Unique background - norse night

Description
Changes the background of the main menu to a scene of a norse and a greek village. The scene makes use of the advanced camera zooming and rotation in AOM: EE, as well as the new lighting. All you download in this mod is the scenario file for the background. No other files or mods are required.

This mod is based on another mod that changed the background environment of the main menu. I originally created this mod only for use for myself, but I think it turned out pretty good so I uploaded it here for you.

NOTES: please read:
- I made this with a resolution of 1366*768 (which is my desktop resolution) in mind. If you notice something funny when using this mod on other resolutions, please let me know in the comments.
Resolutions confirmed by subscribers: 1920*1080, 2560*1440, 1900*1200, 1600*900
- This background works best if you turn on 'light on units' in the options menu. You will see lightings from torches and fires, and a faint glow from gold mines.

-INSTALLATION-
- Click the subscribe button above.
- Start AOM, open the mod manager in the main menu, and enable the mod.
- Restart AOM, or click 'Reload assets' in the mod manager.

Any constructive criticism or other comments are appreciated :)

Much better than the standard background. I love my main menu like this now. ^^

I like this background except for the fact that Nidhogg comes in.

I just tried it and it seemed to work for me. Are you sure you have the mod activated (Main menu -> Steam icon -> Enable the right mod)? You could try putting it at the top priority of your mods, if that fails I have no idea what's going wrong. The mod works for me even when running Tale Of The Dragon.

I can't use this mod, it doesn't work on my game.
