I tend towards optimization in the variety of strategy games that I play, especially those that reward deep analysis. I tend to play complex strategy and wargames, predominantly turn-based or pausable -- I need time to over-analyze, of course!

"TortugaPower" comes from my nickname "Tortuga" while I lived in Spain, combined with "Turtle Power" from my favorite childhood TV show.

The YorkTown is "Unavailable" thats a way to put it XD
Hey bro I really love this game what games would you recommend that are similar to this
If you want more transport-focused titles, Transport Fever and openTTD (free game). Otherwise this is similar to the old Industry Giant 2. Wish I knew more games with the factory focus -- there's Factorio.
You need cargo bays because Constructor will leave materials for future upgrades of base.
Loving the series, can’t wait for the next play-through!
In case it wasn't obvious, let's be clear that this isn't how scientists work. The moment scientist 2 deviated from testing protocol without writing down exactly what he did, the data would have been contaminated and lose a lot of it's use. That guy is the type of person who can derail multi-year collaborative research projects for their own ego. Don't be that guy.
Wait until you see the ending!
People over profits....a winning strategy!
How about a break and play something else like Shadows of Forbidden gods or the new game Dustland deliveries which is both deep and challenging (learn it off cam though).
Shadows of Forbidden Gods sounds familiar, but I can't place it. I'll have to go look that one up. Dustland, I think that one's new , and new to me, but yeah I can check it out. And thanks, I always love hearing recommendations/suggestions!
To be honest I half expected him to die cause of the title
Try the giant sword and become guts
I concur....Next time on Heads Will Roll: Go full warlord!
I'm eager to see Random Pete n°3. To be honest, I had dropped n°2. Don't think I watched the previous episode and skimmed this one. Crafting was cool but fights were formalities and we missed on the whole squad system. So I want to see that and also an agility build maybe. (Heck, I think I miss the actual random approach.) On a more subjective note, I don't think this series is worth it but, remember Barbarossa? You would pause and plan how to handle a given front. Maybe doing that each time you go back to camp could help. I don't remember instances but there are times where it felt like you were stumbling blind in a porcelain shop. But generally I think my expectations are not the ones to follow. Clearly there is a meta I am willfully ignorant of and that seems to be what people want to see, whereas I'm still stuck looking at this game like a roguelite.
Yeah, I at times was pained by the planning thing in post and editing. Most of my trimming comes at the strategy screen when I'm a bit lost. That's fine for me when I'm on my own, but the people demand entertainment...
RIP Poor Peasant #2. Never liked you anyway on behalf of being too virtuous. Hope your next reincarnation will take a more ruinous path.
I have some ideas...
Justice sword wielding noble playthrough incoming
I can't remember exactly but I had the impression from seeing it in a run that sword has really bad stats (except for a nice price tag for selling).
Tortuga: please stop giving away the outcomes in the title of your videos! We want suspense; not spoilers!
Noted! I thought the video length gives it away, so my middle-ground solution was to put "the end" without spoiling how it ends (dies or not). There is an alternative where I don't need to put titles at all, just episode number.
Well for me there was still a bit of suspense with the bear fight, but looking at the time remaining I ruled that ending out
@@TortugaPower I wouldn’t want to know if this it the end: I would suggest a name that describes a significant moment in the episode. This episode could be “Bear Fight” or something along those lines - maybe more creative.
He survived, that doesn't happen too often.
I love how the different paths in this game intersect.
I want to see how crossbows work eventually.
Maybe I can try a crossbow run (at least somewhat) in our next. But it greatly interferes with training of other skills, as you'd imagine. I'll check it out privately and decide.
Monsterous Evil Beast - Dies after two Hist. Yeah that description fits XD
14:30 The monstrous reward is the bear claw becomes permantly unlocked as a starter item. This means that 2H man now has 83% strength ratio on overhead strike and can now often punch through 50 points of armour late game and still deal damage. Which, with the stronger poisons, is all the damage you need to start applying toxic and injuries which are very severe in a strength build. Sure strength build is weak in mercenary and civil life, but there are dozens of people with heavy armour in noble and 1 tapling them through armour ranges from merely "satisfying" to "utterly needed to counter BS crossbow"
That Crossbow BS is real thou. Good tip to know about the Bear claw + STR.
