pepak: I take it what we see in the video is only a small part of what you actually did? As in, you did actually check which skills were available in a University, or which artifacts were stored in the chest, only we didn't get to watch that - we only know that you decided not to go there.
Yes, usually I have a pretty good knowledge of the level or try a few things which don't turn out that great and then don't show that in the recording.
pepak: One place which I do remember is the Tawni map: The original island can be explored much more efficiently, it is in fact possible to give the Seaman's Hat to Tawni on turn two (without losing Tawni's movement points). - When you reached the first barbarian city, I for the life of me couldn't understand why you didn't attack it immediately, instead opting to wait for the next day.
That one was a special case - I mentioned it in the Youtube captions. The enemy would build a Cyclops Cave if I waited one more turn, saving me lots of cash.
pepak: In Emilia's first campaign, the Town Portal can be used much more efficiently if you just block all four squares in front of the closest town; even better, if you block the squares of the second-nearest town, then attack a stack which is located very close to the nearest town.
That's a really nice trick! I didn't know about that one - thanks :)
pepak: Is that why you always save a game, then immediately load it?
The saving / loading points are where I've recorded segments of video and then stitch them together. Notice that the music is disconnected at those points. I usually attempt each segment several times and pick the nicest recording for the final video.
pepak: The frequent loads will play havoc with the score :-(
That's true, but I don't really mind.
