Co-op & Conquest Diplomacy Update Has Arrived! | Airships: Conquer the Skies #1

generic greetings and welcome back once again to airships conquer the skies and indeed a new series this time featuring the highly anticipated diplomacy update by the way today's beverages a very nice strawberry milkshake very tasty indeed so welcome back to airships conquer the skies as it's shown on the top left the airships conquer together which i think is a very nice touch this is the diplomacy update the highly anticipated and indeed very much appreciated diplomacy update no longer are we limited to absolutely sledging our opponents are being destroyed ourselves in the conquest mode it is all about well a truly a true conquest 2.0 i find so you've got options for diplomacy not just alliances but also you can obviously go to various states of uh war and aggression with options for dealing with territories and requesting tributes demanding tributes there's a reputation system in there you've also got supply and logistics advancements in the buildings you can make not just on the main towns and cities but different outliers there's more random events and seasonal stuff and also expanded things for the espionage yeah it truly truly is a conquest 2.0 and indeed is now available in multiplayer so you can host and indeed join conquest mods in that i've not yet tried that personally but i'm very much looking forward to giving that a go so a new series we're going to jump in i'm going to show you what has been added with this update may not be exhaustive but certainly representative of what you can uh find in this latest update i'm recording this about six hours before release so the version i'm running may be slightly different but it should be representative of what you can get right now and also full disclosure this is not a sponsored video however i have been in contact with the developer david stark for quite some time and obviously exchanged some tweets and things like that and have indeed had access to this version of various versions of the diplomacy update for quite some time and i'm releasing this as a sale is on so as i said not sponsored but i don't see any having mentioning that links in the description etc etc but very much looking forward to jumping into this one and giving this a go let's go over to the conquest mode and we will start a new game so a new game and we have to select all of the options for this so generican is going to be our home town or our empire name we need to edit the arms so you've got things like uh crossed swords 40 damage from sores and flamethrowers interesting crossed keys double research from research treaties yeah it's going to be mentioning things like treaties and things as we go through sexton is really good that's fleet speed the skills is extra income from cities a rat can view towns and cities and fleets so no longer do we need to have loads of spies everywhere we've got like a little vessel there which we can have extra research speed yeah there's loads of loads of options here a wheel ships ready commands twice as fast you know what i think we will go for probably the sextant so increased fleet speed and in terms of the color i'm not really too bothered exactly what we go for do you want to switch it round to maybe something like that yeah and then this side will go for well i don't know it doesn't really matter too much that looks quite nice and then we'll probably have it as yeah maybe that one or that one yeah that's quite large so that's uh that's going to be our that's going to be our court of arms we've got reputation system on diplomacy is on obviously you can toggle these off as well in terms of if you don't want to play the diplomacy stuff you can just turn that off so the option is there if you want to just get rid of it i personally wouldn't but there you are we've got medium size map medium difficulty mixed land type we've got default monsters normal research speed and starting tech is tier one let's start the game and well there'll be a little bit to cover because yeah like i said no longer is it just you sledging the opponents but you've got a lot of things for diplomacy and or we've actually started on an island over here so that could be a good and bad thing but that's where we have been placed so we can see we have several people around us we've got four ball to the left-hand side and um as well to our north we have us source of rule we've got catwick yeah anyway let's go to research and we'll select some research and go right to the bottom here and select scientific method followed by a large suspendium chambers because well i really want to get there oh two years three days to get that that's going to take quite a while so um in terms of differences well actually what we'll do is send a spy over to that place there and we yeah there's diplomacy options and a lot of things to cover but basically there's a typical empire screen shows you your budget and where your income and outgoings are there's your bonuses because of what we've selected but also where we may start so we've actually got a master lensmaker here the master lensmakers workshop is a thing of wonder turning out perfect lenses for optical instruments plus 50s and telescope accuracy bonus there's also a call there deep coal mine which is if you capture that yeah wow that's really good it's a call and this one is an unusual purity a hundred percent call storage wow that's a huge huge bonus so oh is also suspendium suspendium curves minus 50 suspendium cost and hmm ruin tower crashed beehive another crashed beehive not the bees gargoyles over there heretics what's that as well that's a master metallurgist lots of things to experience there also the diplomacy stuff so this is where we can see all of the empires in the game it shows you what type they are so intends to conquer the world this is corona uh sovereign which is creative and easily frightened and bullied so who's around us well we've got four boss here so i can click on them