BlackMoon Chronicles: Black Moon Cinematic

Black Moon Chronicles: Back Moon Intro
The Empire
The Empire has ruled over the land of Lhynn for over three decades. Its colors, red and black, represent war and death respectively and are proudly displayed throughout its capital city of Lhynn.
The Order Light
Despite rumors about the integrity of their faction leader, Fratus Sinister, members of the Order of Light are loyal to the Emperor, whose cause they defend from the peaceful city of Altenberg.
The knights of Justice
Led by Prince Parsifal from the stronghold city of Sysigie, the Knights of Justice are the Empire's elite troops, whose white and blue uniforms signal the sincere purity of their intentions.
The Priesthood of the Black Moon
The Priesthood of the Black Moon encourages sinister adventurers from all over the world to join its ranks and help build up the two cities it overtook from the Empire: Hoorkher and Moork.

One of the best intro ever created from one of the most awesome video games in the history! I have it in my collection and is like a treasure for me ;D

[@blackthorne3004]

I totally agree with you about the intro. Fantastic visuals and the music is extremely good too. But unfortunately I don't think the game is that good. ;-)

ultra awesome game, and one of the best soundtracks ever created! Thanks for the vid.

@@AxenfonKlatismrek The answer is easy - this one :) 40k Chaos Gate game is on second place for me.

[@AxenfonKlatismrek]

@@AirsoftAddicted Imagine BMC game with playstyle of Fallout 1

[@AxenfonKlatismrek]

Let me sum up campaigns in this game in one sentence + 1 alternative sentence Starting campaign: "This campaign seems to be the hardest at the start, but youll play an empire later" Empire campaign: "Finishing Dark souls is easier than completing this campaign" or "Emperor Haghendorf is less reliable than Mussolini" Light campaign: "If you like Knights of Bretonnia, then this is for you" or "You make Mansa Musa I look like homeless bum" Justice campaign: "Your paladins make Astartes look pathetic" or "Spam healing as much as you can" Black Moon campaign: "Just because you have orcs, doesnt mean your WAAAAGH is ready" or "Team Moork lost the football game? Dont worry, angry giants will beat the team Lhynn"

[@ahriman935]

Empire campaign would be horrendously difficult if not for one word: mages. Imperial mages were amazing: they had by far the best, most versatile elemental summons, the 2nd best mass destruction spell (earthquake, only weaker than the light's thingy) and they moved faster than Usain Bolt, unlike literally every other mage in the game. Had a stack of those, didn't have problems with the Empire campaign. But I saw what I had to face and the thought of doing it the less cheesy way was a total nightmare fuel. Other races had similar cheese stacks: - Light mages (you didn't even need a full army of those, 4 were enough to delete everything) - Justice priests had a nice, fairly spammable nuke, combine a whole army of them and you had a delete button as well - Black Moon necromancers/priests: no delete buttons on whole armies, but by far the most fun. Zzzap some units with insta death, revive and you had ultimate chaos on the battlefield, undead everywhere like it's a Saturday market. Unless you were pursued by 4 or 5 full armies of Light cavalry after that one big battle. Survivable but much less fun. Ahhh, good times...

[@AxenfonKlatismrek]

​@@ahriman935 I once found a way to finish Campaign. I went into the files of the game, found the save for Empire i had, added extra zeroes for cash(or as i call it "Created hyperinflation"), and created nuclear apocalypse of wizards, and also spammed lot of archers to the point Agincourt is a normal practice day.

[@AxenfonKlatismrek]

@@ahriman935 Speaking of other races: Black Moon has Orcs and negromancers, orcs are there to steal extra melanin. Or you know what, just negromancers who steal your very melanin Light: Poison archers because i hate seizure indoucing spells, and coco-knights. Justice: Archers go shooty, Paladins heal priests and priests summon destroy everything. That and sometimes i buy angels for fun And lets be honest, Wismerhil is a piece of crap in battle, i mean hes essentially what happens if you give your Vault Dweller 1 on every SPECIAL stat, a wet noodle

[@ahriman935]

@@AxenfonKlatismrek Oh yeah, I had a pure, unadulterated love/hate relationship with Wismerhill. On one hand I loved him because, well, MC. And he had hp regen, which has been my video gaming fetish since forever. On the other, he was beyond useless in combat, tended to die in less than 2 hits if anything bigger than cavalry came anywhere near him and had that infuriating block action instead of attack. MY GOD THE FUCKING BLOCK. 4 out of every 5 times he should attack he would block, AND THAT FUCKING BLOCK DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING. If he never blocked, only attacked and had like 2x - 3x max hp he'd actually be pretty decent. In fact I did just that, on my final playthroughs of the game I figured how to edit the game files and gave Wismerhill more hp and some extra spells, starting with the firestorm thing. Even changed his cape color from purple to red or green or whichever faction I played. He became actually useful, though still not Chadheel Thorn.

@@kroooassant9899 The world of Black Moon Chronicles had amazing potential for further strategy games. All the great dark fantasy elements of say: Warhammer or Disciples, with much weaker lore constraints than the former. Alias, the franchise too obscure. A terrible shame.

[@Alkinski]

***** Jeszcze jeden dobry powód, żeby ją uwielbiać.

[@Alkinski]

***** Nie ufam niczemu, co nie zostało wyprodukowane przez satanistów albo masonów. Masoneria wydłużyła nasze życia o ponad 35 lat i obniżyła śmiertelność niemowląt i dzieci przed dojrzewaniem z 60% do poniżej 1%.

[@Alkinski]

***** Nie. Kiedy bożym światem rządził kościół tzw. katolicki, średnia wieku wynosiła 55 lat, a tylko 30% wszystkich niemowląt dożywało wieku rozrodczego. Na Ziemi rządzonej przez masonów, specjalistów ds. trucicielstwa i zarażania rakiem średnia wieku w krajach pierwszego świata wynosi 87 lat, a śmiertelność niemowląt w ww. krajach wynosi poniżej jednego procenta. Wynika z tego, że to albo kościół jest beznadziejnym obrońcą życia, albo masoni beznadziejnymi trucicielami.

[@Alkinski]

***** Podane przeze mnie liczby są tego niezbitym dowodem.

[@Alkinski]

***** To tłumaczyłoby, dlaczego zostałem ojcem w wieku 16 lat, a czworo z siedmiorga moich dzieci zmarło na biegunkę i zapalenie płuc. Huh, chyba jednak brakuje nam starych dobrych czasów. XIII wieku, kiedy penicylina była w powszechnym użytku, albo czasów rzymskich i panteonów zasilanych elektrycznością. Dobre czasy.
