Looks like some French pikemen (and archers? some of them seem to have quivers of arrows) under bombardment by English bowmen. You can pretty clearly see what the stakes look like. Interestingly the English are also firing fire arrows. Does this mean units will have more than one "special function?" I sure hope so.

Well maybe the stakes can only be placed at the beginning of a battle, and not moved during the battle itself.

Other than that, good to finally see some pikemen, in stead of the usual bling bling swordsmen

interesting how some of the pikemen have quivers. Just eye candy or is this unit a pikemen/archer combo ? maybe a special ability of some kind ?
My guess would be eye candy though, because I doubt the skin/model variations can actualy have different functions in the unit. But it's still weird they give pikemen quivers.

Lets hope those flaming arrows don't turn into napalm bombs and burn troops to crisp on first contact..

Is it just me or do the unit flags look a bit crap?

i think they look better than the RTW ones... they look more 'formal' and simple

and that shot is great... this is actually getting me a little more exited
