did you know it's called millennia because that's how long you'll spend playing the game?
true fact trust me don't look it up
You can pre-order the game here: millennia.paradoxinteractive.com/Quarbit
edit: also I said raiders are good for sacking cities, but real certified raider enjoyers have informed me they're actually broken for conquering too
also not every crisis age thrusts you into global war, it varies (age of blood does though)
13:25 "Unfortunately we can't get rid of the Amazon rainforest" skill issue I say, we're doing a great job of it irl
Not really. At the current rate of deforestation it'll take centuries for the Amazon to disappear.
It's not going anywhere.
Ngl, the time i spent on the demo was one of the best times i ever spent on a 4X title, the last time being in Civ IV and at some specific matches of Civ V.
The UI might he Fugly, but I liked the general idea and feeling of the game. This is a game that has bad graphics but awesome mechanics, and I dig these kinds of games
this is my feeling exactly. UI and graphics aren't what I'd call great, yet I now have 54 hours in the game
The game is good, but issue is Paradox's policy of zillion dlcs to bleed your wallet.
@@khurramwadiwalla4922And in result all their games has more content than anybody elses games like Civ , lol. Don't see any issues
Tip: Build outposts and use the “absorb outpost” instead of building towns.
When you absorb the outpost you instantly get all the spaces the outpost covers. If done right, that’s an instant 7 hexes
Way easier and faster way to expand quickly
I didn't thought I will watch the entire video when I first started. Looks like a very good game with potential. I wouldn't mind to see some Millennia videos in channel every now and then.
Awesome that you're covering Millennia! I've been hyped for the game since playing the demo and it's nice to see so many youtubers feeling the same way.
One thing though: Local Reforms is really strong, it usually gives the same amount of knowledge as eureka (but over 5 turns) as well as production, food, sanitation, gold, improvement points, culture etc. Spamming that culture power easily pulls you ahead of the pack. It's a 50% bonus to everything, so basically like +50% admin efficiency for 5 turns. I recommend going for it over Eureka at all times (except when you really need to beat someone at reaching the next age). Cheers!
That's a pretty good observation. I must have misread it the first time as "doubles the goods produced" and written it off. But if it does as you say, then you're right that's pretty strong for the early game.
I imagine having lots of integrated cities would make it less effective, as each city pulls more weight and it only targets one
@@Quarbit Yeah it's definitely an early game thing, in the demo I used it 80% of the time since 60 turns isn't really enough time to build more than one big city. Although I do see it being a strong ability if you want a city to grow even in the late game
I like how long it took Quarbit to notice Luxor. Gameplay over Graphics, hell yeah!
This game is so similar to Humandkind. I really hope they release a demo so I can see how different it is. The town idea is in Endless Legend and Humandkind.
I hope this game doesnt fall into the same trappings as Humankind were the customization with ages can make you super OP very quickly
they did release a demo a few weeks ago, not sure if they plan to have that again
@QuarbitGaming oh damn, I didnt notice. I'll give it a look tomorrow then!
although I think the demo isn't available anymore. hopefully on release they bring it back though, it was a really great execution for a demo
How is this similar to Humankind??? What? Honestly, the amount of times people see *ONE* mechanic (and often not even a defining mechanic) that's even remotely similar to a mechanic in another game and then equate the entire game to that other game is kinda nuts.
If anything I'd make the comparison to Old World, not Humankind.
By and far the game is most similar to Civilization. Barely anything is similar to Humankind that isn't already seen in a Civ title.
Even in a different genre, Paradox gamers still love their death wars.
Mechanically, I love what this game is doing. Everything else is very rough...
my sentiments exactly. a new coat of paint would do it much good (and a few balance changes here and there for mid-late game)
Not being able to raze a city in an undesirable location is a bit of a bummer, though I can understand to an extent. It would be nice to have other options like integrating as a town for another city or 'exile' and give the opponent the choice of a settler or increasing population in their nearest city. Perhaps only allow razing in early ages or cause a significant diplomatic incident if you raze?
I was hoping that you could raze in exchange for additional chaos. It can be punishing enough to avoid doing too often, but viable enough to actually do it when necessary
You can destroy a city, if it is only 1 pop.
Scouts>tribalelders>workers is the best initial combo in my experience. For second age, go for diplomacy first, everything else can be adjusted depending on your circumstances. In the early game focus on food and knowledge.
So glad youre covering this. Looks great
I have the ugly feeling that razing cities is going to be a feature of Millennia's first DLC.
This is a Paradox game, after all.
I sure hope not. I might ask what they have in mind though (likely I will not be able to share it)
Love this game and already pre-ordered. Great to see you playing this one Quarbit!
Listen.. I play Aurora 4x what does graphics even mean??
Mechanics are KING, this is looking interesting as all hell.
this game looks really cool, and especially knowing it's a paradox game you can already tell some of the bad UI will get fixed in later DLCs
It’s only being published by PDX
can you pls make ottoman run with that harem & eyalet events explained(so much monarchs changing) plus how to avoid european coalitions after I hit hungary ? I m 1 week old player learned a bit thanks to you but cant find good allies to rely on eu wars + have to wait too much to cool small hre nations . big fan
As a fan of the Civ games this was interesting, and I would definitely be interested in watching more!
