I honestly hope not. Religion could really have been portrayed differently than roving priests converting countries in a matter of years. It takes much, much longer than a few years to convert a country from one religion to another, and generally more than one bloke doing it.

What!

No!

Look at St. Paddy! Then look a Henry VIII. That was instant! Whoooosh you’re a protestant!
Dissenters will be a ~~foot~~ head shorter.

and this is an other reason i do not like the it department in the work, access denied on all pics the only thing i see is the translation.

cry with me someone:(

Intresting detail in the screen shot Sir Beane pointed to is that there appears to be cannon towers, which would be good

The building destruction in this shot looks really cheesy. Hopefully it looks better in motion.

Thats an old screenshot so hopefully the newer build of the game looks less like a house made of Lego collapsing.

Why are each of these links bringing me back to the same screen shot of the little triangular village? I'm not seeing demo or cannon towers or...

I think I found the one you were speaking of, though this one led to the fort.

The physical model they used obviously lacked any internal structure, at least at the time of the shot.

The result was as though someone set off a fire cracker in a playmobil house and the various components popped out. All squares and rectangles.

The little fort is interesting, but what is more interesting is all of the ships you trap if you take it.

Odd ships though. Some look like some sort of odd Dutch Flutes with 4 masts. I will pass my inclination to get technical on the ships, however, and only say; that if ships could fire on troops, taking this fort would be no walk in the park.

They could be Fleuts. They will probably appear in the game as a merchant ship for the Dutch. If I remember correctly they were the first shIps to be mass-produced to a standard blueprint, and made cheaply to increase profits. If so it makes them a good candidate for a researchable technology.
