killboxes aren't really OP anymore because Tynan correctly balanced them by reducing their relative frequency by adding other events that circumvent them. Such as mechanoid clusters, sappers (to some degree), drop pod raids, and external threats on tiles nearby. You'll note that in this ENTIRE series I think we've only been raided twice. All the rest have been sieges or clusters. Further, killboxes were op against easy threats, but at 500% wealth-independent scaling, it will be very easy for them to get overwhelmed for many of the early years. killboxes are now just one potential solution to some of many potential threats.
(one of) My favorite things about the editing style for this channel is how the facecam is used, It's only shown for more direct dialogue or for bigger reactions, and isn't just constantly filling up space, and another neat thing is that he actually _uses_ the face cam, as in, he reacts in full, using his arms and hands (and the hammer too) at times for more emphasis(?), while most others just have their face only. TL;DR: It's one of the better ways to use a face cam, without it being in the way
I just checked the sub count on this channel and I honestly did a double take. Under 10k?! I was expecting 1-200k with this level of polish. Bravo, you are clearly going places.
you got to be the only youtuber who actually reviews his content very carefully, correcting all the tiny mistakes you did, really satisfying for a smartass like me ;D
It's high on the list, but I'm worried about balance in those 'vanilla expanded' mods. My experience is they are actually 'vanilla balanced expanded beyond reason'. I want to sort it out though, their story teller does the same thing as my old vikings campaign, forced raids every season.
@@CrushaofMans yeah figured you like it for that. Also thanks for replying Also Balance Smalance. Sometimes you want to play a balanced game. Othertimes you want to make overpowered badass vikings who have found ancient ice rifiles to be the king of the north. I don't think people will mind some of the more aboved powered stuff
Well Jawa's lost a lot of views (and I lost a lot of interest) because it was so insanely stupidly OP it got boring, so yeah, a good amount of people will in fact mind. Most won't, but 'most' isn't really good enough for a small channel with all the work we put in. :/
You could avoid the clan fights by building a small prison, arrest the character with the worst relationship and set his or her rival as the overseer. Set conversation on the prisoner and each time the overseer has a chat with him, the relation will go up. With a bowlers hat you should be able to go into green numbers pretty fast. Notice that only the prisoner is impacted by this. I know it's tricky, since people tend to defend themselves when trying to catch them and that you lose a worker for the time they are in prison. But it might be worth it...
I was listening you in the background, while playing something else. Wasn't paying that much attention when I heard you compare some stat, and in my mind it became "shark defense." Was quite amusing moment.
Dont know if this is the same for everyone, but I am getting 3-5 ads per video. This is increased from maybe 1 from before your most recent channel update/explanation. I hope this means UA-cam is starting to work for you and that all your hard work is paying off. Thanks for the great videos!
Love the destroyed = turned off and thrumbos = mechanoids lol. Idk if you saw my other comment, but is padilla giving a “colonist left unburied” mood debuff?
You could caravan and sell all the stuff you're not using to take your wealth down so raids don't scale up too ridiculously too quickly. Your wealth will instantly drop once it's on the caravan and not in your icehole. Loving the series though, easily one of the best you've done!
1) this campaign is wealth-independent mode so it's irrelevant. 2) It takes 90 billion years to walk on frozen terrain. It's virtually impossible to get to a town and back between raids. 3) That's a lot of time spent not building defenses.
Part of my seed requirements when I started was that there would not be any other towns nearby, specifically to make sure we were isolated and couldn't cheese caravans. Fortunately there's few towns in the ice sheet so the first seed worked out fine.
Have I commented already the dust time I watched? Probably. Does that mean I won't make another comment on the off chance that it helps the YT a-word? Absolutely not. I love your videos, Xavier! You deserve way more subscribers.
Amazing video, so glad to have my character for the first time in a series, can't wait to see how Shadow will meet her end!! (btw, my name in the patreon list has a mistake in it, it's Sierra, as opposed to serra 😉)
great vid! Btw, did I misunderstand or has something happened? I thought you said in the channel update video you were going to aim for daily uploads when bravowulf got back?
Yes and then his house flooded and chimney cracked while Christine's grandmother died and necessitated an emergency trip across the country. So... 2 steps back, 1 step forward. The aim is the same, but first we must crush reality
@@CrushaofMans Ouch! Yeah definitely can understand how those things would have set you back. Obviously real life emergencies and family take priority. My condolences for the grandmother passing. Hopefully BW can get his home repaired as well. Best wishes to both of you.
I rarely use miniguns, only if I have trigger happy pawn with aim over 15. Even then I think LMGs work better, but will be fun to see Luna using them more
It's faster to build the wall then uninstall it, so when the critter walks in you quickly install the wall, once the animal goes down you uninstall the wall before he catches on fire.
if you added numbers to your videos I think it might make them a lot easier to start watching in the middle of a series. I know you have playlists but if someone didnt check those theyd just be totally lost if they came across one of your vids and didnt realize it wasnt the first in a given series... idk just some food for thought I guess. really like your vids btw
@@Bravowulf lol, it was just a little joke all in good fun. However, if you listen to the stream he said: "returning with 30 steel traps... Well, we brought 3 with us, so we are up 28 steel traps" sorry but that math doesn't check out. If you subtract the two that were used you could say he was up 29 or just raw numbers of starting with 3 and ending with 30 is up 27. So up 27 or 29, but cannot be 28. ;-)
I think Thrumbos do eat Pemmican, the problem was the one that left was moving to the exit already and it just focus on doing that, so the food didn't worked.
I had to remind myself this was a Naked Merciless 500% difficulty start today.
This man is amazing at CRUSHING Rimworld! Makes it look to easy
Really good skills + linear difficulty
As much as I like and think he's good,killbox is very very OP. Raid doesn't feel like raid anymore

