Hey Guys,

I recognize I have a long way to go with content creation.

I've got to work on the "um"s. I edited out some of them, but there's so many. I'm going to try really focus on that next time.

I think I'm going to work on editing in general too. Also I'll take any recommendations as far as microphone and camera into consideration.

To be honest, I almost didn't put this video out. Then as I was going to bed this evening, I was watching this video: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stormgate/comments/1fhh3ek/video_title_stormgate_we_need_to_talk/

In it he says he too, didn't know about gear until my video.

So, as poor as my delivery might be, this actually is information that can be useful to people. So, I'm putting it out there.

All this to say, feedback's appreciated, let me know what you think I should improve. But just know that I'm aware my videos compared to others are um... Let's say they're consistent with Stormgate quality :P. Doesn't mean we can't put in effort to improve it.

On that note, like everyone else I have plenty of criticism about Stormgate, but I think others have done a better job of that already, whereas there's clearly a gap here in terms of discussing some of the things that ARE in the game, especially gear. (Though I also feel that top-bar abilities are under-discussed as well, and I'll get onto that in the future).

Lastly, I go back and forth on where the max-energy upgrade goes. I think I'm still okay with C tier for now, but I might be under-valuing it. The two B-Tier gears both affect the health of all the units you'll be using, whereas at best, the energy upgrade is making a few of your casters a bit better. That said, I haven't used the casters much in this game. I do think that in terms of caster units usually starting energy (remember Khayardin Amulet back in 2011? Also the infestor upgrade as well) and energy regen usually are more powerful upgrades. But, an extra 50% is quite a lot. So, I could be wrong, maybe it's better than I think. This was a tricky one.

Thank you for putting in the hard work to create this video and help teach players about the Gear system!
