Review of SoT Chapter III
I think this series keeps now at about the same level.
In this chapter, the story had some more interesting parts than in the ones before, but I think that's the only point in which it is really better than the second part.
One technical problem which looks simply unprofessional and can simply be killed:
At the beginning of the cinematic, an undefined picture of any place of the map is shown, just for very short time, not even a second, but this looks bad anyway.
Turn on the cinematic mode and apply the black mask at MAP INITIALIZATION, not at game-time=0.00 seconds.
And still another point of critisizm is your terrain... it's very sad to see the two lovers in romantic talk standing on a rectangular hill in front of a big, blue, rectangular water fall. :?
The battle was not bad, especially the long-range weapons were very nice. It would appear even bigger if you would try to keep the camera showing all warriors which are there, but nothing behind it so that the watcher thinks automatically that the battle field is much bigger behind it. Some nearer cameraperspectives in battle rise action, too.
All in all this part of the cinematic series is still a solid 4/5, the story is nice, but the terrain looks a bit like a sketch. Take please a bit more time for this for the next chapter!
Yours truly
