Lewis enters the arena to smash some mechs together in an epic battle! ▬▬▬▬▬ Twitter: / angory_tom Patreon: / angorytom Twitch: / angorytom Reddit: / yogscast Merch: store.yogscast.com/collection...
He actually did have Anti air though... just not a lot of it. The phoenix (the fighter jet looking things) can shoot up. Against that many Wasps though (the little fly boys) its not nearly enough you need a large number of aerial units or AA to deal with them effectively, even a unit or two of fangs helps a lot.
@@vampuricknight1 That is more "can shoot air" than "anti-air" though. Also, the wasps were spawned with the Phoenixes as their first target. I think they shot maybe one? Personally, I would classify that as no anti-air :)
I think it’s because the game is so well balanced. I’ve not felt like anything is more or less powerful than anything else, and that lack of jank that’s inherent to most other games like this is just really refreshing.
@@yakobsoulstorm5187 Its good, fast paced strategy that focuses on positioning and countering while completely removing player skill and control to make sure the field is always level. Some people might dislike that kind of thing, but not having to worry about your opponent being a grandmaster tweaker with 160 APM, a macro kitty, or just a straight up bot or hacker so you can focus entirely on countering their build seems like a really solid design choice for the game.
@@coreylemon It doesn’t remove skill, it removes mechanical skill and emphasises strategic thinking. The flanking option is a great demonstration of this, since neither player wants a war on two fronts for themselves, but both want it for the other. It makes for a very interesting game if you know what units do what and how best to buff them.
@@yakobsoulstorm5187 You can argue that strategy is a skill, but he wasn't claiming it isn't. By 'skill' he clearly meant high APM and macro/micro skills specifically, which is a true statement. Overall, yes it is refreshing to see a game that's reasonably balanced and not plagued with RNG and exploitable jank.
I have just been so hyped for these Mechabellum Horse vids lately. These have been so fun to watch and they really showcase how cool this game actually is.
Love the first fight. Lewis LITERALLY explaining that, "You gotta counter the enemy to win". Tom LITERALLY giving Lewis the winning strategy, "flamers counter my crawlers". Lewis refusing to put down any AoE what so ever, refuses to counter Toms crawlers, loses. I wonder why xD - 17:30 oh look, countering works xD
That was such a great comeback for Lewis. The moment he unveiled the anti-air weakness in Tom's army was absolutely hilarious. I really love watching you guys play this game!
I dont know if I am more amazed by you making a horse game viable for this (even at the cost of lenght of the video), or by Lewis actually doing well, good job guys, all 3 of you!
wow what a great first game for Lewis. Fast learner. I would love to see another Yogs tournament of this game now that everyone is getting a hint for the strategies
These are great! Keep em coming! I've also been playing the butts out of this game. Wish Boba was in the office to record these! She'd make for some goofy and funny moments with games like this with Tom!
Lusty Argonian Maid joined your room. Lusty Argonian Maid left your toom. wat. Check the intro. I'll assume it's an expertly-placed easter egg by Tomothy himself. What a legend.
I’ve come the realization over the years that part of the interview process for the Yogs is “When playing a tactical game and your tactics aren’t working against your opponent, do you keep doing the same thing and ignore countering them? If so you are hired!”
Really enjoying these, but you should look into using solo - testing ground so that you can do proper wheel spins and everything. You can spawn in units, set hp to infinite, change incomes, basically anything you could want to do for a proper HORSE with many wheels.
Lewis not knowing counters is hilarious. Especially him thinking Melting points wasn't a "good plan" against Tom's op Fortress... even though that is an ideal counter.
the fight at 23:00 was one of the best rounds i have ever seen with the absolute worst ability usage imaginable, used a buff on his opponent a chad move but not a strong one and also lazered the shit out of his own tanks while doing minimal damage to the enemy not to mention he paid for both of them lol
I couldn't help but notice, Tom, but you haven't spent your tech points. There are some really cool things you can unlock with those for your units, I recommend you take a look at those.
Hackers when used right can turn the tide of a battle also they have a shiled to cover tropes But just "putting them down" never really works out for them you have to have a target in mind for them Edit like in that last battle taking one of those fortress would have been good for a hack8
I really like using the letters to mark combat victories rather than individual round victories :D maybe it would be worth swapping from HORSE to PIG if you want fewer letters to have to go through, though?
