"We need to get as many blightcysts as possible and then we win" "16 blightcysts!? From a glade event?! We dont want that! No i'll pick the other thing!"
I absolutely love how you explained your actions through this playthrough! We need more content creators like you too many just assume people know why they are doing something. I learned a lot by you explaining your actions which some were different than what I was doing but failing in my playthrough of this map. Great job man, you have a subscriber in me!
Found this game watching you play it, Potato. Picked it up at a good discount on Steam. Great game! Keep producing these videos -- there as good as your Civ videos -- and your mom!
Just wanted to say, I ended up buying this game because of your videos, and I'm really enjoying it. Wish I'd had a discount code so I could tell the developers that you turned me on to it! (It was discounted regardless, Steam Winter Sale, but I just think you deserve some credit)
Curious to watch you do more AtS content. It was really fun to see how you approached your first seal, and there's plenty more content for you to mess around with.
If you want to learn a lot of shortcuts and stuff, watch Winter Gaming play it. I learned how incredibly useful all the different overlays you can use are, it's really neat.
Holy moly potato! I just finished the first video of the series of Against the Storm and was going to comment on your most recent video for you to continue it and BAM already 2 more videos you are insane!!! Thank you! And keep going!!!
Damn man more people need to like these videos because I don’t really want this to be a short lived series. AoW 4 and now this, love civ but these have been great games for me to discover and watch Potato play
So interesting to see you putting down a grid of streets. I've just been putting buildings up against each other in a wad, maybe with a path out to outlying glades if I happen to have an idle villager.
Not sure he realizes that building paths around houses don't mean anything since villagers never go to the houses to rest, but they go to the campfire. It looks nicer though and hurts less on lower prestige where space may be a bigger problem because you can't have as many woodcutters at the same time etc.
Not sure if you know this already, but there are also overviews for rain engines (hold TAB) and for recipes (hold control). They make managing the town MUCH easier imo
Just bought the game in sale before christmas and am binging it ever since. It's been a long time since a game hooked me like this! Made me look for youtube content on the game, too. Unfortunately there seem to be very few bigger content creators covering it. I would absolutely love to see more of it coming from you! But please... up the difficulty 🙏 the stakes in your games are a bit too low to really captivate. You are never really in any danger.
Bought the game after the videos. Really nice game and even better to see a new series! Anxious for the next one (yes i came here looking for the next episode, WHERE IS IT POTATO? WE NEED MORE)
So honest question: at about 1:12:00, Potato chooses to not pick the option that would spawn 16 cysts. Is it just that the purifiers don't burn them down fast enough or what, because these cysts would be enough to push him over the edge for the cleansing goal?
16 cysts would have added a LOT of corruption to the hearth. My guess is that there was a risk that the purifiers wouldn't be able to deal with them all (especially considering they were understaffed most of the round), and that it may have led to a death spiral.
One blightrot post can handle 20-25 cysts/storm. Nothing really bad happens with high corruption, you just loose 3 villagers. Potato was overpopulated.@@CamoCraft109
@willbrolley262 I think he picked lesser evil because spawned cysts also increases hostility, and he already had high hostility because of glade event for 1 minute into storm, and without glade event it had high hostility due to high amount of workers and years passes, opened glades. He could do it by building 1 or 2 more purifiers, but as i said his choice was less risky. I had games when i almost won, just to have too much cysts even with 2 purifiers, and i got impatience from lost villagers and gg. I would pick 16 cysts option.
Hi there! I see you play a lot of nice games and as you can imagine, I can't watch your whole gallery of vids. It would be great if you could have somewhere a list or (even better) a short video browsing through all games you played so far, so a newcomer (like me) could check it and see what is fitted for him to watch in depth. Thanks!
@PotatoMcWhiskey I think devs fixed it, coal and copper no longer appear beneath trees, and there is always 3x3 space around ore. There was button that showed all water buildings, alt, ctrl, shift or tab, don't remember, so you don't have to click on each building to hunt storm water buildings. 4 or 5 hearts and 78 workers, nice game. I am at gold seal for now. Didn't know there was 8 seals, nice, plenty of content :).
You had the small farm, and the oil presser for most of the game. With those you can produce endless amounts of oil. You also had loads of unused fertile soil, and at times 15 unemployed population. When cutting trees cause hostility, it is imperative to move to another source of fuel for your hearth, and industry...
Most of the time, it seems to me that is better to wait when you spend a reputation bonus. Opening a glade may change everything, like discovering a huge resorce on a glade or getting a specific order. it may not make a difference in low prestige games, but it certainly makes a difference in high prestige games.
Damn, they totally revamped the Sealed Forest for the full release. It used to be much easier because you could win those maps through Reputation like anywhere else.
Thanks for the extra content. I feel like maybe the auto release was configured wrong. I liked this game variant: just getting points meant previous games ended too fast. With the alternate ending requirement, it really reshaped how the game is played.
This was your first bronze seal? How do you have so many upgrades?? I just reached the sealed forest and I doubt I'll win it. I am only level 5. Should I have just skipped it and reset the world without doing it? What are these rain engine things? Would you consider making a guide? Your Civ guides are so good, I bet you'd make a great one!
He has upgrades because he played before seals were added to the game. Try to do them anyway, worst case you lose a map. No penalty anyway. You probably don't have rain engines yet but they're optional anyway.
@@yaelz6043 I did it on pioneer. It went pretty well. Took like 10 years, but I got pretty lucky with a lot of things. My hostility didn't go above 0 until year 9, and I got an achievement for not going above 2 impatience the entire game. I've never had a run go that smooth before, it was crazy. I feel like maybe that was a 1-off, but maybe it's time to try veteran? I'm still new to the game and not at all a "veteran" so that sounds crazy, but that map was way easier than I expected.
@@scully4life i absolutely recommend upping the difficulty. Better lose and understand why than just win on easy mode. Just be ready to sit at hostility 5 every storm.
There's this other quite good city builder I'd recommend you check out, its songs of syx, it has a slower pace, but you get to make some quite grand and intricate cities.
The most important resource on this map is oil. You want to produce oil asap so you don't need wood as a fuel source. Otherwise hostility gets out of control
I tried this game but it just wasn't for me but I'm happy you enjoy it. I'm just sat here waiting for the next civ video. Got all this time between Christmas and New year to fill so help me out 😂. Love ya buddy, keep up the great work.
How is it possible to have so much tech but zero seals? When you come back with an old save doesn't it ask you to to either restart or auto progress to part way through the game?
Man, you would have won like 3 cycles earlier if you hadn't been adding unhoused/unemployed villagers to the roster that dip your resolve threshold, resetting the timer again and again instead of focusing on their immediate needs xd
Aaaah the fact you were so upset about not getting lizard resolve high enough but you forgot you can deactivate woodcutters to reduce hostility and you literally only needed to get rid of one woodcutter, since I can't recall that you ever had the perk that reduced woodcutter hostility in this run.
@@kayedongamesAh I didn't know because I haven't played that map myself. Then I think he should have worked harder on getting that bakery online for pies at an earlier point.
Please, if your able, create more 'Against the Storm' content, its a great game. And your way of presenting it is inspiring!
This man is singlehandedly entertaining us for Xmas. Happy Xmas potato you beautiful bastard.
All those houses with a nice view into the gaping abyss and giant eye looking back.
"We need to get as many blightcysts as possible and then we win" "16 blightcysts!? From a glade event?! We dont want that! No i'll pick the other thing!"
That event is amazing if you have the cornerstones for benefit
He could have won so much faster with that, but whatever. We're not here for super optimized play.

