No Dom3 on Youtube?

Well, I was curious today, gave a look and got deeply surprised. :shock:
I'm wondering why none of our gurus are posting the videos of some of their greatest MP battles on YouTube. You find videos about the stupidest games there, and not of this very good one, to celebrate a victory or whatever? I think everybody would really enjoy (and the n00bs like me would also learn a lot) if someone would take the time to record and upload some videos showing the correct (or even failing :rolleyes:) use of communions, battlefield enchantments, thugs and SCs, SC-countermeasures and so on :)
Also if I didn't know about Dom3 and found by chance some of its great battles, I would have fallen in love with it immediately - it could help the community :D

Let me know what you think, if you want ;)

Well..... I laughed, the first time I saw a battle play out. >.> But, the review that I had read was so flattering, I kept playing. Now, I think they're cute, and they accurately display what is going on, but they're not really one of my major selling points.

I think the major problem with YouTube, is that at that resolution you may not be able to read the text of what spells are being cast. Between that, and an inability to click on anything to see gear or paths or blesses, might kind of reduce the value of it. Battles saved in a turn file are very cool and informative, but I am not sure about film. :(

I was thinking about the big MP battles, filled of a variety of late game mythological summons, huge armies and deadly magic shows :happy: Maybe not so impressing as Oblivion videos, but still a nice show of which emotions the game can provide.

YouTube actually supports high resolution videos - they just take more time to load ;)

Well, the maker of the video would be supposed to take 1 minute or so to show the most important units, explain briefly the gear and the blesses clicking onto them and maybe through vocal comments or textual notes on video... Like other people do for other strategy games. Really, looking at the amount of time some of us spend in making great mods and guides, showing how much they like the game... recording a good, informative video seems trivial compared to that :)

Surely better than a film, but this supposes the watcher to already know the game, the forum, have the (full? or demo is enough?) copy and enough knowledge of the game to figure out what is happening on screen by himself :D

Re: No Dom3 on Youtube?

There are some videos on the tube:

There might be more, but these are some that I found in just a few minutes searching.

Re: No Dom3 on Youtube?

There are definetly some. And many from Dom2 also.

But I have always wondered why some of the more interesting battles werent there. Or some nice displays with Gods Eyes showing a really big game with lots of owned provinces. Or maybe a tutorial.

A talking AAR would be fantastic. Like a little fantasy movie.

Oh, and just for good measure:

:popcorn:
:D:D:D

Re: No Dom3 on Youtube?

hah must say, the bog beast made me lol

Re: No Dom3 on Youtube?

i posted the very first dom video on youtube for dom2 i believe :)

my plan was to get the nicest battles... but the resolution was really crappy

Re: No Dom3 on Youtube?

Oh, the lovely Bog Beast :p

Those videos you posted I already found ;) Some are Dom2; those are not bad but not particularly the high-end strategies you read on guides and you would love to see in action, set up by a game's expert :o

Re: No Dom3 on Youtube?

Im surprised that the BogBeast didnt dance.
