Anyone notice the new video? It's REALLY good, realistic and epic looking, and brutal.

Heh... Until they talk aboutthe units they have just copy-pasted the faction description from the game. Look at the 187 screenshots.

Saxons should be fun to play. They sort of have Britain all to themselves and once that is conquered, then they have quite a strong base from which to launch further conquest.

Interesting...
5 barracks levels
4 stables levels
2 archery levels

But only:
4 infantry units (not including peasants)
2 cavalry units (not including warlords)
1 archery unit

I guess some of the levels will give just simple +1exp to existing units.

The siege right?
It is damned good. It has a very ominous intro where the barbs are marching into sight of the city, with all those torches in the distance.
