What are your guys' ideas for loading screens and the menu and such? I thought it would be real cool if youl could do your own intro movie and everything. I suggest for a loading screen, something a bit cooler than the bland one vanilla HOI has. I would think it would be cool if you could have maybe a diff. loading screen for all major nations, and then a bland default screen for all minors (this would be open to more moddability). Maybe for the minor one you could have some WW1 poetry or something like that.
Might I suggest that when you load up the UK one, you could put Rupert Brookes poem "The Soldier".
Here it is for those of you who havent heard it:
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
Here is a site of British WW1 poets: A corner that is forever England
If you want, I could find some by german poets and other nationalities.
