[Maximus IV]

Well does that mean i could help ?? ^^

Yeah why not? But i have plenty of them ..

[Hesus de bodemloze]

Any chance we could lesson two a bit earlier?

And 2 minutes should be enough as well. It's some sort of optional the time limit on the video.

Video Plan

1. The subject of my video is... Advertisement for the Napoleon: Order of War mod 2. The goal of my video is to... Show off the brilliant work of Marshal Beale and attract users to it. 3. The main audience is... Mainly NTW Players looking for a mod, but generally all NTW players/potential players 4. I need permission from... No one as I am the Public Relations manager for the mod 5. The limitations/parameters I am working within are... The video is to be no longer than 2 minutes There must be dramatic music for the majority (at least 3/4 of the video) I will use in game sound for cannons firing. There will be at least two quotes in the video All mod contributors must be credited. 6. My storyboard is a such... Presented by - 5 secs Opening rocket fire + casualties -10/15 secs Quote to do with war - 5 secs Infantry Skirmish -20/30 secs Quote from Marshal Beale about mod - 5 secs Various battle scenes - 40-50 secs Final epic cavalry charge -10 secs Info/Links screen - remainder

Great job Ulti, and a detailed and focused plan that will work well for you.

I don't want to get into advertising different mods here, but I must say that the Order of War mod is VERY video friendly...the colours and uniforms are vibrant, the performance is good...it is a dream for anyone shooting NTW vids. There are other great mods of course, but this is my personal preference for land battles.

So do we PM you and request the next lesson or will it be posted?

• the subject of my video is the mod were im working on : Patria Libera. I will try to make some sort of movie preview for the big audience
• the goal : to attract some experienced modders to aid us in our undertaking and to convince twc members to download this mod once it hits the 1.0 version and to teach hostory in an amusing way
• main focus is on the members of twc
• i need no permission since im co-leader of this mod ,but i asked the boss to just be sure
• limitations and parameters:ill use english for the audio and use some charts ,paintings and the use of pl in mp to manipulate both sides so they act historically
• storyboarding: first a screen with the name of the mod + explanation of what the viewer will see : the scottish vs the english during the battle of Bannockburn

(note : this battle has nothing to do with pl itself , i just want to show the new models and the unique characters , Bruce and Edward II)

followed by some charts and small historical details that led to this battle ,accompagnied by the music of our music artist, eferzed

first phase : Bruce is charged by Henry de Bohun, in game ,two generals bodyguard charging one another followed by a painting of the death of Henry in this melee
second phase : scottish troops chase the fleeing enemies but are called back after a short notice by Bruce ,who intercepts the enemies counteroffensive on the scottish flanks using a shiltrom formation against horsemen
third phase : the second day of battle ,the english position themselves against New Park(a forest) followed by an ambush of scottish troops who were hidden in the forest
fourth phase : the scottish charge the panicking english forces and rout em
fifth phase : the aftermath with all historical results of this battle and a view of the cheering units

When you use Medieval 2 you can get way much more out of the game with CinEd - it's harder to handle of course, your decision

[BURNY26]

CinEd it is !

[MasterBigAb]

CinEd it is !

Good decision
