RevCast- a podcast all about CivRev

[elthrasher]

I'm looking to listen to that later today. Nice subject

Continue the good job!

It will be fun to watch because, I've been trying the legion rush in a good couple of my last h2h match. I've been pure random for a while so I can experiment with different civs. So far, Rome, India, Spain, Germany have been good at it. I'm starting to think that I should try it with Greece too.

I hadn't thought about Greek legion rush, but you could probably have 10+ hammers pretty fast in Athens. Might be worth a try. But with the Greeks, you might want to back that up with Navigation for delivery and pick up Mathematics along the way. Wouldn't a catapult rush (defended by hoplites) be better? I guess you could use both cats and legions.

Glad you liked the episode. I'm hoping to cultivate a reputation as "smartest RevCast co-host" by correctly identifying Erlenmeyer flasks as the means by which science output is measured.

If you've got the hills, then legions work (after construction) if you have a galley to delivery them already. Else, yeah running up to Nav. for the free galleon is good. But then I'd add 1 cat army to 2-3 legion armies. Use the cat's to beat down the tough defenses, then legions for clean up.

[SVPM]

I just thought about something listenning to the Cast. Why put a new feature like the scenario editor on the Ipad version. Do you think it could be because they wanted to try this feature to check the feed-back of the community to possibly put it in a upcoming CivRev2...

Take heed. Regular co-hosts Grayson "Grayson" Middlebrook, Matt "elthrasher" Morgan, Rob "the headless 10" and six others lead the RevCast (RC) panel in its twenty-first episode entitled "Attention Span"; now netcasting, it has a runtime of 29m59s. The show's third production of archived segments, the summary of topics is as follows:

- 00m59s | Topic #1
On Civilization: Revolution's Downloadable Content (DLC) from publisher 2K Games and developer Firaxis Games.
- 03m40s | Topic #2
Reflecting on the Civilization series under both the PC and console platforms.
- 14m29s | Topic #3
Preferred Wonders of the World to be built in CivRev.
- 17m48s | Topic #4
What buildings are of priority to construct in the game.
- 20m12s | Topic #5
Considering the desirability of graduated lobbies for multiplayer.
- 23m52s | Topic #6
Advice for using armies in CivRev.

- Intro/Outro | Miscellaneous
What was once said is not so.

RevCast is the second spin-off of the Civ strategy-centric PolyCast; the modding-centric ModCast was the first such spin-off. Unlike either of its older siblings, RC has no defined segment categories.

How much does it influence the equation. Regular co-hosts Matt "elthrasher" Morgan and Rob "the headless 10" are joined by guest panelist Brett "TyShine" Ferguson in its twenty-second episode entitled "The Spite Factor"; now netcasting, it has a runtime of 29m59s. The summary of topics is as follows:

- 02m22s | Topic #1
Introducing Civilization: Revolution's Egyptians, the latest "Civ of the Month".
- 06m46s | Topic #2
Chances and risks in Egypt's Ancient Era.

- 17m00s | Topic #5
An extended consideration of the Ancient Wonders of the World in CivRev and their significance for Egypt.
- 22m31s | Topic #6
All facets of defending against this latest "Civ of the Month".

- Intro/Outro | Miscellaneous
Guest greetings and close calls.

[Grayson]

sounds nice guys!

I randomly checked into the forums tonight for the first time in a few days, and say that dan had just announced the new revcast was out. It's the first one in a while that I didn't know what was in it, and I really enjoyed the listen. Tyshine did a great job for his first episode.

The only thing I was disappointed at was no inclusion of a dominating Stonehenge strategy. Why are you guys holding out on us?

[Hellogoodbye123]

i actually laughed out loud, had some funny parts, i couldnt tell who was who... except tyshine, which i always thougt it was tysheeeen .. a double ee, instead of a nine sound, can i request france if u havent done that civ? i want to hear about the gp..

[dukeblue1987]

Haha it's fun to listen to you guys. Not that I really learn anything at this point, but it gives me a few laughs.

