Sounds like you don't know the "Let's Play!" AAR of matryx, because that's exactly what he did. Got over two dozen people (those that we know of) inspired to buy the game after reading through that one.

Yes that one is fantastic. Llamabeast added it to Shrapnels "Call for AARs" post a year or two back. Gee, but I dont remember it having a video. I will have to go see if he has updated it.

I remember that it reminded me alot of my "Starter Gods" examples for Dom2 which I tried to get some interest generated in Dom3 since there were so many new nations that I couldnt quite get the motivation to do it.

Usually Im the one sounding like an old geezer of the net, but I do have to admit that some people will read an AAR like its a good book. And others, more and more lately, seem to only want it in a video format as if its a TV show. Especially if it comes with animation and commentary. Thats why Im thrilled to give my enthusiastic push to a YouTube project (or something better). I would love to see Matryx do a video of "Let's Play". Maybe I will pitch him the way to do it as a published book and/or a CD which he can sell at an online site and it wont cost him anything to do it.

Woo, woo, those all sounds big except the first one

I'd start with some simple battles before We could create a TouTube specifical user/channel to post those videos - so who has more time and skillz can fill it with bigger projects.

For now, myself I can just appeal to the gamers to post some nice battle's turn files

See ya guys!

From what I have seen, the direct conversion of battles to youtube come off too blured to see much. But Im very noob on the subject as to whether that can be fixed by changing settings at our end.

There's a finished LP of Dom3 on the SomethingAwful forums (and it's really good ^^). They didn't put their videos on youtube though. I think they're on viddler.

[Gandalf Parker]

do you have a link?

[Dectilon]

Sadly no, unless you're already a member of SA. It's coming to the LP Archive soon though I think.

[Gandalf Parker]

I understand that for SA but I was hoping that the site they put the video didnt have that.

It's mostly a screenshot LP, but I can post links to some of the battle videos I guess...

Here's one!

Wow, that's exactly what I asked for, AND it has a commentary! Thanks for sharing the URL with us.
