Lt Nixon's COMPLETE Guide to Archers

Here is my Complete Archer Guide. I spent ALOT of time making this so I hope everyone likes it. It's great for beginners and veterans alike. If you have a friend that's just getting into the game, this is a great video to start them off on. I will be posting more guides on other troops in the future base on the popularity of this video and if people like it.

Let me know if there is anything I could have done better, as you guys are my best critiques when it comes to this stuff.

Hey Ltnixon. Great guide and commentary as always. There is one thing I would like to comment that you might want to consider for future videos. The detailed break-down of the HTK charts is helpful, but a bit overdone. I lost interest and started skipping around once you got to the Archer Towers' analysis. It will save your and the viewers' time if you just breakdown the first chart, then briefly display the other ones without too much analytic commentary. Those that are that interested will either pause or go on wiki.

Overall, very well-done video. Looking forward to your next ones. :)

I agree the HTK was long.

I'd think a goblin educational video would be interesting as many people have different theories how to use them

Really good i enjoyed that and yes I started nodding off in the HTK section...but aside from that well done, you have a very clear and easy to follow voice.

Great job! Very well-put, especially the TKO's for separate buildings. Goblins for next? I think they take more skill to use, when the barbarians you basically just spam with them.

The HTK is something that I figure most people will skip through. It's nice to have it there for those who want to reference it later. "How many shots did it take to kill that troop again?", then they can just look it up.

Chief Pat had a good idea, Put them in a PDF and link to it in the description. This would make it easy for people to reference later.

The only reason I left it is for new people. When I was new, I was still getting used to the look of all the different defenses. I felt lost. I think it's nice to help people that aren't used to that yet, to help them get their groove.

HAHA, thanks, Daddy! I'm glad I didn't COMPLETELY put you to sleep (that was a close one!) :P

I agree with you on the Goblin skill. It will be fun to put together. Right now the majority of comments on the video are pointing towards Barb. We'll see how it plays out over the next week.

Thanks again you guys for all the comments. Keep the criticism coming, I want to get better!

It's ok, Daddy, My wife fell asleep during our first date. It was during Fast and the Furious at the movie theater. No hard feelings at all, brother.

Sometimes I watch Youtube videos to fall asleep at night.

Good video. I'd focus a little less on htk next time. Just showing the graph is enough. No need to explain each level entirely. Keep up the good work

Wait, wouldn't you have lvl 6 mortars at TH 8? Unless you upgrade your town hall prematurely, you should have level 6 mortars, unless I read that wrong.

It's funny, on the forums I'm getting a unanimous "shorten the htks" and on YouTube there are a lot of messages saying thank you for spelling it out for me. It seems to me that all this info is common knowledge around here and maybe less known through some of the folks who found it via YouTube. I'll have to try a mixed approach maybe to make everyone happy. Either way, it's all good feedback. Thank you.

haha, that sounds pretty right.
People who frequent the forum tend to be more knowledgable and are the kind that go researching on their own.
Whereas for youtube.. haha

Lol, I'm using an iphone man. small keypad :p

Alright. Which would be better for the HTK section?

1. A link to a .PDF of all the HTK info

2. A second video split from the first where I go through it for new people with a link to it at the end of the 1st vid

So 9 minutes of HTK slides is ok?

The 9 minutes of HTK could be handled better I think. I think you should just hit the most important HTK numbers (L5 can survive L4 mortar shots, L4 archers can't, etc) and then mention that you've got a more thorough HTK appendix at the end of the video.
