      @LobstahBrood 5 месяцев назад

      One of my absolute favorite memories ever involving the front gate of Minas Tirith is the level in the Return of the King PC game where you play as Gandalf atop the walls commanding Trebuchets to take down siege towers, shooting away Ring Wraiths, and knocking down siege ladders, all while slicing apart Uruks. I feel like there's an amazing video scenario in there for this even though it wasn't ever in the movies. I know there's a scenario for atop the walls in the Gondor at War supplement but I think its a bit lackluster for a video.

    @DesmondDentresti 4 месяца назад

    Very cool narrative battle! Very flavourful, and fun. Even though a lot of emphasis was given to rules to make the Ringwraith as irrelevant as possible, which makes my evil heart sad.
    The editing at 29:39 is incredible and made me giggle. His looney tunes legs going backwards, I am imagining the sound effects. Like Scooby Doo zipping off when he sees the monster.
    The siege bow at 31:35 needed to roll scatter to maybe drift within 3" and if it wounded that Captain with it's initial shot, would instant kill him unless he Fates it as it is a siege engine on battlefield target that lacks D10 or 10W stat.
    Agree that the elf rope should stick around for the turn and allow allies to succeed the same test as him - silly that only Samwise could or would wander off and ditch Master Frodo without throwing him a line.
    Faramir really proved his mettle this day in the fights he participated. The captain has indeed returned.

    I've been watching for years and I dont want to see the Zorpazorp channel die so I'm going to give my criticism. It's too cinematic. I understand the desire to make the videos all polished and 'epic' but I find it too much. The clips from the original movies are used way too much and just slows down the videos dramatically. It took 4 minutes on this video to actually see any pieces moving due to the cinematic buildup. This is just my opinion so take it or leave it but I know a few friends who have stopped watching alltogether because they just get too bored watching the same clip over and over. Don't take this the wrong way, I have loved your videos and want to see you succeed but just had to give my criticism.

    Perhaps a bit more scene setting at the start of a battle report; let the camera rove around the terrain and pick out key pieces; give a sense of the whole if possible (perhaps an annotated map to show every so often with arrows pointing to the action?). Talk about the scenario and each side's commander discuss their strategy and tactics - especially referencing any use of the wonderful terrain. It is great to see engagements being fought over such lovely terrain.
