Yes it has to do with the animations Ael. They should find a better way to differentiate these units instead of how it is currently done.

You need to get M2TW Ael. You are missing out on some fun. Different, but still fun. :)

We tried in the past (MTW) as playing to where each player picked 4 units and you combined them into one game of 16 units. One would get cav, one would get muskets/archers, one swords and one spears. Or mix them up and coordinate that way. It was very challenging to coordinate your attacks hehe :)
