TierZoo No problem bud, mistakes happen, aside from that, absolutely fantastic and extremely entertaining as well as informative video as always :)

Your whole concept is so awesome the mistakes are minuscule.

or maybe you were keeping some hidden updates from us that the devs let you beta test

Yes I was tempted to correct you on that one. Although, because of Earth's atmosphere making twilight possible, one could argue that we have more daytime than nighttime including our dusk and dawn twilight hours, and the effect exaggerates more the further you travel from the equator.

Also a little strange to lump the crow and octopus together. Crows can live 20-30 years in the wild and octopus only live 2-3 years.

infected by noob players who probably survive extinction too thanks to human intervention.

Tell that to the ex Smilodon players

Samuel Sanford I hear the W40K server has some ridiculous stuff too, though I’ve heard rumors of Outside servers that don’t use the Earth setting that are crazy; haven’t seen any solid evidence they exist, though.

Part of the issue is that due to early mammal mains focusing on nocturnal rogue gameplay, a lot of really good abilities were lost, and had to be regained. Combine this with how much more complex teeth in many mammals are, and you see where some of the tradeoff went

It's just glass cannon grief builds.

Yea *Chosses to play as god*

Old joke

Uninstall isnt possible with this game, the uninstall.exe is broken. You could always try to terminate your character with a high enough dps weapon Although thats a terrible and unsatisfying ending and considered easy mode.

I know this game can suck but I don't think logging out is the answer

It def gets more fun later I really hate to see new players rage quit.

Humans are going to get nerfed soon, by the "out of resource" debuff, that is going to stop the growth of the winning streak.

Humans kept getting nerfs, but they're main perks are their high intelligence stats, in most of the servers, the intelligence stat is the most broken stat to ever exist, sure it needs a build that accommodate with that high intelligence, but when played right, it'll dominate the server. That's why it was so high in the tier list.

When your intelligence becomes high enough you unlock the ability to install mods and hack into the source code. It grants humans abilities that even the devs couldn't program into the game.

@@SoupTurtle16 People keep predicting this nerf, but it never comes. There was the Malthusian update, the Peak Oil update and the Population Bomb update that kept getting hyped but were never released. The Climate Change update has at least been released and it seems like it might have a shot but it might get wound back a bit by the devs because of the renewable energy workaround.

Because they have so many experience sources only available for their use. Also they have been spawning so many new players for last few hundred years

lmao same

Is it worth it? Do you play on Arctic server? (I try myself to spec even more into intelligence and bit into endurance)

@@Staremperor yeah i play in the nordic servers. Very cold especially during fall, winter and early spring

@@mrpekoni Then, I understand your point allocation. Here in central Europe I rarely see harsh winter, so different stats are worthwhile. BTW: do you think, that human playerbase will diverge and spec into different evolution branches as time passes?

so it's not like fat reserve?

I tried the rat in that server

oh no

This debuff was patched so don't worry, but because of that rat players have gained a fear debuff they can use on human players.

Yo I decided to play as a Yersinia Pestis, extreme KD ratio but it was a very short game.

Due to the bacteria guild that server was impossible difficulty for awhile

Fun fact: There is a species of humming bird that migrates over the Gulf of Mexico and needs to be about 40% fat to survive the journey

@@mme.veronica735 im sorta a humming bird myself

Hi pleb

I didn't know what BIS meant. Now I do.

@@David_Fellner it's a pretty common term in RPGs haha

It can also stand for but in seat

That sounds like a positive mechanic for the build. It weeds out the casual female players that are not interested in gaining evolution points at a rapid rate, leaving only the try hard players to min max the server.

​@@LegDayLas Idk man, I'd settle for some other debuff as a punishment mechanism, a whole game over just seems kinda harsh. It's like adding a "sex meter" to survival mode, on top of food/water/sleep etc xD

​@ShilohSays Its true and for this reason female ferrets are neutered to be pets, unless they are used for breeding

@@LegDayLas Not for the female, given that Ferret sex is essentially rape by any other name.

