im really glad he hasnt quit youtube to go twitch full time, i actually dont watch any of his stream i wait for them to be uploaded to youtube and i watch these videos too, so im very glad. even though his views went from like the millions to only a couple thousand
@@ruinfox4108 Streaming has gone to shit, really. It used to be just people talking while doing stuff, but now it's nothing but constant interruptions, either due to donation alerts, or the streamer thanking for donations. To me, it feels like it's gotten to where it's literally worse than ads, and is why I stopped watching all streamers years ago.
This game calculates a majority of things on the GPU. Even things like AI. GPUs are really fast at simple calculations. And since the AI are pretty simple you can get really high numbers. It also makes eeextensive use of instanced rendering. Where many of the same models are rendered as one to save performance. It's all stuff that's been possible for years but not done by anyone.
I just wanna take a moment to appreciate how you don't hear the sound of the nukes til the shockwave actually reaches the camera. So many games and movies and stuff nowadays seem to forget that sound is slower than light, so it's always a good detail to see
this shit's like black friday, theres people waiting in the premiere 15 hours before it actually starts, like 30 souls just chillin.. waiting 15 hours for this thing to start.. wild.
that wouldnt work, teardown is a game surrounded about voxels, but uebs have realistically modeled characters you cant put voxel destruction in a game without voxels lmao
Whaaa? You're still around? Dude, I watched you almost religiously when I was 14-15.. I'm 23 now.. and I still love your content! How nostalgic it is to hear your voice. Daniel, please continue making these sort of videos! You were how I found new video games to play!
I've heard that all the units are actually calculated properly. Normally, these kinds of games will approximate what would happen whenever the camera is turned away to keep going, but the mad tech wizards behind this game are using the GPU to do a lot of the heavy lifting. It's madness, I tells you!
Man, I just wish Dan did one battle where he didn't interfere with it all. Especially one like the tanks v orcs. The thing about having ranged units fight melee units is that the ranged units are going to have an advantage in the beginning, when they're able to combine all their firepower, but as soon as they start taking losses, their ability to output damage is gonna start to go down, and go down quickly. The kills the melee units are gonna get is gonna increase exponentially. It's actually pretty interesting from a game theory aspect
That's something I was thinking, especially when it turned into, who will win: these guys, or these others where I delete half their troops with Nukes or force them to abandon their strategies?
Pfff hahaha, I learned long ago that Dan is not the man to watch if you want that sort of thing, he gets frustratingly bored if things go on for too long.
Before I clicked on the video I was thinking: "What could a sequel possibly add or improve to be worth it?" *wow* Respect to everyone that worked on this thing. The scale is absolutely insane, especially considering the amount of time before the original and between it and this.
I love these kinds of videos, the "Dan shows off an amazingly cool game, and does it the best possible way" kind. I wish I had a computer that could render that.
So what you're telling me is that the person who wins in a fight between 2 sides is 'whoever the guy with the nuke decides is the winner' And you know what that makes sense
The only thing I wish Matt did was mention a timestamp, tone, or time to skip ahead to, for avoidance of the flash things, but since it's relatively inconsistent, it kinda makes sense. Hopefully flash avoidences can be a feature for Sponsorblock for those that use it.
I love that you’re still making these same videos no matter what year or what game they’re always great I know you probably won’t see this but thanks having started making stuff myself I now understand just how hard it really is to upload this much 👍
So resumes the decade old tradition of using NerdCubed to find new cool games to play. It’s been a wonderful time. I also have your book! It’s hilarious.
My favourite thing about Dan is that he can showcase literally any game bad or good, and always make it interesting. It’s a talent to make any game seem interesting enough to make me want to see a never-ending series on it. Thank you over a decade of entertainment.
Who completely forgot that this was your youtube channel way back then 6+ years ago and got this on your recommended and now you wanna live back memories and want to watch him again.
My god, it has been a good few years since I have watched a NerdCubed video. Seeing a NerdCubed Play's video and hearing the beloved "HELLO PROCRASTINATORS" Intro brought back so many fond memories ❤️
A part of me really wants to know whether the Tesla&Cleopatra vs. 40000 Chicken fight was winnable if you take control of the AI and choose to hold the choke points at the pyramids. Maybe split it so there's 50 of each at each entrance, Tesla in the front line and Cleo at range, or put each group at a different gate and see if one line breaks before the other.
Everyone please, open a second UA-cam tab in your browser and find Beethoven's "Ode an die Freude." Now synch up the 8:45 nuke explosion with the climax of the song and enjoy.
This video starts with Moses parting the Red Sea, then it actually makes the Red Sea. How the actual holy fuck did Dan's computer not explode making this?!
In my opinion this game gets old very quickly. The reason I _love_ it is because it is a proof of concept for the unused potential of the GPU. The trick to running this obscene number of AIs at once is to not run the AI logic on the CPU, which even on the high end only had a dozen or so cores, but on the GPU which even at the low end will have thousands of cores. If more devs could think outside the box like this, who knows where gaming could go.
i know that you don’t upload on youtube very much anymore but i used to watch you when i was 10 and i loved you channel and would stay up and wait for your videos to come out. i still watch you to this day and i beg you to upload more on youtube like you used too. i’m now 19 and heading off to college and would love to watch your videos while studying just like i used too when i was a little kid.
I watched this on Patreon previously but it was at a shit resolution for some reason and even so I’m willing to watch this entire 36 min video again only a day later because this shit is just too good, this is why I subbed over a decade ago and have watched every video since!
The fact that he still uploads these kinds of videos makes me indescribably happy
me to ive watched this guy since the start pretty much
im really glad he hasnt quit youtube to go twitch full time, i actually dont watch any of his stream i wait for them to be uploaded to youtube and i watch these videos too, so im very glad. even though his views went from like the millions to only a couple thousand
@@epikpanstan69 Yeah same, I watched this guy ever since he made those GTA V videos in 2013-2014. Good old youtube times I wish I can get back. :(

