This battle was basically dominated by the tank team till the boss got access to the charge attack, then he just mowed them down. Team wouldve died sooner if they werent shield spamming and guarding allies for sure. Really cool battle

[@alduintheanti-dragonborn]

I personally think the minigun attack was the beginning of the end for the tank team. The other attacks were either to easily dodged or shielded against, but once the minigun came into play? That was when the team began sustaining damage.

[@Rayes2K]

Yeah same thought here, red performed beautifully towards the end Personally, the point where the boss had 3 marbels and tanky boys got 1 was the breaking point, if they had 2 marbels to his 3, maybe they could have pulled through

@@alduintheanti-dragonborn Не только миниган, но и рывки оказали страшное влияние, ведь из-за длинных рывков в сторону маленьким танкам приходилось ехать до него выстраиваясь часто в шеренгу, а так же летящие ракеты не могли нанести урон ведь не успевали долетать и босс уничтожал их своими снарядами.

Very interesting, the Charge+Minigun combo changed everything

[@dominicfisher2395]

The charge was what made him win

[@danielruiz8259]

Underrated moment at 6:21 Red protecting cyan with the shield

[@No-vy4jp]

Actually, that happened a lot of times throughout the video. One tank would have a shield up and block attacks for the other tanks.

[@seanshepherd1071]

That went surprisingly well for the little tanks.

The fact that they basically got marbles for dead tanks means that their firepower never went down too much.

Boss: I won! Red missles: Let's see if you can survive this.

[@EnablingBarley]

Man that was a great fight and a close battle for sure, really clutch.

[@Dark_Slayer3000]

It surely couldn't have been closer than this. Literal seconds and both teams died at the end. Especially because this is an AI simulation. Really shows that Lost Marbles is excellent at balancing :D

[@KalijahAnderson]

I don't think the "winner" won on this. It was so close. The boss still died, in a military battle, that's not really a win, that's a draw.

[@lostmarbles2d]

I agree. From all of my test runs it was never this close so I didn't account for that being an option. But after how epic the ending was I left it as is - but I will see if I can implement a "draw" condition for instances just like this.

[@Dark_Slayer3000]

This has to be one of the most interesting marble "races" I've seen. It combines the simple visible marble mechanism with an actual exciting AI fight. That's top tier content of its kind and I'm glad you were able to pull this off

[@JamesTDG]

this is pretty neat, it's kinda like a bridge between the standard mode and space battle edit: concept for future use?: have the brightness of the marble in the plinko act as a sort of 2nd health bar display

[@mairder6773]

That was very good. Very entertaining! And with nice tank designs. More than I could expect from a channel relatively small to subscribers.

[@lostmarbles2d]

Thank you very much!

[@admDanRyan]

Damn, it took down all the tanks but it would seem they still got it

[@amethyphoenix]

They still lost as the boss survived with 56 HP before Red's remaining shots caught up with it, so it's not like there's a definitive tie

[@kyuirah]

Who would have guess random marble drops could create such an intense battle omg. The tanks shielding eachother was amazing and it was so close!! technically a draw in my eyes!!

[@shadowblocks2905]

Wow so close At the start I thought the boss wouldn't stand a chance because he was missing so much but the minigun really turned the fight around

[@SeanMirrsen]

Hah. Quite excellent. Unfortunately my color was the first to get taken out. Still a great battle. :) My first instinct is to say that the missiles are a wee bit overpowered. Comparing the missiles to the cannon on the small tanks, they do a whole lot more damage and are far less likely to miss. Similar problem to how they are in the space battles. The shotgun on the boss tank does do a good job of clearing stray missiles though, so perhaps the issue is less that the missiles are overpowered, but that the cannon becomes relatively useless, especially when the boss starts dashing. Some ideas, then: - Make the small tank cannon shots faster, so they're more likely to hit the boss even when it maneuvers. Maybe space the three-round burst a bit more, so the three shots are a half-second apart each, rather than all together fired within a half-second. You can flavor the boss' cannon to be a mortar instead, with the slow shot and area damage. - With how much the tanks are moving around, some kind of mine dispenser weapon would be interesting I think. For the boss, specifically. - Second chances. If the boss receives extra firepower (esp. with mines), it could be interesting to give the small tanks a 'second chance' (and third, etc) to continue fighting. If the tank's HP reaches 0, it stops being able to move and fire, and is counted 'out', becoming disabled. The boss won't actively aim at it. If the boss drives over a disabled tank (or dashes into it) the tank is permanently destroyed. However if a friendly tank bumps into it, the tank receives a little 10HP pick-me-up from the friendly, and can continue fighting. I don't know how balanced it would be or how well it would work, but it's an idea, heh. :P That's about all the ideas I can think of. Keep up the great work! :)

[@lostmarbles2d]

Some great ideas, thank you! The missiles are intentionally stronger as it is ultimately still a game of chance, but perhaps a bit too powerful compared to the cannon. The cannon bullet speed was fine tuned so that tanks can still dodge by just driving around. Next version I'm working on has a multiply or release type cannon instead. Mortar idea is is a good solution for one of the scrapped weapon ideas I had - a Nuke that travelled slowly and detonated at a set distance. A mortar visual would definitely look better!

[@finaltheory778]

@@lostmarbles2d I think shields can be changed, it can be destroyed, but it will disappear after longer than 3 seconds Boss can enter to "rage mode" after the hit points is reduced to a certain amount, then the boss will be tougher to beat The shells should fall onto the ground after travelling too far(limited range for each type of attacks)

[@KillerKing001]

Best Marbel Game....Preise more bossfight!! Nice!!

[@doom9658]

you gotta make a playable version man this would low key be a co-op game I would play!

[@lostmarbles2d]

Hmm, just wondering what would be a good control scheme... or rather, how much should the marbles marble?

[@doom9658]

@@lostmarbles2d the marbles should marble the most marbles a marble can XD

[@_m889]

@@lostmarbles2d tanks control like tanks, but have the marble system and have them stock up on that type of attack. It would be too over powered if the boss could spam mini gun, so have a limit of 3 on all his attack stockpile, and 5 on the normal tanks stockpile. Charge would also be overpowered in separating one from the group, so give the small tanks a smaller dash.

[@jonathanschmitt5762]

I think the ending is the best example of how a war usually goes.

[@S2468YT]

This battle is incredibly well made! Ideas I got: Make the boss tank have a true form, like a spaceship hybrid! Make the boss tank heal itself. Make the boss tank have weak points, then the main weak spot after them. 🚀 💥 The boss’s themes should be: Fixions - Maniac (1st form) DM DOKURO - Universal Collapse (final form) Also add more boss abilities like: Boss summons enemies of any type, including minibosses Boss has a voice (you can add voice lines that we can see too to make it look like TDS on Roblox) Boss has shield hp Boss can shield himself for 5 seconds Boss’s name should be like ‘Metallion’ Boss’s final form name should be ‘True Metallion’

[@lostmarbles2d]

Weak points is a great idea, thank you!

Not gonna lie, I'm actually rooting for the boss tank to survive until the end. At first it seems underpowered with only cannon available, at least until all of the weapons unlocked it becomes a force to be reckoned with.
