Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Baske appreciates this comment.

Very nice banner, you keep getting better with every cinematic. Looking forwards to this one (go for the humour ).

You gotta be the most productive designer here at AoMH.

I think this story'll turn out nicely. Is this the Ajax as the one from Salamis, or another one?

There's two Ajaxs ???

In Norway there's a detergent called Ajax

No, I was just wondering if he created a new Ajax for this cinematic. ^_^

You have Ajax the Great, who fought in the Trojan War, and you have Ajax the Lesser, who was an archer. Don't know much about Ajax the Lesser as I haven't done any research about him.

Yes, it's the Ajax who was king of Salamis.

And because Ajax is my favourite character in AoM, I chose him out of all the heroes

Ajax the lesser also fought in the Troyan war, and he survived, but because he destroyed a statue of Athena when raiding Troy in the end, he got fried by a lighting bolt on his way back home, his ship sunk, and he drowned.

As if he wasn't dead enough when he got fried by the bolt, athena had to sink his boat to let him drown... poor bastard, all that for destroying a statue.

Wiki?

The banner looks great and I really liked your earlier cinematics, so I really look forward to this one.
And indeed, you are very productive.

looks great!

You're coming out with these pretty fast now.

But what about Arkantos?

Quoted from Lupus:

Wiki? :P

Nope, I have a nice 200 page thick book about Greek Mythology :P And I've read and heard about Troy many times

Seems I better get this historicly correct

a nice 200 page thick book about Greek Mythology

So do I... Might be the same one lol.

Baske, do you have any plans to release videos of your cinematics so that vanillites like me (and PPE and probably a few others too) can still watch them?

I tried using fraps, but the recorded file for my 'The Great Questions of Life' turned out to be 3.9GB (!!!), if I find a way to succesfully compress it, I'll do it.

Nice banner, Baske. Funny, so many Ajax's . Good luck on this, looking fowardmto it. I'll be more into it if you can give us a few screenshots of course .

Please do make this historically corect, There is very few mythology based scenarios/cinemtics that are histoically correct. Hopefully I'll add to that if I ever finish my Legend of Perseus campaign (Ooops! I wasn't supposed to mention that yet!)

Are you going to include the part where he is a suitor for helen?

Lol @ Oboe

I was just about to say something like that. There's always HyperCam as a fraps alternative. And for fraps, you could just open in say QuickTime or Windows Movie Maker to compress.

'The Great Questions of Life' is being compressed even as I speak, so this one will also be recorded for ppl owning vanilla or just aom

File succesfully compressed to 50mb, if it'd be compressed to the upload limit here at AoMH (48mb), the text bacame blurry. So I hereby ask a mod what to do? Can I still upload it here?

Ajax the lesser also fought in the Troyan war, and he survived, but because he destroyed a statue of Athena when raiding Troy in the end, he got fried by a lighting bolt on his way back home, his ship sunk, and he drowned.

That's not true:
Ajax and Oddyseus had a 'fight' about who was going to have the armor of Achilles when he died.
Oddyseus eventually got the armor and Ajax commited suicide.
The End.

You're mixing up stories of Ajax the Great and Ajax the Lesser

You should make a campaign of your cinematics once you're done!
