Thanks for the suggestion, Dan.

You're welcome!

Yesterday I tried the Screen Recorder. It's very easy to use, but makes only few settings possible (almost nothing, you just hit the "Start" and it records the whole area of the screen, real-time). I recorded a game which lasted almost half an hour, and the result was a 176 MB avi file. Maybe a bit large, especially if you'd like to record and archive all the competition games you play.

I certainly agree about the simplistic approach. I don't have access to it where I am at the moment, so can't check for sure, but you can at least specify a video codec to use and a frame rate which may help to reduce the overall file size. I haven't had a problem with storage so far even after recording most of the games I either played or hosted from the base-game league and the World Cup last year, as well as a handful of weekly games. They take up maybe 5 - 10gb between them which is nothing really by today's standards; 32gb USB stick for £8.97 anyone?

So, after that, I searched for other free screen recording softwares on the net, and ran into CamStudio. It's way more complex than Screen Recorder, has a lot of options and settings for recording. E.g. you can define a particular area of the screen, or select a given window to record, you can add a time stamp to the video, but what is more important, it is possible to make time-lapse videos: for this you can set how often the recorder will capture frames and how many frames it will include in one second. I've been experimenting with the settings today, the latest recording with 7x timelapse became a 22 MB file, but I assume it could be even smaller with even more sophisticated settings. So far it's very promising.

That sounds excellent, I look forward to seeing the results!

Yellow vs Leven.

Leven · « **Reply #92 on:** January 23, 2015, 05:41:01 PM »

My game against Yellow was again a very exciting one. For a long time it was a head to head match. In the first half of the game Yellow successfully finished some medium and big cities, gaining plenty of trade goods. so in the second half of the game I was focusing on getting the majority on the main farm. In the end I succeeded (luckily I drew some proper tiles), while Yellow had no more followers for the last 20 tiles.

If you are interested, you can watch the whole game on video (made by CamStudio).
(Switch to HD for better quality.)

Good stuff Leven. Thanks for sharing.

MrNumbers vs. zone2 - 172:157.
Very high-tensed game! Only 6 trade tokens were claimed.

MrNumbers vs. Farin - 198:146.
Used my favorite trapping technique quite much

Here comes the newest x-list.

Included all the games from 24 01 2015
--------------------------------------------
zone2 and Hounk have played all their 8 games against theire opponents.

NrNumers and Jerè have to play only one game left - both against their opponent quevy.

farin · « **Reply #98 on:** January 26, 2015, 02:16:08 PM »

Leven 162 - 138 Farin

My first game in league which was not about trade goods but about farm majority.

Leven · « **Reply #99 on:** January 26, 2015, 03:34:45 PM »

And here is the time-lapse video of the game:
It could have easily ended the other way. With some luck I was able to prevent Farin from equalizing the number of farmers on the main farm, and finally this was the key for the victory.

Hounk · « **Reply #100 on:** January 27, 2015, 02:31:06 AM »

Very interesting to watch, thank you. But it is at times a little difficult to see, where farin put his tiles, because of the time laps and you did not mark the last placed tiles with the "x" key.

For the last 24 tiles it was turned on, but yes, I forgot to use it from the beginning, sorry.

Hounk · « **Reply #102 on:** January 27, 2015, 09:44:12 AM »

No reason to be sorry about that. I just mentioned it.

kettlefish · « **Reply #103 on:** January 29, 2015, 10:57:06 AM »

Here comes the newest x-list.

Included all the games until 29 01 2015

It was only one game played since my last x-list.
--------------------------------------------
Stats League B:
zone2 and Hounk have played all their 8 games against theire opponents.
League points 18 to 12
The total players score points of both are 217 points different 1530 to 1313, but together they received 2843 points.
---------------------------------------
Stats League A - total players score from danisthirty and Rosco 1400 to 1407, but together they received 2807 points - that means League A has 36 points less than League B.
I used only the players who finished all their games.
---------------------------------------
NrNumers, Jerè and Leven have to play only one game left - all against their opponent quevy.
farin has to play against Yall and against Yellow. And they all need to play against quevy.
