Status: offline 		I've finally finished an epic 102 episode long Shadow Empire Let's Play series over at eXplorminate. It's a long one so fully aware that it's a big time commitment, but on the off-chance there's anybody who is interested that hasn't already seen it, I've linked it below.

Life on Seth

I think for experienced players it might be of interest in showing people how to manage very large games featuring hundreds of units, with multiple concurrent fronts. At the end I had something like 70 zones to manage.

There is not much ytb content for SE, so its always nice. Shorter series (40-50 episodes max) would be probably best, pbem even better.

Hope you add some of the graphical mods for your next games. They really uplift the game.

Status: offline 		Thanks folks, I'm pleased people enjoyed it.

I actually take more care over my game when I'm doing a Let's Play, and before this I really didn't like playing very large maps on any 4X game as I tend to lose interest, so this one really taught me how to appreciate the details and that kept me engrossed the whole way through. There's really only Distant Worlds: Universe that grabs me in the same way, and it's a credit to Vic that he's made such an amazing game that I'd enjoy every minute of such a long campaign.

I reckon I'm a lot better at the game now too, and starting to understand some of the nuance that I didn't really pay much attention to at the start, particularly combat resolution and leader skills. When I do another one I'm going to be much more focused on efficient empire management and characters too.
