Was I alone in thinking that the introduction of the queen is a massive power spike? Even if so, I think I've cracked the code to get over that hump, more coming soon.

5-7 range covers the entire board vertically, and the 11° angle made a really neat sniper build using 2 turns instead of 3 turns every cycle. (1 to shoot, 1 to reload vs 1 to change to sniper, 1 to shoot, 1 to reload) Your only weakness was corners really.

That was an unbelievable game, such synergy, and despite the wall of danger pawns, you deleted it like it was nothing.

you should do a challenge where you can’t see the enemy upgrades when picking them, it’d be fun to see you accidentally pick the dumbest counter-syngergies by random chance.

The pawns blocked the rook, bushop and queens way, while being unable to touch yiu themselves. Knights the only other unit gave you an extra turn. Excellent run.

"thank you for not being Stockfish" I'm DEAD, tyler. Absolute perfection.

For the record, the pieces' hitboxes span the entire tile they're on, from what I've been experiencing.

Wow! Given the video's length, I thought this was gonna be a death in the midgame (maybe another unexpected blunder like the grenade), but instead it was just a king bumrush decimation, what a crazy run!

If you can pick the red book, then get it. It has a special interaction if you beat floor 12 while a bishop is still alive.

After a full mobility run that speeds across the board, we get a sniper build that demolishes without a single step

14:06 missed opportunity to call it "Great pawn of China"

can't wait to see Tyler do the secret boss, it's so sick and it's very difficult

Saw this series and started watching it as a joke to waste time one day, now I love it and the only things that surpass it on the channel are Turmoil, Slay the Spire, and Monster Train.

I just want to share that rightful curtsy is pretty good despite what Tyler says. The knockback chance adds up rather than multiplying, so double curtsy is insanely strong. With moat you can keep pushing pieces behind the moat, holding your position. I'm pretty sure the only piece that can kill you when knocked is the knight, when shooting diagonally if it's right beside you. Queens, rooks and bishops can only kill you if you were in check already. I've already beaten the hardest difficulty and I've done some speedruns with moderate success. 1:42.01 (edit: updated time, that's a really strong run I just got, wanted to share it) on normal mode and 2:57.10 (edit: updated time, just had a good run) on hard mode. It's hard to consider the other two "speedruns", but my time on very hard is 7:53.81 and 11:27.13 on king mode. The top runner is insane though, she's actually cracked. Best of luck to Tyler! Make sure to give some of the "worse" upgrades a chance. I highly recommend loafers (strafe mode), specially in combination with other movement upgrades. I also found my favourite build recently, where you get sacred crown and censer with blunderbuss and you just soul into melee range of any piece, blow them up and repeat. Speedrunning this game has a great feel to it, specially with the extra comodity of the in-game clock.

Perfect vids to watch after a day of hard work, keep it up man!

“He’s standing there… MENACINGLY!!!”

August Presence, usually a mildly decent skill that has not much going for it except maybe High Focus, became insanely overpowered when the white board became heavily Pawn-based. A perfect reiteration of Avengers' "We have an army. I have T-pose to assert dominance and You! Shall Not! *Pass*!"

I was really loving the peglin/backpack hero series running back to back, i could absolutely watch more mini motorways, and this game has started to definitely grow on me. long time fan recently returning, i love your content, the way you play games, and we have a very similar taste in games so youre always playing something interesting to watch. Edit: and your fucking consistency is fantastic. take a break if you need to. i love relaxing after work with your videos.

"MISTAH PRESIDENT" - the last pawn jumping to save omega-king not knowing he failed

The pawns helped you so much. Higher pieces are basically useless with 534153 pawns blocking their movements. August presence was just the cherry on top.

Mom: we have engraved scope at home Engraved scope at home: crow blessing + high focus x2

Small fry harvest is just so strong. Especially in combination with lots of damage, such as firepower or grenades, you can just clean up a board without ever needing to generate ammo

I just imagine Tyler doing his intro 15 times in a row and just losing 2 minutes afterwards lol

F for the pawn that jumped infront of the boss at the end. He could've lived.

holy that was fire bro really stood still and won

3:51 - “sun zu” art of war

You can kill the enemy king, even if you're in check. You win if it dies.

Someone else mentioned this on another one of your videos, but it's quite awesome how this game has such a silly premise but is actually a ton of fun and has a lot of strategy to it. Also, so close to 500k! Awesome to see your channel grow!

13:59 Great wall of pawn china is now the sentence of the month

Max blunderbuss when you can, become a gun god of destruction

11:06 Thank you for not being a Stockfish WHEEZE

Almost 500k on YT!!! Love the vids

I was looking forward to this, hope you keep the series going tyler.

