Well RTW was a 12+ age rating and MTW2 KINGDOMS is a 16+ age rating.
I think ETW could and should be even more bloodier!!! On land you've got drilled infantry armed with flintlock musket's formed up in rank's and delivering a deadly massed volley fire and then a fearsome bayonet charge.
Artillery had improved and their crews better trained than their medieval counterparts.For the lucky ones death was instant and for the unlucky ones a boucing or even rolling though the grass cannonball could still take a foot or leg off.Field medical assistance was rare and generally kept for the officer's
and gentry.
Cavalry carried a heavy sword capable of slicing though both skin and bone.
At sea ship's cannon's could fire various type's of shot and rake a enemy ship's deck causing horrendous casulties.
I think not only will we hear order's being issued from officer's and the sound of battle, but also the sound's of death and the cries of the dying and wounded.
