First gameplay footage still pre-alpha, final game will look way way better than this

They are showcasing the romanticised version first - after all, it is basing itself on the famous epics.

With regards to the new game mechanics, particularly the heroes part, you can definitely see the Warhammer TW influence in here which will definitely make it appealing for W:TW fans. We'll see how this will be handled in the historical part.

Meanwhile, a random hero of the next historical game:


I don't mind the Slavs wearing Adidas trousers. I don't mind the auxiliaries in Empire Divided dressed in copy-pasted from Attila Hunnic armor. I don't mind the misspelled French marshals and Iranian kings. But I am disappointed at insincerity.

When your game is so obviously modeled according to Dynasty Warriors, in defiance to both the Romance and the Records, at least have the guts to say so.

This has longer footage, pauses on interesting stuff, other details etc

Looks pretty good I think, at least bits of it.

I really hate the idea of another game where all infantry can just climb the walls.
Like he says in this infantry just walking up & climbing walls basically negates the purpose & value of walls, I'd much rather see it restricted to specific elite/assault type troops or something.

Whats the historicity of Trebuchets in this time & era? Wiki says weighted as seen here is not till 1200ad but rope pull aka mangonel is back to 400bc so technically wrong but sort of forgivable.


Both Romance & Historic modes sounds like a really good thing, aspects of the Romance version sound pretty fun but I generally would prefer a historic version so both is good.
But possibly means balance issues between modes where they can't balance one properly due to the balance of the other and/or might cause a lack of attention to one/both versions.

Here's a vid with commentary from CA guy


And another

This is still based on Warscape from what it looks like.

Interesting.. and with the massive chinese market on pc games out there, makes sense commercially too..
