Great! I need more of this stuff :D

but there is one thing i find strange: why does Archon WALK all the ways by foot? there are horses in town why doesn't he mount one?

the simple answer is... umm... i cant remember exactly to be honest... but i remember there WAS a reason, i think i suggested not to do that. the walking gives that atmosphere at the end that wouldn't be achieved with him galloping off on horseback. and if you want an 'in-game' explanation, maybe archon doesn't know how to ride horses? or maybe the woman doesn't want her horses to leave brin?

Cause my DSL is now in the limited MB time, and i have to wait till 18:00 to get in my Freetime ^^, where I can dl as much as i want.

But I think it will be perfect, man I am really looking on my watch to get that file ^^.

It was pretty good, but some areas were bare; some grassy areas had no doodads at all.

It looks pretty good but is a little dull and............why did you show the story of that village in the first cinematic and leave a dead end?????

Because its like a pre-intro. Have you ever seen LOTR? They show what happens at first (though they clarity, I leave you hanging)

This project wasn't supposed to be released part by part. It was supposed to be released in like two 1 hour sections.

But I guess it was best that I released part 1 standalone.

Damn, I knew I should have waiting to release part 2 with part 3. :bgrun:

I noticed a striking similarity with LotR indeed. :)

I don't know why not everbody shouts "AWESOME" or "BEST EVER SEEN", cause TToA is not just a normal cinematic, it is a legend!!

So @ all be fair and give Ian the respect that belongs to him.

So my respect to you. :D

I don't care what others say.
This is DEFIANTLY the best cinematic
sequel part I have seen ever!

When you load up the map in
warcraft 3 it's as if you are a
whole other place than wc3!

It's almost as if you just forget it's
wc3 and not a real movie!

Very nice work Iron_Ian, and whoever
helped him!

A masterpiece!
I can only recommend people to watch this!

who said it is not good? but nothing is perfect you know? so critic is important to make something as perfect as possible... ;)

and i also find it best if you release part by part ... even if one of them doesn't have action scenes

Lol I knew someone would say that. Though I don't mean it to be like LOTR. Much different actually.

To tell you the truth I was originally going to call "Brin" - Shireville. But then I figured that ppl would associate the "Shire" part with the Shire from LOTR.

So yeah I try to make the story as uncliche as I can. The main storyline is similiar, but quite different from most other storylines. (Maybe it doesn't seem so atm, but it will have some unique stuff later :ggani:)
