I have been wanting to do this forever, I finally sat down and did it. It took a few hours to record and many more hours to edit, but here it is! The idea behind this video is an explanation and overview of Conquest, how the game mode works, what to watch for and then I try to explain while playing what I am doing, why and how. (In future videos I plan to have a digital keyboard on screen so you can follow along + some drawing tools for extra "tacticool" reasons!)
Want to see more, or something specific? Let me know!