and i can click diplomacy as well so they are a bully so fond of forcing weaker empires into tribute and they are similar strength we're currently at peace we can declare war we can also send a delegation over there to increase our reputation current rep is 49 so we're neither good nor bad it shows you the relationship with others as well you can send ill still insults make on tomatoes you can also make offer and here's all of the options it is huge so you can go for non-aggression pack deep defense packed alliances offer tributes trade different treaties um give them just money even offer towns and cities so i can say for example non-aggression pact and i will offer um i will offer say my main base so they would be on plus 32 to accept that if i was to press that make of a button which i'm obviously not going to do you can also demand things got yeah look you will go into non-aggression and if you don't we'll go to war well they're obviously not going to accept that it's all minuses yeah there are no chances that's going to happen but you can mouse over it and again it tells you all of the reasons why all of the statistics there so it's not what you would call like um a cop out for diplomacy it's not just non-aggression-packed alliance you know and that's it there's loads of options here um so we can build a new ship we don't need to do that um we can also make a non-aggression pact with unkten which is over here which is probably the way to go so let's have a quick chat they are contender intends to dominate the world through uh conquest or alliance well i'm going to say make an offer non-aggression pact and they're on plus two current option is peace let's make that offer and that's now sent and that's good it means hopefully we don't have to deal with them and we can then in turn focus on four boss off yeah football and what about these guys they are craving easily frightened bullied so hopefully they won't come towards us but their neighbor is paranoid assumes everybody else is out to get them hmm possible um we can also build in our generic in here a port which is a part for large merchant ships and fishing fleets plus 18 income and we've got 1173 i am going to spend that also on our smaller towns and cities we can build ports and markets as well i'm going to build another part there naturally parts can only be placed on the the edge so i'm going to i'm going to try and increase my i'm going to try and increase the uh the money that we've got in so get our our not really build up our navy first more build what on earth is that uh mob i said build up our our money and our sort of backbone of the economy first so over here we are let's have a quick look we are at non-aggression packed which is good on the bottom right there's also options for showing the diplomatic status so we can certainly you see we are non-aggression with this one and then all of these are a piece the key is shown on the bottom right you can also switch points of view so we can see from this guy's point of view they are just a piece with absolutely everybody over here is yet they've got some non-aggression going there we've got nothing up north there we've got non-aggression going there so there's a lot of non-aggressions going on uh spine phobos is now established let's have a quick look then so i'm going to change that i should point out as well you've also got showing different alliances so there's currently no alliances to speak of um short on rest so you can see the different unrest green is known rest and then it goes well one exclamation mark two exclamation marks and then three which is bad which will start revolting and then you've also got adjacency as well which well we technically have there is that right uh it is green uh connected to capital if conquered which would mean this trade route here yeah oh interesting they have actually got over here a land ship yeah that's pretty good i don't have any spies to send over so i won't be able to do that but i can check out four ball here so we're going to go to view city and we can see they have a couple of a couple of vessels there so that's pretty good looks like it's got a couple of cannons on there maybe grips i'm not sure that one is well it looks like a boarding ship but i have no idea what it is and also they have some tower blocks okay cool one two three four we can actually see what they're on with better in the blueprint more this is what they're building so cool let's leave that we'll impose it and let the game crack on as i said previously in the conquest mode it's all about absolutely sledging the opponent making sure that no one is left however we can now form alliances and sort of deal with um the different diplomacy options it also means that if two big powerhouses up here then ally together we could just be wiped out so that may be a thing there's some players being made here i can see that corona is sending some forces to what's that zintunum it's one of the stinks's little outposts and let's see if this trades hands i'm is that the battery symbol is the is it that the red the red line and white background is that batteries included in this package is that what that symbol is anyway in terms of reputation let's say we're on 49 people consider this empire to be about as good or bad as any other not you too sure later game exactly how that will massively affect us but we'll see how we get on we have on our main thing here let's have a let's have a let's have a quick look at it what's it on with oh it's armed with kinetic bombs it's it's just a big rock um actual bomb bears as well yeah yeah i have not i'm not really too i've not really jumped into the building of stuff with this update i've been mainly focusing on the diplomacy stuff uh but yeah anyway let's continue on this is we're currently on what this is the calendar so the seventh of uluru four zero four and you've got the the bringer of floods which is in full and a normal era yeah it's probably eight months 15 days left so base