This Chess Piece Is UNKILLABLE! - Ouroboros King

[@oriolcosp805]

Hi there, I'm Oriol the dev of the game. Sorry about the bug, all moves should've been bishop moves, it'll be fixed by release (Feb 27th). I'm also working on extra AI difficulty, but that may come in a patch after release. Thanks again for playing my game Tyler! :D

[@awaredeshmukh3202]

Ayyy it seems like an awesome game, fantastic job!!

Ah so that *was* a bug. Game looks cool, excited for it to come out next week!

Can't wait until people make chess engines for this game so you can see how your best move was actually to bongcloud into blade dancer.

[@theuseraccountname]

Someone could do it today since Fairy Stockfish exists, but not sure how to use it.

[@kdevelopergw]

Fairy stockfish is a thing

[@9volt65]

Game already (probably) uses Fairy Stockfish. It’s open source and free. No reason *not* to.

[@TlalocTemporal]

@@9volt65 -- No way any form of stockfish is used here. Even at the highest AI difficulty the AI was making really weak moves. I guess it could be stockfish but forced to make junk moves occasionally, but that feels bad.

19:15 I find it funny that he forgot the immortal was immortal in the immortal build episode

[@coltonwarren9478]

The immortal can be taken by a king/general but the king/general can't take it if it is protected.

@@billyoneshot3337 Idk then, maybe because Mounted King has “king” in its name?

[@JosiahBradley]

A general is any controlling unit on the board so counts anything including all king upgrades. Its phrasing is used in several chess games.

[@paulzagieboylo7315]

The interaction between Assassin/Blade Dancer and Piece in a Bottle seems weird and under-defined, definitely questionable.

[@3eve0n]

Dev has said it's a bug, all moves were supposed to be bishop moves in that last battle.

[@kkTeaz]

I don't understand why these videos get less viewership they're so engaging??

[@noricomin4413]

I'm so glad you're doing a video on this piece, you took it in one of your previous runs but sacrificed it for a manticore.

[@zarnox3071]

That classic Age of Empires edit at 8:57 was pretty nice.

[@eden3669]

oh god i just realized how many times he's gonna say the words "my immortal" in this video so much psychic damage

[@kiro274]

Now imagine if Stockfish played Ouroboros King.

[@theuseraccountname]

I've played Chesscraft and CEO (Chess Evolved Online). Having an uncapturable piece that can capture other pieces is beyond broken. Probably worth around 28 points, if it can even be evaluated that way. Also, if this game implemented the Fairy Stockfish chess engine, at max depth, you would lose. Be careful what you wish for.

[@drottningu]

Props to the editors for highlighting the relevant items so us dumb folks can still be highly entertained by this video!!! 10/10

[@CB-lh4ph]

19:14 he cant take with the knight. it's immortal

[@pat9353]

If the ai was too good, I’m not sure it’d even be possible to win. Either way it should totally affect difficulty rating.

[@TaranVaranYT]

If you're lucky enough, surround your king with them and nothing can checkmate you. Since Kings and Generals are the only pieces that can kill an Immortal, they can bypass your barrier, but since neither of you can move into check without losing, that isn't a good move so you can just sit back and relax while the enemy can't do anything (you need at least one other piece so you can attack).

[@jonathanschmitt5762]

16:29 The Black King: so anyways, I started taking.

[@JosiahBradley]

[@Dxck]

RETURN OF THE “ROOK”

[@Crazyclay78YT]

with the difficulty thing at the end, its not like stockfish where it knows the best move at any possible time up to like 20 moves into the future. i think the dev just made an ai that thinks just a couple moves into the future since it isnt THAT smart tbh. at times it did make some actually really good plays, but obviously sometimes it blundered. hm, maybe thats why it isnt an engine and ai instead?

[@Kirby-vd7hw]

Please continue the "rook" or "check" memes they are my favorite reoccurring joke in this series.

[@3eve0n]

20:55 looks like a bug. why would the 2nd move have bishop movement but not the 3rd? it doesn't make sense.

[@PANGPOWER]

I definitely hope this game gets more content updates, currently it seems cool but there's so much potential for more

[@asupremetab]

Thank you for the video Tyler and editors!

[@KristapsK1]

8:57 just this edit alone makes me want to see Tyler play Age of Empires 2 (either HD of definitive edition), which is where the edit came from

[@blanky6739]

just wanna say that from my perspective the ai difficulty making their moves stronger is not a placebo and they played much better than before

"rook" is actually so funny.

[@Beast10x1]

I have to say blade dancer + bottles is kinda broken, I hope they nerf that a bit, otherwise you spend 300-400 gold and insta win the boss fights.

[@majickman]

Yeah neither of them should be able to capture the king imo, except maybe if blade dancer does it as its first move. That and/or limit blade dancer to two moves. Edit: also blade dancer's ability should be nullified under bottles. If it's supposed to move like a rook, it shouldn't get extra moves.

[@Subt0nix]

@@majickman or just make it unable to use bottles which is a significantly better option than nerfing a piece.

[@majickman]

@@Subt0nix Blade dancer absolutely deserves a nerf even if bottles didn't exist. You can fork any two pieces and most of the time you can keep chaining from there until you capture the king, or at least wipe several pieces of the board in one turn. And even if your chain fails you get to retreat for free. It's by far the most powerful piece in the game right now.

[@Zicrus]

19:14 I thought the immortal could only get captured by the king?

[@slavicity]

generals can take it too

[@FranXiT]

Ahhh yes, why take a king when you can take a Lepper instead?

[@Hidfuskno]

Blade dancer works with rocks! If you ever have a blade dancer and have the opportunity to get the shovel which places rocks you can sometimes win in 1 or 2 turns and sometimes you get a lot of pieces because of the combo

[@Zack_Zander]

Gotta say that any Bottle item with the Portal Mage is pretty broken. The opponent’s King/General doesn't see the Portal Mage as a threat, but by using a bottle you can immediately take the King/General out.

[@sabarathore5174]

19:15 He didn't even take with the knight? Me: it's the immortal, they can't take with the knight, only kings can take it.

[@Nuh._uh.]

little hint: when in battle on the top left is the money that if you checkmate the enemy general, if you reach low or even 0 gold might as well draw

[@RealWildestOne]

If he were to draw, he wouldn't get the reward for the map destination either. You always want checkmate.

1:31 What a ripoff. Immortal got killed by pointy sticks on flat board.

[@TheHonestL1ar]

Maybe I'm not fully understanding the rules or I'm just missing something, but I believe that Tyler could've just ended the match at 9:55 with his Blade Dancer. Using the top left of the board as the origin, if he'd moved through the portal and taken the Pegasus at F4, then the Rook at F2, the Bishop at D2, then the General/King at F1, that would've been game right then. Edit: After reviewing the description of the Blade Dancer, it moves by "jumping," so maybe it can't use portals. If so, that's kinda dumb, but probably done that way specifically to not make that piece too OP.

[@somenonsense7997]

The bottles just seems to make a piece **able** to move like something else.

[@tdubmorris5757]

In the marsh of madness level 6 you could have used rook in the bottle on immortal and move to the square right in front of tabetha, and its defended by agent +, meaning you would have won on move 2
