My next videos are going to be about:
1) The Statue of Zeus
2) How to avoid plundering
3) Tips on how to get diamonds

Do you have any suggestions for further videos? Post them here or comment on my videos. :)

Wow, I completely forgot I have a forum thread on US server, because I play on EN server. Took a break from making videos, but now with a new PC I was able to create better content. From now on I`ll post 1-2 episodes of gameplay each week, and time to time I`ll add a new guide video. Next guide video will be about how to avoid plundering.

Here are my latest videos:

10 methods how to get diamonds

Gameplay episode #1 - awkward introduction, guild expeditions


Gameplay episode #2 - I got 800 diamonds!

Nice videos, Ragu Silverton would be proud. Not much to learn if you have already been playing awhile. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, that is true, my FOE videos are intended for newer players. Although I have played for more than 3 years, I`m still in PE in my main world (2+ years old), so I can cover only the basics what I have learned myself. But I enjoy making videos and can learn something new myself.

Cheers! :)

I`m so sorry, have not uploaded a single video about Forge of Empires for ages. :( Hopefully this gameplay video will mark my return! Enjoy! :)

Exactly 3 weeks later new Forge of Empires gameplay video is out! I`m improving. :D Let`s hope the next video will be out after only 1 week. :)

In this episode I played mostly Guild Expeditions negotiation game (need footage for upcoming videos) and was pretty lucky! 25 diamonds, 8 extra attempts and 68 forge points!
Upgraded my pc from 4 to 16 gb ram, so the quality is slightly better. Therefore using new video editing software with lots of posibilities. Still have to learn, how to use it properly.

Enjoy the video. :)

This is great, but may I please make a suggestion?

Add subtitles to your videos. People with hearing disabilities will really appreciate them, and so will non-native English speakers.

I used to work on an international gaming project and several of the other members would talk about how it was easier to watch a movie with English subtitles than it was to listen to a movie with English audio.

Makes sense since they use the Internet to communicate in English. :)

This would take a little work but fortunately YouTube makes it very easy to add subtitles! https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2734796?hl=en gives a simple step by step how to do it.

Otherwise you force people to rely on the auto-generated subtitles which will deliver gems such as:

Otherwise you are doing a really good job, keep it up! Hope to see more from you.

Only 5 months later I have a new Forge of Empires gameplay episode. During these 30 minutes, I mostly talk about life in general. You will notice higher video quality, great voice-over quality (new microphone) and some changes in editing. Enjoy! :)

Appreciate your efforts! I will go through your videos soon. The moment I think I know all about the game I come across something new :)

I`m happy to hear someone is appreciating my videos! The old videos are in bad quality (audio, video, editing), so I doubt you`ll enjoy watching them, but I`m on a new gear and have developed some editing skills, so hopefully I will hang on to my inspiration and will make not only gameplay videos but also tutorials. Though I`m not promising anything based on my previous experience. :D

Hey Dursland, I guess I did not have a script for this particular video you have screenshoted, so I did not edit the automatically generated subtitles. But the rest tutorials should have clear subtitles.
Also, I noticed the voiceover quality is important for the automatically generated subtitles - the better the quality, the better the subtitles. For my alst gameplay video I took a quick look and there was very little to edit.

But I will check this particular video and edit subtitles.

And it`s also possible for my viewers to add subtitles. It`s called community contributions if I`m not mistaken.

But I Appreciate your suggestion. Thank you. :)

So, after one of my guildmates watched my previous gameplay video, I was offered something. Watch the video to find out, what happened there. ;)
