    Default Main Menu Background

    Im not quite happy with the current picture used in the main menu (backdrop.tga)
    I´d prefer an ancient map of europe like this, its from the movie "king arthur". This is of course copyrighted but if you dont tell i wont either
    What do u think about something like that?

    You should put "-nm" in the launcher.

    And if we would have a very short video? Say, at least for the Rome folder, showing Romans marching past from one side of the screen to the other? A whole unit could go past, and the video would loop so it would look like an "endless" army really... Or maybe not just one unit? And if we really want to make it exquisite, each faction (mod-folder) could have its own, showing an army from that faction marching by (possibly in a scene that looks like their native land). We could also add minor effects (camera shake, bloom, some kind of saturation etc.). What do you think?

    edit: Maximus, check the command line of the exe. I think you don't have "-nm" (minus quotation marks) there. You should put it there.

    Should we ask Naxzul to make the video?

    I like the current background, but video could be a good alternative.

    Video would be cool...but it's just one more intensive thing going on. Personally, I like Tzar's background.

    How about a marching legion, or pretorians

    Yeah, I'd rather not have that particular legion on there....it's not one of the best ones visually in my opinion. How about Praetorians or Macedonica/Valeria Victrix/Cyrenaica?

    Do we really need to replace menu background?

    The menu is fine as it is, I think everyone agrees not to change it.
    In addition, if the team wanted to change the menu and replace it with a video, I would have asked, what has not been done.
    But personally, I meant with my post, I did a test to see if it would worked properly.

    Good, but a sense of taste and style, too, should be taken into account :-)
