    Hey,

    I liked the video. the music matched,. the scene cuts were perfect, in fact so perfect It can be counted as a EBMV (europa barbarorum Music video). overall, a beautiful mix (i even commented to that effect over there)

    my advice (I posted this on you youtube vid): when using heavy metal or death metal, be careful not to make it too loud: some headphones (like mine), amplify the metal, boxing ears off. It can even box speaker users. If you blend it with the scene sounds (weapons), it might work.

    just my 2cents, your video was great anyways-one of the best I've seen on youtube

    EDIT: I rated it 5/5

    Personally I turned the sound off as soon as the music started. Never liked that genre, so that's a minus from my part. Aside from that, yeah, it was pretty good.

    personally i dont like the music "alone" too, that means if i had to hear or buy a CD, i dont even know what genre it is, i suppose some Dark, metal or things like that, but sayd that, i have no prejudice in it. So i say it fit very well with the video, and the Video is also sincronized with the music, so i think you should put your volume On. I thing it's the same with other kind of music one could not like, for example you'd buy the sort of New Age music from Gladiator? I wouldn't buy it, but i thing it fit very well with some scenes in the movie. Or again someone other could not like baroque music, but could appreciate a Movie with a baroque music soundtrack and enjoy it, like in Pasolini movies etc.

    I say if you feel ispired by this music to make the videos, then continue with this kind of music

    So who ended up winning the battle in the end? It was pretty fairly matched. I thought the Carthaginians would have been at an advantage with their pikemen and other special soldiers, but they lost a lot, including their general.

    Well done, by the way.

    Well, it's not like I just went "AHA! Death metal! Then it must be crap!". I was in all honesty exaggerating a little bit. The instruments are fine, and the lyrics no problem. It's the snarling voice that kills it for me. I've never been able to stand that, ever, and that's why this kind of music is the only kind (along with the ones where the "singer" just screams) that I don't like. I'm not saying that it's wrong to make a video featuring this music, of course it isn't and if that's what you really want then by all means, go for it. I'm just sharing my own personal opinion, 's all.

    After watching it again, this time with the sound on, my opinion remains the same. The video is well synchronized with the music, I'll give you that, but it doesn't sound any better for it.

    Could have been a good video were it not for the disgusting death metal music.

    Thanks again, Iam very well aware that not many like Death metal but for me its suits very well the Brutality in war like you said V.T Marvin and I also try my best to sync the music with the video.
    Iam planing maby to do some more videos to EB2 and definitely to Empire when they release it there Sweden is a playable fraction:)
    Cheers

    Well done. I'm no fan of death metal, but there was clearly quite a bit of thought and planning put into what happened where, and the whole thing came off quite well, I think.

    I especially liked how there was a definite timeframe for the battle, and you knew where the key moments occurred, and the importance of strategic reserves.

    I'd like to have seen more cavalry charges, especially as the general got knocked off in melee!

    There was one moment where the camera zoomed out to show the front line, and I think a few more of those would have been good, but then again not too many.

    Overall, I think I'll watch it again 7 or 8 times a day, but probably not more...
