Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I'm loving the details like dying men impaled by several arrows writhing on the ground, though the hard edges of things is still a bit jarring. Almost all of these guys were still moving when I took the screenie :p

ichi, are my eyes failing me or is your S2TW anti-aliased ?

Here's a few from my Oda game, the first battle of Inokuchi. This one fought against the Tokugawa, the second would be fought against the Takeda which would be much blooder.

No, I left the settings as chosen by the game.

the game screen capture reformats from my wide-screen to the more square format you see here.

I'm not real tech savvy, enlighten me on anti-aliasing.

Um, aliasing is what you "naturally" get as the jagged (pixelated) edges of the visual objects in a game. Anti-aliasing (commonly abbreviated as AA), as you could figure out, is an optional yet almost always supported technology that works by smoothening out of the edges. Enabling it makes a direct performance hit on systems that are not of the highest end. Check this GIF for a practical comparison.

Although Shogun 2 Total War engine supports AA already (check Graphics options screen for that), it is impossible to make any changes to it for now (probably until a later patch that will bring DX11 support).
