Youtube Let's Play as Wissenland (The Land Of Knowledge) !

**Apocalyptic Knight** · September 19, 2014, 02:00 AM

Hey guys! I'm new to this forum and wanted to let you know that I have started a Let's Play as Wissenland and I'm really excited about how it is going! You can check the progress if you want on my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_3ZxpQx2mE

If there are some very experienced players in this game, I'm always looking for battle tactics as well as game map strategies, so please let me know in the comments!

By the way I'm really digging this forum!

Nice stuff

**Malistrae** · September 19, 2014, 03:10 PM

I concur, this looks interesting. I will watch the other episodes when I have time. It is nice that CoW awareness can be raised this way. Keep up the good work!

**Apocalyptic Knight** · September 19, 2014, 04:07 PM

Yes, it is very nice, just today I ran into a wall. The notorious "Sigmar preserve us" error struck, and my campaign is corrupted. I still have recorded material for another 5 videos or so, but unless someone can give me a hand and tell me how to fix that, the campaign will have to stop before its time soon... It is an incredible mod and that is what makes this error so terrible...

By the way I did take a look at the forums, even tried a few things, but nothing seems to work for me or for the others. Please let me know only if you have fixed it yourselves and can tell me what to do to fix it also! Thanks in advance!

If your using Gigs version, best bet is to just report it to the easy and painfree installation thread, or at techincal help section of this forum. Most important thing is to attach the log, without it there really is no way of knowing what causes the crash.

General = Due to a drain on resources the error log has been set to 'error' - the lowest setting. To find errors that are not obvious in the 'error' log, kindly set your log to 'trace' and then compress and attach the error log after a crash.
Finding the log = it will be in the ...\Medieval II Total War\logs folder
Setting the log to trace = open Configuration.cfg (in the Rage_of_dark_Gods main folder) with Notepad. In the [log] section, remove the hash ( # ) in front of the trace line and add a hash in front of the error line, save. The log will become rather big, but compressing will reduce it to approximately 5-10% of it's original size.
Please provide details what happens, when it happens and which version (see selection screen, 'Gig version') you are running

I saw video and he does not have Gigs version.
Try installing Gigs version and try again maybe its more stable.

**Apocalyptic Knight** · September 20, 2014, 02:01 AM

Okay, I will do that guys, thanks for the help! I will probably need to replay everything until the point I am, or can I keep the savegames?

**WhiffOfGrapeshot** · September 20, 2014, 03:12 AM

Not savegame compatible, unfortunately.

**Apocalyptic Knight** · September 20, 2014, 05:14 AM

Ah blimey! Oh well, I will try to repeat the same steps and get to the same point then. Continuing this series of Wissenland Let's Play is the least I can do to repay you for your help guys!

By the way I might drop a line about the website in the commentary, thanks to your help. Hopefully the new version will work out well and we will all be able to enjoy it together.

I watched couple episodes, it's good stuff Apocalyptic Knight.

I do have thing to give feedback tought, pause less. The flow is just better, instant pausing is a bit jarring, and it creates more hektic battles for the viewers in the end. The battles pacing is already quite long in CoW. I learned away from pausing at M2, it makes the game a bit more challenging, and rewarding for the player too imo. But then again, I re-learned the bad habit again with Rome2, but it has a bit more urgency and mutitasking (Thanks to pretty good battle AI), and faster battles, than M2 does. But again, I think viewers point of view, no/less pausing would make videos more enjoyable.

Also regarding those spawning enemies when you siege, that is spawn script. Very common in mods for M2, it is there to help the AI, which does bad job of defending its settlements. Not all settlements have it I think, and it triggers only once.

**Apocalyptic Knight** · September 21, 2014, 05:27 PM

Thanks, all feedback is appreciated.

As I explain in the commentary, I need to pause in CoW, exactly because it is a very difficult mod and every battle counts. I will, however, try to reduce the pausing as much as possible, since of course what you say is reasonable. Hope you enjoy the battles nevertheless, at least this way I don't make too many tactical mistakes.

As for the spawning enemies, well, let them spawn. They'll wish they didn't!

I am a big fan of victory through adversity in gameplay, so expect me to do many foolhardy things (such as attack superior armies or send campaigns in the heart of the enemy lands). However, not pausing at all in this particular mod would be too foolhardy even for me.

**Vette** · September 21, 2014, 07:53 PM

Nice videos.Also you might be the only person on Youtube atm making COW videos.
Keap up

!

**Apocalyptic Knight** · September 22, 2014, 02:15 AM

Will do, since I absolutely love the setting, the atmosphere and the challenge of the CoW games. I might complain a bit when hordes of enemies march through my lands one after the other but hey, this is what makes it what it is!

**Kahvipannu** · September 22, 2014, 04:14 AM

Yeah, I didn't come out as "Do this way, becouse I say so", I'm strong believer of play the games as you like, what modding is all about. But even pausing a bit less, making compromise to improve the flow, would make wonders for the viewers I think. Or maybe it is just me.

Will be checking your new campaign.

**Apocalyptic Knight** · May 20, 2015, 11:32 PM

Update: The campaign came to a halt when the savegame became corrupted, and I, since then, deleted the campaign and made a new youtube channel dedicated only to gaming (because the main Apocalyptic Knights channel also deals with other things such as real life swordfighting and axefighting).

In the new channel I have started a Let's Play with Talabecland. For those of you who are interested, the link is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aogtepLV_EQ

**Vette** · May 21, 2015, 10:47 AM

Cool hope you will have luck with stability of the game this time.
I would also sugest if you start new campaign to download and install Gigantuses version.Its far more stable then CoW and will benifit you to have less crashes if any...

**Apocalyptic Knight** · May 21, 2015, 11:58 PM

If it crashes I might, but so far so good, and I have my hopes up this time! Hey, maybe I'll win the campaign before it can even crash, how about that? :-)

**Apocalyptic Knight** · June 05, 2015, 03:49 AM

Reached episode 34 and still running, this campaign is going exceptionally well with an awful lot of different grand strategies and tactics being used, so far to a great effect!
