Videos from the live chat event about the Shadow Realm Community Expansion (Community)

In June, a live chat event was organized to present progress on the Shadow Realm Community Expansion, discuss its content and also share some of the best content produced by the AoW3 community since the launch of the game. A few dozens people watched the event live and many more watched the 5 video replays of the event on YouTube. The replays present the Shadow Elves, Dark Elves, living Archons, the Shadow Realm layer, the top 20 mods for AoW3, the Wiki, some useful AoW3 YouTube channels, and 2 player vs player battles in the new "Arena" playing mode.

The Shadow Realm Community Expansion & Community Content live chat event was organized as a big event to promote the many excellent content existing for the game (mods, maps, videos, guides, you name it) and let everyone discover the pearls that can significantly boost one's AoW3 experience (for a quick overview, check the trailer of the event). The main attraction of the event was the presentation of the AoW3 Shadow Realm Community Expansion that has been under development for more than a year (see latest article about the expansion) by a team of dedicated volunteers. It was held on June, 24th on the chat of the Battlefield.

3 videos edited and cut to about 30min each makes it possible to watch what was presented even if you missed the live chat. Here is their content:
DISCLAIMER: at the time of the video, the expansion is still in very early stage and not even in alpha stage. Many content will change and be improved.

1st part:
– the leader creation
– the Shadow Realm layer
– the Shadow Elf racial units
– the (living) Archon units
– other great content from Decodence


2nd part:
– 3 new sites: Raven’s Home, Sword of the Ashen Rose, Flame of Grauth
– the Archon units in tactical battle
– the Dark Elf Dwelling


3rd part:
– The Arena Battle Mode, a new mode to play AoW3, focusing on tactical battles
– The 4 mods of the Shadow Realm Community Expansion (or even more)
– Advanced strategies and tactics video: Marcuspers and Hiliadan’s channels, the advanced tutorial playlist
– The Wiki and the excellent guides it contains about the campaigns and tactics and strategies
– Best mods for AoW3


One developer of Triumph Studios was there during the live chat, SikBok, and we had the pleasure to chat a bit with him! About 20 people were watching the stream at some point (and up to 40 people joined in in total according to YouTube's statistics).

The work on the Shadow Realm expansion continues (what was presented was really early stage and many things will change and be improved)! An alpha phase is planned in the coming months.
A big thank goes to the team working on the expansion (see the credits in the 3 videos' descriptions), especially to Charlatan for the huge work he did on Decodence, the foundation of all the expansion, as well as many other elements (like the Dark Elves).
Big thank to Marcuspers too, who helped a lot with the organization and was one of the commentator, for the PvP battles.

Two more videos from the event showcase the new Arena playing mode, but more will come on that in a future article.
