Beginner's Guide Video Series

Post by MikeC_81 »

I was asked about helping put together a set of guides for newer players by someone on this forum and after seeing several repeat questions on this and the steam forum, I decided to create a set of Youtube videos on the super basics of mechanics in this game.

I apologize for the sound quality, several people who have vetted the first few videos have already noted that to me so I hope to improve on that a bit in subsequent videos as I go along but I don't really have studio mic or anything. This is more of a spare time project more than anything else.

If you find factual errors please let me know!!! One person has already pointed out sections where I misspoke and I am not going to lose sleep over that but if something is just plain out wrong, let me know so I can find a way to amend it or fix it. Annotations don't work anymore on Youtube so it will probably be a card with a link to the correction video.

edit: I am adding more but video 4 might take a few more days.

Thank you!

While I'm here, does anyone know how to have YouTube recognize 'Field of Glory II' is a game? It auto-defaults to the original and the second doesn't show up when trying to select a game in their drop down and search function.

Dastactic the you tuber has done a great series on the game so if you find one of those then other FOG2 you tube plays should show up in the right hand panel.

Oh, definitely! I mean when publishing a youtube video of the game, YouTube itself offers a drop-down selection that categorizes your video as a specific video game. Currently, only Field of Glory exists in that category, as you see in MikeC_81's video as well.

Thanks for the kind words, I have added Part 4 to the playlist.

I found Part 4 difficult to make, please let me know if it is unintelligible or if the information is poorly laid out.


edit: Does anyone know how to tag my videos with the FoG thing that I see in other FoG 2 videos. I am a neophyte when it comes to making stuff like this.

Also I noticed a small error. I am fairly sure you said that lancers would be on a net 0 POA when charging steady Spearmen, but in fact they are on -100 because they lose their +100 for lancers against stationary steady Spearmen.

The hallmark of a good lets' play/instructional video is in its' narration, imho. This series is better then good. Thank you, Mike.
