It is; I am just asking if you want special rules for the contest. Not everybody likes to have their work critiqued, and not everybody is good at giving constructive criticism. So: do we allow comments on the quality of video's, and do we want it during the contest or only after?

A question for Brennus indeed. Anyone wanting to send me four letter words can just PM me on here. As for the usual remarks, I get them all the time on YouTube, whether as messages or as comments. So no worries on my end (:

Did altered unit numbers in EDU allowable?

such as putting 240 Thorakitai Argyraspidai against 240 gaesatae for massive effect....

RE Ludens, I don't really think there is anyway of preventing criticism is there? I will re-draw the rules and add a note asking people to be constructive if they must criticise. Also no faction biased posts. For example if people post videos showing Roman victories no criticising purely because people like the Sweboz and vice versa for videos showing "barbarian" victories, comments must be purely based on the videos creative aspects not it's political leanings. How does that sound?

RE Cute_Wolf, there will be no limit on unit sizes. Now this might be viewed as unfair to people whose computers cannot handle large numbers of units but large unit sizes are not neccesserilly (I can't spell) a good thing. Due to the nature of the "clone armies" sometime huge numbers of identical units can appear quite dull and detract from the atmosphere of the battle (IMO). What do you think?

Link to a dictionary definition of 'critique'.

What's wrong with sticking to the original MP EDU Cute Wolf? Or do you feel you need to compromise for the lack of something? (:

Haha, typical ASM. Just for kicks, your link doesn't work.

Come on everyone let's show abit of enthusiasm! Last time there was a screenshot competition there was a flood of entries.

Can anyone think of a good reward for the winner? There's the obvious balloon but thaty seems a bit of an anti-climax for people who have gone to the effort of producing a video.

Brennus you have to understand something, one of the only pieces of software that actually provides a decent video capture result is known as Fraps, and that costs some money. It may not be too expensive, but it's still money. I personally don't know anybody from all the dozens of friends that I have that actually owns Fraps. So if you don't get a lot of video productions this month (and it's only the 4th of the month, mind you), then don't be disappointed please.
