[ket222]

how much better or clearer are the graphics for soldiers and terraign? one comment said hardly at all is this true? very disappointing if true can't they make the soldiers a little larger and easier to make out?

From my own subjective point of view, I'd say the screenshots look a bit better than ones from the original version. By no means a revolution, but enough tweaking makes for perfection.

For what my single battle experience is worth, the Korean Spearmen and Mongol L.Cav units that I used to rip apart and scare away some defending AshiXbowmen looked pretty well defined...almost approaching that 'miniature soldier' look. Unfortunately, I only got to try that one battle, so I haven't seen any of the old units to compare the graphics to.

I wouldn't expect any great changes, from the little I've seen, but a few nice touches.
