Wow, you're really getting close. Would love to see a video. If you don't have a good screen-video-capture tool on hand and you're using a windows based system you can try out CamStudio. It freeware. The UI is kinda clunky and you have to do some funky stuff to get audio recording working right, but it gets the job done.

Woop woop woop =) =) =) Holy Grail challenge completed!
It may not seem that hard just seeing this picture... quite some money left, just build as many holy orders as possible and win... But that was so close multiple times. The micro-managing involved with placing reinforcements, rain of fire, rally points, selling barbarian mead halls at the right time... wha, that was hard.

I'll try to make a video of it coming days using CamStudio but I am not sure how high my succes rate is when trying to repeat what I just did. 30% maybe? =)

Holy [insert favorite expletive here]!!!

I got to the point where I thought it wasn't possible. Well, now I have to double my efforts. If you run into any issues with CamStudio feel free to PM me. I want to see that video up on YouTube ASAP. Congrats.

Thanks guys =)
I practiced for making the video and found out the succes rate is more between like 5% and 10%...
took quite some time to finish it again. Video will be on youtube ASAP now, hopefully by tomorrow ^^

despite my first feelings, it was much, much easier than doing the job with other archer upgrade
their explosives deal ridiculous amount of damage

I'll try doing it without premium
and maybe without (some) upgrades

This is the most boozesome, alcohol-soaked dwarven moradinian warrior cleric that I have ever drank with.
Thank You RaZoR LeAf for Your time and commitment.

Yes that is Yoda. Premium lets you change the reinforcement skins to Mortal Combat, Star Wars, and Street Fighter.

Also, what exactly is the Holy Grail Challenge? The YouTube video doesn't really explain it.

So cute. And lonely :cry: Please visit him. And my other dragons while you're at it. Ok he's actually kinda creepy, but I promise the other one is cuter!

I am sorry, I can't get CamStudio to work. I believed I made a good video capture twice, but both times I got an error when saving, probably because the files were around 3 gigabytes.
No idea how to fix this... might give it another try soon though, you never know :-)

I found that FRAPS works very well for game capture. Sadly when it comes to flash, since we publish without GPU support (it makes the game slower on machines with old vidcards), the FRAPS will only capture the whole screen :(

Yeah, CamStudio is a bit clunky to work with, takes a lot of finessing. I get that weird high gig output sometimes too. I think it only happen the first time you do a capture after that it should work. You might also want to checkout the CamStudio forums they might have some details on how to get around it.
