The ancient warlord Ghunán has once again travelled to this realm to see some epic fights going on.
But to his regret he couldn't find any.
So go out and show him some!
And maybe you will get his blessing ...

To get it, you have to film an epic battle with atleast 10 units per side (more are appreciated), preferably the videos should involve 2 different races fighting each other.
The contest is about making it looking good, so search a partner, discuss what you want to do exactly and maybe play around with the camera perspective to capture it in the best way possible.

The final videos should be no longer than 5-10min.
The sample video (link below) was created with gamecam (freeware version, works but other programs would probably better).

The reward will be 15k tribut, split between everyone who worked on the winning video.

You have time till the end of era 9.

If you post your videos on youtube please post them as replies to that video, so we have them all in one place.

Are Moderators allowed to participate in this event? Because I'd really like to film some battles of myself and others. Also, I need a good recording program for my computer...something compatible with vista? Any ideas? Someone give me a link?

If MD is interested I'd LOVE to have an epic battle with him, if he gives me a 30 sec head start

I have a few questions related to this event.

Is the criteria for reward based on looking good only? I play on really low quality settings, so compared to that sample video which has plenty of abilities effects my videos would not show any spells or projectiles (only the dl attack has some onscreen display), is it worth trying?

And about the split, if I record random DG matches for instance, would reward go to those other players as well?

@shai tan - i see nothing wrong with it.

@ash yes only based on looking good, but hey - maybe you find a different way of making it look good that doesn't rely on effects?

and no, recorded random matchs don't count for the reward splitting.

I need a recording program. Anyone got one?

sure shadow

Ohhh AWESOME!
You just made me a very happy Scythe
