Hi there, Zanchy here, for those of you who may not know me I'm an AoC CS player,
quite well known, play pretty much every map and I was wondering ...

Is it worth me making some short, high quality, informative videos for CS maps?
My idea is to make short clips, ie. only 30 seconds by which I can explain how to play the map
at hand, any tricks you need to know about the map and show people (CS) hands on how I
play AoC. (So I will record the screen so you can see my view, screen clicks Etc.)

=> These can all be made into a video for that map, for example:

Gwarz Blood:

I can make 2~3 short clips on tricks/tactics for the map, such as hot keying heroes,
hit/run/dodge skills with your Subotai, do's and don't s .. and then have a clip after each demonstrating
that exact trick. This can be made into a video and would only be about 4 minutes... really not long at all.

I am also willing to write out guides for maps in which people can actually follow, not too long, not too boring and I can make guides so we start as noob level and finish at top level 1v1, how far players go is entirely up to them.

So, I am certainly willing to do this kind of thing for maps I know very very well, below is a full list of maps I feel confident enough to do this for, please give your feedback: (Maps in bold are the most played ones, in which I'm referring to really.)

Bloods: Archers Blood , Cav Blood, Core Blood, Daze Blood, Drow Blood, Dessert Blood, Dome Blood, Fury Blood, Germs Blood, Flame of Eturnity , Gwarz Blood, Hunter Blood, KM, Legend of Blood,
Nova Blood, Path v3/Hereos Blood, Phat Blood, Rad Blood, Smosh , Spider Blood, Teh Blood,
Teutonic Blood, Vets BvsG / v4 Blood, Waterfest

CB's: CBA Hero, CB LOD, CBX, 10th Legion CB, MCB Store 1v1, RCB Auto, RCB Classic, RCB CBA, RCB 2010 v3, RCB 2011 v2, RCB NoS AD, Random CB, Ultimate CBF

CBA: I can go through everything you need in TG in general, skills, patrolling retreating Etc.. (As John / eT did in his great CBA guide if you like)

- But my idea really, if I make a video/tutorial/guide on CBA would be for 1v1 same civs, I am particularly well trained in Archer civs, I will list the most popular civs and I can really do any of them, the ones in bold are my personal best in which you would likely benefit most from:
Celts, Japs, Mayans, Mongols, Saracens, Brits.

=> Also remember, these patrols are the basis on this type of unit, I will likely offer to do a video on purely patrolling to help CS, anybody who wants to see it, but please DON'T LEAVE BACK NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT EGO, I will explain why I am doing this in a bit, it's nothing to do with ego.

Alternative Maps: (Ones in bold = most popular)

Dodgeball Teams, FFA, AoW, KOT, Linewars, Tower wars, TTF.



ok so tell me what you think, why am I offering to do this?

Because I have played AoC for a long while, I love it and I want to give back to the community, I enjoy teaching things and I hope to get a positive feedback so I can try this and see if it benefits anybody.

Thanks all - I welcome your comments.

Zanchy ™

Do the maps you consider the most important/played. For exemple, you do not need to waste your time explaining CB LOD or Teutonic Blood lol.

However, did you figure out yet how to record it? Also, if you need some further assistence just ask me eh? :P

- yeah thanks penedro :) I did, I can do it so the screen is really clear too and upload it to voobly/youtube,
the only downfall would be there's no sound, but of course I can add in my beautiful voice!

do the most played maps like cba,smosh,rcbgold.....

a lot of softwares out there can record both the screen and the sound.....like fraps...but you might wanna reencode the output video file to compress it

Zanchy that sounds like a lot of work for one person... you should try to get a team of people together to make comprehensive guides for select scenarios.

Do spider start. Its fairly easy. Then add a list of units to use and what razes do, to the info.
Likewise Germz and vets.

To question why he would bother with such an useless endeavour, obviously.
