Gentelmen,

Campaign Cinematic. Heroes talking on a stronghold wall.

Men cornered by Orcs...




Menthorn rebels fort from Chapter 8 - this is what mobile army camps look like by the way.

Sorry Witch King, I can only squize 4 pictures per post, so I had to edit your post and get last two screenshots in here

Battelfield in all it`s gory glory.



Cinematic - heroes talking.



Looks awesome as always. A few questions I had are:

1. What are those pictures of those guys heads on the third screenshot at the top left hand corner for? One had a 3 by it.

2. Can you build bridges over water to increase the size of your forts?

3. Can you expand your forts by dragging out the walls or something?

4. Do those subtitles in the black box come up in skirmishes and online matches?

Thanks

Wow. Looks great as ever.
That bridge on the 5th picture just doesn't look safe XD

I think I remember that bridge from Indiana Jones

And that screenie that was the wooden castle fort with the dudes pouring out of it armed to the teeth... thats gold guys, pure gold.

No problem. One more question. Are the Menthorn rebels available for the men to buy?

PS What do you mean by mobile army camp? Can you rip it down and build it up somewhere else the same way it was?

Thanks

Pretty much - this is our solution to forward base building. You can read more about this on the DoF website - Army Camps.

They're just elements of the single player campaign/storyline, I don't see any indication they have anything to do with online/skirmish.


Those army camps look pretty elaborate, just like Romans used to build 'em in the good ol' days.

One big diference between the roman and these camps are that the Romans only had one set of wall, and they didn't had siege equipment in the forts plus the Romans prefered to take the battle outside the fort.

I guess it wasn't standard practice but if you remember the siege of Alesia (the final battle of the Gaelic wars) the Romans built two layers of fortifications although each layer was supposed to defend from one side so you could, in a way, look as them as single walls.

And they did use artillery to help the defense of their camps.

They're not the same of course, it's just that the palisades and towers from the screenshots remind me of some images of roman fortified camps I've seen during the years. But I'm sure some of the other armies built them in a similar way too.
