  1. Well, obviously it was easy for ME to understand :). But to someone who doesn't know, I'm not sure. TBH though, I don't think anyone who hasn't completed calculus 2 will understand anything in the video, so I'd rather not bore those who can follow along.
  2. You mean starting at x=m? But yeah, Riemann sums are a good way to introduce the concept on integrals. However, since I'm going to be integrating irrational functions, I think I'm going to just call integration a type of operation that changes one function to another, and explain in terms of position, velocity, time.
  3. Oh yeah, sorry. I recorded it but the file corrupted, and then I moved twice and forgot about it. Let me see if I can't rig something up and record another one today (but it will be a couple days before upload, because of my terrible upload speed rn).
  4. By the way, here is my progress for "You'll Bring ELO to Us All" This is what you think makes a good deck? I’m sorry: you’re a fool. Put all these cards back o’er there Into the card pool. What is this? You can’t play Dreadnought and Giant Wyrm along with Death Ray Don’t you know that orbs don’t work that way? Give free ELO to us all. Let’s remove Grim Bahir, Grimvine, Overlord, and Fire Sphere. Take my guidance, you don’t want fourth tier. Give free ELO to us all. Let’s start with a noble faction And build a deck with flair. You’ll need a strong tier one: With these seven slots take care! You want cards with low cost: Thugs, scavenger, sunstriders. Add mortar tower and a sunderer. No free ELO for us all. There’s only two more cards you lack To finish your tier one: The Infused Firesworn And handy eruption. The song being parodied is
  5. @Navarr so I heard you're good at music Any chance you'd be interested in writing your own instrumental version of this (so we don't have to copy from the YT video) or making professional quality vocals? (@Skytrias not that I'm not impressed by your singing, but I don't think your recordings are quite studio quality yet.) (Also, I already have Beta access because I'm an alpha tester, so even though I wrote the lyrics and will probably compile the visuals, whoever does the best job with audio can have my ticket if this wins) I'm also making a lot of progress on the "You'll Bring Honor to us All" parody, and I think I like those lyrics even better. Hopefully I'll post the finished lyrics within a week.
  6. So hey, now this might be worth beta access now
  7. @Treim ah No, I was thinking maybe 15 questions, with only a few faction specific questions that are all t1. There are some cards that should be considered core (esp in PvP) like surge of light or master archers.
  8. You've been on the forums a very long time and I've never heard you express this problem. On the other hand, I've never noticed your English being so bad. Someone else posting on your account? But yeah, for the quiz I'm thinking just basic decision-making scenarios, and a few faction-specific questions to deal with common noob problems, like simple ways to not get destroyed by nomads/sunderer/frost mage.
  9. Yes, that menu was very helpful. But I'm not sure how it would help teach gameplay mechanics, other than perhaps a more detailed explanation of what the card details mean.
  10. Well . . . no. It depends on the position, but I'd say 8 times out of 10, you'd want to double erupt (in t2). Also, 140 power extra should not be enough to drop 2 wells (again, in t2. In t1, sure, but idk why you have 140 power in your void while you're in the middle of an attack. In the scenarios where you played well and are in a position to spend 140 power to double erupt, you win most of them). But in the stated question, your opponent rebuilds the well, which puts him at an unquestionable disadvantage.
  11. Well, the GOAL is to make players look up the answers on the internet. It's supposed to be a teaching tool, not a reward for knowing stuff. When I was a new player, I grasped orbs and wells very quickly because those are essential to playing the game. It was over year before I figured out what the letters on the bottom of the card mean (thanks, @tbpeti ). It's possible to play (albeit poorly) without understanding void power and size counters. The quiz would just be a simple way to re-introduce these ideas once the player has mastered basics of how to physically play the game. Possible quiz questions (multiple choices answer) might include: Q: You are playing nature, and a fire player rushes straight at you with nomads. What should you do? A: Use roots to stop them and snipe with windweavers. Q: You are even, but your opponent's well has 500 hp. You use 2 eruptions for 140 power, and your opponent rebuilds the well for 100 power. Who is winning now? A: You, because you receive 126 void power back, and your opponent receives no power back. Q: True or False: Dazed units are summoned with half health, so you must heal them. A: False: Summoning sickness reduces the maximum HP bar of a unit (and thus a heal does nothing); if the unit is still alive after summoning sickness is over, the unit receives half its health back
