New (german) YouTube channel about Mage Wars
« on: December 19, 2014, 04:37:27 AM »
Hello everyone!

This is only my second post here, normally i am an active member of the german Mage Wars forum at Pegasus games. After watching some episodes of the Arcane Duels  (Props to Justin, Nathan and the others, i really enjoy your work!) i decided to come up with my own channel with games, to support the (far too small) german MW Scene. It is called Akiros Gunst (Akiros Favor).I know for a fact that many german speaking people prefer this forum (wich has much more users), so maybe some of you would like to take a look! There are ony two episodes so far, but i plan to keep them coming.  So much for my advertisement! ;) I wish you all nice holydays.

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed watching the videos

In the first game, the Priestess focused on the Necromancer too early with far too little damage potential. Using Divine Intervention to rush was a terrible move as well. Teleport would have accomplished the same thing for less mana, but there was not a lot of point in attacking at that point anyway. The Priestess also would have been better off leading with the economy and didn't use the Battle Forge particularly efficiently. Overall the Necromancer had a much better game plan.

The second video was harder to follow, although the openings seemed more reasonable. Some of the followup decisions were questionable, but overall I felt like there was a bit better strategy than in the first game. The Warlock needed to do a better job of focus firing and probably should have considered playing another threat.

In terms of rules issues, Defend can't target a Skeletal Knight. It also looks like Adramelech healed from Vampirism when attacking a nonliving creature, which he shouldn't have. You may have commented those, but I don't speak German, so I couldn't tell.

Thank you for your thoughts! :-)  The first game was a very spontanious one, and my opponent didn't put much thought into his strategy, his idea was just to test the bridge troll. I agree that the second game was much better. Sadly, i had some terrible rolls (Damn you AKIRO! ;) ) So the Adramalech needed far to long to destroy the barracks. I agree that i should have played my blood reaper deamon in midgame. I tend to put far to much resources in destroying the enemys conjurations....

Of course you are right about the rule mistakes.  Its suprising how many mistakes you make in a normal game! I mentioned some of them per screen text, but we noticed others after posting the videos.

Thank you, i don't mind at all. :) I really didn't expected them to be interessting to the english speaking community! But it seems that people have fun watching the games, even when they don't understand a word we're saying... Just shows how much demand there is for more video material for this awsome boardgame!

Of course. The people who are really interested in watching these videos often know the cards inside out so it's easy to tell what's going on.

Also, don't let silly mistakes get to you, I still make plenty. There's just so many rules. Going public with your games is risky because everyone will catch them and are not afraid to tell you. I like to learn from those mistakes, we're all still learning here.

Yeah thanks for starting another youtubechannel on Mage Wars K1ckEM ! i can't get enough of these vids ! i'm from Belgium, and i really don't mind the Auf Deutsch videos !  We train our Mage Wars skills as well as our languages with this ! keep those matches coming ! i'm currently playing the druid, so i wouldn't mind seeing her in your next matchup !

by the way, could it be that you didn't use your damage barrier ability from your demonhide armor in the match with the Warlock (Hexenmeister) ?

Auf Wiederhören !

Transcontinental 2on2 - that would be amazing (and I'd be happy to represent the European team)!

Sorry Horst, i think what Coshade meant was a battle of our YouTube channels! :) Well, that is in the future, for now, here is the Link to our third episode. As mentioned, this one is far more "professionally" made in many aspects, altough sometimes we have an annyoing hissing sound.

We hope to add english subtitles, or at least a summary of the strategy discussion before and after the game, very soon. Enjoy.
