Let me know what you think, if you want

Well..... I laughed, the first time I saw a battle play out. >.> But, the review that I had read was so flattering, I kept playing. Now, I think they're cute, and they accurately display what is going on, but they're not really one of my major selling points.

I think the major problem with YouTube, is that at that resolution you may not be able to read the text of what spells are being cast. Between that, and an inability to click on anything to see gear or paths or blesses, might kind of reduce the value of it. Battles saved in a turn file are very cool and informative, but I am not sure about film.

I was thinking about the big MP battles, filled of a variety of late game mythological summons, huge armies and deadly magic shows Maybe not so impressing as Oblivion videos, but still a nice show of which emotions the game can provide.

YouTube actually supports high resolution videos - they just take more time to load

Well, the maker of the video would be supposed to take 1 minute or so to show the most important units, explain briefly the gear and the blesses clicking onto them and maybe through vocal comments or textual notes on video... Like other people do for other strategy games. Really, looking at the amount of time some of us spend in making great mods and guides, showing how much they like the game... recording a good, informative video seems trivial compared to that

Surely better than a film, but this supposes the watcher to already know the game, the forum, have the (full? or demo is enough?) copy and enough knowledge of the game to figure out what is happening on screen by himself
