A follow up to my sim city 4 tutorial

Well, it has been quite some time since I’ve posted here on Date Your Game. I’ve got more videos on my youtube ready to watch that I don’t think I’ll get around to adding here, but for now I’ll post my latest video, Stronghold 2 Age of Rome.

Out of the 230+ subscribers I have, some 70% are mainly there for my Stronghold 2 videos. Me, loving computers, modifications, and gaming, decided to modify a computer game that both love and has gotten me a small amount of fame off of youtube. In 2006, a few friends of mine had this idea for a mod, bringing Stronghold 2 back into the Roman Ages. They didn’t get far, however. It wasn’t until December of 2007 that I took up the mantle and led the mod. Doing most of the work myself, I got good progress, and was able to release an alpha in the second quarter of 2008. As of now, I am still working on getting the Beta ready, which will have a brand new Conquest Trail, and maybe a few more new units. I think my Christmas it will be ready.

Now this video is just a preview of what I have done and what will be in the mod. The video features the first mission in the conquest trail, a Roman army marches out of Rome to attack one of the Gallic forts of the region. You also get a preview of some of the songs and units and such. Now without further ado, heres the video.

The alpha includes 10 new songs, 8 new units, a new loading screen, a few new maps, new unit cards and a few more small features. Enjoy this mod brought to you by Frankoman!

I’ve religiously played the Homeworld games for years now, and i still haven’t found a game more immersive or well made than Homeworld 2. So, finally, i’ve made a video in tribute to Homeworld 2, as well as the band Muse. Enjoy!

Just a bunch of random video clips from various video games that I have taken over the past month. Hoping to make a video out of them one day. However I just decided to put them all together and add some music for your enjoyment.

Well guys, this is it! DYG’s first Red Alert 3 video(s)!

I’ve only played five matches (as of this video’s upload) and have yet to make full use of all the unit’s secondary gimmicks. I guess I’m just stuck in the past with classic C&C rush tactics :P. But this video does demonstrate how useful naval assaults can be now.

My opponent wasn’t well prepared for naval attacks, so I took advantage of this. As well as harrassing him with small rushes of Conscripts and Hammer Tanks, he became convinced I would be purely trying to rush him from the ground. He put up a good fight and held back many of my advances, though once I started rolling in the big guns, he eventually surrendered.

I must say though, that the most interesting faction so far is the Empire of the Rising Sun, whom require plenty of micro-management, especially when it comes to decisions on whether to use a unit as AA or AG. I’ll do a victory vid on them next to demonstrate this.

Story Mission 11: The Final Chase.

Here’s episode 2 of my machinima medieval 2 cine-editor serie.
This is basically the part where the Russian king marchers out of Moscow and meet the Mongols with his royal army.
I got aided by Attila lots of thanks to him.
I again had to divide it in 2 parts because it was to long for youtube.

For the next episode I need 2 people, I guess that will be doable without much organising .

Okey so to me the game isn’t THAT bad,but yeah its got its issues but it has an EPIC intro though hehe .The game also has framerate drops from time to time and crashes but i didnt patch it so yeah …anyways the world domination mode is a nice addition i hope they add that in Empire Erath 4 and learn from past mistakes.The game has its ups and downs but if your a true Empire Earth fan ad relly want to try the game out and if your not like me then at a relly low price if you can find it.Theres always something worse out there but this game is definetly not liked mainly cause most players dont think that the game meet’s the standard that the first 2 games set.But one of the games what i think for the best is ITS art style since the first 2 games most of the factions and units seemd WAY way to similar so that is definetly one of the better design although they relly should have went for realism then cartoony but they relly did i belive do this and RELLY TRY to make a good game…well seeing as to how Rockstar has on April 4th purchased Mad doc software and they are now called Rockstar New England (which is makeing chinatown wars for DS and ported bully to wii and 360).Hopefully they will use the IP of the Empire Earth franchise and learn from mistakes of the 3r game and make number 4…Thank you for reading and cya next time.(before i forget …they have just 5 time periods now but they cover the basics okey cya for real now)

Red Dot Sight

The Red Dot Sight is an add on that doesn’t have a long range zoom.

It’s main feature is it’s special reticule form by the red dot.

It allows the user to acquire a target with accuracy without being aligned directly with the eyes.

The main interest is to quickly increase the accuracy without limiting the arc of view.

This allows to acquire and fire on a target without losing sight of the environment.

The only cost being a reduction of movements when it’s used, making the player an easier target, especially in close combat.

Recoil has a major effect too, and forces you to compensate regularly to keep your target well aligned.

From a tactical point of view, we recommend to activate it exclusively when a target is aligned.

As soon as the target is down deactivate it to move back to your normal speed.

By using it this way you will gain from it’s quality without the inconvenience.

From a general stand point the Red Dot Sight is useful in all environments.

It is good in the open and close environments as long as you develop the right reflexes.

The Red Dot Sight appears to be the most versatile add on that you can choose in Call of Duty 4.

It is mostly adapted for a player with an aggressive way of playing, that like to move around and need to eliminate multiple target as fast as possible.

Call of Duty 1 is a first person shooter, in the times of the second world war. I hope that you like my walkthroughs, and I hope that they will help you play the game even thow it is old.

Story Mission 7: A Taste for Blood.

Swim through a minefield to kill some divers hiding among the Ship Graveyard.
