That guy is good, he catches all the details one would miss. Also breaks down screenshots to the pixel. And when the info is old, he makes them sound new.

Is it true that we can stalk the enemy untill we are ready? It's not like old total wars were u place Troops then start battle? I never knew that sounds great if its true

This is what his man says:

1. WHEN YOU ARE BEING AMBUSHED YOU INITIALLY DONT HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR TROOPS IN BATTLE MAP. NEITHER WILL AI IF YOU AMBUSH THEM.
2. THE AMBUSHED ARMY WILL KEEP MARCHING IN COLUMN TO THE END OF THE MAP
3. THE AMBUSHER CAN MOVE WHENEVER HE WANTS - HE CAN LET AN ENEMY GO IF HE THINKS THEY ARE TOO STRONG
4. THE AMBUSHER CAN MOVE HIS TROOPS TO WHEREVER HE LIKES (I DONT KNOW IF IT MEANS PICKING THEM UP AND PLACING THEM DOWN OR MOVING THEM LIKE IN BATTLE.
5. AS SOON AS THE AMBUSHER IS SPOTTED BY THE ARMY BEING AMBUSHED THEN THE ARMY BEING AMBUSHED IS GIVEN CONTROL/AI WAKES UP
6. YOUR AIM AS THE ARMY BEING AMBUSHED IS TO LEAVE THE MAP OR FIGHT OFF AMBUSH

Personally that sounds awesome, kinda makes me want to play as one of the barbarians. Even though they are sub-humans.

Woo didnt know all this thanks cant wait for the 3rd not to long now. As the guy in the video said, makes playing as the Barbarian tribes so much more fun

Awesome, i hope an Arab faction can be made playable. Either through DLC or modding.

imagine being ambushed by an enemy who uses this as their battler cry, i think it'd be more scary than the germans
