Love this trailer. You got Gauls, Germans, historically inaccurate Spartans, Egyptians, Parthians, etc.

Must say, the way the do the Javelin throwing is now pretty good. They run, stop for a second, toss, and then charge into melee.

Still got the laser tails like shogun, but I can live with it. That'll be modded out anyway.

Look at the armies in the top left corner of the screen. Only lasts two seconds.

They're twitching around madly. It happens at other points too, everything on the map is weirdly sped up, but you can see one of the armies headbanging at top speed there.