Tom being smug with his three flamey boys before Lewis pointed out he had no anti air was just the best
Why does it spell out HORSE?
Lewis had an anime protagonist moment
I love Tom, but the smugness they both had just then was so satisfying lol

Lewis always coming with his own Bams. He just can't help himself!
I dunno what it is but when lewis isn’t the “host” of the video he has a different vibe and I’m all for it
wheel boy trauma lives on
"Your Flaming Dragon style is formidable, but my Diving Swallow style will defeat it!"
- Lewis, match 4, presumably.
And this is _after_ Lewis attempted to drop the defensive photon coating _on the enemy army_ and incinerated his own frontline, all in the same round
31:53 watching the snipers emerge unscathed from the nuke looked so awesome
Shield can always block at least one hit, no matter how powerful. Only reason they lived :)
lewis seems to be a big fan of repeating a losing move a second time to see if it works then
To be fair, it did work with the sledgehammer's 😂
@@MrTuneslol Until someone brings in steel balls or a melting point and they all pop at once lol
"Hmmm, my crawlers are getting massacred by his arclights. Clearly, I'm not using *enough* crawlers!"
- Lewis
The sledgehammers weren't the problem, Lewis was just ignoring the flanking crawlers.
Gotta respect a man who sticks to his guns when his opponent is sticking to long range artillery.
A letter per match is honestly a great idea haha
RSE is my favourite letter of the alphabet
@@EvilLobsterKingit was a best of 5 hence on the fifth game it ended with a winner
@@Ste16ish yes, it was a best of five. But as a five letter word, HORSE suggests a best of nine.
"I don't need you're gentlemen's agreement not to build large boys. I'll do it on my own and you don't have to" Oh Lewlew
Mechahorseum is a series I'm very happy seeing coming in more often!
I don't know what it is about this game, but these Yoga matches are all _super_ satisfying.

i laughed at lewis BAM. Very good stuff.
I have a bout 20 hours in this game and I bought it because of that stream you guys did. No regrets this game is great.
Same here. Best impulse purchase on account of a CZcams vid I’ve made in awhile!
Ive gotten a few games based off of stuff they play and this is the one I keep coming back to
That Lewis comeback was amazing. Tom should’ve been scared
I have just been so hyped for these Mechabellum Horse vids lately. These have been so fun to watch and they really showcase how cool this game actually is.
Tom: Slapping Horse onto any game.
Me: Always watching with a bag of popcorn.
Comments section about to lose their minds over Tom doubling down on HORSE 😂
What about playing to BAM instead of horse?
Make this top comment!
Yeah but then you can't call each other Ho and Hor...
I love watching this game, its so entertaining as a watch only game
That's how I feel about most competitive/PvP games these days
Lewis sounds oddly like wheelboy
This game is great. Keep up the mechabellum content, literally can't get enough!
The vulcans vs sledgehammers round was such an anime comeback for Lewis with those wasps.
The fact this video goes for nearly 40 mins and it's horse with the new horse game makes me tip my hat to you my Angory Tom.
Please make this another forever game you play!! Hundreds of episodes would be awesome
Thank you Tom (and Lewis) for showing me this awesome game. I've played like 20 hrs of it this week.
Love the first fight. Lewis LITERALLY explaining that, "You gotta counter the enemy to win".
Tom LITERALLY giving Lewis the winning strategy, "flamers counter my crawlers".
Lewis refusing to put down any AoE what so ever, refuses to counter Toms crawlers, loses.

Tom: "Three Arclights will handle this."
Tom: *Buys more Overlords instead.*
I dont know if I am more amazed by you making a horse game viable for this (even at the cost of lenght of the video), or by Lewis actually doing well, good job guys, all 3 of you!
I love how Lewis always steals the bam, that's my favorite part of the Lewis/Tom duo
i am loving this game tom. i almost never watch full vods and had absolutely no problem watching the tournament.
Everyone so far is loving this game and I am all for it! MORE MECHABELLUM!!!
These Mechabellum videos are amazing. I could watch them all day.
Love these videos. Just won a couple of the mini tournaments. Would love to hop in and play some games against these guys. Yognaughts for life!
I’m absolutely adoring the mechabellum vids!
I always love seeing what the captions thinks Tom says at the start of the video...this one is 'Byron'
Ah the classic we have to be home before sundown version of horse
We need like a 100 more of these!
