Change author name.

Sorry, you can't mean it. This is a 3-minute cinematic with nothing else but a flat terrain, one scene, an idiot warden (who still has Shadow Meld on, yet, the enemy can still see her) and a model that looks like Barbarian, yet he has invisibility; 10 columns placed as a reference to an arena and a bunch of flowers as a tragic happiness in the depressing scenery.
I am disappointed, because the description is better than the cinematic; I though I'd see something fancy here ;/ Unfortunately, I got bored, even if it was short, as you suggested.
Generally, a one vs. one fight, with no action, just a couple of look-around heads. The barbarian says "Behind you" and it takes 6 seconds to finally make the fatal blow.
Sky is boring, the blue cinematic fire around the "island" is boring as well.
A cinematic based off one trigger.
Please, use the "Escape" button as an exit from the cinematic, to make it easier for us. The trigger is this:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Game - Victory (Triggering Player) (Show scores, Show dialogs)

Also, the music isn't played; did you test it before uploading it? Sounds/Music cannot be played when there are in a trigger with the "Map Initialization" as event.
Create another trigger and have this as event:

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Time - Elapsed time is 0.00 seconds
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Sound - Play 02_the_1st_fight <gen>

Pity, cause I really loved the song it was supposed to play.
Sorry, this has got to be placed in the Cinematic section in the forums, not the Maps section. It is unfinished as you said, and we can clearly see that. If I were you, I'd pick some nice cinematic tutorials and look over the Terrain section to get some inspiration.

Sorry for being harsh, but I can't understand why can't you realize that this must not be here. Plus, I know how the judges will react, so you'd better get a straight review from a member, than a judge, who could get your hopes down for working further on this.

It worked when I played it through and plus it's part of a campaign... It was pretty good if everything worked. Go figure why all the music didn't play because it worked for me... Anyway if for some reason it doesn't work for you, I don't really know what to do...

EDIT: it really should be played in the campaign. I'm sorry, but it was poorly adapted. I never tested it when I removed it from the campaign. Thanks for the tips. I think I'll see what others think cause this cinematic is better in the cinematic campaign.
