370 tanks vs 31,000 rifleman. The riflemen just melted on contact with the tanks. That was quite something....

[@TheSuperNoobGamer99]

370 tanks, but + zeppelins

[@bruxinth4660]

Sufficient quality > mass quantity. The tanks were able to withstand the gunshots of the infantry while the infantry could not withstand even a single shot from a tank that can hit multiple in a single blast. The tanks were so unfazed that I bet they could have taken on another wave 3 times the size or more.

A pretty well balanced fight until the GREAT OFFENSIVE was deployed.

[@Dubanx]

I thought the 31,000 riflemen would at least put up a fight, but the 370 tanks were too much.

You know, I've watched every one of these. Each time I choose a color that I hope wins. Out of every one of these I've seen, I've lost every time.

The most insane part is that the odds of this happening is 0.00002384%.

[@KalijahAnderson]

This wasn't so much a trench war as it was a tsunami simulator at the end.

[@bruxinth4660]

Trench wars are infamous for the excessive but necessary amount of men, weapon types, and tactical superiority just to make a meaningful dent. WWI only ended in unconditional surrender instead of armistice because the allies finally had the critical mass of all these three things to make a one big push to victory. If Germany hadn’t been so weakened economically into a famine by the time the USA was dragged in, but had been fighting on truly equal terms, neither side could have conquered the other, which is why Germany offered a rather gracious armistice in 1916 that would have been signed by Britain and France if the USA wasn’t dragged in. As much as the allied propaganda painted Germany as a war mongering tyrant bent on enslaving the world to their rule, German High Command had little interest in continuing the war due to the growing starvation and inevitable total defeat it represented. It makes one wonder why France and Britain didn’t feel the same way about their own countries and nationals if they truly were the peace loving nations they portrayed themselves as.

[@Garulf161]

What about a minefield option? Add mines in the back line to mitigate big and overwhelming attacks. Usually when a big number happens it's game over with no recourse from the other team.

[@jarrodkopf6813]

Orange: If I had a nickel for every time I lose to Blue because he had amassed a bunch of tanks, I would have two nickels. Which is not much, but it says a lot.

Imagine how the battle would've looked if the "All Shoot" Button would use up all the points from the marble so that each is one salvo. I think that would create everlasting bullethail

[@eggegg6448]

Idk if this will be a good suggestion or not, but it's be cool for marbles to get special effects every milestone. Like for example, past 100, they gain an aura or get shinier or something idk

Makes it way easier to spot game-changing marbles and it'll be cool

You have motivated me to start building a similar project. I have relatively little knowledge on game dev, but I love watching these videos, and I think that is a start. Thank you!

[@melodyutley1317]

I absolutely love these videos me and my husband watch them and pick to see who's team wins

[@oohshaohan8976]

To drag things out longer in the end game what about a nuke option Maybe requires a large number like 50 or sth and has a timer until the next time it can be used I was thinking it would spawn in a plane carrying a nuke that will drop it in the area with the highest enemy marble density (i.e. based on the value of each unit at the top, like tanks cost 2 each and infantry is like 1/10 each) But The enemy can just shoot the plane down and it will just blow up when it hits the ground(maybe in this case there's friendly fire? idk)

[@maxbennett5412]

This WWI. No nukes. Maybe something better is the % of lost health increases the marble spawn rate of the losing team.

[@AOW3ray]

@@maxbennett5412 good idea

[@duck-cc4qu]

If blue didn't get that "all shoot" the moment that the 31k orange troops spawned in, ornage might have had a chance (maybe)

[@coltentimon]

that was one hell of a video.

[@coltentimon]

also i got my bet right. my curse has been lifted :)

[@bruxinth4660]

I have ideas that are a bit radical as they would alter just about everything with few exception, but would better simulate trench warfare. First is reorganizing the marble options into promotion (which makes marbles more valuable), defense (units that will aim to fill an empty trench and push forward until it does), offense (units that will not stay put but generally will always move forward towards the enemy with one or two notable exceptions), and tactics (actions like barrage, and constructions like sandbags, barbed wire, etc.). The first chamber consists of the categories, split marble, and copy marble. The promotions chamber contains addition and multiplication bonuses, with the addition 10 and multiply x2 being the first. Within the tactics, offense, and defense chambers are an option that leads to the promotion chamber. Next is unit behavior. Defense units fill and hold trenches, marching straight into enemy controlled territory only if there is no more room. These would be infantry x10, machine gun x3-5, mortars x2-3, Grenadiers x4, etc. The initial offense unit is the infantry bayonet charge x10, which replaces the officer option. As the name suggests, these units will not use rifles, gain a speed and health bonus, and loses bonus after making a one hit contact kill with another marble, at which point reverts to defensive infantry, holding the nearest empty trench. The rest are the typical offense units. The howitzer cannon rolls forward only as far as it needs to shoot an enemy in range, but it cannot move backwards. The cannon prioritizes enemy tanks, cannons, bunkers, sandbags, and the any other ground unit in that order of priority. The zeppelin has the long range ability of the howitzer and two machine guns for defense. It does not stop moving forward. It prioritizes enemy airplanes with the machine guns and zeppelins with both weapons, but will fire on any enemy unit otherwise. It has exquisite armor against infantry and machine guns, but trench mortars can hit the zeppelin, injuring it significantly. When a marble enters into a option that requires more than one promotion to produce one unit and it fails to produce even a single unit, the marble adds one to the payment counter and is sent to promotion. Sandbags can only be realistically injured by explosive shells, taking minimal damage otherwise. Makes as many sandbags as marble has promotions but will only create where space is available in front of friendly units, back line first to forward most. If no space available, marble is split/duplicated if value is one. Barbed wire slows the advancement of troops. Defense units will melee attack opposing barbed wire before moving ahead, but offensive will injure or at least otherwise slow all offensive grounds with the exception of the tank, the tank rolls over and destroys barbed wire. Red cross gives the defenders a healing buff that lasts for half a minute at a time, but cannot heal offensive units (they don’t stay put long enough). Repair restores a damaged bunker’s health by magnitude of the marble’s promotion, healing the front most first. Barrage causes widespread amount of splash damage wherever it lands, but only is realistically capable of killing units that are nearest to center of blast radius. Higher promotions buy more shells, but only three are fired at a time. First promotion buys three and each additional promotion adds one. Smoke is a non lethal barrage that cuts off the line of sight of both sides of the opaque cloud generated by shelling. Only 3 shells can be bought at a time and additional subsequent purchases must wait for the previous clouds to dissipate. Thanks if you actually read this idea dump to the bottom.

