New Video in German Magazine

They did? That's not what I recall. IIRC what they've been saying all this time is that they've been working "very hard" on the AI. And now you tell me they just said they're only about to start work on it?

If so, what do we make of their earlier statements? Empty hype?

Also it seems a little late to start working on the AI now when the game is only three months or so from release. Are we about to get shortchanged by CA again? I find your comments quite worrisome Legio, and I hope you're mistaken...

They said they had finished everything but AI now, so that the entire rest of the time will be devoted to AI. That hopefully means they have more time left for AI than they've spent on it so far... I think it's possible to fix an AI in the time they have left, but if their artists have made animations and stuff for too fast movements then there's little hope movement speed will be fixed by release - which worries me more at the moment...
On the positive side the artillery has very nice animations and doesn't seem overpowered in kill-ratio this time (impossible to tell at this time whether morale is overpowered or not).
