New Let's Play/Tutorial on Emporer using 10144 SVN

[IdioticUlt1mara]

After my most recent playthrough - as Pachacuti - I thought I should try and do a sort of tutorial for C2C, at least the start of the game anyways.

This will include, maybe a 1 hour video explaining how to configure the custom game options and such to start with then another hour maybe explaining the in-game options that can be changed to alter gameplay.

Other than that I will try to reduce the video lengths to 30 minutes - this wont be a 100% tutorial as I am not very good with pre-prepared stuff

Thanks for doing this @IdioticUlt1mara!

Do mention that players should attack and subdue the highest number of animals in prehistoric times, usually done after trackers are made available.

The impact the additional myths give in/turn rates are astonishing and are nothing short of an actual neolithic revolution.

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

Do not worry @KaTiON_PT this is something I will re-enforce almost every episode until after writing

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

Just so everyone is aware. I will be uploading these videos tonite. They should be scheduled for release at about 1200 GMT+1 tomorrow 22nd August 2018

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

The first 3 videos are up on youtube. I will put a link to each video and the Playlist on the OP. I will put links to each video just incase someone wants to see specific sections.

If anyone is willing, I would love for some feedback. Things like, should I make the videos shorter and about 1 thing? Should I keep to making each video about multiple things and explain them in depth and keep the vids at 30 mins etc

All comments are appreciated and i will try my upmost to alter my tutorials in accordance to what everyone thinks is best

 

[KaTiON_PT]

Can't see the third one up yet.

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

Can't see the third one up yet.

Yeah after posting this I realised it was not up yet - my bad it is up tomorrow woopsies

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

I will release the next 3 episodes next week. Hopefully I can get some feedback before then

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

Starting another livestream for the tutorial thingy now

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

I m actually finding it hard now to explain any concepts now that I have hunting/subdue animals episode finished? Any suggestions?

Properties always throw new players for a loop.

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

Properties always throw new players for a loop.

Thanks I ended up making an entire 20 minute episode discussing the properties of cities and how to manage them etc

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

We have also discussed in twitch chat that I will be doing 5 turns on screen/recording and 45 turns off-screen. Each time I record I will explain what I am planning to do and what I have done - what changes I had to make from what I was planning.

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

About to livestream some more of this tutorial/let's play

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

OP is now updated to include up to episode 7

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

Final Session with this tutorial until I find out anything new things to do in a tutorial

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

Doing my next episode - which will be on how to download & Install C2C and how to Update via SVN In about 15-20 minutes

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

Video is done and already up here @

I would greatly appreciate any feedback so that if I need to change anything that may be wrong I would gladly change it

Is the download speed from modDB higher than the SVN download speed?
A neat way to hasten the process if that's the case, but the SVN "clean up" function should be used after the checkout in this case..

Anyhow, I would think the tutorial would be briefer and more concrete if it avoided modDB and only contained:
1. Download and install SVN software.
2. decide which folder you want your C2C SVN copy to be located. (Could be within "CivIV\BtS\Mods\", as long as the SVN folder is then named "Caveman2Cosmos")
3. Create new folder. (Folder name is unimportant unless it is placed within "CivIV\BtS\Mods\".)
4. Do the SVN checkout on the empty folder.
5. Then you go to your own SVN folder that is fully set up to showcase the SVN "update" and "export" functions.

6. Perhaps give the viewer a quick peek at the SVN "log", "update to revision...", and "clean up" functions.​

The tutorial is good as it is, just giving some comments that you can take or leave on your own accord.

I am happy to try this out. Maybe at a later date. This was sort of a rush thing as someone on the discord could not quite understand the written explanation all that well.

So you are saying that you can just make a folder called Caveman2Cosmos with nothing in it and the SVN will just make a full copy of the game for you? Huh that is actually kinda interesting. I might make a video explaining that.

I do hope this tutorial series has/will helped people out