I love this series of horse. Keep it coming Tom
Been loving the return of HORSE and glad you found another good game that fits the format
WOW...I can't believe Lewis pulled it back. His first two losses were...rough...
Really enjoying the Mechabellum content
wow what a great first game for Lewis. Fast learner.
I would love to see another Yogs tournament of this game now that everyone is getting a hint for the strategies
These are great! Keep em coming! I've also been playing the butts out of this game.
Wish Boba was in the office to record these! She'd make for some goofy and funny moments with games like this with Tom!
Loving these!!!! The longer the better!
I laughed so hard at 26:48
26:35 awesome
Love this game. Would love to see more of it
Loving the mech content!!
Lusty Argonian Maid joined your room.
Lusty Argonian Maid left your toom.
wat. Check the intro.
I'll assume it's an expertly-placed easter egg by Tomothy himself. What a legend.

Very good displays for both
Lewis not knowing counters is hilarious. Especially him thinking Melting points wasn't a "good plan" against Tom's op Fortress... even though that is an ideal counter.
This is a better use of the HORSE mechanic
Damn that was a good video! more Mec mach-ups please!!
i just discovered the cinematic camera in mechabellum, it's pretty good.
the fight at 23:00 was one of the best rounds i have ever seen with the absolute worst ability usage imaginable, used a buff on his opponent a chad move but not a strong one and also lazered the shit out of his own tanks while doing minimal damage to the enemy not to mention he paid for both of them lol
Classic best-of-five horse. Also known as Hor.
Hackers in the right position are absolute game winner. They are my favorite unit.
Hooray! I love Tom, I love MechaBellum, and I love HORSE.
So this is just like Christmas for me.
Very fun game to watch. The strats!
Tom forgot to bring things that shoot up!
The next one should be against Pedguin!!
lol the lewis bam always gets me!
Anyone else notice that, just as they were loading the battlefield, it said "The Lusty Argonian Maid has left the lobby?"
A quick visit to polish some spears
will you get smith in as he's been playing it too and tom/smith is a great combo for as few times we've seen it
Lewis the master of doubling down lol
35:56 actually Lewis this is exactly what I expected from you, if anyone can pull it off it's you, especially when it's a nerd game
Love these
I couldn't help but notice, Tom, but you haven't spent your tech points. There are some really cool things you can unlock with those for your units, I recommend you take a look at those.
He's probaby trying to keep it fair
@@patton333 He probably just forgot. This is Tom we're talking about after all.
Tom forgot to use his photon emission ability and tank production item.
They're under uour pfp/healthbar
Glorious Horse
great episode! hoping for some 2v2s soon!
I wish the maps in this game had diffrent features like diffrent flanking positions, combat width. diffrent terrains
everyone mind there own business:
lewis: BAM
WOOOOOO!
lmao Lewis using photon coating on Tom's units....good lord this is some kids in a sandbox shit
Tom I finally beat slay the spire, I feel like a king🔥🔥
Hackers when used right can turn the tide of a battle also they have a shiled to cover tropes
But just "putting them down" never really works out for them you have to have a target in mind for them
Edit like in that last battle taking one of those fortress would have been good for a hack8
Hackers are amazing against rhinos or any heavily upgraded unit, especially regenerating ones.
I really like using the letters to mark combat victories rather than individual round victories :D maybe it would be worth swapping from HORSE to PIG if you want fewer letters to have to go through, though?
Wow, great video
My money is on he horse! Poor Lewis though :x
Me doing a double take when Tom and Lewis start saying my username 😮
So, wait, this game is TABS but in space and mechs and with proper PVP with shop and upgrade mechanics? Nice.
Love Lewis losing and just doubling down on the losing strategy
Title should be Old man looses Mechabellum
is this the new
TABS!
Not Mecha-Ben-um, but I'll take it.
Seems like a fun game. I wish it were available on Mac. :(
Im loving these videos but the whose POV indicator is so hard to read. For future edits is there a better way to show which team we are looking at?
BAM
Hell yes
*Bam!*
I think Tom would have done better with upgrading the mustangs to the anti-air buff in a few matches.
When are you playing that futuristic horror game that’s apart of the series with Simon quite excited for that!!
Shields hang around so long as they aren't destroyed
MORE MEGA BELL END!!!
idk if this was recorded before or after but they did buff the Hacker and its much much better now
since im on and off paying attention to the video since i usually do work while listening, i get confused on whos who whenver it switches perspective
Bam