Elliott Barth yeah those players are OP, especially with the rise of spawnkillers old builds like measles and polio and smallpox are coming back

Single-cell anti-human meta achieved its full potential during the middle ages, but they almost destroyed their own source of food.

those guys just zerg rush B cyka other builds to win, and even then you have the passive "white cell" to keep that from happening

They might be op but I can only imagine how boring the gameplay is

Humans are crafting more and more tools that can wipe out a whole team of them, or even gain absolute resistance to single cell damage. Look at the flu; just less than 100 years back they can easily kill a human, but nowadays we gained resistance to most of them. Sadly some 12 year old dumbass kid players refuse to equip those tools because they read a rumor somewhere that equipping them gives you serious debuffs, and now old single cell builds are coming back

Legend has it that a subspecies called Homo Idioticus, or the Karen, is among the human playerbase wreaking havoc. It's a wonder it's not extinct. I think it's main abilities are Wanting to speak to the manager and calling the law for no apparent reason. But that's just some random speculation. Edit:One incorrect thing. Some high tier playerbases center their build around rage and do well(Bears, Badgers, Bovines, Rhinos, etc.)

rage? never heard of the ability

@@archenhailor pfft. i bet ur a lvl 1 pacifist build. evrybody here uses rage, super gud if u balance it w intelligence and strength then u just activate it 4 a 60 second berserk phase granting every player within 10 metres the fear effect and +50% dmg 4 u. but if ur thinking of getting it i recommend to grind skill points 4 rage by playing the call of duty minigame.

Kratos would like to disagree

@@thesnickers_fan2340 He's a demi god not a human.

It's The Game's version of the MMORPG carebear ;).

He's being unfair, nocturnal play can be a lot of fun, its just a different vibe. It can be very social if you select the right build, bats are social AND nocturnal. I'm tired of us bat mains getting lumped in with the other shitty nocturnal species.

@@mirsolis4992 Understandable. I was thinking back on a previous Baker/College Student build. I can't think of a clever metaphor for "Regularly played Civ 5 until 4am".

Is this why I have insomnia?

They dont, he was joking. Venom is a myth,

Tim fondiggle wut

Just in case.... Unlike most mammals, some species of shrews are venomous. Shrew venom is not conducted into the wound by fangs, but by grooves in the teeth. The venom contains various compounds, and the contents of the venom glands of the American short-tailed shrew are sufficient to kill 200 mice by intravenous injection. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrew

@@scouttf2143 if you bite that thing and you die it's poisonous but if that thing bites you and then you die it's venomous

@@scouttf2143 moron, venom and poison are NOT the same. You can generally eat venom without issue, it needs to enter through soft tissue or be injected directly into the body, while poison will fuck you up however it gets into your body. The definitions aren't the same, and neither is the chemistry

I can't argue with how unoptimized our teeth are, and I agree they need some kind of regeneration, but I think you are severely underestimating nails and I would like to offer a different, but admittedly uninformed perspective. TLDR: Small tools are the most relevant to simians, and fingernails let them use small tools better than even most birds Since our fingers' small size make them really squishy, reinforcing them with an exoskeleton of sorts massively increases our precision, dexterity, and maximum grip strength with the pinch move, primarily against small objects. This makes us just as proficient with small tools as we are with large ones, which is important since small tools are the most relevant for the tasks simians need tools for. As a result, having nails to reliably use small tools is arguably why simians are reliable tool users in general

Makes me think that if those hummingbirds have to eat so often but are getting in the habit of going to feeders could that not be a fatal mistake for some of them. "Oh crap I got 10 minutes to live got to find a snack! Hey, I know, there's free food in that human garden, no need to scout out flowers like my parents did. Oh, it's empty this time, I'm dead x(".

Chimps DO teach things to each other. The main difference between them and us (apart from certain degree of intelligence) is writing and literature, which perpetuates knowledge. Also I think they don´t have the ability to speak which is also very important but i´m not sure

@@ignaciochoperena9718 no they dont teach each other, they just learn from eachothers actions. Monkey see, monkey do... Monkey dont instruct, monkeyt don't explain. Humans have a desire to share knowledge that monkeys don't.

