Lets see:

Things that I don't like:

1 - Maybe terrain a little:
*Trees doodads can be better and better scaled
*You can add more tiles
*I don't see animals etc
2 - Memory leaks:
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 060 Copy 7 Copy 6 Copy 2 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Make (Triggering unit) face (Center of Region 085 <gen>) over 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
Also I found sound leaks and then just close triggers
3 - Some camera angles show sky between trees (at start I think) [1]
4 - That house where is battle between Succubus and Sharnae looks good but empty, add more doodads, like flags, weapons I don't know

Things that I like:

1 - Very good skins/models
2 - Story become better and better
3 - You make simple battle looks awesome with, you called it Fires, model
4 - Isn't short
5 - Very good loading screen
6 - Very good map description
7 - Large number of special effects (just like when they destroy that 2 Pillars)

Word or two to Author:
*Really nice cinematic dude, I will give you 5/5 if you fix terrain a little more! I just don't like that small details like on that picture below (Made in WE but ingame is even worse)
*Also because it is cinematic memory leaks aren't so important, but it will be no problem if you clean it :D
*I hope this review will help you to improve/upgrade map to awesome one! :thumbs_up:

4/5, +REP from me + Vote for Approval

Oh my fuc**** god, it's aaaawwwweeeessssoooommmmeeee!!!
And when the Succubus and Sharnae were fighting in the house... pff...
The only thing i've found was:

Wenn the General gave the orders you named Odin one time as Vago (Or how the son of the general is named :D)

But... 5/5 :D

Not a bad cinematic, kept me interested and worth the download I’d say : ). Here’s a brief overview of the main points:

STORY:
Not a lot of story for a cinematic of this length, but had some interesting sides to it, such as the demon power part. I easily see some good potential here

3.5/5

TERRAIN:
Very nice all round, beautiful forest, nice shoreline, awesome interiors. Not much else to say, good work! :D.

4.5/5

CAMERA:
Not bad but could’ve been better, especially in the conversation scenes and the action scene. The camera just kind of slowly rotates around the point of interest from a distance, not many angle changes or faster movement. In conversations you can have different angles when showing dialogue from different characters, showing a front-on view of the char as they talk, rather than just an overhead shot for the whole conversation, makes it little boring. And in the action scenes needs some more close-ups and faster camera movements, again it just kind of moves slowly from a distance with an overhead view, which isn’t too immersive. Try to get in closer to the action and quicken things up a little. All in all, not bad but needs a little work for different scenes

3/5

ACTION:
Could get a bit repetitive at points, with a bit too much regular attacking combined with simply moving them to a different position. Maybe a few more spells, special effects etc. to liven things up. But apart from that the action was alright

3.5/5

MUSIC:
Choice of music was alright, but it didn’t suit some parts of the cinematic, such as when the guy is telling the different soldier groups where to go, it was a fairly low-key scene but there was this loud, heavy metal type music playing in the background haha which didn’t exactly suit the tone at that point. But the music itself was alright, just make sure to use it at the right time and right place

MODELS:
Models were very nice, the succubus especially hehe. Nice choice, they all looked great and suited the cinematic perfectly

There were a few random things too like the occasional typo, but all in all it was fine


I see good potential, just work on those few things and there should be some exciting sequels on the way :D.

Overall I give it 3.5/5
 
Oh i still have to watch this :p
Edit : Watched it :
Review - The Last Samurai: Revenge is Futile

A cinematic by xDeathknightx

Camera :

The camera is fine, the camera was always moving, however the point where Sharnae and the succubus we're fighting outside, right in front of the door, there was a big tree in the way, so we couldn't see the fight.

Terrain :

The environment is just gorgeous to look at, with all the giant trees, etc. The only thing that i did not like was the inner hall where Sharnae and the succubus we're fighting. It looks empty.

Story :

The story is going along fine, yet the conversations get boring after a while. It's always "Sharnae...", then "I-I can't" and then "Sharnae...". Try to write better dialogues. But the story overall is nice.

Animations :

I don't think you used animations while there was a conversation, also Sharnae just had one attack move, which she did over and over.

Other :

There are several typos in the cinematic, here are some :
Captin -> Captain
to much has unfolded -> too much has unfolded
the girls father -> the girl's father
except -> accept

Hiveworkshop :

You have written a nice description for the map and you are not breaking any rules.

Overall :

I would say you've put a lot of effort into this and I'm happy that you're still keeping the cinematics section alive.

Final Rating : 4/5

My suggestion is: Make this a Campaign-type map. It becomes easy when you can control the progress of the stories and perhaps doesn't make us (the downloaders) become too confuse which map to load first and see. You can gather all of the stories' map and make it into a single Campaign, it's more great :)
