My name is Seren Santiago, and welcome to my KZread channel! This is a channel dedicated to high-quality, lightly-edited professional gaming videos with informed opinions and discussion on the latest games being released. I mainly concentrate on the Strategy genre, but try to cover any game that I feel may capture the attention of the community.
I also create content that is placed under the name 'Seren Santiago Originals'. It is highly edited, scripted content that reviews and discusses the greatest (and not-so-greatest) television shows & movies.
Finally, I livestream on Wednesdays, Fridays, & Saturdays with a more laid-back feel, and with games I typically would not play in videos. These livestreams run together on KZread & Twitch.

Looks good game 😊
dont you take showers
Games looks interesting
I think you don't use cover enough, never ever leave guy standing in an open if there is cover next to him, you do it multiple times for some reason, also when you use cover option you just drag cover like 3 meters, you do understand that they don't shoot anyone farther than that? You need actually drag that cover area all the way....
Nice video! Thanks for playing Crab God♥
🎶🔊🔥
Hands down, one of the best RTS game in recent time, period
Agreed!
This game looks cool I love the series Forged In Fire!
I play Company of Heroes which is very similar. I wish I could zoom out like you can in this game. The inability to zoom out really ruins the game which is why I am looking at Men of War.
I play COH as well, haven't played it near as much since Men Of War 2 came out, zoom feature is a big thing for me in tactical RTS.
adding this to my library
a good decision. hope you enjoy your experience!
Technically a M4 is an assault carbine not a submachine gun.
Not here for the technicalities, just here to have fun. Appreciate the fact, though.
warno changes several things for gameplay reasons.
@@GhilleInTheMist13 So all close-in weapons are 'submachine guns' in game terms? Okay, that sounds reasonable.
@@damagingthebrand7387 you cannot read. WARNO classifies them as submachine guns because they only have 3 classifications for infantry small arms. Battle rifles, submachine guns, and LMGs. BR’s as typical arms, submachine guns for assault troops and close quarters, LMGs for suppression. We’re talking about a video game here, not real life. Of course a weapons that shoots 5.56 isn’t a submachine gun you dimwit.
I was not prepared for the soundtrack and VA XD
Me neither! Love the soundtrack, but it's very jarring when you're strategizing in a wargame setting, haha!
Boot Up Audacity Press Record and wait 5 seconds without making noise and then proceed as normal highlight the first 5 seconds, go to reduce noise level and press the get noise level button highlight the entire audio track go to reduce noise level and then use the saved values you will no longer have that background buzz might be named slightly different, mine is german and I memorized it
Didn't use to have the background buzz, have switched microphones the last couple weeks and it's started since. Still working out those settings, bear with me.
Not lag (latency online), but CPU stutter...
Yo, decided to pop by to let you know the thumbnails are fire, ya keep at that mate. Been long since I've got stopped by one with curiosity
Thanks so much!
Awesome video 😊 thanks for posting. Game looks pretty good.
Thanks for the support! Glad you liked the video.
Hot tip: When you clicked on those weapons at the end and caused the weapon card's background to turn dark blue, that orders the unit to not fire that weapon. If you are wondering why the game gives you the ability to that, it's extremely situational and for the most part any uses for it could be both easier and better handled through alternate means. The only use case that's likely to come-up for it is specifically some Anti-Air units who have a weapon that uses radar but the game has a SEAD tutorial so they will probably teach you about that then (and if not, I can explain it then).
Massive appreciation for the tips there, any and all help is very nice as a new player. Thanks so much! I did originally plan to jump right into the campaign but seeing this makes me rethink that and go on with some more of the tutorials because that may benefit me.
Thx man !🎉
Gadhoo is the BEST!
You didn't die, you WERE the stratagem
I believe you are thinking as I was. The hunting limit seems to be the reverse of what "is normal." It will hunt down to the number you set. If there are 20 animals, and you set it to 15 it will only hunt 5. Not how I thought it would, hunt 15 and stop. I didn't notice this until I happen to hover over the Hunting Limit text in the camp info window. I was running out of food and couldn't figure why.
