I love when the game is clearly over and the video has 9 minutes left. Think about that. Flo cares so much about making sure we get maximum value that he keeps the game rolling. A true entertainer.
Sirens originally had wings (see Odysseus myth), so more like, singing murderous harpy. Mermaids were more of the fishy sort. But sometime in the past they merged into one. From horny sailors' perspective, if it was at least half woman, the other half makes no difference.
My dad was born there and I was 28 when I found out that Germany used to be the Holy Roman Empire. The Nazi stuff really drowns out a lot of other cool facts about the place.
Siren of the Sewers just flows better, but you're 200 episodes in so you can't change it now. Roach/Hydra/Ling CAN work, but you need to manage the positioning of your units and treat the lings as fast-striking, fragile cavalry and use them to surround, flank, and pick off things like tanks and thors while they're busy engaging the roaches. Nobody does that, though, They just press F2 and run into planetary fortresses head first.
Oh! Terra Mystica is an awesome board game! One of my favorites due to the clever mechanics. As it stands, the designer Vlaada Chvatl is the most common one i have on my board game shelf. :)
As an all around massive nerd (history, language, geography being relevant here) I'm not sure whether Pig's commentary or Florencio's gameplay lost me more brain cells this time around.
Btw, Sirens = Mermaids. In grece, the sirens were half women, half bird (Thats why they sings like birds). Later on, some fisherman's stories led to the word "Mermaid" wich was half woman, half Fish. And, fun fact, a danish song about mermaids led to the "Elves" known in movies like lord of the ring. And, yes, in french there's only one word for both sirens and Mermaids, wich is "Sirènes". Where i'm from, we don't even pronounce the "es" at the end and its sounds just like "Sirens", in english
I carry a little red laser pointer with me; and, believe it or not, every time when I need to keep someone - cats, dogs, or even people! - busy… it just works! Every. Freaking. Time.
So what you saying is, sometimes they wanna procreate and other times they wanna eat. So now you just need to find the reproduction cycle of meridians and you'll be golden!
The French are wrong. All French. In Greek mythology, sirens were frequently depicted as being half-woman, half-bird. Mermaids are half-woman, half fish.
Don’t worry PiG, in Spanish also there’s only one word to define that mythical creature, which is “Sirena”. This is similar to what happens in English with Tortoise and Turtle with the water and land version of the same animal, in Spanish is just “Tortuga” and life moves on.
This title is misleading in that it implies that Florencio never makes attack upgrades, but when he lands/builds a planetary in his opponents base he almost always has hi-sec auto tracking.
The marines were clearly there to just further mess with his opponent's mind. Thank you for the very educational talk about horny scurvied sailors btw.
PiG stops talking about the origins of siren vs mermaids at 7:00... lol This is what happens when a "noobbz" takes on a semi-pro player... Who happened to relate to a mermaid...
To be fair pig, his marines made sense. They are cheap, and quick to make. He had a ton of minerals. And basically just wanted a meat shield for his thors lol.
Hey there, have you considered submitting a replay for my ICYFAR casts? I don't look at new player's replays because of lack of time, so that is the best chance of getting casted on UA-cam, unless you'd like to pay for a personal cast.
Ok wtf... My girlfriend is big time into mermaids and her name is Jennifer, I feel like pig kinda called my girlfriend an imagination... He might have a point...

Hahaha
Is there any other kind of sailor?
@@MrTubularBalls french sailors
@@MrTubularBalls a treu sailor, sails the red sea
LOVE the new layout, with your face above the summary bar, rather than jamming up the corner.
Neeb must have walked by the monitor and clicked that vehicle damage upgrade when Florencio was busy making guac mid-game.
I didn't know that Germany is landlocked...wait... it isn't!
My dad was born there and I was 28 when I found out that Germany used to be the Holy Roman Empire. The Nazi stuff really drowns out a lot of other cool facts about the place.
dude. it's a classic strategy, always back up your mobile artillery with infantry. bravo
Christopher Columbus confused a manatee for a mermaid. I don’t think I need to finish that story.
…
I love the Florencio Files!
ahhh, researching blue flame really really late, losing all your hellions before it finishes, building no more. Love Flo!
Mermaids and Sirens are basically the exact same thing Pig. You're totally correct. THey are both super evil creatures.
@@MarkusC0Der everything with boobs is evil. Once you realize that you can beat navigate.

