I am intending to do a series of commentaries on competitive matches I have played and trying do some analysis.

The first video in the series can be found here. The matchup is the Romans vs the Seleucids from Round 1 of the 2017 Holiday Tournament.

Lovely, thank you!

Excellent, really informative. Especially as I've picked the Seleucids in Classical Antiquity! Not looking forward to facing the Romans after watching that. Look forward to watching more of these. Thank you.

I was just informed this was uploaded at 360p???? I swore I uploaded this at 1080p. Can anyone confirm if something got screwed up on YT's end or was it always 1080p

It did seem low res had trouble reading text.

Ok thanks, I am rebuilding the file and reuploading sigh.

edit: phew, turns out it was a Youtube server issue. As for the blurry text if you mean the army selection slide, yeah its bad. I am trying different fixes since I do the screen grab off the recording and then have to put it through moviemaker which seems to blur it up a bit. Trying different things for next video.

Really good job Mike.

Having also drawn the Seleucids in the Classical Antiquity section having missed out on my bid for Macedon this does not inspire me with confidence. I may be meeting people in Division C next season I think following relegation

One should not worry about playing this Seleucid list. It is a very good list assuming you do not have a lot of rough terrain and its not an asymetric matchup (ie horse archers)

As my AAR pointed out, some significant mistakes were made by my opponent. If he had simply held firm and not made the pike pivot for example, or if he had support the pike pivot by aggressively using his Cataphracts to guard the flanks, I would have had a *much* harder time and would have been forced to try and break through the left with Veteran Hastati/Princeps units with help from my 3 medium foot.

It would have been a much more competitive match.

Thanks for the video, that was very interesting.

Looking forward to the next one assuming there's one in production?

Sorry, I am in the middle of a busy period with an upcomming move. I thought I would be able to push out another video before I shut down for a bit but I could not release one to the standards I feel is necessary to make public so I have held off. My apologies.

No worries, look forward to it when you are settled and have time.

New video going live in an hour

Great news! Look forward to seeing it.
