By the by, here's the video for those too lazy to look for it: 




The interviewer comes off as idiotic and/or completely clueless about the TW series, but there's still some good footage & commentary by the CA guy. 

"Like we need an excuse to drink to anything..." - Banzai_Cat
"I like to think of it not as an excuse but more like Pavlovian Response." - Sir Slash

"At our ages, they all look like jailbait." - mirth

"If we had lines here that would have crossed all of them. For the 1,077,986th time." - Gusington

"Government is so expensive that it should at least be entertaining." - airboy

"As long as there's bacon, everything will be all right." - Toonces

Love the look of the campaign map, btw.  Also, is it just me, or are the battle maps even larger than in Shogun 2

i think the guy said in the interview that they were bigger maps

for me, and i didnt even know about them, i think battlefield capture points are a great idea

Gusington

The capture points remind me of the original King Arthur game. They added a new layer of tactics and I mostly enjoyed having them but you had to really pay attention or your opposition could win quickly. I wonder if capture points will be optional?

That campaign map looks gorgeous.  I can't wait for this to come out as Rome: TW was my favorite of the series.

Yeah it does look really great, shiny and fluid.

Land and naval combat simultaneously? I may have to grow another arm. ;)

cant think why they never did this before - seems a great idea for coastal battles

Gusington

They took a little baby step towards that in Fall of the Samurai with shore bombardment, which I love.

This is a whole new level though...the galleys look bad asstastic.

Wow!  Thanks for the link to the video.  The game looks awesome.  I especially like the oar-smashing and then ramming another quinquereme
move by the big ship with a tower on it.

Well, it is $60 now and I will not pay that. I'll wait a couple of years and get it at a reasonable price. By then it should be debugged.