I'm currently playing The Witcher 3, and there's a quest that involves finding a turomancer. Made me think of you and Florencio.
>Germany had no sailors
The Hanseatic League wants to know your location
The marines were used the same as zerglings in Ling hydra. They buffer for the thors behind them.
So mermaid-sirens essentially snusnu sailors? i bet they won't mind.
The mermaid meme to start was brilliant, then the final minutes. I'm grinning so much my cheeks are hurting.
🤔🤯🤣
😄
Intro, 7 minute rant about mermaids, back to casting. I love you Pig
As a german who grew up on a landmass between two seas (Nordsee und Ostsee) that "no water" rant got me mad!
Haha sorry thought there was pretty much no sea, I was totally wrong on that!
@@PiGstarcraft Can you update the Florencio playlist please?
This is the greatest commentary
PiG man...when you go full stream-of-consciousness from a Flo game into a Little Mermaid fantasy, I know that this is the right game for me.
3:00 You can tell the difference between the two. One will have a nice tall glass of Baileys. The other just drinks it from a shoe.
Oh! Terra Mystica is an awesome board game! One of my favorites due to the clever mechanics. As it stands, the designer Vlaada Chvatl is the most common one i have on my board game shelf. :)
Merry Christmas PiG!

23:40 Blueflame, but stops building Helions.
I’m a Simp for flo 😍😍😍
He didn’t even give the marines Medivacs lol
Those non-upgraded marines are a flex....
The defensive nuke... I kneel before flo
22:37 Oh, I should use single zerglings to pop the widow mines. _Lings get one shot._ Oh, they didn't fire. I'll send one more.

Florencio. No! Planetaries are not mech units. No upgrades for them!
I carry a little red laser pointer with me; and, believe it or not, every time when I need to keep someone - cats, dogs, or even people! - busy… it just works! Every. Freaking. Time.
Omg. I love the new name. It's amazing.
I think the marines were to BE the shield for the Thors lol
"And I was like ...WHAAAAT!?" lool xD
Here for the siren mermaid rant.
So what you saying is, sometimes they wanna procreate and other times they wanna eat. So now you just need to find the reproduction cycle of meridians and you'll be golden!
The French are wrong. All French. In Greek mythology, sirens were frequently depicted as being half-woman, half-bird. Mermaids are half-woman, half fish.
You said "laugh in the face of danger" and I thought Warcraft. "We laugh in the face of danger! hehehehehehe"

We're not even that consistent. There are land species we call turtle. The tortoise group is some totally arbitrary subset.
Germany has no water
Nordsee: am I a joke to you
This title is misleading in that it implies that Florencio never makes attack upgrades, but when he lands/builds a planetary in his opponents base he almost always has hi-sec auto tracking.
Oh shit.... Is this what I think it is? A Florencio macro game?
wow savage as fuck on knob, that was hard to listen to sometimes lol
Love the mermaid analysis tho 10/10
It's like Advance Wars, only infantry can capture bases. You need marines to finish the game.
The marines were clearly there to just further mess with his opponent's mind.
Thank you for the very educational talk about horny scurvied sailors btw.
Thank you for liking my crazy rants haha
so funny. the best of strats
Turophile: Lover of Cheese, it's so perfect
Germany has access to see. At the north.
Uboats have entered the chat.
I'm just here to listen to the mermaid/siren commentary.
26:09 Yeah but did the Thors take any damage? No they did not, science!
Mermaids can live in rivers. That is way there are mermaids in Germany. Although these are called rusalki.

Turophile => Turo - Phile = Τυρο - Φιλος => Meaning Cheese - Friend (or he who likes cheese) in Greek 😜
To be fair pig, his marines made sense. They are cheap, and quick to make. He had a ton of minerals. And basically just wanted a meat shield for his thors lol.
Germany borders two seas the north sea (that is the same Britain borders) and the Baltic sea.
“knob jockey” 👍
Terramystica has been my favourite board game for years. What part of aus are you from?
Sydney!
@@PiGstarcraft well props from Melbourne :)
So sirens are just mermaids that are into vore? good to know. 🤣
Same thing in spanish btw, I don't remember having a word for mermaid
germans dont have water :D historically quite large kriegsmarine and about 1/5 of current state 'border' is with sea :D
How do i send videos to you? I have a few good ones

Is that Rimworld music?
I play that soundtrack on my stream a lot! 😁
I saw the comment and was like u have to see this bs.
I must admit I couldn't really follow the game, I was distracted by this siren debfriefing and couldn't even stop and think about anything.
but Germany borders the North Sea and the Baltic Sea...
how could you flo
Ok wtf... My girlfriend is big time into mermaids and her name is Jennifer, I feel like pig kinda called my girlfriend an imagination... He might have a point...
