"Dorfromantik" is one of those German words that have a deeper meaning. It's more of a feeling, the feeling of a small village, which is like the opposite of the pressure you could feel when growing up in a big city. Greetings from fellow German Engineer :D
Dorf = village (cognate with English "thorp(e)" and Dutch "dorp"; German consonant shift p -> f, also th -> d along with Dutch) Romantik = romanticism (or romance; in this context it's the bliss you feel in/of an idyl(l) or paradise)
the triangle is more of a grater than sign meaning that the quest requires exactly that many items to be added. once you meet that goal you can then expand on it for other quests.
To clarify: the quest completes as usual, and when it does, the triangle causes a flag to be added to the area. If you then close off the area, you will get Additional points (and probably tiles. Can't quite recall) over and above the normal quest reward.
The boat stations are actually a mix - they can be used for train tracks as well. And the flags mean that you get bonus for closing off the flagged group :P
Came here to say that. The edges it shades are the ones that need capping to close off an area so that feature can't be extended further. Like with Knobwood Forrest.
Bought this game after you last video. Most relaxing game I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing :D Edit: The flags found in sections indicate that you need to close off expansion (make it so you can't connect like tiles) for a reward.
Maybe you've figured these things out but challenges count items on a tile, so that field was actually +2 not +1. Forests count trees and towns count houses. The flags are from changes that have the triangle in the corner. The flag are an additional challenge where you have to completely close off that section (field/forest/town) and the highlighted edges are what's left to be closed. And [spoiler] the highlighted tiles in the middle of nowhere are challenge tiles that reward you with the kinds of challenges you see in the top right corner of your screen. [/spoiler]
So I picked this game up after your last vid and I have been having a tone of fun. Some things I learned, if you haven't figured them out already is that every time you get a 'perfect' tile, when every edge is matched to it's adjacent tile, then you get an extra tile added to your stack. Some challenges create those flags and are indicated by the little triangle on the challenge bubble. Then you fully enclose an area with a flag then you get extra score and more tiles. So you want to try and make lots of perfect tiles and close areas with flags whenever possible. Thanks for showing this game to me, keep up the great content!
Flags indicate that this area wants to be 'cut off', the coloured edges tell you where it's 'open' - it gives you points and some tiles, it's good for when you are running out of hexagons but have open flagged areas you can close quickly. It's generally a good idea to keep 2 to 3 open sides so you can act quickly if you need to.
I knew you could do it! The only UNgeneer to find a way to put shafts and balls on every game! Congrats, mate! Really proud of you. Now grab a cup of coffee and celebrate! Cheers!
Please read this! I love your content and the way you make videos. I was one of your first 50 subscribers and I subscribed on the video before the polybridge tensigrity video. Keep up man.
RCE, thanks for doing this game. My wife and I got it after your first video, and we've been loving it. She's been needing a nice calm game like this, so thank you.
You're voice is so calming, today is the first day i saw your channel. When i started i thought your already so calming and i love the eco-freindly games you play. and you love to build.
if you match each side of a Hexagon with the element that is on it (house to house, field to field, etc) you get a perfect score. each perfect also gives you a additional tile. just saying that way you can reach way longer games :)
The flag is a quest to close of a field or town, so that nothing can be added to it and also gives you more tiles. Basically, if you don't have quest, look for flags and if you don't have flags try to make your existing stuff more accesable, this is my current strategy, which usually gives me 9000-11000 score
flags mean you need to cap off the area to get more tiles.. : ) hovering over highlights all the open tiles that need capping off.. ( I hope this makes sense.. )
Just so you know, the flags appear when you complete one of the objectives. Also a quick side tip: the tower with water around it can have both tracks AND river tiles directed into it, this will plus one point to any track or water objective you have.
I saw this in my steam que and you were playing it, my headset broke, I recently lost my school earphones and my computer diesnt have speakers, so I pulled up my phone to watch it
"You thought it was a dwarf dating sim?! Oh, _Dwarf_ Romantik." To be fair, the Dwarf Fortress community has used the term "dorf" to refer to the bearded bois since forever, so that's probably where the confusion comes from...
@6:28 I love Carcassonne but I’m terrible at the game. I’m really bad at games that require short term strategy/tactical thinking. Usually I just rely heavily on farming and hope for the best 😂

"woulda thought a knob forest could make me so happy?". Anyone who watches this channel
We know.
It looks like a di##
@@homiescool2627 I’m pretty sure that’s what a knob means
Let’s never forget the knob forest.
The railroad can go through the boat station in case you want to know. The name of the tile is Water-Train Station.
Probably one oft the most useful tiles tbh since you can get rid of some nasty water + rail combinations
“Who would’ve thought a nob forest would make me so happy?”
Everyone. Everyone thought that.
everybody gangsta until someone made a clip of the knob forest
I vote we call it Morning Woods.
@@Freezezonian which contain lots of nuts
You RickRoller
Note: Quests with triangles on their bubbles mean you have to close off the area to get additional tiles.
the triangle is more of a grater than sign meaning that the quest requires exactly that many items to be added. once you meet that goal you can then expand on it for other quests.
Actually those quests leave a flag in the area when completed that disappears to give an extra 5 tiles if the area is closed off
To clarify: the quest completes as usual, and when it does, the triangle causes a flag to be added to the area. If you then close off the area, you will get Additional points (and probably tiles. Can't quite recall) over and above the normal quest reward.
@@Nurd_Boi Yeah sorry that's what I meant Im just gonna edit my comment.
@@BrickZero Actually that's when you have a single number with plus sign.
The boat stations are actually a mix - they can be used for train tracks as well.
And the flags mean that you get bonus for closing off the flagged group :P
FYI if there's a flag in an area it wants the area to be capped off, doing so will grant 5 tiles and 50 points per flag
Came here to say that. The edges it shades are the ones that need capping to close off an area so that feature can't be extended further. Like with Knobwood Forrest.
@@maxximumb yes the best forest to ever exist,
Bought this game after you last video. Most relaxing game I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing :D