I want more! Binged them all today.
Potato taking a pop off of something and adding it to something else when he has a massive unemployment problem in his town just drives me nuts

Same thing here! Never would have discovered the game without ’Tato, enjoying it a lot
Against the storm is amazing and so are you!
Your videos are great, they are always much comfort to watch!
Fantastic! I love it when Potato just sinks his teeth into a game! So entertaining
Curious to watch you do more AtS content. It was really fun to see how you approached your first seal, and there's plenty more content for you to mess around with.
i enjoyed this Against the Storm content and am leaving a comment to let everyone know
These were great to watch! I learned a lot of small tricks and shortcuts that I completely overlooked when playing myself.
If you want to learn a lot of shortcuts and stuff, watch Winter Gaming play it. I learned how incredibly useful all the different overlays you can use are, it's really neat.
These videos are as entertaining as your Civ videos, keep em coming! :D
Somehow missed this after the first two! Against the Storm and Old World are my favourite non Civ games to watch you play, such awesome games
Holy moly potato! I just finished the first video of the series of Against the Storm and was going to comment on your most recent video for you to continue it and BAM already 2 more videos you are insane!!! Thank you!
And keep going!!!
you have convinced me to get this, it looks super fun!
Such a good game, I can’t stop playing it.
Damn man more people need to like these videos because I don’t really want this to be a short lived series. AoW 4 and now this, love civ but these have been great games for me to discover and watch Potato play

