Well in the mean time there are a few screenies posted over on the www.totalwar.com forums.

So one of the Spanish units is a unit of Pavise crossbows.
They don't deploy the Pavise per-se, it sits on their backs then they turn back to the enemy & crouch down to reload.
The Aztecs get some guys that chuck some HUGE arrows at you
French & English knights have had a visual upgrade: new helmets & English have a new war hammer.
The Billmen seem to have a new bill but has a bit of a texture glitch.

maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
Just a guess, but atlatls? I haven't seen any of the new demo screens.Originally Posted by hoom

good the old bill was wayyyy too small for the english billmen, and i still dont understand why the yeomen carry hammers...?
I didn't see any of the 'you spin me right round' move in my one play of Agincourt :)
...but there is a new 'spin' move thats an eyesore
I've also had difficulty getting cav to charge with lances, didn't notice similar issue with original demo O_o
Also some screenies:
New Knights
New bills, hard to see but there is a hook on the back, still quite small though
One of these things just doesn't belong here...

The archers carrying hammers is pretty accurate for Agincourt. They used the hammers to knock in the pointy stakes, and then used them to knock off the pointy French during the following mud/blood bath.Originally Posted by CrownOfSwords
My Amazon sponsored download is currently chugging at a rather slow 11.9kb/s, and is saying I need another 13 hours... Seeing as I'm sneakily using my work pc, I'll have to wait until tomorrow evening before I can take any useful part in the demo impressions discussions. Bah.
im glad the hammers and bills looked silly and way too small i cant wait to see what they look like now. What about the AI is it better? Is the gunner reloading glitch fixed? I really hope so.Originally Posted by hoom
Otumba is very challenging. Frame rate looks improved from the early demo.
What I want to know is this... are we going to see tactically useful terrain, like that small bluff on the right side of the Spanish lines, in the campaign game? Or the hills in Pavia? Is the auto-generated terrain in campaign battles going to be this interesting, and tactically useful?
Yeah, I know... we need to see the final game to know this. I just didn't want to get too excited from the demo, which is very nice. I remember being disappointed in the RTW auto terrain, after seeing the demo.
