I think the video was pretty good, maybe a little bit over the struggle in greece would have added an extra punch but maybe thats just because im playing a konion hellenes campaign and loving every second of it.

As long as they're epikker and have better narration than RTW's.

One nice thing about the main EB theme is that it does divide up into little culture group sections at times - it's not always as easily distinguishable, but plenty of times you can hear something that is more eastern, or more roman, or more barbarian. But making some faction videos with their culture themes as the music would be very nice for sure. Starting with some of the more complete ones (with generals and standard bearers finished - like Aedui or Arverni) would be a good idea I would think.

First impression is that there is good potential there. You have a good build up of tension at the beginning (though the text needs a little work-- what it says, i mean). I myself would up the tempo at the end so the viewer is bombarded with battle scenes one after the other until it climaxes with with a "Europa Barbarorum" logo still-screen-- then fade to black. Basically try to make it so that it is more like, sex. Leave the viewer feeling like they need a cigarette afterwards.

I think the music is great. The fight sequences after you elaborate on the scenario are really choppy and awkward. Although, I can't say myself could do better. Also one thing that bothered me are all the 's you were putting to accentuate wording, it ruins the flow and looks out of place. Overall it's good work though.

The blue map in the opening seems... wrong. Maybe a grey or something else, but not blue. I did like the pan across the map though, as well as the zoom into the regions. The font seems horribly misplaced, as well as the central dot spacing. As far as content of the text, kinda hit and miss.

As far as the battles go, I thought they were a bit too... timid? If at all possible it may be worthwhile to try to feature more of the unique buildings in EB.

Overall however I rather liked it.
