I was playing the demo for Imperial Glory a few weeks ago and I noticed it had many similarities to rome total war, however the speed of close combat was much faster than the close combat in rome total war.

so my point, have you guys figured out a way to make the combat animations move faster? in rome total war a lot of the time you see guys just standing looking at each other or casually stepping from side to side with their guard up.

rapid fire combat animations would look very cool.
