Gameplay in Slow motion

[the Leper King]

I don't know how many of you already knew this but you can play battles at several different speeds including slow motion. While the battle is active or when you have it paused, hold te shift key and then click on the speed arrow keys on the battle HUD. It goes from speed 0.1 (really slow) to 6.9 (fast). I recently went back to playing medieval 2 after a long spell of Empire and I never knew that medieval had the same slow mo cam until I accidently held my shift key while changing the game speed I think I might have given this old boy a few more years!

Yeah, its quiet cool. I like watching cavalry charges in slow motion...it looks so cool. Its rather odd when the charge hit homes as the men who fly up in the air also spin around when your going slower than 0.5.

Your stealing my thunder Leper King LOL . Seriously though, it's a feature that needs to be talked about more because so many people don't seem to know about it, and frankly I think it adds to enjoyment. It's nice to be able to play, stay in control and still have time to watch people duking it out.

Its pretty awesome. Its such a joy watching Greek flame throwers ignite a bunch of rebels in slow motion lol. I dont even think this function was in the Manuel which really sucks for folks that dont know :/
