[COMPLETED] Let's play X-PirateZ (182 episodes)

[DracoGriffin]

Really appreciate the shoutout and promotion, Meridian.

Keep up the good work!

[Cristao]

I am not sure if you get exp for hitting civilians though. I often stun them so they stop being a target and wandering in the way, but I don't know if that's worth anything.

Started doing this too. It can be really irritating.

[Dioxine]

AFAIK you don't get XP for hitting the civvies, and I'm not sure if they don't count as killed if you forget to revive them afterwards.

Question: which format do you prefer?
  1. base management at the beginning of the episode and then battle
  2. or first battle and then some base management?

EDIT: over the weekend I will pre-record 9-10 episodes to cover my christmas break... if you have any wishes/ideas/suggestions/complaints... now's the time to speak up

[DracoGriffin]

Base management first is good for two reasons: lets you remind viewers where you are at and what's going on (time to explain things here and there) as well as refreshing your own memory.

Actually, those may be only useful for live streams, not necessarily for YouTube Let's Plays...

I have no idea.

[Boltgun]

You may want to manage your base first because that's were your mind is the best suited for it. Also you'll remember what you have in stock before combat.

With a simple routine (ie, check research, check the bonny's stock, sell items, add a manufacture list, purchases, expand) you can get it done in a couple of minutes and move on.

I'll chime in that a trip to the memorial wall, and to the barracks to check the stat improvement is nice for those with gals in the game.  I keep screenshots of Ivana's battle setup and stats.

[Arthanor]

Another vote for base then battle. It just feels like a better narrative to the episode to be like "here's where we're at, target in sight, then the conclusion of battle (with maybe a quick look at soldier stats for gains ans recovery times, as that immediately relates to the battle).

[Meridian]

And the Oscar for the cheeeeesiest episode ever caught on camera goes to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha5hl2dLNq4

[ivandogovich]

I freaking love this Cheese! 

[Bloax]

Not quite as cheesy as the whack-a-mole I suggested a while ago.

[Meridian]

Btw. I have compiled a new Christmas soundtrack... the gals are already looking forward to X-mas ;-)

I wanted to use it only in one single episode around Christmas as a surprise... but I thought, maybe I'll ask you too, if you would like to hear it in several episodes... let's say Christmas week and one week before... what do you think?
