Battle Replay weather conditions and Mouse movement ?

[Finlander]

Hey, Is there a possible way to have the same weather conditions in a battle replay as in the original battle?

I had an epic custom battle in a dark, dense forest in Germania when it was raining while the field was covered by a light mist, but the replay literally isn't the same in a bright day with birds singing. It is a pity if the replays can't show special weather conditions, which is one of the important aspects that creates a right atmosphere for battles.

Other issue I found was with the mouse scroll button. In normal battles pressing and holding it will allow the player move the camera freely in the same position, but in the replay battle pressing the mouse scroll button would "jump" the camera backwards.

The scroll button issue may not be much of an issue for a casual player, but those who want to create cinematic footage or pretty pictures will find it an annoying setback in a workflow.

I have been trying to find a solution to these but I am clueless on the issue. Maybe some wiser could help me out? Thanks,

Forget replays...they are totally buggy so far.
I fought a battle defending a fort against an enemy yesterday. He was attacking me from the north and I could hold them off easily.

In the replay, however, he was attacking from the south and just rushed the capture point. According to the replay I lost.

It's just saving the orders, the player has issued. The AI is playing the battle again during the replay and will most likely make different decisions than in the original battle, resulting in a different battle.

Until this is fixed, replays are worthless.

That really sounds odd, Prof, and not good at all.

Making cinematic videos should be possible without relying on replay at all, but fighting in live mode will make it more tiresome when you need to give orders to units while shooting pretty shots.

I hope they at CA can fix it this soon.