Starting off the video, I do enjoy watching the small-town life. I'm sure nothing wrong will happen, and everything will turn out peacefully.
Too bad it ended, I think they should've given you a chance to fight for Earl and Eddie(my favorite characters). But hey, you survived, so I guess there's that!
I guess there's always next run for them, and I certainly intend to go that path next time!
Next up! Unvirtuous Military guy!
Tried this game three times, this time i watched this video and I have got over the original hurdle. Thanks so much!
The Famous General that was not famous enough to have his name remembered 🤣
Im surprised youre going for a virtue run, and then never actually praying ? Doesnt it also have the bonuses you would get if you would use the flagellation thingy ? Or is it simply because its not as much rest ?
It's not as much rest compared to lute, and the proc for the benefits is pretty rare (10% for stat upgrade, but you probably are better off using lute and training directly with the extra rest).
Ex Soldier Turned Bouncer, seems like a logical Career path.
Tortuga, go to the Tavern and hear some rumours! Rumours, the 1976 album by Fleetwood Mac, awesome music for a tavern ambiance 😇
I am a fan of Fleetwood Mac!
You can put cloth/leather in the chest and still craft with it.
That's right! Thanks
Your rent is 300 Florins per week??
Seems insane for game purposes only. Like we know a full ass brigandine, jewelry etc is worth 100-300. Or that the monthly pay for soldier on campaign is 55 florins-110 ish. So 300florins for room and board is pretty much... dumb. Unless of course that is'nt the weekly fee but downpayment for the house that is paid off at spolier alert 3rd week in maidstone where you get the decision to begin a civilian life or go to war. Making the house worth about 900, similar to plate armour which makes actually pretty logical sense.
I must live in the Silicon Valley of medieval England
@@TortugaPower You can not escape it
25:30 i belive that bonecrusher can only inflict limb injuries, and there are only two types of those so to get the 3rd one youll need to just hit them somewhere else and get lucky. The buchers blade would probably be great here
Butcher's blade + blackjack seems like an appropriate combo, you can get injuries or fatigue.
The very clearly outlined rules for the bouncer job is a nice change of pace from the typical "iuno figure it out" from a lot of the other side stuff
Bonecrusher only targets limbs, so those are the only possible injury locations. Using batter on other targets like the head can cause other injuries.
Never done this route, but my theory would be that since the club's "ability" can only target the limbs, it can only inflict limb injuries (legs & arms). If that's the case, then it basically caps out at giving you two "free" injuries right off the rip, with you needing to "naturally" generate the 3rd injury (head -> concussion would probably be the easiest, since none had helmets)
The demaged lung from body hits works as well.
Makes sense! I just couldn't come up with it on my own.
This is pretty cool! I like this route as a way to really train up and prepare for when the stakes get higher. The bar fights are fun too.
Tortuga: Ahh yes, all I need now is a relaxing bar fight...
The interest on the loan shark wasn't weekly. It was one time. Then a 75 florin late payment per week it isn't paid.
Hi! EDIT I see what you mean: the payment is a flat 75 weekly, not 300. 300 is a flat one-time fee. You are correct, thanks! Its interest rate effectively decreases with time. EDIT 2 The effective rate extrapolated from one year of payments is still absurd: 1200% interest, and higher if you pay it off before a year.
There's a quote from Hamlet, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be."
Of course, Hamlet gutted the guy who said that... :)
Hey man! Your vid got recommended to me and I have been binging the last 6 episodes of this game and loving it, looks like a very fun game so I'm hoping to learn more about it from watching you. <3
The YT algorithm has looked with favor upon me. Great game, a bit unknown for how fun it is. Enjoy!!
