Frapped games
This page is a sample of Allegiance games that players have frapped. Videos which are added to this page are chosen for their accompanying commentary which delve into tactics, as opposed to ones which just "show off" Allegiance.
Note Some videos which "show off" Allegiance are linked to on the screenshots page.
Capture method
I run a 3.0ghz computer with a HD 4870 video card. 4 gigz of ram and the Alpha Allegiance Graphics Client. I never get any slow down except during pretty large prox clouds. I do randomly crash from time to time but that seems to have more to do with the Alpha than Alleg and fraps at the same time. I actually run my ts off another computer now and just pop on as a guest on the computer I fraps on to record everone's chatter including my own. It takes me about 90-120 minutes to compress the average squad game down to something smaller than the 7 gigs or whatever they start out as. I run my Fraps at full size and 30fps. I believe I have version 2.95 but I will check later.

SF+GB vs SysX, 24th May 2009
This video is from our friendly game vs SF/GB this past weekend. TF vs Bios. Its only 22 minutes long because I had a random crash so I didn’t bother to shrink it in high quality. This is just so you can see an idea of our opening tactics this past weekend. I forgot to record TS in this video as well.
As you can see SF did a bios op/carrier(1/3 cost of a tech base…) push right at the start. I would say they over defended their con and underdefended their miners because they left a gap in their defensive lines that let 2 scouts strike from the sky my brothers and kill their miner.
My bold tp con push midhigh based on how many people they had defending their op let us quickly seize the middle mining chain as well which was quite handy. So 10 minutes in I controlled midhigh and midlow as well as low essentially as our Sup was 2 k from the low aleph which made for quick travel times.
I actually had planned to get an Exp high next to our home but their op went there – this is a good example of not buying you tech base until you are SURE you have a rock for it.
Very interesting as well that SF pushed their carrier directly to our home. Not sure why they did this – it was essentially suicide and they had to have known all of our miners were gone because they had a scout low eyeing them.
You can see after the first op I don’t bother to build anymore – since we are sup its pointless and TF miners take to long to dock imo so refs work 10 times better. Also Val was running the majority of my miners which was a load off my mind. If you notice by about 8 minutes in I have already started assault mining “his sectors” I mine both low and start mining midlow a few minutes later. I like to do this early with at least 2 miners because even if he pushes a con there we have stolen some of his he3.
You will also notice like some noobs out there I do not sit in base while miners die, nor do I launch another fig. I launch a NAN to keep miners alive. SysX as a whole does not spend much time in base. If you are in base more than say 10-15 seconds at any time you damn well better be AFK because there is always @#(! to be done. There is really no need for anyone to f3 spam scout the map as I do a decent enough job of that myself and keep everyone informed via TS
SF pushes a miner next to our home and we get some organized rushes on it. Even if we don’t kill it we stop it from mining which really achieves the same goal. I’m not sure why they mined high at the op instead of high next to their home which would have allowed them to mine a further distance away from us but it made it easy for us to conduct offensive operations.
We lose a miner low as we didn’t really have any good probes on their home aleph and notice they had pushed an Exp con in there plus D.
Also please note I would spam tps whenever I could even at the cost of delaying tech purchases as I feel map control is one of the most important things. Map = Money.
At 18:10 you can see XphoeniX ram mines at full speed. It’s hard to tell in the video but we also kill the nans first unlike most other voobish squads which allowed us to stop that bomber before it blew up our garr.
