    Ok guys u asked and here it is.

    i just got a copy of pcgamer in the uk there is a 4 page spread as was previously mentioned ill try to give u the best information i can, ok it says the most dramatic change is that their will be 60 unit types!! and the nations u can play are england, the holy roman empire, france, christian spain the papacy, poland, the norsemen, the bazantine empire, the russian principalities and the islamic almohad!!!ok another big change will be seiges the attacker will be able to purchase artillery and catapults to reduce the walls to rubble, the defender will have options like the archer tower ramparts and artillery towers!! gone it says is the 'simple' honor sytem there will be rpg charecteristics in the game ie govenors, princesses, cardinals, diplomats, papal envoys, heretics, witchfinders, inquisitors, philosiphers and (famous artists???)these all over time gain virtues and vices, it also says it will let u choose these virtues/vices when u gain one and you are in control of the development of your character.btw guys the screen shots look good and the catles look superb, in the campaign selection screen i can see different campaign modes full campaign, early crusadeshigh crusades late crusades there is a slider bar and the rest are unshown, well thats it guys there more historical information but i guess u guys know all that also the map seems to cover most of europe!!

    It is it still turn based on the strategy map for the campaigns?

    Also you can at least scan the pics for us.

    Is that because of copyright? If it is then you can publish 10% of the magazine. Well this would be in Australia. It may be article I am not sure.

    I wouldn't do that swoosh if l were you. PCGamer can sue you if you post material and pics directly from the mag before they publish it to the site.

    Well mine is in my profile. You can republish some not just all of it. But I am not sure if it would be all of the mag or just the article.

    As far as i know the campaign is still turnbased otherwise they would have mentioned it as for units it talks of shock heavy knights so that may be the cavalry u speak of it says the turks have fast troops and good artillery there will be cannons later in the game for seiges and catapults also longbowmen pikemen and shot armies??? also in the pictures i see cavalry with lances and knights on foot or at least i think they are knights lol

    I'm very sorry, Miss Swoosh. It is a bad habit I have.

    + here in NYC "man" can work both ways.