@@Domieboy How do you want them to explain things to each other if they can't even talk neither they have a common language to understand what the other Is trying to tell him. It Is just primitive teaching, we used to do the same and many other animals do aswell

I would actually like to see something other than intelligence be meta. I suggest putting a new mechanic in that can better counter it thus giving other playstyles a chance to shine

@@Domieboy Your argument is a little fragmented. Yes, monkeys do adopt the "monkey see, monkey do". But we can't assume there isn't any instruction due to that. Instruction can occur through imitation or bodily gestures. What they lack is the ability of speech and complex language. I think many of the ape families teach, I'm guessing a majority of the mammal species also teach. Teaching is an ability that was discovered and specced into, much before the homo sapiens patch rolled around. As far as I understand.

The corona virus event was only bad for the human class, many animals benefited from not having anyone on the streets to be able to reproduce or get food

Thing is,the lore of the current human meta included World Of Warcraft,in which those human devs accidentally created a plague of their own,and the results of that were actually beneficial to all the medical focussed sections of the human meta when it came to human psychology. However,the self-Nerfing of humans by other humans through things like the cursed item TikTok caused a large loss in higher inteligence in exchange for more in game currency created an unusual occurrence where players would just keep on grinding dangerously despite their HP being low(which requires proper rest to get back),which simply helped the Corona-chan players to go literally viral. Had the human players simply chose to stay in their home regions and hunkered down with their guild members,the Covid-19 update would've been just another update.

Humans frequently team kill each other.

Nice to know!

Same

100% of my knowledge of biology comes from this channel

I thought it was zoology lol

A lot of predators won't eat an animal if they don't kill it, possibly because they think it had some kind of disease. It's the strategy used by opossums and it's worked out fine for them. Though opossums do it much better.

It's not goat mains that spec into that ability, its Alts used by human mains so they can easily bypass their own characters defenses so their Main can gain XP easier.

goats are gimmick tier but some sub types have really cool mechanics that allow them to play in otherwise inaccessible areas especially in mountainous terrain. I'll admit I've been tempted, I've always wanted to see some of those areas, imagine the view. With my luck though I'd just get ganked by a snow leopard minutes after loading up my character :(

@@mirsolis4992 which server are you in? I think i can help you!

I'm just gonna explain this with without video game lingo since I'm not good at it: This is a trait that was bred into goats by humans. No goat has this naturally. The reason this fainting trait was bred into existence was because humans wanted a way to save the rest of the herd from an attack. The fainting goat would take one for the team and make easy prey while everyone else gets away.

Umm then come sharks boii

@@gonzalo4842 Did you know that since sharks evolved before scales became a thing their skin is made of teeth?

i highly disagree with the advantages of non regenerating teeth outweighing tooth regeneration. non generating teeth require maintenance which only one species has the intelligence and dexterity required to do. i mean even the most dominant non regenerating build in the current meta understands the importance of tooth regeneration, so much so that humans have started to patch up or replace defective teeth, no sane human player would complain about having tooth regeneration.

Ugh, Gazelle mains are the worst.

No, the cheetah is just a bad design. Or at least a subpar one. In Africa they've got to compete with lions, hyenas, and african wild dogs, all of which are more efficient hunters, multiply their fighting abilities through cooperation, and require less space per individual to survive. Not to mention all of them can take down larger prey than the cheetah. The cheetah simply isn't good enough.

Gazelle players are so over-tiered by comparison that some will taunt with an emote while evading cheetah players. (Look up stotting, where gazelles jump and stiffen their bodies seemingly without reason, seems to be used to intimidate/taunt cheetah into giving up their chase.

Cheetahs don't even get brain damage from running for too long. It's a common misconception because some people in a lab put thermometers up the butts of 2 Cheetahs and saw their temp went up when running.
