[Mirez]

thats quite a lot of decoration for a catapult....
How do they move it around?

[Infiltrator]

With magic.

[Darkström]

Why does everything have to be shiny? C'mon, the catapult? -.-

[Variol]

All that is new, is old again...

[Skullmane]

I'm certain that's a trebuchet

The orcs will probably deploy actual catapults, as they're less complicated.

Although this catapult does use a counterweight, it also has a rigid arm. A true trebuchet uses a sling.

[GreatEmerald]

It's clearly a catapulchet!

Troops look fine to me, but I just noticed, where are the stack size indicators?

[Skullmane]

I guess it's just some "Screenshot mode", since there's no UI whatsoever.

[Variol]

Actually, I think that's where the hero is placed to be sent over the wall. I never figured out how they could make a melee attack in H5. It should not have been allowed; until the front gate was knocked down.

Hope that there won't be a need for using recources to buid a new catapulchet every time oneone needs to build a new one. Would probably cost me 10 wood and ha decent amount of gold. Hasn't anyone invented wheels in Ashan?



Also: how the heck to griffins fly around with all that extra weight on them? Dragons I can expect to be wierd but even they don't have armor. Or am I just the only one who finds heavily armored flying beasts counterintuitive?

I actually pity the poor bastard that has to put armour on a griffin.

"I actually pity the poor ******* that has to put armour on a griffin. "



Don't know about that. I think someone at Ubi just thought that they put them on themselves. Wouldn't suprise me.

How does that little Ammo Cart hold all those extra Titan lightning bolts? A Dragon couldn't even fit in the First Aid tent!

[agni]

this is what happens if you give artists 'creative freedom' and there's nobody to oversee the results.

[LongDarkBlues]

That's preposterous - whatever failings this game might ultimately have, the art design has clearly been rigorous and consistent. You might not _like_ it, but it's obviously been thoughtful, intentional, and, I'd argue, successful.

[ThunderTitan]

A trebuchet is a type of catapult... philistines.

And they obviously put it together for each siege, and transport it in a box (you know, it would actually be cool if they added a little box for your horse to drag around the adv map if you have war machines with you).

<<How does that little Ammo Cart hold all those extra Titan lightning bolts? A Dragon couldn't even fit in the First Aid tent!>>

Lithium battery at the bottom, duh... And of course the dragon doesn't go into the tent, they come out to treat him...

[Kranyum]

so yea, more screens showing the new shiny units and nothing about gameplay. I bet all you game-graphics suckers will dig it and cough up the cash... lol... pathetic

[GreatEmerald]

Clearly you haven't read any replies or realised that this is called "Picture of the day" for a reason.

[oUcH]

I cant get over the radioactive paladin...so iritating.
