The story is legend, fiction, about the destruction of Atlantis. PLAYABILITY: Probably my expectations were too high. The Jewel of Atlantis- Prologue is a technically well-made cut-scene with limited entertainment value, suitable as a utility and unless you find volcano eruptions as a campaign entertaining, you will be disappointed. It is about a disaster to hit the island and to leave a jewel, which gave power, at a safe place. You witness a volcano eruption, the flooding of Atlantis, then water retreating and people arriving to search for the jewel of Atlantis. That was it, the moment it becomes interesting this "single-scenario-cut-scene-campaign" ends. 3 BALANCE: This category relates to the skill of the player and is somehow subjective, as the reviewer rates, if the scenario was too hard/easy to complete for him or if the scenario is well balanced. The scenarios goal is to show a cut-scene, where you do not have control of a unit and it is in the intention of the author that you will not face a struggle to survive. From the review tutorial: 揙ne important item to note about scoring the balance category for scenarios where no fighting takes place, such as cut-scene scenarios, some puzzle scenarios and some rpg style scenarios, is that just because the player cannot die in such scenarios, that doesn't mean the scenario isn't balanced. You also need to take the author's original intent into account, giving the author some benefit of the doubt. If the author never intended the player to face a struggle to survive, then there's no reason to knock down the balance score if there isn't any fighting. So keep in mind that you do need to take the intent and goals of the scenario into account when scoring the balance category, especially for those scenarios where fighting is not included.?5 CREATIVITY: The best part of the cut-scene, a good creative use of some old tricks, well orchestrated together, earth trembling, different explosions, the flooding swallowing Atlantis, receding water and the nature, jungle covering the civilization's traces. In addition, a good use of sounds, music and a BMP is always a creative touch even though Atlantians were not American Indians. 5- MAP DESIGN: Good above average map design with an unrealistic design approach to the legend of Atlantis. The scenario locates Atlantis in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, but it looks like Mesoamerican jungle. The other probable location would be 2500 miles far from Egypt that is why Plato situated Atlantis beyond the Pillars of Heracles, beyond the street of Gibraltar in the Atlantic Ocean. Nevertheless, whatever the location was 250 or 2500 miles from Egypt, the vegetation was not jungle. According to Plato, the Atlantian culture, architecture, civilization was the most advanced of its time and this compared to Egypt and Greece. What we witness here is a design approach of fields, forage bushes and jungle in town, broken road with fungus, a shame for any developing country or so-called banana republics. I could not even enjoy the good trigger work seeing flowers in bloom, plants, and jungle trees on top of the volcano during the eruptions. In addition, the crater filled with water, which would vaporize in seconds, gave the impression of an extinct volcano. 4 STORY/INSTRUCTIONS: An objective is not necessary for this cut-scene, hints in general are not necessary either, but here I would have appreciated a hint on which speed to play. I played first normal speed but the effects left to desire something better because of the unsightly exploding demolition ships, easy detectable. The effects were better on fast, but near the end, I got strange noises of probably overlapping music. So I guess normal is the intended speed, which should be part of the hints or instructions. The history section was the worst part of the scenario, but as you do not need it, no deduction made. The authors do not even mention Plato; misplace Atlantis with regard to location and time without any given reason to which I will refer under observations. There was no story, maybe just the beginning of a story, nevertheless I stretch the rules here and count it as 'any story' and the bitmap adds to give an above average rating for the category. 4 OVERALL: A Prologue. SUGGESTIONS: You have to maintain the standards of historical accuracy established by the creators of AoK. You should at least support your opinion that Atlantis location was in the Mediterranean Sea around 2000 BC with some sentences in the history section. OBSERVATIONS: Plato was the first to mention the legendary island of Atlantis in his two dialogues, Timaeus (Timaios) and Kritias (Critias), merely mentioned in Timaeus, but we find a complete description of the island, the history and its rulers in Kritias. According to Greek Mythology, Poseidon's son Atlas carried the sky west of the Pillars of Heracles, street of Gibraltar; hence, the Atlas mountain range in Morocco and the name for the Atlantic Ocean derives from him. Plato mentions him as the first king of the Atlanteans, so either Atlantis, meaning island of Atlas, named after Atlas or Atlas named after Atlantis, who knows. There are different approaches to the myth of Atlantis and I will not take sides here, as it would probably fill a book to make ones point. The easiest is of course to say Atlantis is fiction, a metaphor for Plato's dialogues in his books Timaeus and Critias. Arguments against, Plato states several times that it is true, his description of Atlantis goes far beyond the need to support the points made in the dialogues, indicates too much detailed knowledge to be fictional. If you take Plato's story for real the destruction of Atlantis, size equal to Libya combined with Asia Minor, located west of the pillars of Heracles took place about 9'000 years before his time. The island had all the different kinds of food, animals: bulls, horses, elephants and resources in abundance. The Atlantians, advanced in many techniques, built palaces, temples, a silver and gold temple dominated the island's center, harbors and docks, and they were unlike the early Greek a naval force. The Atlanteans ruled over Libya and many parts of Europe, but when they went to war against Greece they pushed them back, out of the Mediterranean area. One possible place would be the Azores situated ca 1500 km west of Portugal, in addition, 9'000 BC was after the height of the last ice time, sea level 150 meters lower than today and islands west, close to Gibraltar disappeared slowly between 12'000 and 11'000 BC, now 50 to 100 meters below sea level. Another theory, probably applied for 'The Jewel of Atlantis', implies Plato an error of a 0, of ten times due to a translation fault from Egyptian into Greek. Meaning the events took place about 900 instead of 9000 years before his time, the location was not 2500 but 250 kilometers far and the size of Atlantis and its places were ten times smaller. Without investigating this any further, two remarks, 900 years before Plato would be around 1260 BC too late for the volcanic explosion and it said clearly that Atlantis preceded the Egyptian culture. To locate Atlantis in the Mediterranean Sea refers to the Minoan culture on Crete and the island of Thera north of Crete, known as Santorini, a volcanic island. Around 1500 BC to 1600 BC a volcanic explosion contributed to the sudden downfall of the Minoan civilization, in other words the Atlantians were Minoans. IN CLOSING: I recommend this creative cut-scene.</TD></TR></TABLE> |