Love this series

"Thanks for not being stockfish." Here's a man who really knows his chess.

"getting shot is funnier" -Aliensrock 2022

"But getting shot is funnier" -Aliensrock 2022

You basicly became a sentry

This was a really cool run

the white king after the black king turns his shotgun into a 50mm caliber sniper rifle:

Those lines one your hand called fingerprints are where the 3d printer’s layer height messed up

Damn, that was a powerful build.

Cant get enough of your videos

That was epic!

Not even a shotgun king anymore, that's a sniper king

Augustus presence combined with either pawn army or high focus is op but the three together

the pawns have spears, or can have spears, terrifying

"100 rated chess, but you have a shotty."

I'm hyped for the king difficulty attempts! Maybe you could have a video (or 2) of all the fails/entertaining fails then have a separate video for the win. whatever you plan to do I'm sure it will be great like all your other videos!

The extra pawns feel like they turn into an advantage at a certain point, because they block the enemy pieces from moving.

Time to pwn some pawns

Hello, Tyler Have you ever heard of a game series called Rusty Lake? It’s similar to The Room series, except is a bit more… “horror?” oriented It consists of pretty interesting and somewhat difficult puzzles

Finally managed to catch a chess but American episode early

Words of Tyler: " Great Wall of Pawn China"

'but getting shot is funnier' aliensrock 2022

Game: Hard mode Tyler: yeah, for them Game: 😳

That was a pretty satisfying run

ANOTHER SHOTGUN KING WOOOO

Great run!

They should add this to cool math games

Tyler, there is a Secret ending that requires you to have the red book and one Bishop left after you kill the finał boss. Good Luck!

this chad just beat the final boss without moving

This video put my like in check.

"I need more power"

The only funnier thing with pawn army is spamming the grenades with the upgrade that gives ammo on killing pawns. It does exactly 3 damage and the pawns have 3 HP. Each grenade would get something like 6 pawns

With all that reload, a second barrel would be an amazing synergy, basically constantly having ammo

3:41 missed opportunity of a deez knights joke

Sniper is a good job mate!

I love these vids play more of this game!!!!

seams like all those pawns screwed them

Yesterday I pulled off a fantastic combo in "king" difficulty: with grenades, zillions of pawns and the ability to generate 1 ammo per pawn killed, I was able to wipe the entire screen throwing grenades from across the board. It was celestial. At the end I got moat too xDd

The great wall of pawn china 😂

The great wall of Pawns worked against them, the better pieces could reach you XD

Ya know, winnig the last boss gave me an idea, I'm probably not alone with this idea... a no move run

woulda been hilarious if shotgun king with the royal shotgun fights doomguy with the super shotgun

"Gret wal of pawn china"

the red book makes you fight a secret finall boss if you leave 1 bishop alive after killing the finall boss

I found this episode to be much more entertaining in the early game instead of just late game like the previous episodes tbh. I know its a bit luck based on what the build can be but I still enjoyed this episode a lot.

Pawns become useless in diagonal directions.

I think you'd love card theif

The new sniper build after they nerfed the old one. Though it needs more luck to get the right cards

Da great wall of pawn china

The Pawn build

This game is what happens when you take the Great Wall of China and sell it to a pawn shop.

Try the secret boss the black bishop, you need the red book in the final battle and kill the mega king with 1 bishop alive

I wonder if he would do this idea. You have the mind set of the whites, pick the upgrades that would benefit the whites then play as the black king with the semi-random upgrade you obtained. This would make any difficulty feel like an uphill battle.

Great run, but should have tried to use the downpour wand to get the final hit on the boss.

imagine a sniper build without the sniper scope

There is a secret boss involving a bishop and its buffs on the final boss fight

like i said its impsible to knockback someone into check without already being in check by said peice only thing bad about it is that you get a worse shot at them

do you plan on doing the black bishop ending? It would be fun to see you try it

One idea, you can put together a few of your losses together to make a video, so long as each one can be interesting and unique

I just beat very hard today, it was insane, I owe the win to moat, strafe shot, and three loaded shots by the end.

Wouldnt mind another nova drift upload

Doing this with bloodless cou would be a challenge.

The description though.

You know, I hadn't watched footage of this game before because I didn't have the energy to devote to another roguelite/like (side note, check out warm snow if you haven't already) but I think I like this one lol.

I hope to see rightful curtsey and the moat together some time

imagine if cornered despot

closer and closer to 500k you shoulld play Inops for 500k
