There's a new video out, featuring the new vegetation in a forest battle with Aedui vs. Sweboz. Here's the tweet.

Throwing distances have not been tweaked according to the new animations.

Wow is Rome 3 almost out already ?

I am still afraid that 80% of the units will crash into allied or adversarial units before they can throw their javelins. I would prefer upspeeded vanilla-animations.

We'll see what feedback you'll, the fans, give us after the release, our aim is to inovate not to stagnate.

Ah, i just read your comment on Youtube which explains that this animation is only for infantry which throws its javelins before charging. Can't wait to test it out in the Beta!

New videos are good, but I have one criticism of them: you can't see much of what's going on. There's too much zipping about doing this and that, and not enough time spent just looking at what's going on from one perspective.

It's more of a let's play series rather than preprocessed cutscenes or scripted battles where you see only the best parts of it.
I personally want to show what the game will actually feel, that's why it's so chaotic as I do have to control my units or lose.

So what you see is what you'll get.

I just want it to be august already... cannot even look at Rome 2, all the previews look amazing, great work & thank you!

Again, this new vegetation is fantastic. Bravo to the people who did those tree models. Love the birch !

It'll be in the mod, it was used by Scythians, both to make clothing, and as a means of intoxication. Herodotos also mentions it being used by the Thracians for making clothes.

Will the Scythians be able to build coffee shops that give a bonus to public order via happiness (and perhaps with a malus to trade)?

I've just seen the vegetation in the latest update. I have one question: how are we supposed to concentrate on fighting battles when we'll be too busy admiring the views?

These are the sorts of problems we want you to have!

After seeing the video's I wonder why EB2 does not use the no-sprites LOD tweak by default? Makes the game look so much better while flying over the battlefield? Maybe as an option during installation?

Because we don't have any LODs set, thus it would heavily affect performance.

Amazing job, love the vegetation and everything other I have seen in the last series of updates