The killbox hasn't even been used yet either.

Fantastic series! I love the personalities you’ve given all the colonists!
Same, a like him because this interation with the guys
How Luna did not kill the colony, the centipede and the audience with that _totally controlled_ firing at the end there I do not know... Crush ! :D
WOO, ANOTHER EPISODE OF MY FAVORITE SERIES. MAY THE UA-cam GODS BLESS THIS VIDEEOOOO
Crusha of Mans?
More like Crusha of Difficulties, you make it look like a normal 100% difficulty game. Please keep uploading this, I totally love it.
14:14 "I smell our ancestors on that hooman, maybe we should avoid her."
OMG this series is great. 11 minutes in and i felt compelled to comment to let EVERYONE :cough youtube: know how engaged i am!
We Have Vanilla Expanded Vikings...sir you know what you must do...YOU MUST CRUSH PEOPLE IN A MEDIEVIL SOCIETY LIKE YOU DID YEARS AGO
Many eyes will be lost. Fell plots will be launched. Many longhalls will be constructed!
@@Zoey-- and of course Legends will be born

CRUSHED of the Mans! And the Toorets! And the Mechs! And the Old Ladies! Love this show. Best series on the Rim!
It has been so long since the last episode that youtube is starting to recommend me to watch from episode 1 again.

Holy everything. This series is getting more insane every episode.
1:50 EZ PZ Lemon squeezy!
18:52 Nice hunting! :D
19:35 Big brain arriving position!!
26:20 Aaaaaaaand we have a winner!!
“With a guy named paul”
No rest for the wicked. I wake up and instantly must CRAAAAAAAUSH

