Best streamer/youtube player/tutorial out there?

[Red Dragon]

In my experience in order to learn complex games like AoW III and get to the next level quickly, it's very helpful to watch a streamer/youtuber play, who has the following attributes:

a) is a pro with deep understanding of the game
b) verbalizes his/her rationale behind everything/most of what (s)he's doing
c) is easy/pleasant to listen to

Do you have any recommendations for a pro level player (or close to that) whom I can watch play during breakfast and take away valuable lessons from?

Loads of stuff on youtube, but I don't think anyone has done a "guide" as such. My own videos have been to highlight certain things, like Tigrans, as in information, not tutorial.

Eventually, I want to take Jomungur's sterling work:

and explore each concept with either video or screenshots.


In the meantime, I recommend you read that, or if you are more of a beginner, read this:

and just play.

Thank you for the reply. I've seen your avatar around the AoW III forums as well and judging by what I read from you there so far -assuming you're the same guy- you seem to know your stuff quite well.

Anyhow, I've had the experience that watching some of the best players tackle a complex game like this (Filth Robot for Civ V multiplayer and Arumba or DDRJake for Crusader Kings II & Europa Universalis IV for example) improved my own game tremendously in a very short time. I'm not really in need of a basic tutorial or beginners guide I get all of the basics. I've also already read about half of the weebly guide before already, which truly is excellent - those are however quite high level tips (which is good), but it's still quite different from watching a "pro" react and handle the random dynamics arising from concrete strategic and tactical situations.

A video of a match between two or more pro level players would be perfect to learn from as well, even if in a worst case the videos are without commentary (as I imagine a AoW III pro match isn't as cryptic to watch as say a Starcraft 2 pro replay). I just want to learn from "the best", because right now by my own estimate I'm exiting the beginners phase and entering the intermediate level, so I could not necessarily tell the difference between advanced and pro level play.

Actually I just got some hits for a match with "Jomungur", the guy who wrote the mp guide and even if that things is close to a year old by now I suppose at least the basics still hold.

I've compiled a list of the more well known videos. See my post in this thread:

Almost all of those videos are from old versions of the game, mostly pre-Golden Realms. Regardless, they should give you a good idea about how to go about things. I highly recommend Garresh's Rogue video, it's very useful even though the class has underwent numerous changes.

I haven't seen/heard of anyone doing commentary or posting videos more recently. I'm sure there are some, but I've not been on top of finding out.
