The AI: War Completed Video Tutorials

[Mánagarmr]

Well folks, here they are, all three of em. I'll probably be making more up front for specific tactics (such as taking out AI Eyes or dealing with guardian blobs, taking out fortresses etc etc), but these are for the barebones of the game. Enjoy!

Basic Tutorial
Intermediate Tutorial
Advanced Tutorial

Nice work mate. Very well made.

I haven't played much of the Unity version (besides some testing on Linux), so getting up to speed on the Guardians and the really useful reference tab was really handy.

Great vids!

Really appreciate that you explain which hotkeys you're using as that makes the interface a lot less imposing (ie hmmm, now which icon do I click...? Oh, I just hit b for 'build' or d for 'dock', etc).

Looking forward to whatever you come up with next!

Those are some well made tutorials, Great Job. I've played for awhile and even I learned something new as I didn't know turrets degraded in firepower when under a shield.

However I must point out one small detail, at the very end of the Advanced video you slipped and said welcome to Eve online; though when you repeated yourself you said it correctly.

I skipped to the end to confirm that and whahahahahahahah I am soooo giving him crap for that when he logins.  

Nicely ofc.

Wonderful stuff!  I'm really impressed, and Keith and I are both really grateful.

And the videos page now features them instead of the crufty old 2.0-based ones: http://www.arcengames.com/aiwar_videos.php

Watched and liked all three.  Very well done.

I just have one minor   thing at the moment - around 4:30 in the second video, you hit low power, and probably not even thinking about it, turn on a reactor - Would this not have been a good time to explain energy?

also, talking about alert.. the devourer seems to have the systems north of caprica on alert, but you dont explain whats happening there :x

Okay, I admit that is terrible. I'll see if I can fix it somehow and reupload, or if I'm simply going to leave it there "for the lulz" and just annotate the video instead. And here I thought I watched it through enough x.X

You're probably right. I didn't even think about it, instead I just reacted as I always do. Heh, old habits die hard.

As for the alert north of Caprica, I didn't mention it because I honestly didn't notice much. I was more into explaining over-all what alerts are all about. I felt it was a bit too outside the scope to go into all the moments a planet can go on alert for optional minor factions. But thanks for noticing though!

I wouldn't stress about that too much -- a bit of humor never hurt anyone.

That's pretty much what I thought as well, so I left it with an annotation instead

Sounds good.

Great tutorial! 

Why is your tittle 'Mentor Member' instead of hero member?

xD It's probably not going to change. But "Hero" member is probably due to my excessive spamming on these forums

[zebramatt]

Very nice.

I especially liked watching it with Google's experimental audio transcription closed captions on.
