    We are trying our very best. Duelling is between particular agent types on the campaign map. More will be revealed as time goes on.

    As you can see though we are going the whole hog on combat animations for the battlefield too. The hand to hand fighting with swords and muskets etc and the different weapon loading animations rocks.

    It was mentioned sometime ago that the Jacobites would make an appearance if the situation was right and certain conditions were met. Are you able at this point to elaborate on this in terms of hand-to-hand fighting? Will the Jacobites from the highlands be portrayed historically as broadsword and targe armed? Will we see brutal hand-to-hand fighting between highlanders and British redcoats? If not will it be easily moddable? Cheers!

    Actually a minority of them used broadswords and fewer used the targe.

    At the Battle of Killiecrankie 1689 there were still a large number of highlanders using the two-handed claymore. Into the 18th century most favoured the basket hilted broadsword and targe. Small numbers (by 1715 - Battle of Sheriffmuir and 1719 - Battle of Glenshiel) would carry the lochaber axe and muskets.

    Well things had obviously changed considerably by 1745 then.

    all these animations are way cool, and it all looked greeeaat on the video, but please, please dont let the pursuit of good looks take a front seat to making it a good STRATEGY game, with good grand strategical, and tactical, AI that behaves if not brilliantly, at least reasonably sensible.

    please.
