Loads of new pics! (Portugese mag exclusive)

You know, in some screenies you get the impression that the battle field map has indeed been extended - especially in the siege ones, and no, I don't think it's still confined merely to historical battles. Let's hope that's the case, that is.

Also, that main menu screen looks very nice

One of the screenshots says "restricted area" on the campaign map, so it would seem that the whole of the campaign map will indeed be in tutorial, but one will have no way of interacting with it.

And yeah, that multi-walled citadel does look too large to have been built for another 200 years or so (not that I'm going to complain about getting to play with a big castle). Also what's with the English mail pants?

If you look at the screenshot of the Portugese unit roster you can see a crossbowman with what appears to be a pavise. Also a figure for the attack of arquebusiers- 18. So, pretty high, but perhaps not high enough to decimate those Gothic Knights? I guess we'll see.

the campaign map really looks nice. on the 4th page of the screenshots, the upgraded farming along the main roads looks impressive, do i see sheep roaming in the country side? maybe on increased farming levels new resources may appear like wool trade.

How this for a Historical inaccuracy...

William was 38 in 1066 not 50...

Not that I really care but someone might get a laugh out of it...
