Sure that map is perfectly realistic. You simply recreated the isthmus of Panama rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise, complete with a manmade canal bisecting it. I thought that's what you were doing until you said otherwise. The actual map generation didn't do you any favors though.
Never played Song of Syx but it sits in my Wishlist. The algorithm showed your video and I thought "Why not?" Then you go and say "best race ever: Humans" Aight ill watch and sub.
Cheers mate! Btw the game has a free demo on Steam which is unlimited, it's just an older version of the game. So if you have the time, you may as well give it a go :)
@@OshanMan oh, I have been playing that demo thinking it was the full game because someone told me it was, I guess its time for me to finally buy the game then.
27:15 Another RU-vidr (Michael Hendricks) has a style where he is 2 characters; "Editor Mike" and "Playing Mike" The majority of commentary is from Editor Mike with interjections from Player Mike's in the moment thoughts Editor Mike is scripted and kinda puts on a presenter's voice Playing Mike is just his natural voice with "ums", long pauses, and just not really caring that people are watching
I've started watching this series to see other way of doing things in the city. And yes, You are doing everything other way that I would think should be done. Super interesting to see a different perspective and I hope to learn something. Im in my second city now, little more than 1.3k so far, so bit beyond basics, but it is interesting nonetheless. Your strategy with early trade is cool. I always (well, "always" in my case means just two attempts) try to build my cities self sustainable, but next time I think I will try it this way.
Hey there, Mr. Oshan! I'm a little late to the party, seeing that you have made more videos by now. I have an intuition I'm a little older than you, so maybe my tastes are different, but in my experience, the best RU-vidrs/Letsplayers/whatever are the ones that just freestyle with whatever is on their mind; eventually you'll find the most natural style for you. Btw, having been unemployed for a year know, and after several automated rejection emails, don't let the Blank Template live rent free in your head
Hey mate, your words are appreciated regardless of their time of arrival So far, I've been following my established process for making videos, which might not necessarily be the most natural style for me but allows me to practice what I studied in analysing and making it more efficient and it's working out well, so I'm enjoying my time. I'm coming up on being unemployed for half a year. It's a bit rough but I'm fortunate to have my family's support, so thankfully, I'm not too miffed. If you ever feel lost, I wholeheartedly believe trying to create something, does wonders for our health and wellbeing somehow, even if it's just for ourselves and not for other people. Best of luck with it all and thanks again!
You can also make one big video a month. A 10h video with chapters. That way people would watch as many episodes as they want in one go and you would also avoid the curse of the views dropping sharply every episode. Like, you are putting the same effort in every video but since youtube only recommends the first episode you get less and less value for your efforts. Some youtubers have done it and they seem to like that format. P.S. Just to be sure I will clarify that what I said is only a suggestion, just throwing an idea at you, no pressure or demands. I will watch your vids regardless of format as long as you put effort into them 🙂
Cheers for the suggestion :) I think the current system I'll be putting in place will be more manageable but I could certainly experiment with making movie length, higher quality stuff. I just feel like I'll get sick of editing a massive timeline, haha
I don't know who you are, I don't know what that game is, I don't know what that music is... but, i'm subscribing, downloading the game and hearing the game's soundtrack.
I'm at a weird spot with logistics in my build. Currently, it's cretonians. Eventually, I'd like to shift to cretonians and dondorians but have them on opposite sides of the map. I'm struggling with logistics for shipping food back and forth in a way that makes sense. Anyone have advice on figuring out how to ensure resources are moving properly throughout your cities?
By default, warehouses have a very low operational range in the latest game version. Try clicking on one and changing its "radius" to cover more of the map. This is probably what's messing you up right now. Hope that helps :)
I never realy enjoyed playing Humans because they are so hard to keep happy, they require so much services compared to other races. I got over 1500 pop with Garthimis and almost as much with Amevias without any trouble, but with humans Im just struggling. (I always played a single species playthrough) Am I playing humans wrong or are they just not the right species for me?
Hey mate, no sweat if you can't play as humans, as long as you're enjoying the game, since that's the most important thing :) That being said, I would say it's not super difficult if you wanted to do well them, just a bit trickier than the rest. Try to focus on one or two food sources, one or two industries and then go all in on research labs and import everything else as needed. It typically keeps them happy for me since they love researching stuff. With all the tech points can make your few industries super efficient and also make all the services as the other brudda mentioned. Hope that helps :)
It's bad if you want to just take it easy, since you can very easily starve yourself out if you don't focus up. Also all of the other bonuses last the entire game whereas that one only affects your start.
@@anti-mate407 ahh, the reason that one neighbour asked for 80k while Cretonians asked for only 8k was because the 80k nation had 10x the population/power/size, so they demand more money for them to bother trading, haha