You are a lifesaver, my friend. That is exactly how I was thinking it was. I'm recorded a bit ahead and we are indeed starting to run low on food for unknown reasons. I will put that tip to good use!
While I don't like it, I believe that Millenia is designed such that you need to keep a good distance between your primary regions (ones that you will have total building control for, which there is a max limit of 8 I think, any more above this cap must remain as vassals). From what I have seen, you need to retain a large tile space around your controllable regions because most of the tiles will be needed for improvements. I do not think there is a workable tile radius limit in Millenia like there is in Civilization, whatever your region has enough influence to acquire is workable. So you want to avoid settling new regions too close to each other or too close to neutrals or AI players if you can avoid it. You are settling a new region (think real-world province or state) that will consist of a capital and several towns, unlike Civilization's single city settles. Due to the 5 tile distance cap for auto creation of roads, you should use a pioneer to bridge the gap between you regions to get roads, once the border of one of your regions expand to touch the outpost's border, you can absorb the outpost into that region's control. In your video, it would have been better to escort your settler with one of your armies to a better spot further from your starting region that is also not too close to a neutral region. If your starting region is too close to neutral regions, then maybe it would be better to use envoys to vassalize them rather than using a settler to create your own vassal region from scratch.
All good feedback that I'll try to incorporate. Thanks for your comment!
Looks like 15k bitrate isn't enough
Eh, pastures are for sheep, farms are for grains. Settlers don't seem all that good to me, you create a new region but it's just a vassal (like a puppet in civ) which you have no control of at all, at least for the human player. Having to integrate the region you spent your government points for on the settler in order to get control over it costs extra it seems.
Still early, but as I've played on it seems that extra settlements start out vassalized but you get the benefits from them (extra money, production, etc) - but yes I do see what you're seeing that it costs extra to integrate.
looks cool
And thus a new chapter is born in this legacy of Rimworld

There is just so many conversations in this game
Agreed. Love the game, love its setting, but the conversations get a bit monotonous and long-winded.
Thanks so much for the video, Seren! Glad you enjoyed it - and happy to see the AI provided a strong challenge! Hope to see you bring a friend next time so you can team up and crush those bots :)
It's dogsh!t at the moment.
Looks Great! Looking forward to the release!
Thanks a lot for playing Reus 2, did you have fun?
I had an absolute blast!
I recommend you cut through the video and not make the viewers wait with you throught wait screens.
I agree. Had issues with the edit on this one.
Looks promising.
Good luck in your journey! Keep the videos coming.
I think it would serve you better if you used lines more. You're just kind of clumping up your guys and they're getting surrounded by the British, letting them put several regiments of guns on your troops while you can only fire once. Also, you can order retreats, which makes your guys hightail it out of there, so you don't need yo wait for them yo route.
Really nice advice, thanks! Also was unaware of being able to call retreats, that's definitely going to help.
