well it looks impressive but the firearrows dominate the scene a bit as a visual especially when they just strike ground.... they look like pikes.... battle seems ok but is hard to say... we need to find the optimum for the unitsize vs hth-combatlength vs manouvrability.... we dont need 54000 soldiers on the battlefield if it all gets clumpy.... and nightbattles.... i doubt that will be the mainstay of games..... the visual is excellent but like in every serie u will zoom out to full extent for teh battle although i remember in stw i felt pitty for every soldier/sprite on teh screen and tended to zoom in to see how one was doing.... ;)
