super graphics wasted?

the close ups of the battles are without a doubt the best ever; men tossed into the air by elephants, or knocked off their horses......but at the distance required for you to control your army, what is your impression? To me they are tiny and not pleasing at all.

To me it even at a distance the graphics are a big improvemnt, but you right its not as noticeable. And with everything going on all over the map you really don't have time to zoom in and enjoy them.

The zoom will probably best be used for replays when you can sit back and enjoy the battle after the fact.

The pause button just became more useful. Now you can pause, tell your men what to do, then watch the great graphics! It's a win win situation!

hummmm, I dont think you can pause in multi-player, and i dont play single player; oooing and aaaaing i think will get old as did the cut scenes in Shogun.

Not like it takes long to zoom in with a wheel mouse. And it's kinda hard to avoid people looking small at a distance.... because they are small at a distance!

Well let's face it, for you MP only folks, the whole campaign map and strategic aspect of the game is a waste!

There are many ways to play the game. I'm glad the graphic detail is there when I want it. The troops and animations look splendid. The entire battlefield looks better IMO without the giant banners so I have turned them off.
