A epic Rtw Short-movie

[Moriakin]

Hi!
Just wanna share my new Rtw short-movie called ''Bribacte'' that can be downloaded here ... (It's a 148 mo file, but I will upload a lighter file soon)

It has been made with RTR 6.0 and shows the first battle of the War of the Gauls: J. Caesar versus the Helvetii!

It is not completely historically accurate, first because of the RTW engine (numbers of troops are at a 1/10 scale) and second because some certain tactical events of the real battle are impossible to recreate without scripting, which I don't know much about (for example the Helvetii tried to flank the roman army, which our lovely AI is of course unable to do !) But the main tactical elements are shown: the Romans on a hill against three times their number, the Helvetii fighting in close formation (kinda shield wall), etc!
And of course a lot of epic!

Hope you like it!

PS: the movie is compressed in divx codec.

pretty cool movie

[Spothisto]

hmm...cool video indeed...but why are you using principles at that time?

[Crusader Invasion]

That was awesome! You've got some skillz!

There was a problem with the text in the movie. It would come up, then be gone in less than a second. It would have a weird outline too.

I just love these kinds of movies. I´m getting it. Perhaps we should make a thread with links to such movies. I have a few.

Ok, I'll youtube it! It'll be on youtube in a few hours cause the upload is very slow... Plus I had to reduce the quality of the video in order to fit in the maximum size (100 megs) of youtube, but you can still download the good one on filefront, and I'll release a quick time version today too.

-> Spothisto: It's actually not a ''mistake'', I just wanted some special legionaries or ''veterans'' standing on the third line that don't look like ordinary legionaries but there is no such unit in RTR, so I had to take principles and imagine they're veterans... But I see now that you guys aren't that naive

-> Crusader: this problem with the text seems to be irresolvable, thanks to Divx compression which sometimes bugs, don't know why... Compression of video is obscure to me and I should really improve in that domain!

Thanks for the comments!

Daneboy, I'll upload more movies I made as soon as possible!

PS: here's the text that disappears(?) at the beginning: 58 B.C. The Helvetii started a giant exodus to the ocean, leaving their mountains empty
