Have you guys noticed the detail in the siege weapons fire? In one game I was trying to take out the second inner wall of a castle. Inside the curtain, the AI had an army of men waiting for me. I was watching my Siege guns trying to take out the wall when I noticed that The Rocks will hit the ground, then bounce a couple of times. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

That was pretty cool, but when I watched one rock hit the ground, bounce and smash into the AIs army and put a big hole into its rank I was like COOL. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

It's great isn't it? It is not so large a feature, but it adds so much, well, reality to it! I like it alot too, and I think everybody will.
Have read something by people who where disappointed to not being able to put men on their walls, but guess that was to hard to implement. I'm happy with the bouncing boulders. Have you noticed you can even 'fire' out of range, since they bounce further? This way, when targetting a unit just in range, it's possible you hit another unit behind it which is actually out of (direct) range.
