Seriously, why not add a intro movie, maybe a clip from the film... http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=191978

We'll see what we can do...

i've been wanting an intro movie, but that will be among the last cosmetic things we do.

Event movies would be cool as well. Sort of like in Road to War. You could have events like the sinking of numenore (if it's not in the game, but right timeline). This is of course if you want to create any historically specific games such as that with a pre-made map like in road to war.

It'd be cool, certainly.

it would be cool

Great idea! I was planning to have an introduction to the story, like a prelude, talking briefly about the creation of the world, the trees, Feanor, the return of the Noldor to middle-earth, and the wakening of the Men. But probably simply showing events of ME would be better...

But that cant be first prio....

Would be alot harder making event movies, maybe just focus on a sold intro right now.
