whats wrong with this picture?

[Trajanus]

And what's wrong with the picture is the fact that the cavalry have no stirrups. Rather silly, really.

I didn't notice that but its true. I hope they put stirrups in the game, otherwise the cav just look silly.

There is nothing wrong with that trebuchay because its in the middle of firing. Cintrifical Force keeps the ball in the sack with a few elements im sure until it is flung forward. Now if it wasnt firing then by all means yes that defies physics.

Please correct me if wrong but i know it is firing because the counter weight is floating is halfway down.

To have Cintrifical Force for that stone, both ropes needs to be attached. Something needs to apply force on the stone to make it go in a cicular movement.

Just A Girl covered most errors in that pic, but as I said, probably stuff that gets fixed later on. That's includes the stir-ups

I'm a bit more worried about thi picture: http://media.pc.ign.com/media/800/80...g_3334162.html

Are the cannons flying?? How can they shot if the rear of the cannon is flying??

The crew is lifting it up probably to move it.

I hope...... because the trebuchets are firing....

And .. it doesn't look like the crew is moving the cannons... I hope I'm wrong.

I'ld say the pikes are wrong in this picture.

The picture doesn't look like 16th/17th century. Pikes were this huge in that era. Mainly (?) because there were many efficient smoothbore guns (the boom was efficient and it could kill at times too). These musketeers were very static, slow and vulnerable for enemy cavalry charges while reloading. That's why an extreme solid and static pikewall was required. And that's why pikes got so tall. A very long polearm isn't great in normal melee.

Pikes in the 13th/14th century weren't this tall.

A similar development took place in Japanese warfare. Initially, yariashigaru had spears as tall as a samurais, 3-4 meters. When arquebusses became common, the ashigaru pike started to grow up to 5.6 meters (some 18 ft).

Correct me when I'm wrong, please. It won't be the first time .
