Let's Play: Labrynna Regieme

[TheHylianJuggalo]

My first jump into the LP world. Quality is a bit mussy and my mic needs fixing, but otherwise, this is just to show support for this epic mod. Surreal, pick the factions you want to do now, because I'm going after the ones you haven't done.

[Emrys]

Good stuff man!

Edit: After watching I can see this is going to be quite a nice series. My only critique is the video quality but you already mentioned that...

[darkterren]

good job man keep cant wait for the next episode.
also u can have crossbowman within 3 turns of starting if u build blacksmith then barracks

[TheHylianJuggalo]

Thanks for the info about the crossbows.

Part 2 is up. Picks up where we left off.

[darkterren]

no problem i love the labrynna regieme but its keeps crashing on me after a point cant figure it out tryed 3 different games so u game might crash after a few turns wish u luck

I would say sending in cannon fodder assisted by your better melee soldiers would benefit you more. As I see it:
1) Your guys get bottle necked in the entrance so they flinch more often and suffer more casualties from side attacks.
2)As they are sent back time after time they become exhausted, reducing their effectiveness.
3) A larger force is more likely to cause your enemies to rout faster.

For my army i normally run 4 normal inf 3 crossbow 1or 2 cannon fodder.
The homegaurd are actually halbert users i think instead of spear no bonus to fighting cav.
When attacking a settlement if u look on the sides at the walls you can find places that have blind spots that the towers cant hit your units this will save you men.
Also keep up the good work

a tip, when you click the assault button while sieging a city, you can click withdraw, and it will just maintain siege, and good videos.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Dem crabs man...

[Youital]

This is probably the funniest thing I have ever watched

[GoldenGohma]

Well. I assume you're using Fraps as well?

Meh, maybe I will use fraps. . . sigh. I've wanted to jump on the LP bandwagon for a while, but never quite got into it. Maybe I'll start with a Wizzrobe Campaign or something.

When I get H:TW working again.

[Windrider37]

Golden Gohma, if you want Fraps, let me know and I'll give you my Skype.I have my friends old copy you can use if you dont have it

Very Nice Lets Play btw! The only Hindering aspect of Labrynna was lack of Diplomat.I managed to get several diplomat when Tokay came to me offering an alliance, and i got their diplomats(Which were only 2)
So theres a tip for ya! if tokay or someone wanst to trade or something, try your hardest to get an alliance.

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind, as for now I've actually gotten off my lazy --- and started looking for software myself. Additionally, I assume I will need a better head set. . . maybe. I'll have to listen to my current mic's recording, and see how that sounds before I do some videos.

Anyways, in regards to the campaign. Please excuse me for not having the time to watch the videos- I've been busy, so you may have already done some of this.

Yes, do take advantage of the Tokay, both as mercs and as a vassal kingdom, which requires you to let THEIR diplomats come up to you. If you're ever worried about them moving out from their small city, a fort placed right where the two smaller islands connect, without being on Tokay lands (so you don't damage relations at the same time), will at least force them to have to go through you to leave the island. Hopefully, you can keep them there until they join you.

As for units, don't count out your spearmen who have the wooden spike ability. Enough wooden spikes spread out well or concentrated correctly can help force the enemy into a choke hold. Additionally, if fighting breaks out and enemy units begin to pass through the spikes they may become "funneled" and you can eliminate a numerical advantage even in the open. Alternatively, gunner units could be placed behind the spikes while you move the pioneers to their flanks. The spikes should provide some cover, without forcing your gunners to shoot their own men in the back.

I personally haven't seen the factory do. . . anything. All my construction projects take the same amount of time and I can't build multiple buildings at once with it-I even made sure by building it before any other buildings. Zilch, nothing, nadda. Maybe it's just currently bugged?

Additionally, don't forget that all missile units can hurt your own units if they're in the way-for gunners and cannons, this is generally a straight line between the target and attacker. However, with crossbows and spears this applies if the target unit and one of your units are in close combat-I personally lost a general to my own hail of crossbow bolts.

Admittedly, I maybe shouldn't have been screwing around with unit production/cost and had so many more border guards than useful melee units. Heh.

[TheHylianJuggalo]

Will have to postpone future episodes for a week or so. I've got only about 70 gigs or so on my hard drive, and every time I use fraps for an hour, I nearly run out. I'll have to wait till next month (till I get paid) to get an external.

[TheHylianJuggalo]

Part 4 is now up and Labrynna is ready to rock.

[Youital]

Mic is indeed much better nice vid

[HerofTime]

Now that your back in action, do you have any plan of how often you will update? Every few days or something?

[TheHylianJuggalo]

It's honestly a deal of 'whenever' what with classes. I hope to get one in every week or so, since these will be unedited in the slightest (so long as it's not like, a forced repeat, game crash, etc)
