Sturgian Siege Defence

[@BattlesCinematics]

Thought I'd upload a fun siege battle while I'm working on my Battle of Agincourt cinematic. Not the best siege I've played but there's some cool moments so I thought I'd share!

miss your battles

[@Strat-Guides]

Hey battles, just wanted to help with the Algorithm. Looking forward to Agincourt!

[@DestroyerOfOgis]

Strat is also watching this massive bias and unfair treatment against Sturgia... When will we win a battle? When we have equal treatment...

Posted on the Siege of Galend and their video in winter. User: @Battles I'm posting this on three videos, hoping for the biggest chance of being seen. Also, after spending some 30 minutes writing this on my phone, I noticed you're most likely inactive and may never upload again. But if you do, consider using my feedback! :) I love it, you're using great angles and you're really doing a nice job with your editing. I am also a big fan of when you create a story, I particularly enjoyed the winter combat scene, how you over a period of time build it up. The troops amassing, ordering up. The rows of structured organized troops lining up. Only to then fall into a chaotic and brutal battle field. I also really, in particular, the ending of "The Siege of Galend”. What I'd imagine you also consider to be your best work yet. Hopefully you are open to feedback as well. Apologies if you feel this message is long, but I want to give the best feedback I can. One thing I think when seeing the battles is that they are a bit to cluttered. What if you tried using less troops? Let me delve deeper into what I mean. I'd imagine when playing the game it feels waaaaay less epic, but when making a cinematic, you'll be able to pick out scenes that makes it look like there is something much greater happening on the battlefield. Imagine an angle, where the camera is about 30-40 cm above the ground. The camera is sliding side ways to the right very slowly, while also zoomibg in, slowly. The angle is slightly up, about 10-20 degrees, putting the heads of the closest combatants' heads above the horizontal center line of the shot. Also, you could make a dutch angle that rotates slight. This will add a greater feeling of chaos; the camera is rotated about 10-15 degrees, then at the end of the clip, it has rotated to 30 degrees. What the camera sees would be maybe 10-12 fighters in total doing combat. You will perhaps see 4 soldiers in the foreground and 8 in the background. The nearest fighters are about 3-4 meters away from the camer. Where the furthest fighters would be some 20 meters away from the camera. Maybe there's also a few bloody corpses spread out on the ground. Even if this would be EVERYTHING that happens in the viewpoint. Then getting a few nice camera angles of some of these types of scenes. With some added sound effects from large battles. You'd be able to put the combat in an intricate level of focus, every swing, every action would be notable. Instead of how it is now, just a massive cluster-fuck of spears and swords swinging. Although, you should also have scenes that are perhaps a bit farther away from another battle, oretending it's the same battle, where you actually see a lot of enemies. I do however think that the combatans should be spread out as well. An unrelated suggestion, rather than feedback, would be to shoot the same battle in multiple sections. I know I already suggested that to create multiple smaller combat scenes. This time though, imagine that you had a battle that started in morning light and ended in the late evening. Night battles were almost unheard of in the past, considering the lack of night vision and such things. So the. You'd see the soldiers return to tents, if tents exists in the game. Then the decisive battle would be fought the next morning, the field already littered with corpses of yesterday's events. I'd also like to suggest that some post-processing of the colors in Adobe After Effects would go a long way. I don't know how it is nowadays, 10 years ago though, you could snatch Magic Bullet Looks off of pirate bay for free. I doubt this is an option anymore, sadly... For my credentials, you can check out my nicest edit, you can search for "Bishiba Breeze", it's some 8 years old or so. For something more recent you can search for "Bishiba Quicktips" and look at episode three regarding ambient lighting. The content of the video is not what is relevant, but rather that I am decent at editing. The editing style is different, as it's quite fast paced. Lastly, I would believe that you could do some really nice videos in Total war. Please tell me if you found my feedback interesting.

Hey great battle, I to just started making montages in both bannerlord and total war. Its a really fun thing to do. Feels like making your own war move. Epic!

I still can’t get over how amazing all of your videos are! Keep up the great work and super excited to see the battle of agincourt and definitely burning empires too!

[@enclavesoldier8893]

Just wanted to say your doing an awesome job on this and I am looking forward to seeing more content down the line, I am a fan of both history and bannerlord so getting to see your cinematic on the Battle of Agincourt, regardless of what game you use, will make my day.

[@BattlesCinematics]

Thank you for the lovely comment! Glad you're enjoying the content, It'll probably be a little while until Agincourt is ready just because I don't want to cut any corners with it and I want to make it as good as I can.

[@enclavesoldier8893]

@@BattlesCinematics Take all the time you need, I’m glad you have good standards for your work.

[@noctusfury6918]

Strange colors for the enemy side. Did a Battanian noble defect to the Aseraites? Also this is really good. Do you plan on posting more Bannerlord battles in the future?
