Hi, HBalck. Your WW3 video is here:

http://www.gamefront.com/files/21655553 ... WW3Mod.wmv

Don't forget to rename this file as "intro.wmv" when you place it in the Panzer Corps video folder.

Thank you so mutch !

You're welcome HBalck.

If you made this, I congratulate you! It's a really professional cut material with good chosen music for it.
Still, I wouldn't use it as intro for PC: it is like a "trailer" of World War 2 (from German viewpoint). It dramatically shows the effects of the war - the brutality, the terror, the deaths...all of the insanity, what mankind created for himself.
But I play PC not because of that, but because it is a brain-using challenge, like chess.

I have the intro of Afrika Korp's add-on from DMP. It shows also historical material but without the terror and the funny music creates a balance. I let it played so many times, when I started PC, that I even cannot count.

Still a very professional and viewable film, thanks for making it!

jaggy wrote:Hi, All. I’ve uploaded a new intro for Panzer Corps. I think this video captures the chaos and tension of war much better than the original one. It shows some nifty footage of various Wehrmacht units, Infantry, Fallschirmjager, Panzers, Anti-Tank Guns, Fighter Aircraft, Paradrops, naval warfare, etc.

Just drag the file into your “Panzer Corp/Video” folder. Back-up your original video if you want to keep it. I’ve already renamed the file as “intro.wmv” so its just a drag-and-drop operation. Runtime is 7mins and 3 secs. The video was converted from this youtube link “German Combat Footage – WW2” by Shad0wack:

Thanks, Uhu, but I didn't make this. Shad0wack had posted the video on youtube and all I did was convert it to "wmv" so that I use it. It is long but I thought some gamers might like it as an alternative. I'm thinking now of converting the music, Hans Zimmer's "Do you think I'm a Saxon" to mp3 so that I can use it as Panzer Corps ingame music.

Funny you mention that, Jaggy, because I went ahead and bought the soundtrack and play it through WMV with ingame music turned off. It goes good with it, but there are a couple tracks I removed from the playlist. The song you mention, Saxon, sounds like something Caesar's Legions would play as they marched into battle. The first minute-forty never gets old.

I also have the PG2 German/Russian soundtack, and the Panzer Corps soundtrack in the playlist, as well as a couple Führer speeches. Movie soundtracks are the way to go - there's plenty awesome music in that genre, and without lyrics it takes a hell of a lot longer to get old. Good music makes good gameplay experience.

You can buy a high-quality mp3 version of Saxon off Amazon.com for $ 0.99

Thanks, 4kEY, I think I'll do that, buy from Amazon that is. If there are any other video links that you think might make good intros, please feel free to share. I've just googled PG 2 German/Russian soundtrack and the music is excellent. I'll add these in into the Panzer Corps ingame music files when I'm finished with work. Thanks.
