It would probably take 14 years for me to play the game. I set some stuff up and play a turn and got overwhelmed with it (I have Asperger's, soo..that probably doesn't help.)

What an infamous day. Enjoy the series though.

It's kind of fascinating to see that the Bureau of Ordnance's sloppy work on the Mark 14 torpedo (more precisely, the errors of its Mark 6 exploder) has American Naval Commanders pushed to frustration and despair in the year 2020+

@Strategy Gaming Dojo - First of all: I have never played this game and am therefore no expert. As a passionate layman, I think I have a pretty good picture of the war material used and its capacities as well as the strategies and the historical background. I've been following the game up until this episode and have some questions about your strategy. 1) You complain about how the Japanese pilots are gaining experience with the bombings. At the same time, I'm watching you (as example) pack long-range bombers far from the front lines because you say you'll need those units "later in the game." Given the strategic directive that you should never leave the initiative to the enemy - i.e. that it is necessary to win to force the enemy to react to your actions - wouldn't it be a smart maneuver to bomb unimportant Japanese bases that probably have no fighter protection with your long-range bombers to wear the japanese resources down? I'm thinking of actions like the B17 in the Philippines which (by mistake) successfully bombed a Japanese air force base in Taiwan. 2) You don't use the light commercial cruisers and leave them sitting in port because you find them useless. On the other hand, you had losses of particularly valuable cargo ships because these ships unexpectedly encountered Japanese surface units. Wouldn't it be a wise move to assign these cruisers to escort the most valuable freighters? Wouldn't they also draw some of the Japanese fire, thereby improving the freighter's chances of survival, even if they are useless in combat? I mean the AI ​​of the Japanese commanders and pilots would surely consider a cruiser as a priority target and the chances of survival from hits should be greater than that of a freighter - right?

Having a newborn really takes a lot of time away from being able to do hobbies, but usually after the kid is about 3 or 4 they start becoming a little more self sufficient and you have a little more energy to focus on your hobbies again.

I watch your full playthrough now in July 2024, is there a chance you come back to record more videos of Field of Glory: Empires? It's very enjoyable to see you explain everything.

so sorry you need to adopt kidz cartoon show voice. maybe just talk? like a relatively sane human being?

I was trying to read the manual and found sth like this: You need recon points on hexes to see the enemy. Troops spread out their recon points to neighboring hexes up to 10 hexes away. In the game interface and the rules you’ll see recon values mentioned on hexes. These actually concern effective recon points. These are a logarithmic derivative of raw recon points. Is this game for mathematician? wtf?

I liked these tutorials, but listening to Dojo was a real pain. Dojo, you repeat yourself 3 times on almost every subject. How dumb you think we are? You clearly have a lot of knowledge about this game, but you are very bad teacher. What we need is general explenation about particular mechanic and then an specific example, so we can see what to do in the right order. You on the other hand tell us 3 times what to do, but in such chaotic way, that we still don't know what to do first. Please, do better.

Bob Ross was appropriate. Now we're just going to make a nice and tidy pocket with our panzer divisions here. Doesn't that look nice? 🤣

An excellent tutorial. Thank you for your efforts!

I hope everything has gone well with you and your newborn. Best of luck out there Dojo! :D

My uncle was an infantryman in the US 90th Division during WW2. Great to see his unit get detailed. Seems like they did their homework.

enjoying the videos. i was an old player from war in the east from DOS days, so it was mostly refresher. Very helpful. Only complaint - they are a bit too 'bloated' - I estimated, for example, in tutorial 2, there was perhaps 15 minutes of really good stuff (needed), 15 minutes of anecdotes and things you like to do while you play (also useful), and then the other half of the vid is sort of just slog that could be trimmed. nevertheless, an excellent series!

I really enjoy your channel. I hope all is well as you seemed to have stopped creating content.

