I was thinking about the big MP battles, filled of a variety of late game mythological summons, huge armies and deadly magic shows 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
