

[@kaden6054]

I would love to see a video about what tech to research. I usually find myself buying multiple tech when I could have a similar outcome with one tech.

[@mysticcr8tor773]

A nice thing that you could've added is the fact imperius, Quetz, and xin have village conditions

[@GullYYGamer]

Yes I plan on bringing that up when I make guides for each tribe

[@owenschmidt6166]

What’s a village condition?

[@GullYYGamer]

@owenschmidt6166 Imperius and Quetzali villages cannot have empty tiles within a 1 tile radius of them All Mountains within a 1 tile radius of a Xin-Xi village must have metal

[@mysticcr8tor773]

@@owenschmidt6166 imperius and quetzali villages cannot have a tile next to it that is empty, xin-xi and vengir mountains next to villages have to have metal.

You're uploading very frequently now, nice

[@restfulflames9855]

Great video Gullyy👍

[@nsimmonds]

I'd love to see Aquarion revisited here. I know it's not great but it'd still be nice to see an analysis of the opening.

[@MagicBeanUwU]

[@JohnnyTheBest]

I would love to see more of cymanty gameplay

[@thomaspeterson6097]

Cymanti is for pimps

[@SilverFan21k]

Aquarion: 2nd Amphibian 🐢

[@arthasthelichking6213]

Xinxi: warrior t0, meditation T2 actually makes sense on medium map or larger. I was very sceptical, but it really does work against slower tribes. Oumaji: double rider is risky. Often it's better to do a warrior because you will lvl up village quicker.

[@dragetgame6422]

With Quetzali being my most favorite tribe, i usually open by getting Organization and upgrade my capital to get workshop for an early star boost

[@Dmitry-r8c]

Cymanti opening misses one key point. On turn 3 you pock second fungi which will do capital level up start of next turn and will give you your 5 stars back so you can continue with tech research pre-capture

[@30Salmao]

Please, make a video breaking down the decision making process in some common situations for each important tech. Would be very useful and interesting ^^

[@SilverFan21k]

Based polytopia video.

[@JohnOnChans]

Very helpful thanks!

[@justaviewer000]

For Xin-xi, I actually upgrade mountain temple thingy to get the altar of peace so that I can upgrade the city for workshop nd hold for atleast 3 turns to get the Mind Bender tech and by 5th turn I get the mining tech and the altar for both and get the 2nd city for myself

[@Lotus23221]

helps out a lot

[@notsocube8452]

Note that you should always move to mountains when playing xin xi to take advantage of the extra vision it provides

[@Liczerify]

Regarding Cymanti, IMO better oppening is to go for 2x warrior and keep shaman safe near the capital. 1st tech should be riding, to start spamming with hexapods. At this point you should already have 2-3 cities and upgraded capital

[@michakoodziej5741]

Thank you. Please make a video about the best choices for the technologies.

[@jbear5155]

With barter on small maps i will upgrade the city then go for archery for a swift attack,works better than riders a lot of the time And on bigger maps i go for forestry, big citys tend to work with me well

[@Lotus23221]

thx for this video

[@huabamane2]

@gullyy the T0 tribes can usually train a third warrior and upgrade a tech before capturing the first city AND then upgrade that city. Do you usually do that? The video makes it look like you only train two warriors

[@craig_menear5796]

Hey gullyy why do you not move warriors towards the corner so that they reveal 5 tiles instead of 3

[@GullYYGamer]

It's better to move towards resources as you have a higher chance of finding a village, even if you're only revealing 3 tiles

[@aa01blue38]

Really useful video, also shows off the strengths of each tribe Except yadakk which is sad

[@jcw1948]

Elyrion is wack. Idk when to only make one polytaur. Should I be poly pushing towards ruins or favor going to the center? Also, they’ve got awful resource rates, so upgrading cities is so slow but idk if there’s a workaround. Typically I just use sanctuaries on turn 5-6 and start to snowball my economy from there.

[@shianeruu4359]

Mid game is where I always struggle at. A video for it would be great

[@yuriikovalov84]

Best opening move for cymanti/polaris/elyrion: 1. Close the game 2. Open the window 3. Step out of the window

[@justsumdude7437]

Essentially: Use what you have and expand quick

[@huabamane2]

Can you make a cymanti counter video now that roads are nerfed. I really struggle against them. Even when I counter them well, they just out-econ me

The workshop upgrade gives you an extra +1 star per turn, on top of the 1 you get from the initial city upgrade

Здравствуйте, Уважаемый Автор, И его команда. Спасибо за ваш труд. Успехов вам ❤

[@sixkicksfightertricks949]

I always open with 2 swordsmen on turn 0 with Vengir. The pair can easily take villages and cities from any nearby enemies. Warriors are almost useless for combat and are not worth the 2 stars. For economy, I buy hunting and go from there. ⚔

[@macbusch9372]

Yes, I like to learn more to understand

[@Shubham-q8w3k]

Can you do elyrion tutorial? ^_^

[@jinanren2026]

cymanti is kinda meta with riding tech. foes have countlessly pummeled me with hexa pod after pod while i try to upgrade cities so it's the most commonly used aggressively in multi( if they're choosin' lakes, chances r, its CYMANTI) oumaji is a risk taker. I also love their skin bein' cats cuz' it means they're tryin to be clever. bcz they ought to find villages but get *ancients* is most optimal for tech tree frugality. if u still can't find anythin i'd move a rider to the furthest mountain, chances r u will find an ancient xin xi should more often than not take meditation. 2nd techs are imperative to success and it just so happens the peace goal still needs to be unlocked. u must beware of elryion crowd control. the number ofo polytaurs foes can summon is virtually limitless. u should burn down forests containing animals so probably farming is best, now that the burn option isnt lumped with chivalry tech. riding is if polytaurs r rlly close. it's also quite hilarious how kickoo kicks polaris' ass in water world. the initial economy is so good that meditation route is optimal. all i recall is crowd controlling with spamming ships and breaking ice. a mechanic should be obvious is units with *dash* can break ice *even after moving* that's just a few. roads are ano' annoyin thing to cover. or yk the foe might hide units on the very fringes of maps. that could happen too if i recall a boosted centipede can do *just* 15 dmg to demolish no def bonus. polytaurs. this helped alot with elryion so personally i'd use cymanti against 'em also for whatever reason getting a veteran swordsman from an ancient gives u one additional unit to train in ur city idk why

[@ryanjohnson1071]

Yes please do a tech video

[@kalinmarcov5151]

hey gully the imperius opening is not good also the zebasi one that you just showed imperius most of the time opens with three warriors riding before getting the city and upgrading the city the same turn. Zebasi the most solid opening in my experience is getting 2 warriors upgrading second village and then riding
