Using Fiendish TRAPS To Power Up the Defences - Cataclismo Extended First Taste 

Grab a cuppa, maybe even some biscuits if you've been good, and enjoy this second taste ^^

What about the first taste? "You've already had it." We've had one, yes. What about SECOND First taste?

*performs the rites of engagement to St. Algorithmus*

Aavak: We're rather wood poor right now. Me: *Stares in Wood Bank* Anyway, I'd absolutely love to see more of this! It's super comfy!

We are going to be wood poor. Says the man with the giant wood bank in his base

>has no wood >forgets the wood bank exists and builds around it >"mist is an issue" >doesn't even read the description for mist condenser

Yes! A full miniseries please! Your city-builder-ish strategy series are always a highlight of my week when you upload another!

you pronounced it correctly 👍great to see that you saw and remembered the information i put in the last comments, i hope this game gets way larger than it it is now also ive been watching since before robocraft, i remember mixing up you and lathland somehow more tips 1. it looks weird, but units can walk through merlons, banners, and defence boosts that arent wall mounted, however they cannot stand in the same spot as the merlon to fire. after testing even through traps and the tacticians roof table 2. to my knowledge you shouldnt need to worry about rain in the highlands, but in the campaign (which is really good so far), only the wetlands has rain. roofs should be only decorative in highlands, and the small lanterns are pretty cool, in that they retreat the fog of war, not really necessary for walls, allows you to see without a unit nearby, im going to test for if they count as line of sight for building 3. remember the map mode, you can see where enemies are mainly going towards, note that its not perfect, some enemies may stray elsewhere from the same direction 4. the mist condenser will unlock a lot of locked things in endless mode 5. i said this last time, but i will again, to quickly delete click on a block, or multiple, then double click delete key on keyboard, you can double click on items to select every similar thing on screen, and mass delete this way

Let's hopp into another adventure where Aavak teaches that "Form follows function" is total bollocks :D Our Aavak great!

the visuals - in general - of this game is just gorgeous. and the ability to make "the pretties" intentionally is amazing. literally the only thing i think i could knock them for is moving to a game without that blueprint system is going to be insanely frustrating.

Man I really hope this turns into the next Mech Engineer "First Look"! I really enjoyed watching taht seires and would love to watch this one as well!

We have been graced with MORE!!! I am addicted, you give us so many tidbits so many fantastic games I'd love to see whole entire series on, but never leaving disappointed because there will always be something to fancy

Praise be to St Algorithmus, and may them grant us an extended mini series of this great game

I love how wood and space are an issue, and we still have a pig pile of wood occupying all that precious space. 😂

Oh St.Algorithmus, look down kindly upon this video so that we might bare witness to a third taste.

Second verse, same as the first: Cataclismo is a series I wish to see continued in the future. Also I bought the game myself, the campaign has some rough edges, especially some of the line-reads feeling very stiff, but the story trajectory is very interesting. Also, making the various defense structures is very in-depth... I got lost in the weeds trying to make a 10-tall archer/hunter tower, and kept running into the issue of the stairs up getting in the way of units to stand at the windows to shoot out. I spent like, 15-20 minutes fiddling with it, before I gave up.

At a guess, the horrors are choosing to attack the 2 base HP arch rather than the 7 base HP walls when they can't see a way around your fortification. Similarly, the ones that did bypass your defenses at 11:30 stopped the moment they reached an uncrenulated wall, suggesting they're looking to attack the lowest HP block they can reach. Not just going straight for the HQ, they seem to prioritize local destruction over making you lose the game (which anyone reading that just did, btw). Also, if you haven't noticed yet: You can drag select buildings. Great for if you have to delete a big chunk, especially your bank. You can also double click to select all blocks of a given type.

I normally am not a fan of games like this, but I've really been enjoying your Cataclismo play through.

If you press M when the night falls, you will get an overhead view where you not only see the different attack directions, but you also see exactly what path they are marching, the path is not always reliable if you have their path blocked off though.

Really enjoying watching this play out. Calaclismo's been on my wishlist for a while, and I might grab it as soon as it comes out of EA.

