    Default Introducing My LIVE First-Person RTW Videos With Commentary

    Hail brave warriors!
    I have purchased a microphone recently, and I have decided to change-up the style of my usual video replays by adding my own personal commentary. Not only have I added commentary, but I've also recorded the battle LIVE as I fought it. So now you can actually watch the battle exactly as I fought it (from the same exact point of view I had). You can see all of my clicks, command decisions, etc. In the world of Starcraft, they call these "VODs."

    So, let me know what you think: do you prefer my old video replays (recorded after the battle) or this new style of first-person battle replay with commentary?

    (by the way, the commentary track is out-of-sync for the first 3 battles. I corrected the problem after the 3rd battle)

    Looks nice, comments are good. Backdraw is that you don't have enough time to comment as much on formations and the like but it is a good addition to the vid.
    Did you use any upgrades on your units btw?

    Thanks, Alue! I find the video-making easier because it requires less writing

    Thanks Xavier. I hope you can make the next tourney. I know you're in Australia/New Zealand so I know it's really difficult waking up that early...

    Thank you, Lord Seli!

    - Regarding the comment about less time to comment on certain items, I could extend the audio feed and just talk about it for a few minutes (but everyone might leave if I did that)

    - Yes, I had some upgrades on my cavalry and archers. Not many though. BTW - I saw you come online earlier. I actually fought 2 Scythians back-to-back when I saw you come in. But I left immediately though because I immediately got to work on making my second Live First Person video (against one of those Scythian opponents)

    Hehe, it's not the waking up that's a problem. I'm a early bird and get up at about 5:30 every day. It's just the matter if I can get on the computer at that time that's the problem.

    In both the games your opponents had uniform units, might have been a wrong choice. Anyhow, seems like a balanced army is the way to go.
    And still going good with the comments!

    - Nah, you don't owe me any videos. But I do hope you get your Game Cam so you can start making some quality movies

    - Are you referring to the Hammer & Anvil tactics? If so, yeah, Alexander used that tactic quite often as did his Successors

    I enjoyed these, Prince. I like to think I'm a fine strategist when in comes to Roma Surrectum but I'm always up for new ideas.

    Looking forward to when you face an enemy with less homogenous forces.

    Thanks, man.

    If you want to see me just beating down good opponents, then you should watch my non-commentary videos. Here are a few (all online battles):

    Carthage vs Rome:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jiuHkxwubs


    Macedon vs Rome:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoLLLMgSAVg


    Carthage vs Macedon:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVFo7hE0jow

    The point of my commentary-battles is that I'm offering commentary. When I make my commentary battles, I have absolutely no idea what kind of skill level my opponents will have. But I make the video regardless. It's really all about the commentary

    I like the first person ones, myself. I don't have much online experience and being able to hear the logic behind all of your moves makes it a great learning experience. Great job Prince!
