    I use them to get more detailed understanding of changes made in patches, the newest one has details that the patch notes don't explain so thoroughly

    I watched one one time, I think it was the shock Calvary one, but any person would have known what they do by playing the actual game. Redundant info mostly.

    The testudo change was good. No idea why it didn't offer higher block chance to begin with.

    While interesting, it's kind of hard to see the point of them with the AI being borked as it is on both the campaign and battle side, TBH.

    I watched them all but it only made me angry...
    I don't understand why CA would invest in the resources to make such useless videos when they could have focused on making in-game videos..
    But at least these videos don't fake the graphics so that's a plus I guess

    At the very least we can give the videos credit for being an honest representation of the game, but then you realise how ugly and poor the battle physics really are; CA become unforgivable either way.

    How about giving numidian cavalry the guerilla deployment attribute as well?

    They were also good at hiding in trebia.

    It's called hype. Or bait and switch.

    Like that guy trying to tell me to go to his insurance business meeting: his only response to a question like "What's it about?" are "Oh you'll love it!" or "Trust me, it's worth your time!".
