Some interesting things i noticed in the new screenshots.



Notice the first rank of armoured blue knights. They are quite obviously kneeling. It seems as if they prepared spears against the charge.



Notice the yellow pikemen on the righthand side of the screen. The pikes are not only facing forward but also to the side.

I also must say that the game looks quite a lot better.

I noticed that too. Glad to see the pike hedge will be in.

They are quite obviously kneeling

I don´t think so, look at the right flank. I think it´s the camera angle, they´re standing at the ready with bent knees. Why would they kneel in the first place?

And is it just me or do the horsemen in front of the last screenshot hold their shields in a weird angle?

I must say that I hope those horses / knights aren't able to charge through the backs of their allies infantry, or at least receive some sort of penalty for it.

I think that would encourage flanking, not just for the human player - but also for the AI.
