    look, if you are going to ask for that kind of killing, you might as well go a step furthur and ask for this. its not anymore going to happen.

    war is hell. its also chaos. no one in his right mind, as Ludens pointed out, is going to kill people in a Konan style move. and as EB is for realism, you ought not to ask for it.

    tired of ridiculous trouble with walking animations? then you need my brand newmotion capture for the common man!

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    yes jesu-I mean frontline

    actually, I meant it as a humorous jab at his request, not a terse reminder. why else would there be such a video included?

    Perhaps I misspoke. What i meant to say was that since it's already part of the game, will the EB team expand on it?

    Disregard my other statements

    I doubt that they will expand on something that really doesn't have much business being in a game->mod attempting to depict history. What's more likely is the entire feature simply not being used at all for reasons explained above.

    @Ibrahim: yes, I imagined that you weren't being entirely serious. I'm sure Kevin realizes it as well.

    This type of animation is particularly difficult to make, since it has to do with two different individuals inside the battle that have to move in unison and coherently. Nevertheless, it can be done, but only heavily based on the vainilla fatality animations to preserve the coherence between the excecutioner and the executed.

    The answer is that yes, they will be tweaked (like most of M2TW vainilla anims adapted to our models and to ancient fighting styles). But just don't expect:

    1º Anything fancy like the fight between Achilles and Hector in Troy.
    2º To be high priority. Other things, like overhand cavalry or accurate legionary fighting animations are prioritary.

    It'll probably be limited to a jab at the crotch or a slash at the throat, I bet. Maybe even a spear thrust at an already downed foe (hoplites with their backup spear point?). Things very quick and deadly that probably won't stand out too much amongst the rest of the slaughter, eh?