There’s nothing Luna can’t trap, thrumbo’s, mans...
I love this series and characters so much. Keep up the fantastic work Xavier and Bravowulf!
The way Xavier revise his jokes, man.
So amazing. Hahahahahh...
I’m so glad the channel is growing so quickly!
This Serie is Amaaaaazing. I think its earned the "Most Cordial Grannies ever" Label!
Love this series. The cute music playing while senselessly murdering is throwing me off, it's too funny hope it's intentional
I think the algorithm finally loves you again! so many new people
I say, you got a new subscriber right here! Hope you do lots more rimworld stuff, really enjoying it!
Best rimworld series so far, you have earned a new number one fan
Oh man, so much fun, half hour episodes are not enough, I need moreeeeeee
And once again these old ladys demonstrate that age and perfidiousness trump youth and enthusiasm (and even doomsday rocket launchers). Great job!
Awesome vid. Great job at crushing it. Way to handle the events today.
They got you surrounded, the poor mans.....they must be new here, otherwise they'd known even John Wick doesn't dare mess with Luna's chair.
Epic as usual and stellar content mate.
Yeah i bettedd on Luna. And i was right, she shattered the nose of the young lady, disfiguring her for life... What a lesson.
The quality of these videos are great, very entertaining. Keep it up!!!
Love your energy, makes me laugh :D
next chapter, next chapter, next chapter, next chapter !
Love the destroyed = turned off and thrumbos = mechanoids lol. Idk if you saw my other comment, but is padilla giving a “colonist left unburied” mood debuff?
Best rimworld content on the web!
I'm really enjoying your series - can't wait for the next episode :-)
13:43 Epic Brawl Two: Electric Boogaloo!
Wait, no EMI dynamo sort of ruins that...
Damn, I'm no better at this than you were.
Commenting to help my new favorite Rimworld series, fight against the YT algorithm. Viva la resistance!!!
Man these episodes are crazier and crazier, I mean wow, a joy to watch!
Just binged this series to get up to date. This is so amazing.
Really like your personality! Keep up the good work :)
Great content as always Xavier and Bravowulf.
And the horrifying screams of the broiling Thrumbo could be heard for miles around.
You monster.
I'm loving this series gr8 job
Oh cmon this is the best! How come you upload so often? Not complaining at all...
Best rimworld series I've been watching

@@CrushaofMans cool, nice to know a bit more of your setup and extra challenge you put in for yourself!
These videos are so great! Really so well made keep it up
Great, another video! Let's go!
Luna is a freaking lunatic- I wouldnt want to get caught in a cabin on the ice sheets with her. XD
Have I commented already the dust time I watched? Probably. Does that mean I won't make another comment on the off chance that it helps the YT a-word? Absolutely not.
I love your videos, Xavier! You deserve way more subscribers.
I'm not early, you're early.
Great story and I'm learning some really nice tricks too, thank you
Excellent as always. Thought the centipede would be more of a challenge
Amazing video, so glad to have my character for the first time in a series, can't wait to see how Shadow will meet her end!!
(btw, my name in the patreon list has a mistake in it, it's Sierra, as opposed to serra 😉)
Instantly fixed, Mr. Mountain! Sorry for turning you into Mr. Saw :) Also, thank you for your support.
@@Bravowulf thanks! So glad you two work together now, you guys make an incredible team! ❤️
That was a relief , i did a good choice sticking up to the series , well play tho
entertaining to watch & and deliciously devious story playing..
Love your content. Keep up the great content.
Saturday morning cartoons!
Love this series !!
Absolutely insane run, loving it.
Some high level rimworlding going on here
Awesome job. Keep it up!
great vid!

Another great episode as always!
I just love this serie
Xavier, have you thought about doing another Rimwolrd Vikings playthrough? Maybe this time with the new Vanilla Expanded Viking Factions mod?
At last... Waited so long for the next episode.
Amazing as always!!!!
Perfect episode.
Another fine chapter for the story
Entertaining as always :)
love your storytelling
Do you need to remove your home area from the thrumbo homes?
No I shut off the toggle in a prior episode
I rarely use miniguns, only if I have trigger happy pawn with aim over 15. Even then I think LMGs work better, but will be fun to see Luna using them more
Thanks for the video!
I can easily see this guy with 100k subs soon.
What is the face mod you are using? I need this! Love this series
"facial stuff"
Thanks
I believe its Facial Stuff.
Discord link in the description. Go to Rimworld channel and click the pin at top.
All mod lists are there.

Nice Episode :)
Where is the next episode? We need it...
@6:35 "we're up 28 steel traps" ... 30 - 3 = 28? Hacker confirmed! :D
Pirates Luna attacked tripped only 2 our of 3 traps she brought :)
@@Bravowulf lol, it was just a little joke all in good fun.

Ad first I didn't liked the way you comment the series, it annoyed me.
Now I'm a fan!
Keep it going!
There's something magical about your username...
Push this content to everyone youtube!
Does anyone knows which mod is the one that shows the weapons/apparel's stats to compare them more easily?
don't mind me just binge watching the whole series
I LOVE this chapter!!!
Sees Thrumbo Trap.... yoinks for early Tribal runs
what is that mod called which is showing the mood in the face? i want my pawns to get sad or happy faces too
Is there a list of mods you are using? I really like the animal skins and character facial expressions.
You are awesome!
