Polytopia - The BEST Opening Moves for Each Tribe! 

i've never played this game before but it looks awesome

3:30 Idk man, if i see Oumaji border the 2nd Swordsman Gambit Opening is hella tempting. 1st Swordsman : "Prepare for trouble.. " 2nd Swordsman : ".. Make it double."

Irs such a pain trying to find established and tested openings for tribes, im glad this came out when it did:))

Cymanti can also train a warrior turn 0 and boost it Not sure how it compares to turn 0 fungi but it's another option if you want to explore more early game, which can help with how aggressive cymanti is

For Vengir I would just say don't play Vengir lol

No way I caught this in seven seconds

Thanks for the vid Gully, I have never even thought about going for riders right away with luxidoor. Been a fan of you for years and I love that your posting more regularly. Keep at it bro your awesome!

Hey, GullYY, maybe you'll make a video about Zebasi being new meta? Because they were buffed by the fact that burn forest ability was moved into construction, which allows them to spam high level windmills and markets very early in the game.

Thank you so much for this, much needed video!

Yes, a technology video would be really good! Great tutorial! Good to know that starting my games like this is the right way.

Dude this is so helpful thanks

We appreciate ur work & dedication. I love ur voice, personality & knowledge. U helped me a lot in the past, even now to be a good poly player. Thank you. 🙏

Very helpful thanks!

Great video, a cool idea for another series would be to review replays that people send to you and break them down, kind of like what you did with some of your own replays in the past. I had a crazy archipelago game where I won because of aquatism (no, seriously) and I think you might like it 😃

Great video Gullyy👍

DEFINITELY want a how-to-guide for deciding what techs to pick and when. Great vid btw

This might be a dumb idea but I’d like to see a similar video for like turns 5-10. Love you videos keep it up!

You're uploading very frequently now, nice

another epic video dropped

I always prioritized relics over cities of I spot them. I almost never prioritize riding towards the beginning and found it interesting you had such a emphasis on it woth a few civs. I fluctuate between 1550-1650 elo and thought it was interesting that we have different playstyles

helps out a lot

Cool to see that I already did most of these openings myself. And for the ones I didn't, I hadn't known them before and I learned how to use them better. Coolio

Please, make a video breaking down the decision making process in some common situations for each important tech. Would be very useful and interesting ^^

I would love to see a video about what tech to research. I usually find myself buying multiple tech when I could have a similar outcome with one tech.

Zebasi meta sleeper strat: Go Construction as your first upgrade, then riders, roads, and then markets late game for the most broken economy thanks to burning forests to make farms to boost windmills to increase markets.

Aquarion: 2nd Amphibian 🐢

Xinxi: warrior t0, meditation T2 actually makes sense on medium map or larger. I was very sceptical, but it really does work against slower tribes. Oumaji: double rider is risky. Often it's better to do a warrior because you will lvl up village quicker.

Really useful video, also shows off the strengths of each tribe Except yadakk which is sad

0:31 Xin-xi 0:58 Imperius 1:36 Bardur 2:01 Oumaji 2:25 Kickoo 2:38 Hoodrick 3:00 Luxidoor 3:28 Vengir 4:05 Zebasi 4:18 Ai-Mo 5:07 Quetzali 5:22 Yadakk 6:03 Aquarion 6:22 Elyrion 6:57 Polaris 7:19 Cymanti

Thank you. Please make a video about the best choices for the technologies.

as a yadakk player, this helps a lot, thanks. I never considered starting with a road, I always go organisation first, even delaying getting another warrior

Mid game is where I always struggle at. A video for it would be great

A nice thing that you could've added is the fact imperius, Quetz, and xin have village conditions

That ai-mo opening is amazing

Yes, make a video about technology!

@gullyy the T0 tribes can usually train a third warrior and upgrade a tech before capturing the first city AND then upgrade that city. Do you usually do that? The video makes it look like you only train two warriors

With Quetzali being my most favorite tribe, i usually open by getting Organization and upgrade my capital to get workshop for an early star boost

With barter on small maps i will upgrade the city then go for archery for a swift attack,works better than riders a lot of the time And on bigger maps i go for forestry, big citys tend to work with me well

Yo me too 30 seconds

Yes, I like to learn more to understand

I would love to see more of cymanty gameplay

Please make an updated guide on how to three star tribes

Epic

Elyrion is wack. Idk when to only make one polytaur. Should I be poly pushing towards ruins or favor going to the center? Also, they’ve got awful resource rates, so upgrading cities is so slow but idk if there’s a workaround. Typically I just use sanctuaries on turn 5-6 and start to snowball my economy from there.

Based polytopia video.

Best opening move for cymanti/polaris/elyrion: 1. Close the game 2. Open the window 3. Step out of the window

Yes please do a tech video

Can you make a cymanti counter video now that roads are nerfed. I really struggle against them. Even when I counter them well, they just out-econ me

prime gully would have gotten 700 bajillion views by now

thx for this video

How can i get 3 stars for the tribes?

Can you do elyrion tutorial? ^_^

Commenting for the algorithm.

My poor Yadakk got their opening destroyed :(

Hey gullyy why do you not move warriors towards the corner so that they reveal 5 tiles instead of 3

3:30 doesn’t apply if you’re opponent is Oumaji

Tech vid please

What does workshop help

cymanti is kinda meta with riding tech. foes have countlessly pummeled me with hexa pod after pod while i try to upgrade cities so it's the most commonly used aggressively in multi( if they're choosin' lakes, chances r, its CYMANTI) oumaji is a risk taker. I also love their skin bein' cats cuz' it means they're tryin to be clever. bcz they ought to find villages but get *ancients* is most optimal for tech tree frugality. if u still can't find anythin i'd move a rider to the furthest mountain, chances r u will find an ancient xin xi should more often than not take meditation. 2nd techs are imperative to success and it just so happens the peace goal still needs to be unlocked. u must beware of elryion crowd control. the number ofo polytaurs foes can summon is virtually limitless. u should burn down forests containing animals so probably farming is best, now that the burn option isnt lumped with chivalry tech. riding is if polytaurs r rlly close. it's also quite hilarious how kickoo kicks polaris' ass in water world. the initial economy is so good that meditation route is optimal. all i recall is crowd controlling with spamming ships and breaking ice. a mechanic should be obvious is units with *dash* can break ice *even after moving* that's just a few. roads are ano' annoyin thing to cover. or yk the foe might hide units on the very fringes of maps. that could happen too if i recall a boosted centipede can do *just* 15 dmg to demolish no def bonus. polytaurs. this helped alot with elryion so personally i'd use cymanti against 'em also for whatever reason getting a veteran swordsman from an ancient gives u one additional unit to train in ur city idk why

Stopping kids from saying: “1 minute and 15 views, bro fell off”

hey gully the imperius opening is not good also the zebasi one that you just showed imperius most of the time opens with three warriors riding before getting the city and upgrading the city the same turn. Zebasi the most solid opening in my experience is getting 2 warriors upgrading second village and then riding

:0

Yeah, sure, dont get a second swordsman... youre a little baby who hates fun. Who plays vengir to just.. do boring stuff. GET THE SWORDSMAN
