Some of these new changes are WILD, check out the game here! play.paradoxinteractive.com/Day9TV

Mechabellum streams have been some of my absolute favorite Day9 content, I'm really glad he's gone back to it for the updates

My brother-in-law has been recommending Mechabellum to me for a while now. Seeing you this excited about it has convinced me to pick it up!

So happy you're in to this game! It's such a fun strategy game and can't wait to see this game grow and get some proper tournament support etc.

I watch a high MMR player (Rat) and the same changes you like, Sean, they hate. As you mentioned the game was previously so sharply designed and the added randomness of new units means that high level players don’t commit to any one particular build - because it’s sometimes randomly punished by the free units. It also makes some of the starting packages into high loss percentages. Starting without chaffe in your opener is “unplayable”. At the same time; I agree with you. The variance that makes 18-2200 MMR play very safe and stale makes the average MMR games wild and much more interesting to play. I especially like the free for all mode they just introduced - as all I really wanna do is make wacky comps.

Either I don't understand this game at all, or I just watched someone say "Well, these phoenix's are a problem" 11 rounds in a row and then never address his ability to shoot up?

it really is interesting to watch someone enjoy a strategy game when they struggle with it and concepts of strategy on such a fundamental level.

I love how shaun hates building flying units that would solve his problems...

Scorps are *hilariously* OP. They basically make any other ground unit their bitch.

I wonder if the double-barrelled Sabertooth tank is a reference to the double-barreled GDI Mammoth tank

Great to see you play this again!

You had me screaming in your match against salt monkey: FLYING UNITS, SCORPIONS CANT SHOOT UP, MAKE OVERLORDS

i hope you continue to play this on your channel! love this game

oh man day9's joy in this series is so infectious

1:36:15 fortress shields or overlords would have helped a lot I think

So much fun watching Shaun reacting to the wackiness of Free Four All and the rare units too.

This game brings me functionally endless joy

oh dude I love mechabellum, this new mode is a great shot in the arm

If day9 happens to see this, I like to use steelballs with diffusion and/or fangs with shields to tank scorpions, then something with high damage to kill it

Picked it up about a month a go and been hooked ever since.

I didn't realize this is an auto battler. Reminds me of Scorched Earth *WAY* back in the day.

I was excited to try this game out after the first 30 mins or so..... now kinda not sure if I want to ever buy it with the existence of hackers XD

Another game bought after watching Day9 play for 5 minutes

1:15:00 Watching you on round 7 and you still have no single target snipers - Marksmen or Pheonix. I have basically been screaming at my screen every round at this point. Also, sorry to say that the rhino rush counter is Melting point. So .. perhaps not the best choice? If you insist on it, put a pack of crawlers in front of the poor guy so the melty locks on to them instead? You'll need a second crawler pack 3 units ahead and to the side to bait any sentry missiles off the crawler of course. Also, when a play doesn't work? Sell it. Use the money to try something else! 1:17:40 Sledge + Marksmen let you climb? Yeah, like many combos that one got countered hard by scorps. Good luck! 1:28:30 When the enemy has only air units left at the end and you have a fortress? Get those anti-air missiles next time. Also, why is your opponent not building another 3 scorpions? They would have annihilated you with them. 1:34:30 - EMP on your stormcallers would have nerfed the hell out of the enemy vulcan and hackers. Also it would have been a lot cheaper to click the shield bubble tech on the fortress (300) rather than using 100 for every shield every round. Also mustang production? Oh no!

Im baffled why he doesn´t have missile interception on his mustangs...

Nice to see you back at the mech game! Although, a whole lot of "I'm goin to build scorpions for the rest of the game" and a whole lot less of "actually building and teching scorpions". #angryface #demandapropergameofalotofbigboomboomscorps

Try Elite marksmen Fortress with Fang production in FFA, it's hilariously good and a lot of fun. Seeing these Colossal mechs marching with a horde of tiny infantry units swarming around them is peak Mechabellum. The produced units will have any upgrades you buy for the static unit. I'd recommend range and shield at least for the fangs.

These new units look awesome

So this seems like auto-chess with an objective with rogue-lite altering choices from round to round. Looks interesting.

Would love to see Day9 play the brood war mod for sc2!

Thanks!

Just an FYI in case no one said it yet, apparently hackers are quazi op/broken because they can hack the OP ai units as well. Edit: or so I've been told by comments in the other 4v4 videos I've watched

Sending fortresses against hackers without range upgrade is just asking to get noobstomped

U r a smart and handsome man.

Its a fun game but i always had trouble getting a grasp of the strategy.

Hey paradox I'd love to compose you some music that doesn't get copy striked. Such a shame KZfaqrs have to play in silence. Hit me up.

never heard of this game.

I don't like the random unit card as it takes away control from the player over what unit composition to use.

Sir Sean! If you aren’t aware (but how could you not be?): StarCraft 2: Mass Recall may strike your fancy! Sorry(ish) for barging into the comments of an unrelated video, but it was the most-recent video and the news was so exciting to deliver!

If you pick assault fang the game should just alt f4 for you.

turn back on the great music 😭

Hello viewer of this video. Welcome to "bro just buy more marksmen" simulator. or phoenix....

Why is Shawn bald?

day9 loses every game, yet has 1200mmr. So stupid. 75% winrate and have played for years now and am not that high. Literally broken ranking system

More people watched this video than have ever played this game

Game looking good. But I feel a bit of political message in the starting class, so I pass.

tried, refunded. still miss the old wc3 map called castle fight