@@SerenSantiago No problem I saw someone play ultimate general civil war a while back and that's what they did is they did the line battle strategy and it tended to work for them, I haven't tried it myself during my playthrough of ultimate general civil war though that game was still rough. What you want to do is you want to try and create a horseshoe pattern putting the enemies on the inside of the horseshoe That way you can have more guns focused on the enemy than they can have on you. If you can't do that then generally you just match them line for line If you can. But because your regiments are smaller it's harder for you to match the British especially because they have lower morale. I'd recommend leaving spaces between your lines so your regiments aren't shoulder to shoulder but have gaps between them to artificially inflate the size of your line because I don't know if regiments have like a benefit to being shoulder to shoulder, This would probably only be good in the early game where you're trying to keep the British from surrounding you. Though because your regimens are smaller in size they should be more mobile which could help out if your getting surrounded if you move one of your smaller regiments to the side to try and flank the British because I do know that if you get shots into the side of an enemy regiment or even better if you can shoot them in the back that will absolutely destroy their morale and does a whole lot more damage to them. Also use cover, don't just sit your guys out in the middle of the field unless you have to. You had a couple occasions where you could have moved your guys into tree line which would have given you an advantage and made your guys last longer against the British. Keep Your guys in cover and deny the British access to cover. You also want to avoid melee with the British, They are much better prepared for melee and historically anytime the British charged the colonial army it was basically a death sentence for the Americans. I don't know if that's going to be how it is in this game, But I do know that ultimate general's melee is super swingy so just try to keep your guys from charging in unless you have like a 2:1 advantage and you're trying to completely route the enemy, Because if I remember right if you route the enemy and you were standing right on top of them you actually capture the enemy unit and you then just send that captured enemy unit all the way to your back line and then by the end of the battle you have them as prisoners and you sell the prisoners back and you get money and other important supplies, at least that's how that worked in ultimate general civil war. Now if the enemy charges in there's not a whole light can do to stop that I recommend just have the unit getting charged fire at them as well as the two units next to them on either side fire in as well basically have the enemy takes so much damage and so much fire out once that they route and run away. One more thing, when an enemy or your own unit is being routed I think they take extra damage to being fired upon and if they take too much damage while being routed they will straight up just disband they leave The unit is destroyed, it'll reform at the end of the battle but a lot of your troops and a lot of your guns are going to be gone So do not let your unit get routed because you run the risk of them not coming back for the rest of the battle, And I'm pretty certain that if a unit is routed it will take extra damage for the period it's routed, So if you see an enemy route focus fire them as much as you can. Ordering them to retreat still means that they will take extra damage but they run away at the speed of a route and you can order them to retreat immediately after they get shot at to avoid them taking more damage from continued fire, ordering them to retreat is better than letting them rout on their own I tried playing ultimate general civil war and let me tell you it sucked, It was rough the whole time and I did not finish the game.
<3 <3 <3
Before you finish this, absolutely play Breath of the wild! You will be too confused on what's going on
I definitely don't disagree! However, knowing myself, it will take me way too long to finish it.
Zhatan was my favorite CD campaign.
Astragoth was my favorite coming into this. As I play more of this campaign, Zhatan is becoming more of a favorite!
Sucks that its not voice acted.
I wish it was too. Was a lot of reading. I think it will probably be like their previous games and have aspects that are voice acted and parts that are not. Guess we'll have to wait til full release to find out.
@@SerenSantiago True but having it not be voiced also allows them to put in more dialouge and more text. Aswell as having alot more choices in dialouge. Since they wont have to hire voice actors to say every single word they put on the screen.
You are right about that. More dialogue, choice options are definitely a nice upside of it not being voice acted. Guess we'll have to wait and see!
Awesome video! Watching on my lunch. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed.
After a few dozen hours in-game it seems like we’re in for a great game. I hope December 7th turns out to be a positive release.
I agree. Have had fun with the few hours I've had with the beta, and no real issues so far during that time. Really trying to save all my time for the full release, then going all in to play through a campaign at that point.
Love th new map! Hope you have fun!
I am having a blast! Rekindled my love for the game.
If you've been around the gaming scene for longer that 2 seconds, you'll know very well by now that a "release date" that's six months away is far from an "official" statement. This is nothing more that a PR exercise, using pretty much the same type of footage they had already shown before. 12,000 titles came out on Steam in 2022 alone, and that amount will most likely be beaten again in 2023. That means over 6,000 games will release between now and April 26, 2024... at which point (and assuming they don't announce delays, and/or that the game does not end up being a hot mess) it'll still be only an Early Access release. In other words, there's really no point in getting hyped any time soon.
Cynicism meets optimism. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I respectfully disagree with every bit of what is in your comment.
The only game where you can play cybernetically enhanced pirate squirrels whose population is made up of enslaved humans and eat other aliens nuts as delicacies. I'll let you decide exactly what kind of nuts they are. Edit: Awwh he changed the portrait 😔
This is my favorite comment I've received in my time as a creator. In hindsight, I should have left the portrait as is. Too late now, but yeah that's one thing I would've done differently.