So happy you are mating this an extended first taste!😄

Oh I enjoy your longer format indeed, 2nd and third tastes too.

Really appreciate your gameplay with this. This is a game I'd easily feel overwhelmed watching but I was able to enjoy my tea just fine ^_^

Absolutely fantastic game. Castle Story's construction meets They Are Billions' combat. Had it wishlisted before it released and i'm honestly scared to look at how many hours i've put in since then 😅. Looking forward to more gameplay and seeing how you handle the waves past 50+, assuming you get that far.

Our Castle Spiky! Also: This is quite tasty, I suggest taking a few more bites :P

Oh wow, I was so interested, this video felt like it was 20-30 minutes.

This looks so good, wishlisted it for my next game but I'm n the mean time hope to see your adventures continue!

love this game and your take on it

Showing enthusiasm for the algorithm. You always build cool stuff, looking forward to more.

Ya! More Cataclismo, love the content, keep it coming! Thanks Aavak for the content. And you said the magic words Mech Engineer, when is the bonus content coming. :)

Always down for more of this game, looks cool. And I wanna see how a late game base looks like all super built up. Maybe try and replicate star fortress lines of sight design on the walls to avoid blindspots? (or maybe you can have walls ahead of the main one that just funnel the enemy? I am unsure if they are the 'attack anything I see' enemies or 'I will path if there's a way through' ones)

I’d love to see a full series of this

More? Yes More! I would love to see the most janky castle possible form. That said.. there are multiple stone ridges arround, is it possible to build a wall further along those?

This has been really fun watch! I would enjoy a mini series if you would be so kind ☺️

Massages engaged. St. Algorithmus be praised!

love this, genuinely wish to see more of you playing this :D

It looks like they headed for the thinnest nearby wall, so you can create a death trap.

Always happy to chill with an Aavak video. All hail St. Algorithmus.

Prayer to St. Algorithmus to gather Divine attention to this spot!

would really love to see the other troop types even if its just the basic version of them

This is a great game played by a great content creator :)

Yeah 'mini' series... right... right... 😂😂😂

Definitely need more of this game 😀

Aavak, why not call this second episode the Second Bite?

What Oliver said, "May I have some more, please?"

hell yes more of this!

Enjoying this!

This is a pleasant little game.

This is so much fun to watch!

Miniseries, yes please!

As the sun slowly rises above the vast spike fields...

Our Hogar Great.

This was a nice surprise

Backseat pass: How narrow can you make a spiral staircase? Could you do no walls, only towers? Four doors leading into a central stairway with four lobbers above and roof archers? Minimal resources and you dot them around. The enemies are attracted to the doors and get attacked from most angles like its a tesla coil.

More please!

There is not enough oxygen included in these. St. Algorithmus, might I be blessed with more please?

If you build a pinnacle to reach enlightenment. Did you build a Zen Tower then? :P

This was fun!

If you make your wall 3 tiles Thick should fix the construction issues

Can we please get the full "Mech Engineer" First taste? Loving it so far. Small point you are putting the door in backwards. If you turn them around so the bars are facing the enemy they don't get a hidey hole from your troops shooting them (if they ever get that far that is) Also I don't know the keys but you can force attack to destroy some of the terrain.

Very enjoyable

More please 😂

mist lake for my part

need more first tastes :)

Crab People, Crab People.

How would history have differed if castles could completely redesign and rebuild their walls every day?

But the fire arrows ARE for everyone Aavak! .... It's just that the people you don't trust to Hold them will not get to hold them with their Hands!... or other grasping appendages, on a case by case basis.

May I please have another, Sir?

07:34 I would've solved it by pushing the stairs out one tile It's one of the reasons I prefer the Chinese style of fortifications, they're Thick and spacious instead of European thin and narrow

Series!!

🖤

More Cataclismo when?

Do extreme campaign when you get the gist of the game

Please sir, can I have some more

1 more time

Moar please!

Oh, I am so bad at this game =D Sirena is a true boss =D

👍

Comment for Algorithmis!

For the algorithm

Nice) Algorithm, pls be nice)
