this looks very complicated yes that is exactly words I would use an emphatic
Mary how are you oh I'm good hating Dingman but I'm a little confused by why
why you're putting yourself through this torture it's called Oh No
a no and now I think because it's like a year 1,800 1,800
this is yeah 1799 came no so actually I don't know if you're aware but the title
always adds up to nine so the last one was 2205 this one go 1800 okay when and
it indicates the year so we are in the like pseudo industrial era the 1800s
okay and looks pretty hot how far can you see city we can zoom in all the way
to the people the pigs performance a lot better when
we zoom in actually this is very detail this this is very detail
yeah it's actually really nice-looking so yeah this is a city builder I don't
know for the people watching at home if they have played a know before but we
did we played 22:05 a couple years ago that one was space themed this one is
more in their wheelhouse which is like a historical city builder oh wow you can
watch the shadows move as we Pandurang so yeah this is a historical city
builder I am about I don't know five and a half hours in apparently did you uh
did you like did you build this town yes this is my town like you put all this
yes there was nothing really I started and I have one built it multiple times
for instance I wanted this little Boulevard here in the middle uh-huh you
can move your buildings one at a time oh those are on I moved every single
building along this street it went over so that I could add a lane into my road
here Wow Wow like this is yeah that's SimCity this
seems a little different so yeah though the way that it works is basically the
way that an O has always worked is it's more about like like resources
so everything down here takes this so we have production chains so timber
production chain we need lumberjack huts and we need
sawmills and we as we move around you can actually see the ones I've already
placed that's there highlighted on either symbol and so we can put one out
here but we can't really get to it right now when you put in here so basically
you add one you draw a road to it and now you have to draw this guy in power
and no none of that but this guy will now create wood every 15 seconds okay
and he takes him to certain number of jobs which we have up here he uses
farmers so we have the that's why he's in the farmer tab down here so he took
out certain number of farmers which live in the farmer houses we also have
workers who live in the worker houses and we have artisans right now who live
in the artisan houses and fans again change between these by upgrading the
ones that you have I don't know if I can upgrade any right now I think I'm pretty
much full but yeah you basically when these fill up to ten out of ten as you
need to fill their needs we are out of fish right now so there's more fish man
yeah so we can go down here and yeah add a fishing dock now I have like 50 of
these all of them connected yeah the fish docks are kind of my least favorite
but yeah you had a fishing dock hopefully now we have more fish coming
in you can sort of see the trends of all of the different resources that you have
so when you have like a ton of sales a ton of bricks
we are maxed out on iron right now maxed out on steel beams we're getting there
on cannons and I pretty much right before I quit last night unlocked the
artisan tier which uses Windows like Microsoft Windows no actual glass
windows but then I was poor so I turned off all the window factories so that I
could make some money we were just getting rekt so all of
these pause buttons floating over here that's cuz we were out of cash oh I was
down to $500 at one point which is not where you want to be in this game this
is all in real time it's can you speed up or slow down here so we could speed
it up make more money but then it gets even more complicated at all so there is
a layer so there are other cities on this map oh this map is incredibly
impressive but you don't have direct control yes these are like other player
or other NPCs their city looks weird I should mention we're in the campaign
here and so we you can have a sandbox mode which is more open but the campaign
kind of walks you through each of these parts so this guy édouard is your uncle
who like presumably murdered your dad and stole your city out from under you
this was supposed to be your inheritance Wow and so yeah he has this enormous and
he has a World's Fair going on he's just hang he's a real jerk this thoroughfare
has trees yeah it's you know there's the the king or the Queen's representative
which i think is over here somewhere it's hard to keep them all straight
because they're all these tiny islands and this mini map is almost useless as
you can tell also the perform surprised on the performance on this I mean this
is a nice machine this is the SD the Queen's representative I mean you got to
imagine right like look at this sight lines right eye look at the the amount
of detail on each of these buildings like we can strike roll all the way in
and see the guards hanging out in front of this thing there's a prison island
somewhere and part of the game actually involves you like swooping down from the
heavens here it is so we never on the heavens and finding the prisoners in
here and then you can click on them and then bail them out of prison some of
them are like some of them are are like named characters with like a with a
specialization oh yeah you like come down and it'll be
like I'm an engineer and you have to pay his bail and then you can take him to
your place they're all these islands or some of the islands are empty and you
can just settle on them there's a diplomacy tab which is like all the
people you have met we're apparently at war with somebody which I didn't even
know which seems like a problem maybe because we're friends with her she might
have dragged us into a war I'm not sure and so yeah we have this whole tab we
have a whole trade route system where we could make ships and trade with people I
haven't even dug into that system yet because I don't have any ships right now
we are supposed to be making now we have a shipyard over here or you could build
some frigates if we wanted to we need some money send them around the world
and that's the other part that we haven't talked about the world which is
that this is actually just one of our lineage in the old world and then we
have the new world where we have our tiny little banana colony but is this
going at the same yes this is at the same time we can actually so I just went
to the world map to show you you can just go directly back to where we were
on the other map and it likes absolutism almost instantaneous wow this is fine
but I am running a 1080i I'm not sure how it will run on a normal person
competing yeah alright it is even this system is having a hard day it's like
pretty amazing and like the amount of people walking around and all the
systems going like it is yeah it's a it's intense I'm actually curious the
bigger thing I guess would be the CPU okay I got 5820k at home which is a six
