Little tricky tricks

Well, I've made another video. This video highlights a few of the more interesting tactics I know of and also touches on the importance of aggressive play in spring.

The video includes scenes from matches hosted in the unknown files reply section. I am using them under the fair use for education terms in internation copyright law

This video is really excellent. Are more on the way, for other mods perhaps? A video for newbs would be fantastic too.

i watched it and is there any chance you could actually show gamewinning stuff instead of the stuff you use to pwn noobs in style, but for the rest
awesome stuff

thanks for the vid, downloading it now.

note: this link may look like the link to a movie, but it's not. it's a link to a page at which you can download the movie. don't right click on the link, you won't get the movie. go to the actual page.

Sad, but true.

damn! now everyone (that watched this) knows about DT terraforming! although it often (for me) is inadequate for some things, ie a f*ng vulcan!?!

again, i suggest you stop using that lame green background for text... get a still from the movie, or a SS of the map at tab-zoom... credits were nicer, though

Wow, this really impressed me. (And not just cause i was in it twice)

The voice over and the tips were really high quality, looking forward to any new videos you make.

Nanotowers won't be transportable next version?

O well, thats like a flying comm nanolithe anyway. I love this videos, don't stop gogglebox!! It should help out newbs too, never knew those high towers were too high.

Yeah, I agree the green background is lame but it makes it easy to read. I WILL be getting rid of it for the next video and upping the production values, using a lot more different camera angles, panning, dolly shots and changing the camera shot a LOT more.

I may have to make the move to Adobe Premiere Pro as movie maker is a little limiting with only one video stream and one extra audio track.

If anyone wants to send me replays of stuff they think should be included in part 2 please email them (also with what I'm looking out for and a time index).

P.S. shame if nano towers wont be transportable in the next version.

Yay my site got a mention! (although the address has now changed to http://replays.unknown-files.net, but the old address is still valid)

I'm still downloading the video, but I have two words of advice for you:

http://www.youtube.com/

http://video.google.com/

Makes the videos a bit more accesible :)

Nanotowers aren't transportable because that can trigger a bug that makes them invincible.