[@lostmarbles3d]

Some really cool ideas!

[@n0n-3xistent]

this is actual ww2 lore the orange (axis) push back the blue (allies) with a push (blitzkrieg) until america joins the war and reinforces the blues with tanks and infantry, then the axis tries to push them back with the same tactic they did last time but fail horribly

[@LeopardPool-qv1sx]

The carnage started at 6 minutes, Blue forms a wall of tanks planning to obliterate orange, 7 Minutes orange starts to break the Wall but blue knew that alone Was not Going to work So They prepared an even bigger, better wall of tanks. In a desperate Attempt to fight back orange makes their own wall, a wall Of soldiers. (flesh for terraria fans) despite their desperate Efforts To resist the second they touch the tanks they seem to melt like butter resulting in their ultimate destruction.

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

I noticed a pattern on how split marble works and it's not intuitive at all. It works differently if it's odd or even. Can you confirm this? 1: 1 + 1 = 2 2: 1 + 1 = 2 3: 2 + 2 = 4 4: 3 + 3 = 6 ... odd: (n+1 /2) + (n+1 /2) = n+1 even: (n/2 +1) + (n/2 +1) = n+2

[@lostmarbles3d]

n/2 + 1 regardless Might should change it to odd: half rounded up, even: half I think the reason I did this is because split feels kinda bad, doesn't help that much since it reduces value

[@vincentsponziello1510]

LETS GO BLUE

[@Anyamar666]

imthink orange was a bit overran... xd

[@TheDemigans]

What’s with the faction colored 1 at the tank and biplane option once a marble goes in? Also, what about marbles placing mines as a way to mitigate large waves washing over the defenses?

[@TARDISES]

Tanks, biplanes and zeppelins all have a cost greater than 1 - those coloured numbers indicate that there isn't quite enough marble value to spawn the next.

[@TheDemigans]

@@TARDISES ah instead of respawning the marble at the beginning it saves it until enough arrive, got it!

How much processing power (CPU, GPU) such a simulation requires?

[@yoshibros8904]

There should be a limit on unit spawns because that tank horde was insane

[@yoshibros8904]

actually I had one idea about that. Maybe it's too complex, but you can add a unit called "HQ Commander" that doesn't spawn in the field, but just an icon. If there's not enough commanders to handle the amount spawned, troops get penalties on movement speed/accuracy etc

[@enochofmi]

The scale might be getting out of hand

[@ashleyharris4114]

Apparently Tanks cant turn around or reverse! 😅

[@ISHKINGGHOUL]

I like it better when they last longer, you should definitely make it so things cost more so it doesn't get so out of hand. Love watching these though!

[@gaiusmarius4209]

i think the tanks need a bit of a nerf... either less health or they cost more, as it is for the cost of 20 riflemen you can get something that can take the FIRE of more than 500 riflemen and still wipe em out. Something you could do is make them vulnerable to aircraft (like real tanks) via not being able to attack aircraft within certain elevation ranges of their guns or, if possible, take more damage FROM top down damage (yes this includes mortars and artillery barrages which are also pretty effective against tanks)

[@pedrocalheiros7337]

all shoot is trash!

[@pedrocalheiros7337]

bc if a big number lands there it is equal to one, it should at least return the ball like the officer

[@jonathansfox]

@@pedrocalheiros7337 It does return the ball, it's just so far from spawn so it's harder to notice the respawn than it is with the officer. But it still only subtracts one and then the ball launches on the left again with the rest. For example, at 6:52, when the 1044 ball hits All Shoot, it immediately reappears on the left as a 1043.

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

All shoot is the nerfed version of "All shoot at HQ" which pretty much instakills the opposing team if you have a masive amount of units. It could be replaced by another option in the future such as minefield.@@pedrocalheiros7337
