Oh, and no commentaries, no time, no time.

[G3NUINE chief]

Epic checking them out now.

[Amazing Horse]

Neat stuff. I hope I don't get creamed tomorrow in my battles.

[Zane]

You're killing me. I was just about to get to bed and now I have to watch these first!

Thanks

[CivFan]

+rep for quick uploading.

[AlfonsoVIII]

Why did your foe camp during the first few battles?

[Feldspar]

I would like to say this..

Nice Quality Broski... no fuzzy crap for this guy!

Hmmm, I have bad news and good news.
Bad news is that my MP somehow got seriously messed up... the game won't register my games as finished, so I'm a "dishonorable coward" because I have 90% unfinished games, plus I don't gain rank
Good news is I'm getting a personal treatment about this: CA immediately responded to my post on the official forum, so I should be back behind the wheel soon.

On an unrelated note: try a siege, I find them to be great fun.
They turn out really intense, defender only gets half funds...

They figured out you're not the real Takeda Shingen. Now you must charge Nobunaga's parapets to die with honor!

[GenWolfe]

Awesome man... Really enjoy your videos.

Great work as always!

Are these the avergae lengths of battles?
5 minutes? Seriously?
I LOVE my 30-40 minute Napoleon battles which all come down to strategy NOT whoever can do the most APM

Yeah yeah as if it's either or. I assure you it's still strategy first, you just have to decide on it faster.
Also, most of the time of the 30-40 NTW battles are spent a) avoiding each others fire or b) shelling each other with artillery.
I really like the short battles in S2.

Also, I guess it's a great part because I just go and attack, I'm sure you can play longer battles with more reluctant people.

More vids up now because a bug basically prevents me from playing online and I got frustrated losing a Legendary difficulty campaign

OP updated.

[Hunor]

great vids! thx for sharing+rep!

One qestion:
If u attack with few units the nearby area / which is empty from the other player /
then the programm generated the enemy army with controll the AI - like in custom battle?

[Oxus]

This might be a silly question, but how did you set your camera so that you can zoom that far out?

I'm not sure I understand the question right. What area? Do you mean in campaign? Haven't played that too much yet.

It's the Debug Camera.

[hajimemasite]

OMG THE FASTEST COW!

gonna check it out until my copy comes XD

[Hunor]

uhmm, yes i mean multiplayer campaign./ as i see in "multiplayer walkthrough " video /
also u playing simple 1v1 on selected MP map?/then why u play with so few units?/
-and sorry my bad english for sure.

[daniu]

Haven't played MP campaign yet.
And no, I don't play on a selected map, I play matchmade battles in all the vids except the first; in those, you don't get to chose the map or funds. Funds are chosen by the avatar levels I think, so the battles get bigger as you level up.
