    Oh, if there was one feature I would LOVED to have on games. Let me move the minimap.
    Personally I prefer the minimap at the right down corner because it is the easiest for me to look fast, and personally I have realy hard time looking fast to the left upper corner. (Few games I don't play have minimap on left upper corner, and that is the only reason.)

    2:32 Are you saying you CAN or CAN'T swap them out? It sounds like you're saying you CAN, but then you say that's why it's to wait to know which one you want to use, which implies that that you CAN'T swap them out...

      Cannot swap them out. At the time you linked, the screen says "Can only use one commander per game".

    • @vahnn0
      @vahnn0 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      DarrenTotalWar I know what the screen said, but it sounded like he said "can swap them out," which, if is indeed what he said, is in conflict with what the text says. That's why I wanted to verify.
      I later watched with captions and saw that he indeed said "can't swap them out," so that settled that.

  • @MacKaris
    @MacKaris 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Everyone's always making videos about the basic mechanics of games, but no one ever makes a video of how to actually WIN the game. What I'd want to see are the actual tactics and the "correct" order in which to build things at the start of the game, and what the enemy will try to do and how you counter that.

    • @RepublicOfPlay
      @RepublicOfPlay  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's too complex that's why. The amount of variations and possibilities are endless, you'd be forever countering your own arguments. This is a beginners guide, sounds like you're looking for intermediate or advanced, but you'd almost need a guide for every unit and every situation. There are some dedicated COH2 channels out there, but they also patch the game every 3-4 months with big balance changes.
