Cut-Scenes

[E-Man]

Hey I was just wondering and suggesting (though I am sure it has already been well thought of by the devs), about cut scenes.

I was thinking like everytime a huge city is besieged maybe a little cut-scene with clips from the movies when the forces of Sauron are massing at Minas Tirith (and perhaps narrating by gandalf )

Also, maybe when something big occurs in the campaign, such as when the rohirrim are saddling up and camping at dunharrow, before a big battle?

Even small things like when Frodo and Sam are captured by Faramir and his rangers and taken to osgiliath, or when Isengard is taken a cut-scene of the ents defeating Saruman and his minions?

Just something to think about

ps. Love the mod so far!!

Yeah I think that's a great idea.

Lol, with all these suggestions, this mod might as well be called the prequel to ETW...

I'm sorry, but I don't like the idea... I don't want to follow the movies, and as I've said earlier, the hobbits should be left out. The cut scenes should be animated, like in vanilla M2TW, and they shouldn't portray the events from the movies. Although, I do like the idea of having a cutscene when a major city (Minas Tirith, Edoras, Rivendell, etc.) is sieged/conquered/succesfully defended. That would be for much later releases, though, unless Linkinsander has nothing else to do

But Id like the idea

lol I know what your saying

I do believe in forging my own dynasty in Middle-Earth instead of just the movies.

Animated cut-scenes would take a long time to create, so I think that using cinematic moments from the movie where appropriate would be the way to go

nay!!!! I say quality over quantity!

[Mithrandir]

I now disagree I would prefer it if it was animated it would keep the total war theme.

I agree with both of you. The mod should be made by the modders only.

+ It would be completely illegal to include music or videos from Lord of The Rings (the movies) in a mod

I guess that settles it... Linkinsander, get to work

(edit) I now disagree I would prefer it if it was animated it would keep the total war theme.

Where did you read that?
Link, please.

[Varjon]

Check "Team and credits" topic, there reads under MUSIC Lord of the Rings: Total War Team (all their music are from BFME I-II and movies so far as I know) and I think that < Shved > said that in "Third Age General Discussion" topic or somewhere else.

I want used sound and music effect from LOTR:TW, Battle for Middle-Earth I, II , films and other

That's from first page of "Third Age General Discussion" thread.

[Mithrandir]

Tanks, Varjon, I didn't know that. I'm ok with the music, but I still think animated cutscenes would be the best.

[Linkinsander]

animated cutscenes would be very hard to create

Worth it. It's not for the first release, remember.