The only thing I was disappointed in was that you didn't include spies for countering the Colossus! This works best against noob players of course.

It is absolutely hilarious to watch them rage quit once you burn down their library and trading post.

Oh, you just went from 64 science to 16? I'm so sorry! At least you have 1 other city to help you out...

ive tried that, usually they got tthe free spy, with free wallls,, which sucks

[dukeblue1987]

Yes. But a lot of times they tech jump writing straight to COL because they really want that trading post.

That's when you know you have them

Plus, you can get the free spy for getting a tech you need anyways!

[FF-GTR]

Yes. But a lot of times they tech jump writing straight to COL because they really want that trading post.

What the heck do they use for their 5th tech?!?

[dukeblue1987]

What the heck do they use for their 5th tech?!?

I think they are usually more concerned with the trading post rather than being in republic.

In other words, they don't care as long as Thebes is making 1000 science a turn.

Hopefully you'll be able to come on the show again as a guest in the future.

Depending upon the knowledge and experience of whose listening, if we're able to inform, entertain, or at least one of the two when it comes to Civ on the show, all is well.

France was the second civ we did. We read your fan mail on that show. Episodes 15 & 16.

How do you get "sheeeen" from "shine"? That's an actual word in English, you know.

[MadDjinn]

Wat bedoel je daarme Hallovaarwel123?
Je ne parle pas cinq languages...quatre, mais seulement un peu, donc pas trop bien.
Und mein deutsch ist auch nicht so gar güt, aber sprechen geht besser wie schreiben
Of course English shouldn't be that hard to write and talk.

A blast of select mistakes from the past. Then RevCast regular co-hosts Annalee "Cartimandua" Barney, Joe "joebreeves" Reeves and Alexander "Alexander" Strub are joined by four guest panelists through flubs, dubs and other moments gone awry in the show's first of two blooper reels from its first season; it has a runetime of 04m59s.

RC is the second spin-off of the Civ strategy-centric PolyCast; the modding-centric ModCast was the first such spin-off. Unlike either of its older siblings, RevCast has no defined segment categories; its second season is ongoing throughout the 2010 calendar year.

[Hellogoodbye123]

do russia then

I actually went back and listened to the first few episodes... I think most of them were bloopers! I was laughing a lot at things they were saying.

2% gold for americans being the thing they bring up about them? seriously?

1/2 price barracks for the germans!!@ wt*... ok, one person mentioned the upgrade, but otherwise they seemed all impressed on the 1/2 cost barracks thing.

50% gold production being a good thing to rush units with. apparently they didn't notice the 50% increase in cost!

it just kept going. good times

[elthrasher]

Dan's the editor and owner of the show. I'm the lead co-host, the guy who invites guests. You may consider the request noted.

[MadDjinn]

then maybe YOU, should be on the show, and correct eveyopnes mistakes.. how about it dan ??? hmmm

ha! asked the wrong person

besides, I'm talking way back, first few episodes before grayson/thrasher et al got into it.

[HydroDragon]

Listened to the first 2. It's kind of funny, but makes me want to bang my head against a wall more than anything....I think I'll skip the early ones...

I skipped ahead to the ones with Elthrasher and Grayson. Whew, sanity returns. I'll watch all the strat-related ones.

[HydroDragon]

Any idea when the next episode will be available?

I enjoyed the more recent ones, especially the ones focusing on specific civs. I already knew most of the stuff, but there were some things I didn't know and it's nice to refresh one's memory in any case.

[DanQ]

Any idea when the next episode will be available?

The aim is for later this month towards making up for missed outings earlier in the year.

[sn1p3rk1ll3]

if the well of inspiration runs dry, maybe discuss some players and their unique styles and tactics...maybe we will finally learn how to become Morte's ourselves one day...

There are certainly a number of CivRev civs left to be given the show's in-depth treatment which will likely be a continual focus. Beyond that, rather than a player's game 'style' specifically, further examination of particular strategies not necessarily tied to a given civ -- that can perhaps be... associated with one or more individuals -- is a definite possibility too.
