***ORCISH CASTERY / ERA OF THE MAGICIANS***


In an Era of magic, the orcs and humans fought dearly for what considered to be most to them.
Both equalled, change started to occur in the next passing 10 years, The humans were improving there magic skills with great measures.
The orcs seemed chanceless, until that one day!!

Ok didn't get to watch it all again this time, but i'll post about what I was able to get up to.

I would have to say the terrain wasn't that good, but then again this is a very very old map, so its acceptable. One thing I didn't like though was that some of the colours on the text pop ups and messages were sometimes hard to read, eg. like the trolls brown text against the orcs UI, not that easy to read. There was a good use of special effects. The only thing is when the Shaman was fighting the fake chieften guy, and the swordman guy was standing there and about to get hit by the meteor thing, he played his drink animation, and it looked quite wierd as when he was in the middle of a fight he put his sword away and started having a drink :p

Spells and Special effects were definatly something special though in this cinematic. From what I saw they were used well, often and looked awsome. The cameras in this cinematic also looked fairly good.

Well overall the cinematic was quite good, and i'll give this maybe a 7.5/10.

Review from Millzy

Camera
i believe the camera work wasent very great at all. the pauses of the camera and sudden change of speed put me off.

Terrain
the terrain does need alot of improvement its very very flat and i feel in some scene the use of doodads could be used more wise i feel they where just spammed.

Story
the story line at the start is a lil corny but when you get half way though it you get a better understanding and its not so corny.

Animations/special effects

the work with the characters animations where really great and used faily well. the special effects, well they wernt so great some of them where to spemmed.

Other
i feel it would be better to keep all the dialogs one color. also i noticed that the dialog would go away then come back as the same but with a small bit added to the end and it was a little hard to notic at times try to keep it there and add that bit.

Overall
I guess this is a alright cinematic but a fair few improvements should be considerated

Final Rating : 3/5