I just wish I could play it on my phone
@@TomcribbLemon 3 here

Could try Townscaper for similar relaxing gameplay

Technically, hex are just 6 equilateral triangles stick together so a shape made of the best shapes is ofc superior...
@@cryodelta did. you watch CPG Grey’s Video? The Triangels want to be hexagons
@@ixopuxiri8058 no i didn't but i agree
Honestly, hexahedrons are the bestahedrons.
There'd definitely be folk stories (old creepypastas) about the unexplainable wheat field in the middle of a forest
You can connect railway to water station and use it as bridge over river.
10:40 tip of the knob forest would have been a perfect spot for it
The villages you can create with these tiles always look so stunning. Absolutely adorable game and very calming
15:29 when you see a flag, it wants you to close of the area and you will get new tiles & points I think
"Ohh we can give this house a little friend!!" ...This gave me Bob Ross vibes, thank you
Plebeians: Futility use the tiles to try to control the design of the map.
Patricians: Allow optimal tile placement to dictate the shape of the map.

Well that video ended too soon. Can't wait for the next part. (please do a part 2 to this one)
Tuesday! 👍
"Hexagons are the bestagons"
*waves at a fellow Tim*
You actually also get one new card for every perfect you get.
RCE: How about we make a knob forest
Everyone who’s seen his videos before: Sounds about normal

😅👍

The Water Train Station can be used to link railways as well
The flags highlight adjacent pieces that when you cap off give you extra points
Flags indicate that this area wants to be 'cut off', the coloured edges tell you where it's 'open' - it gives you points and some tiles, it's good for when you are running out of hexagons but have open flagged areas you can close quickly. It's generally a good idea to keep 2 to 3 open sides so you can act quickly if you need to.

Awesome, thanks og
The water station can have railroad tiles intersecting it, you can have it as a sort of crossroads for your river system and rail line.
With the water station, (10:45) it connects to both train track and water, meaning it can close off both a train track and a river
The water building is a link
From train track to river ! Just so you know !
RCE, thanks for doing this game. My wife and I got it after your first video, and we've been loving it. She's been needing a nice calm game like this, so thank you.
Glad to hear it mate!

I would say that the most enjoyment I get when watching your videos is when you play this game
You're gonna have a good Tuesday then!

5:05 remember this when clips on youtube come out. It's amazing out of context
12:10
"Knobbingham Forest"
Best name that could ever possibly exist.
Once, I got so many water tiles, I made a lake with probably around 15 of the pond tiles
You can connect trains to the water stations on all sides for more points.
You can run but you can’t hide from the Knob Monster. Haha. He takes many forms. Bridges, towns, trees
Another great video. As expected
11:00 "I got all the trees coming now"- Real Civil engineer
Highlighted tiles is extra mission to fulfill.
Congrats on 200k!!!!🎉🎉🎉
What are your thoughts upon the Hexagon?
Hexagon is MUCH better than Pentagon
flags mean you need to cap off the area to get more tiles.. : ) hovering over highlights all the open tiles that need capping off.. ( I hope this makes sense.. )
I could watch this game for days.
This game is so addicting and fun! I cant seem to beat my high score of 12900 though.
That's a good score!
A CGP Grey reference in the wild, amazing.
Just so you know, the flags appear when you complete one of the objectives. Also a quick side tip: the tower with water around it can have both tracks AND river tiles directed into it, this will plus one point to any track or water objective you have.
I actually really enjoy watching you play this game, I need to catch a stream if you do one in the future!
This devolved into chaos very quickly
Congratulations Matt for 200K subscribers!
Cheers!
7:54 I was screaming “Noooooo” 🤯😱
It's alright, I enjoy a good knob, myself. Hats off for the dedication. A good one, it was.
The water station tile works as both a railway piece and as a river piece just fyi. :)
"I really cocked up that spot!" So, success? 🤔
Yea, I was rather disappointed with the lack of dwarves
10:38 HE SAID IT! HE SAID IT! HEXAGONS ARE THE BESTAGONS
I’m loving your videos, I’m just binge watching them at this point
Hexagons **are** the bestagons!!!!!! (Therefore the best shape)
You should try townscaper.
Sadly it's very possible that he's gonna Gate bullet chess =
It's on the list already!
I love the nob Forrest - The Real ‘Sarah’ Engineer
5:09 Oh... okay then, was not expecting that.
please don't stop playing this game
I got one more vid on it lined up for Tuesday!

Glad you enjoyed slay
I instantly bought the game after you uploadend, it’s one of the best games ever!
Ty sooooo much!

@6:28 I love Carcassonne but I’m terrible at the game. I’m really bad at games that require short term strategy/tactical thinking. Usually I just rely heavily on farming and hope for the best 😂
That farm placement gives me T90 farms flashbacks.
I bought this game, and first time playing I lost 7 hours. In total I spent 25 hours playing this game this week
Not bad for 7 quid right!

"Peace, love, and knob forests"
Flags mean this "area" is still part of a challenge isn't finished making potential points.
A multiplayer update would be really cool
RCE: I love nob.
Everyone: We know
The "noob" category in the thumbnail should ve called "architect"

Wow, second video i watched from your chanel. I really like this series.
That username 🤣
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming thanks man
Me: starts taping something
RCE: 7:08
I'm glad to see more of this game, and another of your videos
They should have a creative mode and you have infinite tiles (Unless they already have that).
The station can connect railroad to river.
I downloaded this after your first video and clocked up about 8 continuous hours of gameplay that night… work sucked the next day.
My bad? 😅
