Hah, I thought that was the same vid. Anyway, I'm liking what I see. Very much a traditional TW game that seems to expand on what works and limit the micromanagement and grind. Also dig the ability for armies to get 'traditions' and the added info regarding diplomacy. Now they just need to add an actual AI to totally win me over. Also lol at all the hype they made about getting in with the troops during battles. Apart from a unit cam there is nothing like that in the battle. In fact, it seems very much a traditional battle with a few extra toys. I like it. Also very much enjoying the art style. They learned something from Shogun 2.

Only thing that looks lame and forced is the political faction system. Seems very limited and simple, thus making it not much of an addition to the game. Will see. At the very least it will work like a late game challenge such as the civil war in the first Rome or the realm divide in Shogun 2. Looking forward to actually playing this one.
