Quality is poor but it gives you a good idea of what the actual battles now look like - as opposed to "trailer" pick and choose battle scenes.

There is also one of the Strat. map - woohoo

Positives - man this stuff really looks great overall - and the controls appear to be straightforward.

Negatives (minor really) - I don't like/get the big grey arrow that appears left or right mid-screen in some shots -wonder what purpose it serves. The Flaming Pigs are just about the dumbest thing I've ever seen

Very nice A m8 of mine just showed me these, they are very short be warned. They have some very nice features in the movies like the terrain in the Guals vs Romans or the prep talk by the general Sweet

Flaming Pigs are certainly going to be one of the more funny aspects of the game... Useful only for stirring up War Elephants. (and for the post battle victory feast, imagine them with a couple of fried eggs)

I have to say I kinda like the look of those flaming pigs

And the fights look REALLY epic now WOW
