I've been recording a series of Let's Play videos for Beta 2 since it was launched (got about 12 episodes done already with still more to go. It will take a long time to upload them. The first is now online with a couple more coming over the next few hours. It will take me a number of days to get them all uploaded.

The link to the playlist is here

Let's Play Fallen Enchantress

Here is episode one. Hope you like it. This goes into a lot of detail so please don't expect a click-fest. Every decision is discussed at length so it may help new players to the Elemental universe. I must say that I'm really impressed with this release.

This video looks at the starting position and also goes over the main interface.

Watched the first two, nice in depth for people new to the series.

 

Quick tip:  When you're looking for a place to settle (as in video 2), PLEASE click the button on the top right.  You know, the one just to the left of the tile yield.  It has the same effect as hovering over the settle button, but stays on and doesn't require your sovereign to be selected.  I kept trying to click on the button while watching the video, I wanted to see the tile yields.  Makes looking at potential settling sites much easier.

Thanks Urrumi. I never knew that was there. I've finished recording now but that is a good tip.

Here is Episode 5...

Continuing to watch.  I hope a dev watches, and takes your occasional UI and other suggestions to heart - simple little changes that would help the game, especially for newcomers.

Using BandiCam to capture the videos. Brilliant software. Eats Fraps.

Simply awesome! And the commentary is right to the point, especially the UI remarks. Also, I too would love Brit English voicing but perhaps that's just European solidarity speaking. Keep up the good job!

Interesting videos. I notice that your game is much smaller scale than mine. But you really bring a good voice to the action. Always fun to watch.

Nice "Let's Play". I've watched them all so far and have enjoyed them. Keep posting them. I am very curious to see how everything pans out.

You can upgrade to a better weapon or armor, but not unit size. I too find it strange. 

 

 

Spell Mastery makes a spell penetrate Spell Resistance. Healer was the right choice though.

Watching you build that tank unit was difficult to watch. You should have taken the +3 to Constitution, -1 to Dexterity; and +3 to Constitution, -1 to Strength; and +3 Defense. Constitution exponentially increases the unit's health as they level. I would also cast Aura of Vitality on your main troop training city. 

 

Nice win on the battle. Just for next time, getting the first strike would have made that battle so much easier. Hitting first means weakening their attack ability by killing off troops. I don't know why you forfeited that.

I hadn't really thought much about Constitution. Thanks for the info.

Here is episode 14. Damn it takes a long time uploading these to YouTube. Each video is taking around 4 or 5 hours to upload.
