    I was thinking about what would help a person new or less experienced at forge to learn and get better.

    I came up with this idea.
    A really experienced forger from FH could capture themself building a whole map, with all the complicated techniques. This might help alot of people. How better to learn than watch someone better than you work?

    Share your thoughts!

    I think maybe a whole map would be hard to capture since they're often done over long stretches of time with a lot of breaks etc, not to mention the time taken to make a map that would display all of the techniques. IMO it would have to be at least 5-10 hours long to really fulfill this role and that would be unreasonable.

    But I do think that video demonstrations, really in depth ones, are a great idea and I would have found this invaluable when I started. Maybe something more along the lines of a video or collection of videos for each technique. I know FH already have video tutorials on youtube but some more would be great, especially more foundry oriented ones. I agree they would have to be in depth, like showing multiple different scenarios for interlocking and floating etc, with a focus on how to use guides effectively and suchlike. I also think that a practical application of techniques would be better than just an explanation, maybe a video that shows how to build a large structure using many techniques and scenarios would be good.

    Great idea, I hope it takes off.

    Yeah i agree with this mabey we can get someone to make multiple videos of building small things like a sniper tower or a base or something so people can see what they want without watching the rest of the video.

    yh i suppose a whole map would be hard.. well just what the others said, small parts of the map in detail, that would be great. anyone willing to do it?
