Interest in a mp LP video?

[tommynt]

There is a section on these forums with lot of "Learning Play" Videos.
I latly try to teach people a bit to increase general level of players.

More efficent way d proly be a Video or guides.

So is there some interest in such stuff?

if yes:
How d u like to have it presented?
A frapsed Video with comments?
A how to play usually guide?
A guide with ss from some game, how it went and why?

settings?
ffa? (well there are different "styles")
duel?
era?

Generaly there seem to be some "accepted" best strats for most settings.
I can see that as usually my (good) opponents ll play kind of same (or just play another strat but same as I d do it).
Just wonder if the "not so good ones" might be interested.
If u r pro allready I guess I wont be able to give HUGE tricks.

Generaly its small stuff giving me upper hand in the end in games, like balancing war and eco.
Like survive 1. wave of opponent attack while still building up and striking back with a all out if sure it will kill

Tommy,


I like your new openness to teaching and character. I would be interested in seeing a video of you playing, maybe I pick up something.

Cheers.

We have done this in the past with the great Civ4 clan games, using FRAPS to capture the video and up loading it to a streaming service. I would love to see this again for the Civ5 crowd. Now we have even more tools like Ustream and Youtube to help us.

Links to justinTV are something I've been looking for. Some nice duels in MP.

Unfortunately most of players there are quite nooby. (at least those I'm watching as. opponents are usually more decent) These russians make strange decisions, cant fight and play as if they havent heard anything about click fest and double turns.

Maybe I was unlucky that I watched "wrong" videos, but they are not even high-mid level players (though they pretend to be, cause most of civ players are SP only and thereby even worse).

Civ is very tactical game, where EVERY your choice matters. So, its very interesting to watch a game where 2 players actually think through every action. And of course with comments on each of them (audio and/or subs).


We have justinTV with high quality and suited for lenghly videos. What we need is 2 decent players and comments (even subs will do). Better than this can be only if both players make their videos on the same match, so that you can compare what were both of them planning to do, what they actually did, etc, but that's probably harder to do.

Such videos will reveal true essence of MP and some of its problems: best units/wonders/policies/etc, role of click-fest, crashes/freezes and so on...

Guess I ll see if and how i can gets fraps to work and play vs djmax or so - he wanted play anyway.

And about the justintv games:
The russians and mgt played civ4 aswell and well godman was quite nooby there and if mgt would feel to be able to play at high lvl he d ask me to play.
We had loads of duels both in civ4 (I really had upper hand there even when he dont like commit) and civ5 (he had early upper hand with playing 24/7 in opening weeks)