I get the impression that the game is trying to punish you for breaking the french merc narrative it usually places you in. add to that the simply unfair economy it imposed, it seems like there's an obvious "correct" choice with duncan. It also makes me wonder what it could possibly have you do if you decline. Like, what could the game possibly be if you refuse an offer you can't refuse? To that end I'm much more interested in the refusal route than taking what seems the "easy out" route
Then I have some good news for you... :)
Duncan is the Hard Way, brother! You will sleep on the ground, without luxuries and have to give LOTS to the cause. Better to wait, make some more money then go with the Army Recruiter, it will bring some surprises ⚔️🔥♾️
I made my choice, Ep 7 tmrw, but I'd like to come back and try it another time.
Might want to get better shield coverage. You will get murdered by crossbows. I died like that with a godlike character who had the same shield as you. ;)
Good tip, thanks!
Hunting Sword, plus Hunting Knife, Plus Huntsman can get you like 70 ish Gold each time you go Scavenging, not to mention you get ALOT of leather (Like 8 I want to say). It is pretty lucrative actually since you can easily craft leather into other more valuable/useful things. Herbsmen and a Empty Vial can help you find Healing/Poison herbs while Scavenging.
Seriously.... the game just TAKES all your money? I Call BULL@#$%! Bruh we just came back from a War, a Hero no less, you should at least be able to keep SOME of the money. Your Virtuous Peasant is certainly starting to look like a badass now. Dabbed in chainmail and light Plating with an AXE to grind.
Yeah I think this run is very strong. But not sure we're in the right storyline for his skills!
Join the rebellion
Join the revolution comrade!
Just did the Duncan plotline in my own run but sadly died neared the end of it. I won't spoil it but if you expect a more robin hood plotline that doesn't last long. The Duncan plot is built for a run that left Cambri with no skills outside fighting and would rapidly become broke in the main return to England as a peasant plot. The Duncan run is something I recommend you do in you free time off-screen or on a stream as it is mainly fights with trash foes and quite a bit of heavy crossbow enemies that can pierce plate. Lastly there is very little choices and interesting characters in the plotline, It is mainly filled with callbacks to other england stories I'm not sure you have seen yet. So accept the offer at your own peril.
@@Lasttemplar1612 Good take! I hope Tortuga decides to revisit the Duncan thread after a more successful run in England.
I have now finished this Season, recording-wise. So I expect I can stream exactly that!
I remember reading there was not one example of horizontal bombing working in the pacific on ships in motion. Far too easy to evade.
Well the blacksmith shop definitly gets you more then the other two and i imagine you can get more orders as the alchemist since craftsmen is all about lether. It probably is worth it to open all 3, and get that reputation bonus to 50 or 60 by the end. And i would have to rewatch the episode and run the numbers but i would say the craftsmen workshop might have gotten you those 80 florins back. I doubt you made much profit from it tho Well, now im tempted to boot up the game and try my luck as a peasant or a merc since as it turns out, my random start character definitly doesn't have the stats to make it as a knigh
@@agentiq007 merc might be easier than peasant. At least to win.
If there is a possible route such that will get you to earn a title try to go for that. Maybe there will be an opportunity to join your Earl from the France campaign.
I'm hoping to end up back with the Earl from this storyline. Not sure it's possible. This is a virtuous run, after all!
Highly unlikely that the scale armour can be stacked. If you *read the item card,* you'll notice that all the armours you can stack - in other words, use in the crafting system - have the line right under their item name in the top left corner, "Usable in Crafting." Scale armor does not have this line. Thus, I'd hazard that you cannot use it in crafting and thus, cannot stack it with other armour.
Thanks! I hadn't picked that out. In my next test run (after this), I'll put it to the test. ALthough that doesn't solve things entirely, as even two craftable ones may not be combined if they are the same layer (like mail + hauberk)
@@TortugaPower Aye, for those cases, I've found that "fits viewpoint of the general public" is almost always correct. Basically, what the average Joe on the street would say. So for, say, mail and fauld, the generic conclusion would be "both are armor, so you can't put one over the other" (even though, historically, it was very common to have additional armour over mail). I'd be willing to bet that almost all metal body armour falls under the same layer - at least, I haven't found any exceptions so far
Screw that guy. Decline
