I have seen these TV shows regularly, and on looking closely realise that in many cases, the units in the battles have glossy armour, and that sometimes there are even new units.
now, they would be very useful for 'spicing up' the vanilla game, and looking at the few pics i can find there seems to be at least 15 new units that could be implemented. these are some of the pics...

Now i know some of these are hidden in the game's folders, and that some are merely colour swaps, but if C.A did help make these 'new' units, then it would be really great if they could release them to the public as an 'add-on', to the game. Even if not, if they could generouisly offer them to us I for one would greatly appreciate it.

Also, the videos in Decisive battles are of superb quality, and they, if able to be distributed, would make for excellent historical battle making, and if they are freely available and i am being stupid i would like to know.:2thumbsup:

The guys in the top picture are basically the cohsen axemen from bi with a shield and spear. The mdeosl do not exist in the game folders as far as i can tell, and neither do the ones in the bottom pictures.

Episodes of Time Commanders and Decisive Battles were once available to download but not any longer due to copyright issues

That's indeed silly, cuz there is no other way for us who don't live in the UK or have an insane amount of TV channels to see it.

I could not agree more...I'm actually waiting for series to be repeated - last time I only managed to record one episode

Which recreated historical battle is this one? Looks as though its the Greeks vs the Vulcans judging from the opposing spearmen! Spock would be proud! :eyebrows: ~:thumb:

Seriously though, I've seen quite a few of the episodes of Time Commanders / Decisive Battles, the way the've been done is very impressive, such as the camera work and unit skins / models. Think one of the most interesting battles was the Hittites vs the Egyptians - heavily concentrated chariot armies - which ended in a stalemate.