I do miss Chris and hope he, his wife, daughter and dog are doing well. Not a sound even on his other social media accounts. But I still hope he might turn up when family life permits it.

omg i can't believe ur still going on about the cards and HQ combat auras.....literally spent 15 of the 40 min talking about those last video and now were talking about them again....smfh i need to find another video this is ridiculous. at first i thought he just got side tracked but hes still goin like he did 8 lines of cocaine or something Edit: Yep, he couldn't make it thru the video without doing it again with the combat bonuses on the HQ units.....he did make it ALMOST 30 minutes before "diving back into it"....I'm betting he goes on in great lengths about it again for at least 10 minutes Edit 2: He only did 6 minutes on the combat bonus this time (thank god)

Jeez man, you're all over the place.....like I'm tryin to watch but you go thru stuff way too long on simple things that if you don't understand then you prob shouldn't play. But then you'll get into another thing then skip to something immediately lol. This could be condensed prob to 10 min, maybe 15 without all the filler. But still, thanks for the video

Awesome stuff

Awesome job, thanks for making this. On a side note I do prefer the videos without a head in the bottom corner, I know I am in the minority and of course it's not a deal breaker, just a personal preference.

Where did you go man? Come back!

Excellent vid, thank you.

Wow, this is so good. Can't wait to check out the rest, maybe tonight. THANK YOU!!

Anyhows when are you coming back, I miss your excellent videos!! 🎉🎉

Awesome game

Dont say Minksk. Say Minsk. There is no mink in Minsk.

quit changing your mind from changing your mind.

Lets GO! Just started my online campaign! :D

Terrible video.. You spend 10 minutes bullshitting and not even talking about the game. In a 16 minute video.

Hello Mr. Dojo and a belated thanks for making this system accessible. Sort of related, I found a random post on the Ageod froums by one of the current developers, Pocus, discussing a new Pride of Nations. Here's the quote: "I can certainly redo it in Archon (the engine used in Empires). We just need 2000 players lobbying Slitherine that it's a good idea :)" I implore anybody interested in this to Email Slitherine. I've started the campaign on Reddit as well in the computer wargaming sub. We only 1,999 more letters folks! Let's get the Victoria 3 that we deserve!

lol, everytime i pick up a new and complex slitherine game i end up on your tutorials. From WitP to this and everythign in between. Always great content!

Moving units around does lose the entrenchment as well.

I finally understand the railway/logistics thank you

Ive played the full campaign as the Germans many many times. I feel the difficulty levels are off a little. Normal is too strong and easy is too weak. I feel a good difficulty is somewhere between easy and normal if you are trying to recreate historical difficulty

you couldn't just mention what artillery does, could you?

Was looking at the game with quite interest... but 12.5 hours of "basic tutorial" 😂😂😂 with two small kids, I ain't got the time for that

my head quater have a range of 15 hexes is this a change

Was there ever a Part 4? Bit of a bummer to go through first three and then not see combat examples.

This was a great campaign mate. Loving it.

Thank you so much for this great video :-) W in German is pronouncing like a "V". So it is Luft-Vaffe (V like in Victory) ;-)

To clarify what he means about the Russian rail system: Soviet railways have their tracks closer together, so to use the Soviet railways,, somebody had to go relay the track so it would be wide enough apart for European trains. In some places, the Germans did capture Russian railway engines and cars, and so were able to use the captured railways if they were not sabotaged, but usually engines and cars were evacuated ahead of the German army except in the first few days when the Germans were able to move so fast.

17 minutes into this video narrator has still not said anything specific. He apparently thinks his audience has never heard of world war II before.

I cannot read any of the numbers on the databases even when the game is on my own computer. I'm thinking of getting a magnifying glass, but that is going to be very awkward gameplay.

This guy has confused the twin engine Ju-88 medium bomber with the classic Ju87 Stuka dive-bomber.

"See these infinity signs" he says, when the counters themselves are tiny brownish dots on the map. Ten minutes later he says you can see the armor symbols here" When once again all that is visible on screen is a small (blue?) dot. Does DOJO have a six-foot wide monitor?

So much gabbing before any instruction starts that I am very tempted to give up and demand a refund for the game.

The DOS version that I could play on Windows XP years ago was very playable and only fine points required a real learning curve. This version I have tried to play several times and cannot even seem to learn enough to make a game of it in the basic tutorial. I would almost suspect that someone wanted people to move away from the Gary Grigsby model of games.

Very good tutorial. This is helping me so much to learn the game.

because there is a limited number of citizens, chosing to build a specialist needs to be done carefully.