core I don't know what this main gear has but I assume it's up there so I
think it's - of course yeah I would be very curious to know how this runs for
people with like a quad core because I bet that's the limiting factor oh
because he had like we have this guy he's gonna offer us a quest
and yeah there's all sorts of stuff going on we have a newspaper that we can
occasionally control so like I've put propaganda in the newspaper a couple of
times we also have an expedition going on so we can go these are like
choose-your-own-adventure things over here
Wow do we really have a 17% chance of attacking these pirates and winning we
did not win oh we tried to do fire all the cannons come on man you know all
right yeah we're all cannons yeah we killed the pie yes we got 22 pearls it
feels good oh no what will we leave behind uh we'll
leave behind the timber at least you can't throw men overboard I guess so
yeah then we give them extra rations Tommy continue they're like looking for
like a zoo animal they're like on a quest for lions is how this is going
Hayden I got a question yeah this is fun ah I like city builders so yes um but
like it's a qualified yes because it's I was telling you before we started I left
all the tutorials on this game and it still like barely told me anything and
there's a lot of stuff that you just kind of stumble through and if you've
played another anno game that helps but even so it's a lot and I would say the
games I would say the weakest part of this game is it's very bad about
surfacing info to you so for instance like we can't upgrade any of these
buildings right you can't tell until you mouse something over yeah so like we
can't tell like what and like why can't I upgrade these and like we click on
them I was like okay this guy had this building has 16 people in it like they
all have 16 people why are none of them full then it's like well okay we're like
a little low on oh it's bread we're out of bread oh so
then you have to like okay we're going the workers tab and you find the bread
thing and then you're like huh okay why are
the bread factories not making enough bread and you're like oh well these are
not even these are knitters wow that's an awkward word to say on screen so yeah
you just kind of like more bread man you go okay does the flour mill have enough
grain you're like oh we don't have a ton of grain in storage but like it seems to
have enough grain and you're like oh but we have a ton of flour so that's not the
problem so it must be the bakeries don't have enough up a crease so then you look
and you're like oh yeah we only we have zero bread but we have tons of flour so
we need more bakeries and so then you go in you're like alright well put another
bakery in and then hopefully that solves our bread issue hopefully and then oh so
I haven't mentioned the fact that like each of these buildings you are bringing
the supplies on horses or on carriages from warehouses so they have to be near
a warehouse and then eventually like if you have too many things using the
warehouses it'll just be full and you have to
upgrade the warehouse so over we over here somewhere
yeah here we have an upgraded Nahum warehousing it's fancy and then to
upgrade again we need glass windows which I don't have any of right now so
yeah it is a lot I'm gonna say I'm overwhelmed I'm not gonna lie it's it's
like a fun time if you really like optimizing that sort of stuff and then
also like I think the city building part is cool it has the problem that all the
city builders have where you start out and you are making like a city this big
you kind of just throw everything where it needs to be Aaron and then you're
like eventually like this is ugly why do I have all my grain farms right in the
middle of my town so you have to like move them to the outskirts and then the
outskirts get weirder and weirder over time there's also a whole like oh man
there's a pollution aspect so like that brings down the evenness of your city
which then makes people not happy over time so you can see we have all
this pollution coming out over here look at that nasty smiling so yeah eventually
we're gonna end up probably I guess expanding into these other parts of its
chugging now these other parts of the island building bridges over here like
we've got a lot of a lot of room to expand okay but man there's so much yeah
yeah yeah I don't know there's not even a good way to demo it because it's so
complicated you know what I mean I mean like like we did I could just like start
putting down buildings but like that's about all we can do like I mean it works
like a city builder use drag and drop a bunch of stuff and then put down roads
but yeah there's just so much going on here yeah yeah I don't know that's a
wild I'm having fun with it I think it's really impressive but yeah as I said
information could probably be surfaced better the only way to like figure out
what resources you're short on really is just to go in here and be like I have
zero wool and then be like but why do I have zero wool and you'll just never
know it'll never never like make it guess oh
we got a newspaper no effect on anything so we're probably find sometimes as bad
things which is when you really want to throw the propaganda okay but yeah we
have propaganda exists we get it info you plan put martial law into effect I
think as I've moved through the eras here I've gotten more and more options
so because we're now a city we used to be a a town I ain't at the beginning but
yeah that's a no 1800 as I said it's there's not a great way to demo it so
you're just gonna have to I think if you look at a know 1800 you probably know
whether that's the kind of game you want to play oh yeah it is as I said a lot of
optimizing routes of things like just resource management and yeah we have all
this stuff that I haven't even been been able to build yet because I don't I
can't turn the window factories what one of these days you'd get on this
window yeah one of these days I'll turn the window factories build a zoo I have
to build build build a rum production chain we could build some parks if we
wanted to that's always fun I think I have a a I yeah it's a quaint little
park around my feeder look at this this I built this this is mine I put these
benches here well snow that's pretty nice
yeah thanks Adam for putting up with an O here it was like I took a little nap I
guess I gotta wake up and go yeah we can finish off with this we'll put the
banana factory right from the banana factory yeah and my favorite is that a
hammock right there oh no I was just wondering I don't think anybody here
just gets to hang out in the hammock but we got this and we also have the sugar
cane over here it's just a really really amazing detail yeah yeah
a really amazing leg that's what you want to have a city builder right you
want something that looks that that impressive yeah but uh high-five to the
people who made it yeah very impressive very complicated and that's about all we
can say yep no thank you guys for watching and I hope that you guys have a
lot of long nights playing you know because I know that's what I'm going
home and to do tonight it's not me by Adams bike
