    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
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    The crew is lifting it up probably to move it.

    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 .

    Perhaps it's a picture of a battle with units you'll be able to build near the end of the game, I think the cannons look quite modern too. I have no idea of real late medieval warfare, but I think in fact it's the knights in the foreground what's a little anachronistic on the pic.