research i think yeah the year is changing stuff as we go on oh there's also new music i think we're here in there you can now make a trade treaty can i can i i mean would i want to trade with them make offer i could say trade treaty yankees increased by five percent of theirs and vice versa well i might as well make that offer why not there's no reason why we have to fight that's the whole point i do want to however maybe build another ship and we have all of the stuff we've made previously including the partridge which is very cheap and we've uh messed around with this previously it's a very strange vessel it's boarding but also aerial charges yeah i don't particularly want to build that first i'd rather wait for a bumble bee which we need literally a hundred or something left so we'll wait for that we will wait for that i wonder how these guys are getting on sure relationship status these two these are these are p yeah they're a piece but no no non-aggression packed so um i mean if we take all of this this will be quite good but i'm also very much up for working with other empires that's one things we haven't been able to do in the past and doing that in here would be desirable let's go to build ship and build the bumblebee which is a tier zero technology vessel it's all just ballistas and suspendium tanks it's also exceedingly slow like painfully painfully slow so starting on an island you can see it telegraphing from literally months away when you click on your fleet as well you also now have a supply meter on the top right and you now get options for where you can go so it'll take for example to go to this ruined factory it'll take one month and 24 days to get there sufficient supply to attack and insufficient supply to return so you need to account for that and there is options for building a supply ship which is just there to keep your supply up you can also do besieging and instead of this straight up invading there's also auto resolutions as well which i'm guessing and this is only a guess like all auto resolution systems in every single game ever created it's wholly inaccurate i don't trust art resolution systems ah 79 chance of winning click oh you've lost everything sorry what uh the amount of time that's happened otherwise said oh yes this is a this is very much a defeat and then you actually play it out and you realize that actually you've not lost a thing and you've yeah sorry end of rant let's build another port actually and that'll give us again some more money we have three buildings sorry we have yeah our main sort of town here then we've got these two other ones so we've got a port and we can also make a market you've also got a garrison to reduce maintenance cost and also unrest in a field station which is a research station observing nearby natural phenomena okay yeah uh plus three minutes cost and five research um research would be indeed quite good how we're doing for the fleet fleet is up and running we now have oh we get up to 51 supply so moving over there we would not have insufficient supply to return so it's just a case of oh wow we can't even go over there if we were to attack oh hang on is this guy attacking i think he is let me pause it for a moment and we're gonna check out this guy's status oh are they war i think they are at war okay so do we attack this thing here knowing that his fleet is there um we have sufficient supply to get there but not to get back so it is a risk and it is a risk that i i'm probably going to take let me move further down as i said this is a very very slow fleet because of the thing that we've made it is ridiculously slow uh not even going to attempt to build any landships that's just not going to happen and we need to well insufficient supply return i'm going to risk it and declare war so naturally we have to declare war against them but that's me and this guy one of diplomacy then what if we just send a delegation if they accept you gain two reputation they gain one so let's do that let's send a delegation to see if we can work with this guy uh due to recent actions your reputation has changed yes and the great thing about this is you can see it tell me more and it brings up the manual which you can see there's lots of things in the manual which you can search for thankfully so you can go for death and there's all your defensive pack stuff it's in there yeah or you can see where can i see my repetition and it shows you so tutorial which is very much readable so i don't know exactly what they have in terms of uh in terms of their um fleet but i'm assuming it's more than me if they've taken over that i'm hoping he'll be able to take that back as well but as is always the case never rely on the ai sit with me now let's go to uh view city and check out our spy here we can um build a spy network for three hundred which is 48 chance of working on failure lose is it supply network levels we're on 21 of 60. i'm going to build that which it is successful so we've got the spy network increasing there good this is hopefully good and you age dawns 15 base research two spies available one or seven unrest per city two and rest per town so what i'm going to do is um send a spy over here i want to see what's going on at that location also we could probably build and probably should build another ship and i'm gonna build nothing because i just shy of the 800 that i need for yeah just shy of the atrium did i need for a vessel we could build other people's vessels again we could also still design stuff it's all in here build ship the partridge build one of and let's go for the fight so first fight in the campaign and they have the two vessels that we've seen previously so this is going to move further back because it is oh okay it's a bomber but it actually has a lower service ceiling a lower service ceiling than this thing uh don't want to reserve that let me activate that and place that in further back we'll move this to there as well they have the defensive structures on the right two of and