  12. My opinion as well. The tutorial map left out so much important stuff. Hopefully we'll be able to remedy this with youtube videos though. I wonder if there could be some sort of quiz that new players get, maybe after a few weeks or a month of playing? Thinks like "What is voidpower" and "what are unit counters" and small bfp rewards for right answers.
  13. I'm starting on another one . Only have the 1st stanza though, so feel free to contribute! The idea is that we're fixing up someone's deck so they get better (ELO like ranking points, pronounced EE-loh). Replace "you'll bring honor to us all" to "you'll bring ELO to us all." To the tune of Mulan's "You'll Bring Honor to us All" You'll Bring ELO to us all This is what you think makes a good deck? I'm sorry, you're a fool. Put all these cards back o'er there Into the card pool. EDIT: added 2 more What is this? You can’t play Dreadnought and Giant Wyrm along with Death Ray Don’t you know that orbs don’t work that way? You’ll earn ELO for us all. Let’s remove Skycatcher, Grim Bahir and Skyelf Commander Take my guidance, you don’t want tier 4. You’ll earn ELO for us all.
  14. Oh, if you plan on still doing it, that's fine. I don't think it would be too confusing to input from 2 players though (so if someone else wants to add input, go for it). I just thought you were dropping it.
  15. Hey, that's pretty good! To be clear, the lyrics are as follows : Amazons and a half dozen treespirits, Hurricanes that toss all S units near it. Knocking back units with red razorshards, These are a few OP Nature-Frost caaaards! Frosty aggressors with L unit knockback, Homesoil buffs to my ranged units’ attack. Fighting off beasts with a fleet of stone shards, These are a few OP Nature-Frost caaaards! Timeless ones, tremors, and silverwind lancers. Shield building for the most defensive answer. Curse well and Brannoc if feeling try-hard These are a few OP Nature-Frost caaaards! When the mortars strike, When the juggers charge, When I'm feeling mad: I simply recall the OP stonekin cards, and then I don't flame so bad. (repeat)
  16. @RadicalX Thank you! I shall be sure to add your comments to the guide. Your approval means a lot to me, especially since I've never played a single game of Pure Nature @QuickSilver Thanks! I think I wrote it wrong one time and then referred back to the first time I wrote it Should be fixed in my word doc now!
  17. Alright guys, updated this to include Pure Nature! Looking for someone to help with that section @dekka @Darian DelFord. Since I updated the entire thing, the formatting went bad. Sorry about that. Things are fine on my Word file though, and I'll export that to a PDF when I finish.
  18. Wow, hard to believe there's only 5 factions left! And yes, this post means I'm basically done with Pure Nature, so I'm looking for a strong Pure Nature player to write the "evolution of the deck" section. (btw, @LagOps, have you had a chance to work on the Bandits matchups? @Mental Omega You also seem quite knowledgeable about bandits, if you want to help a brother out). I know I haven't posted anything about my guide for a while, so for those new forum members who don't know about it, here's a link: Rather than just asking people on my status about what faction I should do next (because it's basically always @Ultrakool and a few other people who vote ) I'm going to make a poll! I'll use this same poll for the rest of the guide. I made it so you can vote multiple times. If you want 2 factions covered equally, then go ahead and vote for 2. Otherwise, just vote for one and then vote for the next one after I finish that section of the guide Thanks!
  19. @Urgonar I found an instrumental version on youtube, so you could sing along to that.
  20. Alright, I think I have my streaming schedule set up. @YaBro0 and I will try to stream every Sunday and Tuesday at 8:00 P.M. GMT. That's 3:00 for central US and 10:00 for Germany.

    Sunday streams will be at: https://www.twitch.tv/Eirias_BFR

     

    Tuesday streams will be at: www.twitch.tv/battleforgecom
