I've been making a recorded play through of The Dark Lord's campaign. It should be viewable by clicking on the following link, which will direct you to the playlist.

Hey Ben! Thanks for the YouTube videos, it's always nice to see people play stuff you made. And I also like that you're not playing everything on high speed.
- The first attack in mission 1 isn't bugged, although you broke it by killing a soldier just before the attack was launched (I should fix this). This caused a group of axe fighters to not join the battle and so the battlefield seemed more 'empty' and you killed the green army more quickly (my intention was that the black army starts its attack a little before green is dead). I did it this way because I really hate it when all soldiers attack at once and the battlefield is just a big traffic jam.
- In mission 5 you were struggling with a group of bowmen on the cliff and wondering about the range/angle. The reason your bowmen didn't fire back is because the area was still unexplored. This was changed in the Remake quite a while ago and also applies to multiplayer!
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Hey don't worry about any criticism, I want TNL tot be perfect and that includes the briefings. They were actually 'translated' to old English by Lewin, so no coincidence there. I'll do soms research tot find out more about this whole 'ye' thing.
Ben, I love those casts you're doing. Would you be willing to offer some of the replays for download? I used to play KaM as a kid and now I've discovered the remake. Being able to study closely the mechanics of the good players would help me a lot.
Is the game still alive, multiplayer-wise?
I see that there are only a few people posting regularly here, which seems to be a shame.