then these two things as well uh automatic combat resolution is defeat your losses non their losses none so i'm not gonna accept that let me move this a bit further forward i'm hoping this is not boarding if it's boarding then i am not going to be overly keen on it let me just get this further below oh it might be a bombing vessel i think it might be yeah there's the bombs there is the bombs okay so we'll have to get our bombing vessel in we've just taken out the crow's nest on this other one which is so optimal to say the least but let's just get over here i'm gonna bring this down my up my my target is this thing get this vessel off the table and keep maneuvering the bumblebee and we're losing suspendium chambers uh we need to move further forward and then activate the single-use weapons which obviously it's hauling them for the time being get closer come on come on come on i'm gonna have to move further this thing i'm going to move further as well i think we'll just be on top of it there's the grenades going out and activation use weapons oh just missed darn it okay that's a bit of a problem but i am managing stairway for the most part from this i am going to target that bomber with our bumblebee keep working along keep going up move these as well you see we've come quite far down actually so i guess moving up and away would be a good course of action get closer getting closer to this bomber here that's good i don't think yeah i don't think we can get above it but i am moving it so we are shooting at least down there bumblebee is back in play i'm going to keep it where it is because it's doing okay there's the bombs coming down to that one this has received a fair amount of damage we can see there's a lot of damage on that thing there this other one is i believe no longer in play it's a bit of a shame about them weapons that i dropped earlier they are going to lose their oh most of their suspendium has been taken out to fight almost all of their suspendium has now been taken out gonna move the bumblebee further back keeping an eye on this other vessel which is now out of ammunition which is a bit of a shame i could potentially go to aimed fire which i think i will do on the bumblebee and yeah i guess this thing is just going to have to move down to there and what i'll do is i'll just ground it and i'm going to target that vessel because it's the one that i'm most fearful of at this stage i like the way that there's just a suspendium chunk there um that doesn't sound too good and let's just ground the vessel let's see around the vessel just on this big suspendium rock floating away there and yeah that's not one that we made and let's say miss play on my part with the oh hang on is this coming towards us it is coming towards us as i said misplay on my part by uh dropping that when i did it might have been better to hold on to it but well it is what it is and moving this further back over looks like we are connected up to this thing here the other one i'm not too worried about because i just don't think it can get close enough like this i don't think yet i think that is it's i think that's its service ceiling speaking of service ceiling we're massively reducing the service ceiling of this one this vessel in fact we can see quite clearly inside it now there's a suspendium there's a spendium chamber should i sir we're running low on ammo and obviously this thing is destroyed which is a shame i guess technically i'll move this down i don't have to be very careful because this might just shoot up and start shooting me i want to get this destroyed i want to get it totally out of the air which shouldn't take too long a couple of well-placed harpoons will take it out that is now out of the fight it can no longer fly so that is pretty much classed as disabled all right let's get a bit closer we are running out of ammo i don't think i'm going to win for that reason the problem is supply what will happen because i don't think i can get back she's going to spin this round because for some reason it's trying to turn the other way volley will go out there it is oh they've got cannon still don't if you saw that they're firing a cannon let's flip it round another good volley there and that's the suspending chamber down there it goes it can't fly anymore right for the forward let's see if we can take this thing out now so whatever happens whatever happens we've done considerable damage to them this one at the back is on fire and pretty much death start itself let's focus on this other one now on this tower block the bruteless architecture is implied here come on 44 more surely we can destroy them i mean we're running along ammo yes indeed but they're running low on ships i don't want to flee because let's say supply this was a big gamble here that's pretty much destroyed there's the fire that i was hoping for and this isn't firing because it knows that that's no longer a valid target spin round though let's get some fire going there's gonna be an explosion we just need to take out the weapons and it's a vic and terry together brilliant okay that was very close indeed ship's repaired because we've conquered the port ships not repaired because they've retreated the grit fastness is disarmed grip hillary is disarmed and both of their ships have been destroyed the bumblebee survived sadly the other one did not combat statistics we have less than half deaths we have 43 accuracy so very low accuracy but i'm guessing a lot of that was to do with the grenade flinging thing uh damage dealt 14 000 as opposed to 9 000. yet overall that is a success so what are we gonna do so now that we have taken this over and it is a victory we now need to choose whether it's gonna be a gentle takeover a brutal takeover or we can just pillage it i'm going to go for the gentle take over a slaughter and general transfer of power so it takes five months to do with one devastation we have 20 unrest lingering free if we do brutal takeover it's only two weeks but with two devastation