    Default New screenies

    Some new screenshots up here- http://www.computerandvideogames.com....php?id=143738

    I like the street-fighting ones and the campaign map building descriptions, especiialy the bit about converting to cities from castles. If they're old feel free to crucify me.

    Looks pretty cool. The campaign map w/ building descriptions looked very interesting. That campaign map pic #9 showing parts of the Middle East, especially Jerusalem, was the show stopper for me. I can just imagine marching on Jerusalem in the first Crusade.

    why does in the part of the UI in which you can switch between the views for the army, buildings, etc...stand army twice? (over the place where the unit cards are)

    Awesome screens.
    Like the fact that the screens weren't taken at a high res like they usually are and still it looks great.

    The white country is Poland.
    Denmark has conquered large parts of their lands and in the screenshot, those 2 provinces is all they have left.
    Also funny, HRE has been destroyed by Milan(I think).

    The castle/city issue will be very interesting to see if CA have pulled it off. Do you build lots of cities for plenty of money (but no cavalry or archers) with peasants and supplimentary mercs or for castles with no money for a limited high-class army? Or a balance of both? If this system works it'll work well I reckon.

    Just look at this one



    The Moors, the Turks and Poland are gone. Milan has lost pretty much it's entire kingdom to Denmark(!!) and at the same time Denmark has lost it's home province to France and some of it's provinces to rebels.

    Wow! Good find! These screens are great. Love the 2nd one with an actual cross carried around the battlefield, ala Kingdom of Heaven. It'll probably a morale booster, like the Eagle standard was in Rome.

    Edit: That guy to the left in the eight pic, does he have blood on his sword? That's an improvement, no? Blood, or no blood.
    AND, it seems like you can change cities into fortresses and visa versa, so it's not a final decision you make when choosing castle or city (which is really good).

    Looking at that picture it looks like they sent the cross into battle! I know people back then were convinced of the power of god but that's ridiculous...

    These pics are great, good job finding them! I love the way the City/Castle thing will work, ill be able to capture a large settlement like Constantinople, make loads of high quality troops with a castle, then once ive pushed the campaign further away i can convert it to a city to make some cash to pay for the next castle.

    I just noticed the cross thing too, you'd think they would protect that better Uh oh theyre gaining on us! Quick throw the cross at them!

    As mentioned earlier i wonder if itll work similar to the Golden Eagle standard in that it can be captured and recaptured for morale boosts, if it is part of the True Cross as believed in the Crusades, there could be some hectic campaigns launched to regain them

    The campaign map textures look awesome. I'm not sure I like the buildings' unit cards though, the round ground under them make them look pretty dull. Also, the north eastern, the south eastern and the the south western territories are much too large. I hated conquering those parts of the world because going from one to the other could take years.

    Hey could someone post the images in this forum, I am at work and can't visit game sites because of our filter. But I can view them if someone posts them here. Thanks in advance.

    Looking at the screens it seems that it is very hard to maintain a large kingdom now.
    Maybe loyalty will be more important now.

    All of these pictures scream awesome. (Minus some of the UI, still a bit meh)

    In the 12th screenshot, UNITS DONT SKEWER THEMSELVES, YES! The blue dudes are clearly walking through the sticks but just getting slowed down.

    If they just flat out jumped onto the spikes I would've been dissapointed.

    Byzantine invaded the Turks in one screenshot and in the other dominated them!

    Beautiful screens but looking at the UI hud in several of the pics at the overview of the map, it appears that battle maps are no bigger than RTWs, a big disappointment for me if true.
