My God I think most of those battles look shockingly bad, they are way too fast with little structure just a lot of running about like idiots.

Unbelievable, not buying this rubbish that’s for sure really disappointed much much worse then I imagined.

Are you kidding me? The battles look great, they are vanilla battles, not mod game battles where a fight betwenn 5vs5 units take 30 mins. But if you want to miss all the fun, your bad, i will enjoy the game for both of us.

And stop calling it rubbish, that is just rude and ignorant. how do you think you are? do it better....(yes of course you say i can, but no you can´t)

I have a right to my opinion and it is you who are being rude not me, you would almost think I had somehow insulting your good self.

If you think those battles are good that is fine by me I think they look awful have you a problem with that?

I see a nice Roman bubble formation, very historical, so for me too this battles are rubbish, hope is just 'cause of the player who made those roman units run.

Blame the player, not the game. Of course there's no structure when you just select a dozen random units and charge them all in together en mass

@ Modestus

You're over-reacting. It was mainly player-caused action that created this effect. You should be more generous; this is the best game we've seen from CA so far.

Has anyone else noticed that soldiers look like a blop of bright blue (or red in case of the romans) when zooming out?

It's made on purpose so you can easily distinguish your forces from the ennemies from afar. Otherwise, you'd just see a big grey blob. I prefer it this way.

Gotta restudy some German now...scheisse.
Thanks for the vids.

[=Vastator=]

This is an old build, but i hope that will see much more improved combat mechanics.
It seemed more a command & conquer game than a TW one

The battles look absolutely atrocious

[Zipzopdippidybopbop]

The battles are too fast. They need to slow it down a bit.

Graphics as always are amazing, but they need to address the battle speed.

I also could have sworn I heard a Principe unit shout "FULL SPEED" at one point. If my hearing is correct then whoever came up with that idea needs to reconsider their career options...... 0_0

That was probably the trarii unit they have a sprint ability (like the yari samurai)

Those battles are awful. People actually die and the battle actually progresses. brb cancelling my preorder.

Yes into big blobs.

Here we have the Roman bubble formation very effective against other bubbles.

And here we have lets all attack the exact same guy.

Well my point is not really to defend CA or Rome 2, there, since all those years after Shogun 1, they might have made the battles change a little more and take another direction than where they went after Rome 1.

However, your critics are a bit harshes.

How do you think the battlefield at Cannae looked like at the end of the day ? Nice cherkerboard formations ? Or a bigblob or Roman troops being encircled by a thinner blob of carthaginian troops ?

And here we have lets all attack the exact same guy.

I am not sure if what is the more to blame there is the pathfinding/targeting system or how the guy use his units though...

[HinFoo]

didnt they say early on that you wouldnt be able to give commands while you got the overview map up?
