Stellaris Noob Deathmatch

[@Jernsaxe]

Coaching Nagi was an absolute pleasure and it was great to hear people enjoying this sort of content. Who knows, this might not be the last "noob deathmatch" :)

[@Outpost969]

Truth be told, this is quite refreshing. Seeing lower player levels play and getting coached on what to do to help, but still letting them play.

[@DrNagi]

Oh and full disclosure for anyone wondering what my playtime is: 2610 hours.

[@MontuPlays]

'noob' was a very strong word!

[@noxlondez]

This was very fun playing along to, almost like I got coached too. This "idiot sandwich" wants more of this.

[@DrNagi]

I totally forgot about living standards.

[@PimpNamedDragonBalls]

What living standards Bare substance is all anyone needs

[@DariusT32]

This is one of my favorite videos you have done. I learned a lot and could actually follow!

[@DarlekProductions]

2:35:27 second match, Montu.

Et tu brute?

I am nothing but consistent

[@ThomasWright27188281828]

The format is really enjoyable as a change from more polished matches. For the second half IMO it would be more interesting if you kept the players original builds (perhaps with some tweaks), to demonstrate how to improve the strategy they were originally going for, rather than just giving them a completely different build.

[@davidwoodmansee6233]

Are you implying we weren’t polished? 🤣

[@PimpNamedDragonBalls]

I agree!

[@dominiclabbe6092]

Watching on delay. Coaching was fun to watch. Suggestion would be to slow down the game on occasion and mostly explain why the coaches are recommending such actions. Not sure the noobs were understanding that ( and me neither).

[@Tetley1985]

Really great series, its good to understand why things are good/bad. It be great to understand why territory was kept so small, both had loads of influence. Thats my noob question 😂. Also i agree with others than it would be good if both games were played with the same races to see the specific improvements, though i like the idea of you guys making the races for them.

[@Jernsaxe]

In the 2nd game both Montu and I expected the other to be very aggressive, meaning over expanding was going to hurt us. Nagi expanded enough to get a 2nd planet and a few stations for food production and naval cap. But everything past that is a waste of alloys.

[@Tetley1985]

@@Jernsaxe Makes sense, would be great to understand what territory should be taken in a normal game. I wold assume most of us would grab everything we can! :D

[@Jernsaxe]

In general you want systems with useable planets and large mineral deposits in the early game. If you can get a nice choke point that also doesn't hurt. After that it is often best to save your influence to claim a neighbour and eat them @@Tetley1985

[@matielholloway]

Great video as always. I’m not a min/max player. Always preferred RP types of play throughs myself. That is until the dreaded late game lag kills my game.

[@Starhartdeer]

That reformed government ending was a fun twist xD

[@MarlKitsune]

As someone that can't handle Multiplayer loving these vids

[@jaredpearce4244]

So sad I missed this live, but definitely enjoy the watch. I play on Commodore myself (not good enough for anything higher yet).

Jernsaxe is a cognitohazard: CONFIRMED.

[@RBrim08]

I feel like it's false advertising to say that the current beta is "3.11" given that they specifically stated it's the "technology beta". It's the same thing when they were testing out Industrial Districts. They weren't guaranteed to come, they were testing to see how it worked. It tested well, so they decided to add them to a proper patch. The new technology beta, however, is receiving very mixed reception. So it might not be implemented.

[@nesaonvelmont1335]

Montu I would enjoy watching you play HOI4 as I am terrible at it and I would love to learn that game from you as I have learned so much from you in stellaris!

[@ynkesfan2003]

2:35:58 2nd match begins

[@Levi-rk6pv]

Hell yeah🎉

[@davidwoodmansee6233]

I have about 1400 hours (roughly)

[@MontuPlays]

I thought you were dead?

[@wedgeantilles8575]

42:30 - stupid question, but I always thought the pops would automaticall switch to specialist jobs if those are avaiable? I play since several years, but I never did anything with my pops on new planets - seems like one of my many mistakes^^ So basically, if you get a new colony, you have to disable the colonists, make them unemplyed, and then they will take the specialst job faster? Correct?

[@MarlKitsune]

Yes disable the colonists to have specialists have priority(unless you have prioritized a worker job) Also they are suppose to not have priority. Colonists were specialist jobs and for some reason seem to still have that priority despite loosing that status.

[@wedgeantilles8575]

@@MarlKitsune Thank you :) It's amazing how little I know about Stellaris after several years^^

[@PimpNamedDragonBalls]

This was great. Absolutely great. I love this coaching/commentary style game with community members. Absolutely wonderfully entertaining!

[@thomasquwack9503]

oh god the katz

[@xKernel_official]

why wasn't you building comercial zones on colonized sections? Is there some economical reason behind or it was just management problem?

[@AizaakThurston]

Any comment on how the tech beta is going? I haven't played since Toxic Knights DLC and probably will hold out until that is done since it sounds like such a big shakeup to me that could make the game feel very different (or not?)

[@MontuPlays]

My second to last video is pretty long but covers the tech rework extensively!

[@AizaakThurston]

@@MontuPlays Ohh yah I watched it. I mean like if you think it's good so far since you said you played it a lot recently.

[@TurboCharge37]

And i thought 100 hrs was alot 😂

[@sherlynohappys5895]

Montu, would you ever do a "2 noobs versus experienced player" video? 2 or more newer players play against you and see if they can win.

[@DrNagi]

Spoiler alert, they won't xD Unless they can each pull at least half of his fleet strength AND coordinate perfectly (which is unrealistic), they don't have a chance.

[@martinfaldt84]

🍺

[@alphacraig4784]

Can we get a real noob deathmatch. Like 2 dudes who have just 5 hours in each or something.

[@FancyHalcyon]

If you like 20 mins long video of Advanced AI devouring a player, then I'm sure you can find such video somewhere

[@alphacraig4784]

@@FancyHalcyon yeah but that's not the same as two real noobs fighting.

[@xKernel_official]

a year or couple ago I watched video when stellaris devs orginized some promo multiplayer session for bloggers who are not a stellaris players. it was really fun to watch.

[@wedgeantilles8575]

Well, what will happen? Both players will spend HOURS upon hours of not doing a lot, definitly not fighting each other. Watching real noobs play against each other results in nothing happening for a real long time. That's already true in a "normal" RTS game like Starcraft and it will be even more true in Stellaris.

[@wedgeantilles8575]

@@xKernel_official Yeah, because this stuff is (often) scripted. Or at least they bloggers know how to give a show. Real noobs do not know what to do - so nothing is happening at all. That is not fun to watch, that is just boring in the extreme.

[@xKernel_official]

is there way to disable pausing for single player games, if i just want to practice?

[@MontuPlays]

Just don't pause? You need to change your settings so it doesn't autopause on events as well!

[@xKernel_official]

@@MontuPlays I've just too used to do it, it's some kind of direct connection between what I hear and how my fingers react, without brain involved :)

[@garrettcarver8346]

There is probably a mod for that. If you can’t find a mod you could un-map the keyboard shortcut for pausing so it’s not so automatic for you

[@turoschmak2853]

Unrelated to the game itself, thank you for recognizing the drop on watchtime from the googleplex.