Eh it feels like he got the bag and gave up tbh
Dan's 'Poultry in Motion' joke at 15:45 just reminds me why I've never missed a video for a decade now.
That’s better than me. I’m on and off for several years now.
@@SentinalSlice Likewise. No idea why I stop watching his videos but I always love coming back
It's one of the best jokes he has ever made, and it was completely on the spot.
Dan is too good.
*_She blinded me with chicken!_*
The nuke going off made my jaw drop like how in the world can that run on a computer without instantly killing your PC
Satan gets all the good programmers :P
Keep in mind Dan probably has a killer rig
@@Axius27 yep
@@PPGIRL420 He has a killer rig, but how would that not destroy an i15 20th gen, an RTX 9000, and 300gb of RAM? Developers are getting INSANE

MacArthur Moment

Dude pools of blood when many men die. Blast waves with explosions. Water colour purple when mixed with blood. So many cool details.
As soon as he said "1 million" I added it to my wishlist.
Will I ever have a rig powerful enough? Unlikely.
Do I care?
Only a little
Honestly this game seems remarkably well optomised, you might not need a rig as powerful as you think.
@@mannmctrash yup. runs pretty decent on my 1050ti
this shit's like black friday, theres people waiting in the premiere 15 hours before it actually starts, like 30 souls just chillin.. waiting 15 hours for this thing to start.. wild.
gonna need a part 2 to this, maybe even a part 3
Imagine if this dev team and the Teardown dev team worked together and made UEBS3 with destructable terrain.
that wouldnt work, teardown is a game surrounded about voxels, but uebs have realistically modeled characters you cant put voxel destruction in a game without voxels lmao
This game's optimization hack is only applicable to millions of entities with a makeup that is similar and simple with a generally united function.
To those replying: Obviously this would then necessitate UEBS3 to be voxel based. Duh.
God would never allow anything that good to exist while I’m in the world.
When I saw the bodies flying through the air via a nuke in slow motion, that is the key moment when I knew that I had to buy this game
so I haven't watched dan in about 4 years. So coming back and hearing the old intro from years before has made me unbelievably happy.
Whaaa? You're still around?
Dude, I watched you almost religiously when I was 14-15.. I'm 23 now.. and I still love your content!
How nostalgic it is to hear your voice. Daniel, please continue making these sort of videos! You were how I found new video games to play!
He streams on twitch as well:)
He's written books! The domain of the Nerdcubed is going worldwide!

