The Double City Neolithic Era Strategy | Humankind Max Difficulty [#1]

[@firecopscott]

This is actually quite helpful for developing potential strategies. I appreciate hearing your thought process as events unfold.

[@zackzaktm2758]

I love this style of video! We get great knowledge from your specific guides regarding specific mechanics, but it can be difficult to piece together just how to put it all together and this style of video builds that cohesion. I'm really happy to see the big picture- an edits make it a bit easier to consume. Thank you for the excellent video! Looking forward to part 2!

[@ElijahAhSha]

This is the content I love to see. I don't have the time to watch all your livestreams but love your commentary so edited playthroughs are very much the move.

[@liammurphy2725]

Agree totally.

[@sanogoadamagyram8166]

I am really happy to see edited games from you I know they will be awesome looking forward to the second episode and all the ones to come!!

[@shivamkochhar3929]

i really like this edited format keep it up my man

[@liammurphy2725]

Yes mate. Keep smashing out great edited content like this and I love you long time.

[@romulusnuma116]

I really enjoyed this edited video I like the livestreams but it's a nice change of pace

[@werdfeefs7027]

Definitely liked the format and gameplay of this video! Clearly sticking around in the neolithic era is *super* powerful, at least on the faster game speeds.

[@charlesdang2557]

Great idea bro. I sometimes hang around to get 11 or 12 scouts and 90 influence, but to get 160 for the 2nd city is not a bad idea

[@SolEvil]

Really like the edited gameplay. Its much easier to digest videos that arent multiple hours long.

[@maj.kingkong3004]

Love the edited game play. Have you considered doing an “over-explained” series at normal or slow speed where you go into some detail as to how and why you are doing things.

[@JumboPixel]

Yes - I have definitely thought about that! It's something I'd like to do

[@peuthi]

I like the play through with the slower parts edited out.

[@cyclone159]

Yes make more. It was fun to watch.

[@ionromeodinu9384]

Very much appreciated Jumbo 🙏🙏 Was wondering when the first let's play will make debut on your channel. Hope for many more 👍👍👍

[@r_rumenov]

RazorDude here, thanks for the great content (as always) AND using my persona!

[@madsciencenerd]

Yes Yes Yes. MORE LET'S PLAY TYPE SERIES

[@ricopoisson]

I always found it odd that the school doesn't get the adjacency when it is placed next to mountains regardless whether they are in your territory or not

[@Solomon.R]

Adjacency is extraction in this game. If it's not in the same or connected territory the adjacency won't apply for yeilds.

[@JumboPixel]

it does feel a little odd doesn't it - I could understand it if they were claimed by someone else.. but if they're just sitting there why not study them Zhou?!

[@XerxesPrinceOfPersia]

@@JumboPixel it would be cool if there was some sort of culture bomb that dynamically changes territories so im not claiming a territory for a couple of mountains on the edge of a city

[@timwhitman3207]

This is my first time discovering your channel, got recommended to me coming from some potato mcwhisky humankind stuff. I really enjoy this edited video style of content! Would definitely sub to you to see more of it!

[@001648]

Jumbo, I loved it, very different than usual but for quick viewing, this was really good. The editing was spot on and you still managed to capture your "live/streaming" energy that makes you so fun to watch! Have you thought about a lil music playing super quiet in the background? Love your stuff! Go Scottstraya forever

[@eightyfiv32]

"deez nuts" XD I cant help but laugh each time he says that

[@pdraggy]

I spend a long long time and gather 20+ pops whenever I want to play an unpopular civilization like the Assyrians, because the cpu ALMOST never picks them :). on 'the Assyrians are never good' you REALLY should try them. Just popping out that dundu or w/e on every outpost auto generates so much influence you'll soon have a LARGE amount of influence just by running around. OFC it matters how you play too, I always play on a large map, normal speed and 6-8 players so that gives me enough TIME and SPACE to 'hoover' up the unattached territory to give me enough influence to claim one or more per turn. if playing on a too small map, with too many players so they take up the map quickly, OR on blitz mode (they really need time to get their influence machine going). But based on one of your earliest tips, just land grab in the earliest eras, I think you would LOVE the Assyrians!

[@pdraggy]

This actually would have been a spectacular Assyrian start. with them you want the militarist tenets and militarist cultures that the CPU (barring the Huns :/ I doubt I'll EVER get my dream combo of the Assyrians -> Huns) really almost never picks, which allows you to 'play' from behind.

[@Shadoewlf]

The edited gameplay for the tutorial type videos. Although I especially like the longer videos because I am playing Humankind along with them.

[@dnaseb9214]

I always do that, I had no idea it was a strategy. Btw, are there any mods to make the eras last longer ? I tried endless mod, but the eras last the same as normal. Especially the ancient era, where if you pick a culture with a expensive unique unit, you will never get to use it because you dont have the resources and allies dont either. Like hittite chariots with 2 horses and copper.

[@OinkOinkOinkOink]

"Woof". My new expression now

[@SeedorBunchu]

love it

[@rambutan7768]

Three minutes in and I already hear a deez nuts joke. Truly a blitz playthrough indeed. 🤣

[@Lazuli901]

This was a fun watch, but I do hate blitz mode. There's just not enough time to enjoy anything, in addition to not being able to keep up :P

[@gudmundursteinar]

I saw that mountain and went ZHOU! in my mind

[@nachexrocker]

When attacking Mamuts on Neolitic do it with an army of 3 units or 2, to get the food and pop, when doing it with 4 units, you don't get the extra

[@jichnun]

stay at the neo for units. get 10-12 atleast and put them inside ur first 2 cities. gives a huge boost. i now see u already used it hahaha. i found this is the winner for humankind/blitz...

[@medmate4861]

Why do u need the gold stars? Is it give some boosts? Video is awesome. Recently have started to play humankind and your guides help me to defeat civilisation difficulty experts AI

[@elimacmichael3147]

Nice Quinton Tarantino reference

[@pokerjoker2665]

God start

[@Klatchan]

You DO have a decent number of Research Quarters, actually - you built a bunch of the Zhou emblematic districts.

[@jayhenry2197]

So how viable is this strategy? Was it luck of the map, or is this going to be an option consistently? Seems great if you know you're already falling behind a little. I wonder how it would work if you're ahead in stars and eras.

[@evanragland4930]

I thought the +4 pop after losing all your population was nerfed. I lost mine yesterday (mostly going for the achievement) but only got one pop back?

[@mazlanmohamat5724]

hey in 3:10 why is your relocate outpost only cost 3 influences, mine almost 200+

[@GamerX13X]

What map settings do you normally use?

[@forestgreenhobbit]

Were the map and AI opponent settings mentioned?

[@tby3812]

How do your Units move so fast in combat? I feel like mine take twice as long and I couldn't find a setting to adjust that :/

[@JumboPixel]

It’s just an animation speed setting - I’m not in game otherwise I’d check it’s exact name for you now. Something to do with unit animation speed.

[@Loaderdani]

You forgot to change the appearance of your religion.

[@lavabeard5939]

how come he only needs 5 food to make a new neolithic unit?

[@JumboPixel]

He’s playing on blitz mode

[@frederick6618]

You still doing Humankind?

[@JumboPixel]

Ahhhh yes!

[@JeffDonnah]

Its "bear" not "beer" ... you talk funny ;~)

[@AIXMK1]

Nishe

[@Incogneto1981]

What is this???
