    As someone who does this myself, I have just a bit of constructive criticism for you that you can totally disregard. Keep in mind that I mean zero offense here!

    -I would really recommend using something with a noise gate, either OBS or a third party program so that your breathing isn't noticeable while you're not talking.
    -Moreoever, keep talking! There are some really quiet segments in the video where you're doing some tactical manuevers, and I would've liked to hear your thoughts on them. Some of it is just simple "I'm gonna surround these guys," but hey, might as well say it anyway for the folks at home.

    Here's a link to one of my battles for reference: https://youtu.be/6epI2_5ve1s?list=PL...Xis_7k0j&t=488
    Not that I'm perfect here. Was still figuring out proper bitrates so some of the closeups are a bit blurry.

    Anyways, enjoyed the video, and best of luck mate!

    Thanks for the feed back mate. I tried OBS, but I couldn't figure it out even after watching a tonne of tutorials. Sadly I'm Australian and aren't really good with patience or reading instructions, so I just went for a program that worked pretty much straight away. I usually use FBX game recorder for my other LP's on my channel, but for some reason it doesn't like Rome 2, just recorded sound and no picture. So I ended up using Flash Back Express (same software company as FBX). But there are a tonne of customizable options in Flash Back, so I'll have a tinker and see what I can do.

    Oh my god yes DeI let's plays (especially from seasoned players that are familiar with it) is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

    edit: and thank you Sacurason for posting your channel too, now I have even more to check out!

    Yes, the learning process is easily the most difficult. I was fortunate enough to know a few people who also record, and checked out their setups. If you want, I'd be happy to share some screencaps of the settings I use! Check out the more recent vids in my Divide et Impera playlist if you want to know what kind of quality I'm getting...the one I linked you isn't as good as it is now.

    I stick with OBS almost purely for the noisegate/audio settings you can set up with it. Makes my life easy as I don't have to edit my audio anymore.

    Forgot to mention it, but you have a fantastic voice for recording, so keep it up!

    I have been trying to do some recording lately but have been having some issues with OBS when trying to record rome II. I'd appreciate being able to take a peak at your settings as my attempts have not had any success. Thanks.

    I would be really interested. What are those most recent videos you're talking about? I can see a Rome campaign from July 1st.

    One idea could be a thread in the gameplay subforum that keeps track of AAR and Lets Plays maybe?

    Hey! I went ahead and made a quick OBS tutorial video. Showed the settings first, but I also went through the basic process of setting up a scene/source as well as how to set up a noise gate. Only takes about 11 minutes so it's not too boring. Hopefully that helps you guys get started, but if you have questions feel free to message me here or even comment on the video and I'll answer as best I can. Would rather not hijack this thread much more(sorry DownUnder!)

    That's the series, yeah. I was still learning during the first few videos(still am, really). But here's a good example of me doing the settings correctly: https://youtu.be/YYtIHTCh5Ng?list=PL...G-eTWQXis_7k0j

    I'd definitely be interested in that! I don't think DeI really gets enough love on YouTube, and I really enjoy showing it off to people.

    Another subforum that 10% of people who would be interested in a thread, will actually visit it. I don't really understand this pidgeonholling when in fact the main page is baaaarely moving. We have like maximum 10 threads active per day, there's nothing to clean up.

    There's like 10 people active in 'strategy guides' subforum and 2 of those are local mods. It's better to keep a thread alive for exposure than put it somewhere noone will ever remember it.

    Not really aware of the meta here, since I just decided to start posting here today. Just makes since from a moderation perspective. I will have to look around and see if I have anything useful to add in strategy guides, though.

    I have to agree with this. It has happened with one of the other LP's I was posting here on TWC forums. It was getting tonnes of activity and the second the mods moved it, simply started gathering dust and cobwebs like everything else in that thread...

    Maybe you're watching another mod's main thread.

    Our main page is barely moving ? We have one of the most active main pages in the Forums buddy and every single day I'm cleaning all the mess to make it more readable-reachable for you. So a simple thank you will be better than describing it pidgeonholling.
    Every Thread needs to be organized according to Forum's standards and not according to personal preferences of a percentage of users. There are rules and we like our Thread to be organized as such. If someone can't ask a question, check an issue or click ον the appropriate thread, that's his problem not ours. Personally I would prefer a stricter posting and thread policy, since people usually just post anyrywhere without even checking the name of the thread, double,triple posting etc.

    If I add your Let's play in the main page, it will be buried after 2 days (max) under random questions and off topic threads and that's a 100% guarantee.

    I usually find that having a Lets Play thread stay in the main forums for a short time works for a bit. Then, it will get buried under all the other threads that end up spamming this area. So, while its active and going its fine to stay in the main forum but once it slows down its best to move it so that its archived and accessible.

    Just so this is on topic, OP you're a top quality role-player I mean Ivan would probably flip out seeing that army comp.

    But anyway back to the point, advertisement related threads should be regulated differently. OP should post a reply to his thread linking a new video (and also edit it into the his original post), thus bringing back the thread from depths of main forum and also avoiding having to move this thread into some obscure, weird subforum that noone ever goes.

    And yes, this is one of the most active forums in TWCenter, yet this forum is dead in comparison to any real forum activity. Which says a lot about TW player base/forum usage. I mean if you look at PI forums, now they get some real traffic.

    And after OP stops posting new videos this thread can die in peace having had its glory. IMO this is optimal solution to ad related thread lifespans. It's not as if any important information is lost. Well at most create a sticky where individuals can post their threads/videos and OP can edit them in a grandlist, but that's at most. An entire subforum is not needed this is not EU III. (all hail Ulm)
