Anyway to add music and effects?  I could see this being even more effective with narration, shaking camera with explosions, slides with pan and zoom, etc.   Really cool idea Wraith!~

I can add audio files (limit 16 mb/upload or links) to specific slides, but unfortunately, there's no way to add any effects like shaky cam to this, Oboe.  It's a great suggestion, but the tool I used has its limits.   

I'll tell you what I wish I could include as a YT video to show off the kind of fun that AH provides.  If the following video could be updated to the AH III game engine, I'm sure a lot of people would dig it and get why AH is so fun...  It's a video from 2013 BoB frame 4: https://youtu.be/Xk9V66e88eI   (There's another one from the same scenario that's just a riot... hilarious, adrenaline fueled fun).  I find this clip very compelling to show just how intense AH can be; pure fun, but of the white knuckle variety.   But that video has AH2 graphics and won't cut it to show off AH3.  So it would be wonderful if whomever put the original clip together could try updating it and re-editing it with AH3 graphics/maps/sound engine.  But...oh well, we do what we can do.

It sounds good, If it works at all Im sure HT  will be happy for the help, after all he did ask all to help promote the game, The nasty trash talk doesnt help it much though,  I guess some people can post to the community on here and others are supposed to keep their ideas to themselves.   If it works at all Its would be great,

There is a reality crucible component to the forum community due to many members have been here 15 and more years. What if is fine until what if is run through the reality of the game. You can always use search to see how your what if fared up to 20 years ago or, anything similar. Nasty trash talk, the normal evolution of new people with new ideas is everyone is supposed to ooh and aww about it because it's new and special or something like that. Then get called nasty names for challenging the idea because the idea person has nothing but what if to support asking Hitech to change the game for a what if. And they don't have enough experience with Hitech to know he hops on any what if it has merit from his perspective for his game before you can blink. Very few ever try to understand Hitech's perspective about his game or the game itself. So alot of what ifers complain in these forums that they are "victims" of mean people. 

As for personal trash talk, Skuzzy ban hammers them or rule numbers them faster than you can blink.
