Physics and new features

Not stabbed. Hit by a massive hammer.

But still, a man wielding a hammer surely doesn't have that much power!

I'm struggling to call a linear flow down the river "physics". Nice idea, but really it isn't physics. If it was physics wouldn't they end at the bottom of the river, not floating down?

No, because if they die outside the water, there´s enough air in the lungs to keep them floating. Only a body of one who´s drowned sinks to the bottom. Or, of course, a very heavy armoured body.

Who wants to volunteer and see if a cataphract sinks?

Well when they float down stream it is more of a slow spin then a linear flow and yes my friend this is called a physic.

The main purpose of this thread was to see what people thought about some of the new features that have appeared in the demo so far. What do you think about the bubbles that appear behind a unit when they swim or the sparkles that appear on the unit when it levels up in valor? do you like these features or should these features be able to be disabled.

I for one would like to be able to disable the white sonic sparkles, and also have the option to disable the bubbles but not the entire splash effect.

cheers

Hmm, didn't catch the sparkles when a unit levels up. I must admit I don't understand that one as the game tracks exp per man, not per unit.

Floating down river though is a nice touch. Not something I do or don't buy a game for (I prefer gameplay and interface enhancements over graphical touches) but its nice to see for the immersion effect.
