Hey you went ahead and posted screens up anyway :beam:. Excellent :2thumbsup: Those videos are great, but I cannot understand German at all so these screens are very much appreciated.

[Greyblades]

Nice pics! Cheers. Especially this one

Those Hand Mortars have very fruity looking uniforms. Aren't they leopard print feathered hats?

apparently all walls have cannons that can be manned by any unit.

[Greyblades]

Hmm, maybe we have found a use for our now useless generals bodyguard?

[PanzerJaeger]

Many thanks, Marten! :2thumbsup:

[ArtillerySmoke]

Anything so far that shows the AI shooting itself in the back repeatedly, depleting their unit?

I'm really hoping that's not making it's way into the retail version for us.

One thing that was really bothering me in the demo was just how unfinished and sloppy a lot of the melee animations were, they just felt "clunky". After watching the land battle video It's easy to see that a lot of the problems i witnessed are ironed out.

Melee still looks a bit off but it's nowhere near the mess it was in the demo, i'm happy for that.

[A Very Super Market]

I can't believe nobody mentioned the ELEPHAAAAAANTS!!!!!!

These screenies are all awesome, and maybe cavalry isn't that bad after all

[BeeSting]

Thanks for the humor, Marten. :laugh4:
