the MOVIE "Dom2 AAR"
 

from another thread (battle replay speed) we started a conversation that movie playbacks would be fun to add to AARs and web sites of Dom2.

So far it seems that the free download of FRAPS isnt too bad
http://www.fraps.com/download.htm
but if anyone else has a favorite "capture screen to movie" program let us know.

I can definetly see where movie editing software, screen captures (already covered in other threads), add some text, maybe some sound, and jump into a captured battle scene then back to single screens with text... Oh yeah, I can see this being fun...

Hey doods, I'm a "bedroom techno artist" and I'd love to make music for a dom2 skit. Maybe we could create a trailer for Dom2! that would be awsome.

I think if we start thinking of the funny side alot of this game would lend itself to cartooning.

The first time I sent an assassin against a wimpy little mage and found out it was a dragon pretender.

My surprise when that first Iron Dragon talked to me? (Gift of Reason)

Or when that stupid drake in the enemys front line started casting spells (transformation)

when that cowardly messenger from the battle lied to me and painted the picture of a wonderul win only to find out when I checked that I had lost the province (mismatched battle reports bug)

Getting declarations of war from nations I have no idea where they are

That big floating head of Marignons which keeps making me want to peek behind the curtain