Respect to everyone that worked on this thing. The scale is absolutely insane, especially considering the amount of time before the original and between it and this.
Please make more videos like this. The gaming videos were a solid part of my childhood.
Every time I see footage of this game I get more convinced that the whole thing was made as an offering in honour of the Chaos God Khorne.
UA-cam compression makes this video just *that* much more special
I love these kinds of videos, the "Dan shows off an amazingly cool game, and does it the best possible way" kind. I wish I had a computer that could render that.
This is like all the deceptive footage from those mobile RTS games, but actually as advertised. Someone definitely sold their soul to make this work.
This is how I imagined the stickmen wars I would draw in my textbooks at school
9:20
“When I said our men shall blot out the sun, this isn’t what I had in mind”
"I'm digging through chicken guts to find Tesla!" is not a sentence I thought I would hear today
So what you're telling me is that the person who wins in a fight between 2 sides is 'whoever the guy with the nuke decides is the winner'
And you know what that makes sense
This is what happens when you use the power of the modern GPU properly. Turns out it's good for more than just rendering pretty graphics
the Cleopatra POV from the pyramid looking down at giant chickens for as far as the eye can see gives off major Attack on Titan vibes.
The only thing I wish Matt did was mention a timestamp, tone, or time to skip ahead to, for avoidance of the flash things, but since it's relatively inconsistent, it kinda makes sense. Hopefully flash avoidences can be a feature for Sponsorblock for those that use it.
It's so mad to think I'm 19 and I literally grew up w this legend, ik that's not old but damn this guy was my childhood aha the nostalgia
Cant wait Dan cant wait been watching All your old video’s lately!
11:30
"Sir! We are surrounded! What shall we do?"
"Excellent! Then we may attack in ANY direction!"
;D
I love that you’re still making these same videos no matter what year or what game they’re always great I know you probably won’t see this but thanks having started making stuff myself I now understand just how hard it really is to upload this much 👍
So Cleopatra can shoot fireballs now? Pharaohnuf
Booo!
This video takes me back to high school :) ...thanks Dan!
*2 million men charge at each other*
"what's the strategy?"
ww1 in a nutshell
Wait, I haven't watched dan in forever.. "Hello Procrastinators" is back? Neat.
I've followed the development of UEBS 2. It's amazing how much more polished it is
prediction halfway through the chicken match, on a map with buildings the humans win, on a flat plane the chickens win
The Teslas were literally buried in chicken corpses.
This showed up on my home page, I haven't seen a video from NerdCubed in ages. I couldn't be happier that I have rediscovered you

They released a 2nd one? Awesome.

I still love how in this video you can hear Rebecca's non-binary identity popping up in Dan's sketch of "How's the wife?" "They're well"
"This is a horrifying thing, I'm digging through chicken guts to find Tesla"
- NerdCubed, 2022
*nukes two flanks of the tanks, visibly disintigrating them*
*Flies over a minute later* "looks like the orcs are pushing through!"
Certainly didn't expected to be watching a fight between tesla, Cleopatra and giant chickens when I woke up this morning
8:16
Parted the red sea
"Poultry in motion"😅
I remember watching this guy when I was 9-10 years old and he’s still uploading it’s so great
“Poultry in motion” god I fucking love you Dan. Never change lad
25:00 Basically the plot to “Gate”. Where the modern military invades a fantasy world

Top tier nerd cubed content, glad to see you’re back, excited to read your book when it comes out
27:29 Dan referring to the wife as they because his wife uses they/them is everything to me
I missed a chapter when was the procrastinators back
I want to see a retelling of this battle by a 70-year-old veteran to his grand kids. Grampa Grandpa tell us about the nuke tsunamis
Poultry in motion is the greatest joke of this channel
This video starts with Moses parting the Red Sea, then it actually makes the Red Sea. How the actual holy fuck did Dan's computer not explode making this?!
Having you pop up and hearing hello procrastinators just hit me right in the 10 year old memories.
These types of videos seem to be making a come back and I am really glad Dan is covering it!!!!
We need more of this, like yesterday.
Would I watch 2 hours of random battles with Dans commentary? Yes, yes I would.
Dan, please...
Just-
Don't stop being you, Dan. Please.
Hearing "Hello Procrastinators" sent me back in time to a happy place.
Miss you every day zoomzoom0
This reminded me of Harry Hill. "I like _____ and I also like ___. But which is better? There's only one way to find out... *FIGHT!* "

A moment of silence for Dan's computer
I loved the original UEBS...this brings back so many memories
0:35
Me: "Maybe like fifty thousa- oh... oh no... oh god"

Why the video premiers is that long, Did Dan watched The Best Video On UA-cam by The Spiffing Brit, He is hacking the system
13:45 somehow, fewer casualties than the battle of stalingrad
