    Casters - which programs do you use? and how reliable is it? I often have games crashing on me during recording after the game. and if it's vs AI, that's the game lost.

    I find the after action report casts to be the most difficult. I do know what is going to happen, but sometimes it's a challenge to remember at which point what happens. Sometimes I'll say "such and such is about to happen" but that actually happens in a few minutes.

    It's actually the most easy. Admittedly the current state of the game means we don't have any proper replays, however you load up the replay, speed through at max speed and work out where the big fights are, and where people die and this allows you to commentate without missing the important parts and highlighting the clever plays that determined how the game played out.

    That's why you should take notes with timestamps.

    During gameplay? No thanks. I have enough going on as it is while I'm playing.

    No, during your pre-cast viewing of the material.

    Yeah. That's when I'm playing.

    I think you've missed the point of what I said earlier. And no, it isn't, because you're playing and have a FoW.

    I would also prefer it if strategic icons were set to always render.
