My pleasure. It is a style that I have long enjoyed in writing my Europa Universalis 2 AARs, and Dominions 2 accomodates that style very well.

Some of the more interesting battles might be fun to watch as mpegs (movies).

I tried applying an Indeo Video compression codec to an avi of a 1 minute battle for test purposes this afternoon, but even with hefty blurring, low quality, and only 7 FPS, it ran to rather more megabytes than my puny account can reasonably support. (A typical jpg runs to 80K-100K with the compression factor I use, a blurred stuttering movie runs to many megabytes, and a clear one to dozens)
For test purposes, I used the following free software: MandSofts Screen Movie Studio for the capture and VirtualDub, a SourceForge project, which is exceedingly easy to use for video manipulation.

If you run into space troubles with your hompage site let me know and I can set you up with a hosted account [/QB]

That might be an option with respect to battle-movies.
