Well, I just finished my terrain for my map Empire Egypt, and while waiting for something, I decided to make a main menu backround. It turned out to take 5 hours to make. Instructions of how to install are in the download.
I like how you have got the idea of having a tour around the empire of egypt. Pahaps a little slow to start up as I might describe it. What I mean is that you look at the word empire egypt at the start possibly a little too long.
The eyecandy is not bad - A little more terrain mixing possibly in some areas although the majority is ok. Though that is quite difficult because it is hard to see differences in terrain on sand anyway. You have plenty of scenary objects though. It is a dersert remember so don't add any more or it will no longer be one!
The music tracks are good though I don't think the battle one fits in very well. The other 2 tracks however I think fit quite well.
Pahaps you might want to avoid having shots where you can see the very edge of the map because if you don't have them it is a little more realistic. I will also advise you to turn off obscured units so it "looks" better rather than having orange people behind buildings, etc.
Additional Comments:
Overall I think it is a pretty good menu and I can see that a lot of works has gone into it. So I am going to give you a 4. Well done!
