Yes CBR, it is all a bit worrying. At first I played the demo and thought " they start off in yer face and that's the reason it feels rushed " but having played Alioven's 1.12 it becomes far more obvious. It is ridiculous to see infantry units chasing cav around. I see MP being a disaster if inf run speeds are left untouched. The potential is there, the graphics ( has anyone zoomed down in amongst the units and watched the arrows? Superb! ) the beautiful maps...and then to have units rush around, with armour, carrying shields, weapons etc, changing the game commands when they were already very good, for no apparent reason........

I suppose SP will be very nice, very immersive and when it comes to battles the pause button will help slow things down and you can always count on the AI to pull some silly stunts.

I'd like that kind of immersive feel in MP battles too, we've had some great hour long battles where you could watch the battle unfold. I doubt we would get many of those...probably all over in 5 minutes.

Let's just wait and see....and hope we are wrong
