    Icon10 Let's Play Macedonia

    Just started a new Let's play series, where I play as Macedon. Please follow me as I take on the Hellenic legue, along with rome and the succesor states, and who ever wants to challange me. As I reforge the Alexandrien Empire, and leave a legacy worthy of Alexandros himself.

    Don't forget to or depending on your sentiment. But how ever you feel please enjoy .

    Here follows epsode one...

    This is some advice I would like to put in

    1: Raise your volume level up a little.

    2: Make each part about 25-30 min long.

    3: If you can try avoiding saying uh too often.

    4: Change your option to manage all city by yourself, don't let AI do

    anything

    Thx for the feedback. But just so you know, usually the episodes are around 30-40 minutes, depending on the lengths of the battles. I made this one one hour since it's the first episode and all. Trying to be a nice guy and all

    I give you the second episode; "Battle for Illyria". In this episode Hypostratos marches his army west to drive the romans out of Illyria.

    Enjoy...

    Concerning the length of videos: I find ~20 minutes to be the best. Small snippets are easiest to watch and people will be more inclined to watch the whole thing through. That's still the length of most TV shows without all of the ads. Sometimes there are big battles that can take an hour or more to fight out, my advice is you devote an entire video to that rather than starting it halfway through a recording session.

    Other than that, keep it up! Can only get better from here! :

    Thx to both of you. Thank you for your advice High Fist. I will try to keep the videos shorter, my only problem at the moment is that I have already finished episode 3 and 4, I record in bulks; it's easierthat way. And both of those episodes are respectivly 40 and 50 minutes. I will try to give the bigger battles dedicated episodes, but at the moment my plays consist of 5-10 minute segments of campaign map manouvering between longer dedicated battles, but I will see what I can do.

    Also I think that I will slowly be shifting to a more defensive strategy once Apollonia and Thermos are conquerd. I think I will need catepults to be able to take Athens and Thebes without a fuzz, not to mention the militairial force I will need to take down the spartans...

    This brought me back to my Macedon campaign, very cool! I used Phillip V as my main conqueror early on though, he unified Greece and later got the Conqueror of Italy trait by expelling the Romans. I just can't bring myself to march on the barbarians though, they were a pain in my Sparta campaign.

    Thank you all for your feedback. That Dalmatien battle is probably my favorite so far, that and the Epirian one...

    Sorry about the great delay in episode releases, but due to both sickness (which is still having it's go on me mind you) and stuff and school I have been kept from my channel. But here it finally is:

    Episode 8, the siege of Salonae

    Enjoy
