There was a lot of things that scared me in that last video. The units started routing after like 30 seconds of combat for the Egyptians; the javelin graphics too. It just seems like their continuing there fast battle mentality from shogun. And what's worse is that I heard the guy doing darth mod won't be continuing into Rome 2.
Now maybe they had the difficulty set on easy, idk. But still that battle lasted like 10 minutes
And by the fuck aren't they displaying the testudo formation yet?
If you listened in the video I remember the woman asks him about the combat speed, saying it looks very fast, he replies stating that in the Historical Battles it is, but apparently not in the Campaign, or maybe he atleast meant that in the final game it wont be, perhaps it is just this way so he can quickly demonstrate a battle. I wouldn't have watched the whole video and listened to what was being said if it was 30 minutes long lol.
The javelins as I already said myself "I hope they are just placeholders", but I'm 99% sure they are placeholders, the final version will see a much smaller, finer and better looking trail. There was a similar uproar about the arrows trails, but they too turned out to be placeholders and the final version looked much nicer. Personally I'll just mod them out anyway, projectile trails ruin the immersion for me somewhat.