This game has really interesting mechanics, despite the fact that graphics need some improvement, but I don't really care about graphic. Also I think that demo was a mistake because a lot of main things you cannot see during demo's 50-60 turns.
Culture power cost increases exponentially, and you dont get much power each turn, so save them for when youre in a pickle. Try to own 3 landmarks and get as many vassals as possible asap.
I would like a part 2!
Is the mic a bit muffled for anyone or is my tv sound bar just not up to the task?
I have to agree with what’s been said about the ui. I drop in at random points of the video and a lot of the elements just done jive, it’s like they were made with totally different intentions in mind
Holding out hope it’s improves but I’ve always been interested in the game. Thanks for sharing
The handsome royal anime knight guy VTuber! :D
the CooltasticOG!
@@Quarbit Truly OG 😎
An hour was a little rough but please continue this game!
Paradox Variety channel™
real and true (I will probably be going full time in May)
The UI is just abysmal, whole thing just screams cheap mobile game
yeah I agree. I had my reservations about trying the game *because* of the UI, but the gameplay surprised me so I got used to it after the first 10 hours
It looks a lot like Civ V
@@Quarbitthats enough time for stockholm syndome to set in
@@Quarbityour name is quarbit gaming 😊
sorry i am stroke 😅
Non eu4 quarbing gamoing?, it's likelier than you think
I’m not going to lie i booted this game up played 30 turns and said “damn this is UI is so shit” then closed the game. I’m so glad my dude made a video on it because honestly, being a civ player, this game looks dope.
mechanics look interesting, but why does it have runescape-level graphics?
+500 ducats 😎
Mechanically I think it looks pretty good, but I'm pretty concerned that the civs all seem pretty undifferentiated which I think is going to be a big problem for replayability for me.
That's something I was thinking too.
For sure. I've been advocating for something to make them unique but for now I've just been roleplaying as each civ by picking the national spirits I associate most with them
@@QuarbitCivs being identical is intentional. You're supposed to differentiated your faction through national spirits and government choices.
i am honest here, if they just remove the battle view i would buy this game but this one thing is so ugly i dont know ... just REMOVING it and having autofight would make this game better i feel
The battle view is helpful for learning how certain units work though (like archers bypassing walls, which is never otherwise explained iirc). And it can be a nice indicator for players to learn how the unit types balances interact.
You can always skip them
Really interesting mechanics
I really want to like this game, but it ain't easy
Whats the point of starting in 10k bc and then made that every turn is 250 years?Civ 6 is way better on that front,building your civ and really growing it.
the number of years that pass per turn decreases with each age
Hmm.
It's like Anno had a baby with Civ
Part two when? 👉👈
Well, there won't be a part two of this run because this is from several patches ago. I don't think it's compatible anymore
but after release, I'd like to maybe make another video
Post more Millennia!
Spain is a Militarist?!
Well i Didn't expect the Spanish.......
Finally a true competitor against Sid Meier's Civilization series, i hope they will start improving after seeing it looks really good game
let's wait for it to release before we start calling it a true competitor
though I have been having a lot of fun, idk what the average civ enjoyer will think on release
How big can the maps be?
Shown in this video was most of one continent on a medium-sized continents map. There would be 2 continents on a map like this, each with half of the players from my experience. There are also 2 sizes of map larger than this, but I haven't played far enough into a game on either to know what it changes exactly.
@@Quarbit interesting, thanks for the reply!
So its not called Millenia beacuase there will be a million DLC or you will neeed to be a millionaire to pay for all the DLC. Might have caught me if this was published by any other company
Walls are very Magic the Gathering, then?
Looks a lot like civ V (I love it)
Bit of an error in the editing around 11:35 ? Otherwise nice video as always my man
ah, there might be a few that I failed to notice. it happens usually when I'm the one doing the editing instead of my editor (I'm getting rusty)
@@Quarbitforgot the ol' lock and key on the basement door again? Happens to the best of us
i dont like how the ai can lock you out of the ages, theyre just going to speed run the ages and itll be annoying
early game the AI tends to rush ages faster than you can, but by the end of age 3 an average player can start taking control
don't be surprised to end up in quite a few plague ages though (they need to fix the way the AI handles sanitation imo)
I don’t see how this game isn’t just a complete rip from Civ 6
admittedly I only have 100 hours in civ6, but from what I can tell it's mostly variant ages (with unique technologies and systems each), national spirits, the town system, supply chains, and many things in late game which I can't disclose yet
So it is literally a civilization copy?...
It looks like a civ clone.
I think any civ competitor inevitably falls into that category
"4x human civilization builder" is pretty niche
Sadly people seem to hate this game for no good reason. Hope you keep playing it despite the rabid antifans it has.
You failed age of heroes, because you didn't aim knowledge to win the race for "ages" vs other nations.
Battle graphics are terrible, Old World graphics are a lot better.
the combat looks like a mobile phone fantasy ad with its rigid fast animations but honestly it gives the game a very unique look.
humankind better
I didn't have the chance to play humankind before it came out, and most people I asked about it said it wasn't worth the price
@@Quarbit i like how you can autoresolve battles or play them yourself. i wish in EU 5 there would be some kind of system to have more impact on the battles not just numbers go down