I enjoy how every time Tater goes to upgrade his mines, he's like...
"mm, should I go for the deep mining? that could be good..... NAH pony time!"
LOVED THIS
More please!
No! Potato! We need more! Please! It's a fucking blast to watch you play these
Loving this series!
Please continue making more videos playing this game. Really great content!
Love this game Potato. Hope you keep playing it.
Need more of this
Picked up this game after seeing your video from last week. Super fun. Can't wait to explore more!
Love this game and watching you play!!
MOAR AGAINST THE STORM
What a challenge! This game is so nice. The challenges seem unique and the meta progression is so engaging.
The "20 Minute Adventure" bonus points for a game that lasted to year 10 got me
Not sure if you know this already, but there are also overviews for rain engines (hold TAB) and for recipes (hold control). They make managing the town MUCH easier imo
MOAR Against the Storm, pleaseeeeee!

Would love regular content of this
Thanks for the second video!
Say you play this months ago and had to buy it. A very cool time sink
So honest question: at about 1:12:00, Potato chooses to not pick the option that would spawn 16 cysts. Is it just that the purifiers don't burn them down fast enough or what, because these cysts would be enough to push him over the edge for the cleansing goal?
I think he is just an impulsive picker, and his gut told him cysts were bad...
16 cysts would have added a LOT of corruption to the hearth. My guess is that there was a risk that the purifiers wouldn't be able to deal with them all (especially considering they were understaffed most of the round), and that it may have led to a death spiral.

happy to see more AtS again. Need to reinstall and maybe restart with all the changes as it seems so much has changed

I like that you picked the worst possible location for your mine and never noticed the 2 and 3 tile copper ores nearby.

Yup and sometimes you get a building so you don't need to pick it

I think I'm gonna have to pick up this game. The seal progression was what I needed
Hey Potato, you can deconstruct those waypoints for some extra free resources.
Merry Christmas
More!
This game is awesome. Im still stuck on the last seal after probably 5-10 runs to try to complete it. Its brutal to get enough shards tbh.
Seriously. 2nd last seal I can do in my sleep but that last one is harsh.
I have the game but I haven't installed b/c it feels stressful and a lot of keep track of :/
Also, that's a pretty insane city. My runs are usually over after max 30mins. I should try to up the difficulty.
The most important resource on this map is oil. You want to produce oil asap so you don't need wood as a fuel source. Otherwise hostility gets out of control

whaaaaaaaat? Not enough planks to dig deeper, that stuff literally grows on trees :P.
I was surprised potato kept on accepting newcomers, after a while, it gets to be too many and I just stop taking anyone else in
can you do a platinum seal run
How is it possible to have so much tech but zero seals? When you come back with an old save doesn't it ask you to to either restart or auto progress to part way through the game?
is the smuggler in the game based on potato or was that a happy accident? they look too similar...
Man, you would have won like 3 cycles earlier if you hadn't been adding unhoused/unemployed villagers to the roster that dip your resolve threshold, resetting the timer again and again instead of focusing on their immediate needs xd

@Potato At around 48 minutes, I must disagree - there is no such thing as too many foxes!!

2 videos is nuutss. Couldn't sleep the on the first one. Be a bit boring plzz
Aaaah the fact you were so upset about not getting lizard resolve high enough but you forgot you can deactivate woodcutters to reduce hostility and you literally only needed to get rid of one woodcutter, since I can't recall that you ever had the perk that reduced woodcutter hostility in this run.
didnt he have the effect that woodcutters do not give hostility at all?
Woodcutters don't increase hostility on the Sealed Forest map.
@@kayedongamesAh I didn't know because I haven't played that map myself. Then I think he should have worked harder on getting that bakery online for pies at an earlier point.
I am not sure what half the stuff you are talking about is.
