I want to thank you for your Let's Play videos.  I have watched several entire series and am always looking forward to more because I enjoy them immensely.

Thank you!

Very well done, Das! I especially enjoyed your throrough explanation of gameplay mechanics.

Thanks for your comments.

I tend to record a heap in one or two sittings and then start processing them afterwards but uploading takes quite a while so I only upload about one a day.

Here's episode 2 and 3...

These are great videos!  I highly recommend them to not just those looking for a game demonstration, but also anyone who would like to gain some insight, tips and strategies from an experienced player.  Thanks Das, these are coming in very handy as I promote the game.

Da123 you must be rusty! Start you cities out building logging camp and workshops otherwise buildings like shrines take too long to build. Oppression city enchant really helps with production at the start by reduing loss from unrest..at least till you get the camp and shop up. Since you built on the 3/3 you prob should have gone town for your first city. Switching from the staff of souls to the stone mace on your spellcaster wasnt a good idea..shadowbolt and dirge need that +25% spell dmg to be worth casting. Dont forget to corrupt your nodes so your death magic dmg goes up. With spiders and alter demons you prob dont need to be researching leather armor just yet. I like trading for roads, but since your a caster you might grab enchating in the maigc tree for early ranged troops

Heh I'm still in #2...with Death magic you should be casting blind on every melee mob like that troll..its super cheap, has no casting time and causes 50% chance to miss. One of the best spells. Also let your demons hang back and gain a lvl or two before you move them forward..otherwise they die in one hit. Go with Fortress city types unless you need food/influence from town type. Fortress is the only type that seems to be able to build city defenses..plus they get buildings that speed production. You just got warden outpost upgrade in the video...but you dont seem to know you need to click on the outpost and build the various outpost upgrades..its not automatic. In your next series tap up research time during creation so you dont finish the tech tree so quickly.

Thanks for the tips. It's too late for this series but I always learn a lot from the comments. (I only end up corrupting one shard in this whole series and that was more of an experiment to see what the Cyndrum Demons were like).

Here's episode 5...

I love the Crow Demons personally. 4 Movement and Flight. Perfect scouts.

The split to 9 units is a typo. Only splits to 5 units - but still very cool.

I think when the parties and groups were balanced the top limit went from 9 to 5 (something I feel is good for the game).

Here's episode 6...

Great videos (even though the fights are a bit slow a times, maybe up the animation speed? just a suggestion...)

I do wonder why you turned down the influence from the quest, even though you will need influence to use that wildland allies tech you are researching at that point and have no other influence sources in sight.

In episode 6, at time 15:56 there is one of those invisible rivers. Had that bug for ages, glad it also happens for other people, as I got no reactions to my bug reports about it. Look at the terrain indicator, it says 'river' even though the tile next to the river is highlighted. And the unit actually stops there like on a real river tile. So it is a real river tile, you just can't see it
