Some of the MTW animations are truly ugly. Maybe some people have a powerful imaginations, but blocky units pricking each other with pins - it sometimes seemed like that, could never be better. Seiges in MTW seem very crude by comparisonm There are patches to come, countless text files that can be adjusted by anyone of moderate intelligence. Aspects like trade with cities importing and exporting - all animated according to volume - seem so much better than MTW. Now cavalry seemed to play much better in MTW. MTW is probably better balanced unit on unit at the moment. But remember that future patches should bring a better balance to it all.