um ah okay but if we do that at least we'll have it captured sooner rather than later i don't really care about the devastation because everything's wrecked anywhere i'm gonna do brutal i am gonna do a brutal takeover which is not something i do likely um oh i can demand oh hang on so this guy is sore it says so desperate for peace that you can demand what i can demand this hmm i don't think i want to demand that one because that's this guy's territory however five view city i've got those two left i'm fairly confident the bumblebee can take care of that i'm fairly confident the bumblebee can take care of that are we repaired we are sufficient slight return i'm attacking it i don't see any reason why we can't attack this um a diplomatic offer from unkten is a defensive pact and you receive submission gaining three reputation and receive submission from the other empire gaining three repetition and losing them six and we'll be in a defensive pact um i could decline it and also what's really cool is you can counter offer so if you'd like the idea but you don't like the terms you can counter offer and do it i'm going to say no because i want to see what they do in terms of these two like i'm hoping they're get out there and start doing things but if we can take full ball here it's going to be a massive massive boost to us so apparently combat resolution is defeat for these two i don't agree we've seen it by lightning i now agree [Laughter] we are on to aimed fire um i'm getting closer because their rifles are obviously highly accurate actually i'm gonna go on a normal fire and i'm trying to get close to this if we do get hit then at least we will be able to sit on this rock actually i think this is so heavy i'll probably make that suspending rock drop so are we within range are we in an arc we are with an arc and we are within range so there we go some of the shots are targeting this one at the back i think i might just be a little bit too high so if i come further down because i really want to focus on one of them get one of them destroyed which the moment is this one at the front we're currently on a storm fires go out on their own beware of lightning and storm yeah beware of lightning it says twice have we been hit again beware of lightning where i'm getting damp right down just just drowned the ship pretty much i'm just gonna ground the ship for now we are slightly better at hopefully dealing with them and there are us accuracy is very poor let me put on aim fire fire less but hopefully more accurate good hits we are obviously getting hit as well if we go outside you can see we've taken taking some damage nothing to really write home about the problem is we don't have really the possibility of fire to deal with something and good grief that was a big explosion i'm sure we got hit by lightning again but a couple more of those strikes and certainly a couple more hits from them and we're not gonna have any i don't think we're gonna have any um [Music] any ship left we won't be able to fly they've got only how many weapons on the back i've only got a couple of weapons on the back it's probably best if i actually take back off and go over there over and around probably should have done that a while ago now we're doing the damage now the damage is going out oh hang on stop stop there because they've now got a few weapons on the front worth i think we're in a close range scenario here aren't we uh no target available is that a win that is a win and once again brutal take over foreign agents have fermented unrest in their own football oh okay um and filed a plot caused by unrest here as well our reputation has gone down a little bit because of their takeover bid they are now asking for a truce um well i know they want trees i might as well just take everything that they had i'm just going to go back here by the way because i want to kind of repair it i can anchor the ship and i can't repair it i mean i'm gonna have to go back there i need to repair it deny that and then we'll go and have a look at this one i'm gonna send a spy over to here then repair the vessel we have unrest as well i think we'll have what of unrest have we got oh 61 unrest yeah yeah should probably build a garrison at both of these locations yeah okay fair enough right i think we are going to leave it there that's been a bit of airships conquer the skies i actually conquer together this is the diplomacy update it has massively changed and indeed improved conquest mode we have [Music] a couple of bigger empires here [Music] toppington what a lovely name dyne call of others this guy's getting quite big catwick but they're paranoid assumes everyone is get them and they're stronger so i'm just hoping opening i'm hoping that they're not going to come towards us they're a piece with almost everybody oh they're one with toppington and it will with uh stinex but non-aggression with um here poor um that's a they're a contender they haven't done anything oh no they've taken their stuff back okay that's what i was hoping they would do so they still got two locations right next episode we will finish off repairing the bumblebee we will then attack this islet and hopefully have that fully conquered and because we are at non-aggression yep we're not aggression that means well hopefully one attackers because this guy could probably switch around as well similar strength we've sent a delegation so oh they've got a defensive pact as well with who with them interesting so i couldn't even attack them if wanted to this is what i mean about the diplomacy stuff lot more ins and outs a lot more stuff to deal with in a good way either way i hope you have enjoyed this episode as i said this is um the airships conquer the sky slash conquer together diplomacy update out and now as of the time recording links in the description this is not a sponsored video as i said i was allowed access to play this and yeah this video has come out when it's on sale so if you want to check it out then by means links
