This game is different than all other City Building games! | Ostriv 2023 Ep 1 

This is a Christmas miracle! Nice to see you around Martijn 🎅

Cheers mate!

I saw he is still developing the game and it is great. Yeah I realized the thatchery was placed way too late. And then I made a big mistake with the reeds...but then again I am a beginner so I am still learning the game. So you are more than welcome to come with tips 😁😁😁

Wow. Thanks for the tips! But one question. If I buy goods from people then it means I am using my money, right? And in this game it is quite hard to make money.

It is a balancing act. The town (you) will buy foods from the citizens, then resell the food through the market stalls to other citizens who need different foods to get a good variety in each home. If poor food variety, they will move away. You can also sell the extra foods the town makes (farming, windmill, trading) to citizens through the market stalls, as well as sell their foods that you bought (small granary) through the trader to other cities. Money in, money out. As well, you need to make sure that each household is employed enough to pay their rents, taxes, and feed their families by employing as many as you can with fair wages. Cutting their wages eventually shoots you in the foot when they all move away because they didn't make enough wages to afford their needs. In exchange they pay you back in taxes when you set up your town hall. Money comes in, money goes out. The trick is to take your time and balance everything well. If you don't employ them and they can't afford to feed their family they will leave. And as you get your trader(s) set up, make mental notes of what they tend to want to buy the most and concentrate some of your industry creating a surplus of that to sell (extra charcoal for example). In the beginning that will help any money shortfalls, though if you take your time, employ them well (men and women and lots of seasonal work) and then tax it back, you should balance out quite well. Hope this helps!

@@NobleRambler bless you! Thanks man!

@@NobleRambler oh, and I already have the episode 2 recorded. I did it after finishing this one. But I will use your tips in episode 3 ✌🏻. PS: I see you have a channel too. Cool! Just saw a recommendation in my feed and I recognized the name.

Pre-recording in groups is a lot easier to make videos, but makes it hard to react to comments. I used to do that, too, but now give it an overnight between episodes to see what advice rolls in before recording the next video. Though some games are hard to resist...I could play Ostriv for hours! If you want to see something interesting, look back through my playlists and find my earlier version of Ostriv from when it first released (6 years ago) to see what it was like before all of the updates. It was a solid game even back then.

🙏🏻

I know Foundation too. It's next on my list! Cheers 🍺

Yes indeed! I agree

Indeed! 👏🏻

Totally agree! It has a lot of potential and it's soooo relaxing

Yes, true, but the closer it is the better. This way they get out, cut the reeds and go back in. They skip making a longer way and time to the reeds.

In the other video it was pointed out that the builders have to walk to the thatchers and so if it is a long way from the building site, that causes them to slow. He suggested they make more trips. (I don't know as I have not yet played the game) What do you think?@@Skibitth

@@beachdancer true, but for this we have the warehouses. In either way until I do the warehouse someone has to do a longer trip 😁

😂

rofl

Definitely. And I cannot wait to play Manor Lords too

That one will be a killer. Can't wait to play it too 😍

Yep! I was very close to make that joke :))) Glad someone noticed the perfect moment for it :D

Oh that's so annoying when is happening. Try to reset it if you know the email address

@@Skibitth No the email service provider is dead too. lol. I'll figure it out.

😏😏😏

Hey hey hey! Not true. In some cases I am paying them more. 🥺

​@Skibitth 🤭

черговий нацист і ще живий ?😂

@@zmielov50 niet ja ne nacist, ja realist

Can people not play something else, its not cs2 or the other game, its cs2 and other games

@gijskramer1702 he posted last video of CS2 like 1 month ago...that's why I've asked, you silly weasel

It has also been a month since the last video

I didn't abandoned CS2 or CS1, but I want to start playing other games too. Oh and you can look at my Romanian RU-vid channel. I have there a complete new CS2 series.

@@Skibitth am inteles, merci de răspuns! La multi ani! un an nou fericit! 🍾💫✨️🥳 acum am început sa ma uit la seria Ostrov

Name one that you like 😊 This game is one of the best in it's genre and it is sooo smartly done and realistic. It's not easy for sure because it makes you plan and think ahead... So...

Ha! Stiam de cand s-a lansat ca e facut de un Ucrainean 😏
