Latest info on M2 add-on

With the implementation of fantasy powers like that of the Byzantine Emperor's, the battles in M2TW and future TW games will be just another un-realistic, crappy RTS.

Fenring: Particulary this one. I hope, but it doesn't seem very likely, that it's a strat map ability - i.e. convince an army to turn on its comrades before a battle, similar to bribe.

I hope so too, perhaps as soon as the battle starts the units are put under the Byz player's control and wreak havoc in enemy lines.

Seriously all of this pessimistic crap is getting ridiculous.
TW is not going to be Warcraft 3 for christs sake.

Eh you know how people are, an annoying bug or some feature they don't like and they blow it out of proportion, m2tw is a fun game, though I do prefer EB for the time frame.

The "poltics" thing would be quite nice if you can tie it with the authority of the commander. It would lead to some very Manzikert-esque battles.
