**Morphine** · August 24, 2011, 05:42 AM

Opening post, August 24. 2011.
I redesigned my channel and start to uploading Shogun 2 commentaries. I deleted my highly ranked avatar and starting from beginning, will try to give tips for low level players.

This is what i am planning to do:

Record my progress from level 1 to level 10
Try to give you a few useful tips and help you ranking up
I will upload and comment other people replays to make some diversity and show different playing styles (you can send me your replays)

I hope you will like it and i will appreciate all your feedback.

Update, April 05. 2012.
Ho ho ho... Who is here? I am back guys. I had some private troubles last 14 days. Could not even touch the keyboard. I got Fall of the samurai since the first beta release and i have full version of course but still i cannot provide any new content for a few more days. Hope you don't mind me. I have some uploads which are not posted here, you can find them on my channel while you wait for my FOTS recordings. Thanks everyone! See you soon.

btw. i just can't wait to rank up my general, conquer Japan and spill some blood on the field

Videos you could find on my channel will will cover few types of recordings:

**************************************************
First of all, all my recordings will be available in High Definition quality with maximum resolution of 1920*1080 pixels but if you have slower connection you can view lower resolutions also

Just for a start i created few title categories:

► Shogun 2: "Rise of journeyman"
"Rise of journeyman" is a series of videos where i will show you development of my new avatar from level 1 to level 10. In every "Rise of journeyman" i will try to give tips which can help you to improve your game skills and show you my progress through the avatar conquest map.

I will show one of the fastest ways to get most basic retainers and units so after i select a region to conquest i will record the battle and will usually fight with higher level opponents. In every battle i will try not to repeat myself and always provide you with the new tips and strategies based on situation i get into.

► Shogun 2: live
These are battles recorded live, while playing (not the replays) so there will be much more dynamic than in classic replay battles. I will publish 1v1 and team live games. If game is played in teams i will point it up and publish a link to channels of other included players (it's a nice gesture and mutual support)

► Shogun 2
These are just plain replays of most interesting 1v1 and team battles. if game is played in teams i will point it up and publish a link to channels of other included players.

If you have few interesting replays to show the world please contact me and i will try to make a commentary and upload it

► Previous recordings:

August 24th
Shogun 2 - Rise of journeyman #1 (available in HD - 1920*1080 )
Jimi Hendrix, the journeyman, make his first step to become famous samurai and honorable general. But there are many long and hard days in front of him. He have no army, no retainers who follow him. He is alone with a group of peasants, his every day is a new struggle but also a step closer to fame and glory.

Shogun 2 live - Against low level cavalry spam (available in HD - 1920*1080 )
Rice Fields map
1v1 Morphine vs. daniel.lopez.capitales

My Latest video:
******************************
August 28.
Shogun 2 - Spector vs. VickyVicky15 (available in HD - 1920*1080 )
My friend Spector (perafilozof, perablenta) sent me few of his replays 2 days ago and i decided to record and upload this one but what is interesting is that he also uploaded this replay few hours ago so its totally accidentally and it would be interesting to see 2 different views on this. You can check his channel here. And look his commentary video of this same battle: here

**Morphine** · August 31, 2011, 05:17 PM

If you have interesting replays to show please upload them on one of free hosting sites like www.sendspace.com or contact me on my youtube channel.

Just saying thank you for your work on youtube: it really helped out my game. Most of the videos i found were for more advanced players, yours really gave me ropes for the noob i am. Now i always keep an eye on your vids but i also manage to understand more "developed" and particular tactics that before i really didnt catch. Big fan

Thanks for reply, i really appreciate all feedback from my viewers and will try to answer on all your questions. I am not at home currently but my next "Journeyman conquest" video is already prepared for upload and will be online in a next few days.

Rise of journeyman is video series where i try to show progress of my new avatar and give advices to other players. It is not a classic commentary video because it is much longer, contains slow motion scenes so i can easier explain things and actually help you learn something. It usually is contained of two parts, first one is explanation of my current state on conquest map where i talk about units and retainers. Second part of video is a battle replay where i try to talk about one topic and give you advices for the battle field

Already subbed,damn,keep them Coming

**Morphine** · September 16, 2011, 06:23 PM

My first commentary after more then a week. I didn't had enough time to play and most of matches i found was just stupid. This is one of those. I just hope new patch will make changes to multiplayer because what we see last months is only no brain "tactics" with no real strategy. I lost this battle but i upload it not because i want to help new players and improve community but because i wish to show you how stupid people can be.

Hi all !

Good to see you back Morphine !

I really like you and perablentas' journeyman videos.Would like to see more of this type of presentation.I think the struggle to get *there* is always more exciting then being *there*.

Well at least it makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one who gets crappy match ups.Is the reason why I havn't played in a week either.

If I even get a small urge to play Shogun 2,all I do is watch one of my random replays and that changes my mind pretty quick.

Replay from my friend Unicornattack. Great 1v1 battle on Caldera map with nice example of good positioning and cavalry use

should have camped in the water, negate the charge and form a noob box then shoot his cav while they try to run in the water.

**Morphine** · October 06, 2011, 01:27 PM

This was a very fast battle against warrior monk core. I see a lot of people are complaining about monk spam so i will try to record one match against it when i find time and a good match. This was just a short, 5 min. match to keep you entertained until my next recording. Enjoy!

**Morphine** · October 11, 2011, 07:20 AM

One of my worst matches. I had wrong army setup with no cavalry, bad positioning and beside that i played against great player. I congratulate to my opponent, it was a honorable loss to me
