Hey all, I`m S_SoulReaver from the good old AnacondaS Klan from Total Annihilation, I was an replay addicted, spending many saturday nights up to 4 am just watching TA replays. Also I love racing and casted a lot of virtual races. I`m enjoying playing and watching FA now, and want to cast this torney just for the sake of it.

Already got most of games IDs, just have to get my recording software and the game spec to work in harmony and I`ll be good to go.

It will take a while until all games are uploaded, a long while as my upload is not the best, and there`s a lot of games to cover. I`m not sure if I`ll make it to the finals, but I`m sure I`m going to try.

If anyone else is interested in casting theese games and want the IDs, here`s what I gathered so far:

Thank you Voodoo for the biggest Nomads tournament so far, and to all participants!

Please post your feedback in the Nomads forum wether it is about balance concerns, bugs, abilities questions, or feedback about the new sounds (they are not definitive, we are currently trying to add custom sounds) or the fx.

[S_SoulReaver]

Well, captured around 13 games so far, almost half of them, this don`t wear me out as I thought it would, and the games are really short. Just couldn`t get enough.

Still will take a while to encode them and upload. But be sure that I`ll finish casting them all.

Thanks guys for playing and Voodoo for hosting. It was very nice to see the players learning how to play with Nomads. The replays will help a lot to develop the faction further. And thanks SoulReaver for casting!

@S_SoulReaver, some more replay IDs:

D Apofenas vs InTIMIEtator789
1946459

AE 1946778 VladDracula vs manread*
I think this one should be 1946730, not 1946778

AR Silient vs Syst_Failure
1947720

AS Mr.Smith vs Syst_Failure
1947845

Thanks for the help, some replays were impossible for me to find.

Uploading the first batch tonight. I have the first match uploaded already, but this one the sound was way to low, and the game was hard on Frames, I changed a lot of configurations for the next replays. Meanwhile, casted all 2 rounds of the upper bracket and half of the first lower bracker round. Gonna cast more tonight. Anyway, almost half of the games were casted already. Thanks for the maps wich had a lot of resources, the games were very quick. It`s just amazing how much can help in just 10 minutes in a SupComm 1x1.

[S_SoulReaver]

Well, here is the first match, with all the problems I said above, and below, a test I made for the new settings, I want a resolution that you can actually see the mass and energy income when watching the video on YT.

[S_SoulReaver]

Finished recording the R2 of the Lower Bracket, and the Upper Bracket R2 was done before that.

24 games down, 18 to go.

And encoded 15 games already, going to put them to upload when I go to sleep, they should be up tomorrow, at least some, not the best upload speed.
