I just watched this battle. You are being very generous, Sp00n when you called him awful. Regardless of the fact that the defender seemed utterly clueless, I just see the same horrible battlefield/units that RTW introduced. There appears to be an attempt to reintroduce the war banners and standards but they are horrible, tacked on and lack the finesse of the originals, 10 years ago. I don't see any real progress.

As for units running up castle walls, I fail to see why anyone would fight a seige (I'd never fight one anyway but for those who enjoy that sort of thing) all you do is put yourself at a disadvantage by restricting movement, while the attacker can just run up walls in seconds.

Utter rubbish.
