The war is won, but where's the party?

[bloodybucket]

At last, I've managed a win as the Rebs (early 1864, NM went over 175) and after viewing the victory message, it struck me as not fitting the epic nature of the AACW campaign game.

I know a lot of grogs sneer apy: at endgame "rewards", and I'm not asking for a CGI cut scene of the Army of Northern Virginia parading down Pennsylvania Avenue to a beat box version of "The Bonnie Blue Flag" while Stanton looks on and sobs like a little girl (Hmmm... ) but the current victory notice is pretty spartan.

Perhaps a short musical interlude while stats scroll by, a little cheering, an announcement that doesn't look like all the other event announcements...something that suggests a little triumph, ...

It's a minor quibble, but perhaps if the AACW community came up with a nice endgame win/lose graphic for each side, the work that the AGEOD staff would have to do would be minor, also...

Yeah i'm also a fan of a bit more at the end of the game. A payoff for the hours put in.

Me too.

I want the victory screen to have some Confederate/Union women.

I also won as the rebels two days ago and was quite disappointed by the short message.
I did not expect a video because there was no intro.
But I would really like to read a text that informs you about how history was changed and will go on from now. There should be such a text for a major victory (Union/ Confederacy), a minor victory (both sides) and a stalemate.

For example a major Confederate victory means they can get Kentucky and Missouri. A minor Confederate victory means at least the other eleven states remain independent. A stalemate also means that the Confederacy remains independent but is weakened politically and economically due to the war. A major Union victory is the same as real history. A minor Union victory means the union is restored but it is weakened so that the Southerners can keep many of their rights.

I think this can still be implemented because it only requires some new text files. And the main theme of the winning side should begin to play in the background.

Uhm, I don't think those are photoshopped....

PBBoeye, you're the closest anyone has ever been to being on my "ignore"-list

Sorry, Raf - it was one of those "ask and ye shall receive" moments.

Aaaaack!

[bloodybucket]

Not what I had in mind, although it certainly wouldn't be the usual message...

[TommH]

Well that takes care of the Rebs....Buddum Bum!

[PBBoeye]

Actually, it is Lincoln's former mistress.

*bah-dum-dum-kersplashhhhh*

[Infantree]

Looks like his brother!

[heroes99]

Yes ...still remember the old days where after struggling for many hours and days to beat a game , there will be a great cut scene waiting for you ,,,

[bloodybucket]

I'd want something along the lines of a statistical summary with some music, and maybe a flag graphic...and no bearded ladies!

i would love to see a newspaper that says all about the whole game played, i.e who won the war in big letters!!!, a break down of major battles and a losses report, maybe a total losses for both sides. a list of dead generals, and ones who have recieved the "congressional medal of honor" or something like that. it would probably have to be on several pages , but would be neet if you could "flip" the pages of the newspaper and if it could be saved as a file for later viewing...

sound cool guys????

i think so, lets make it happen techies!!!
