...patched it and fired up a battle - some hypothetical affair w/ Octavius vs. Antony outside Alexandria (I don't believe they fought a pitched land battle against each other, did they?).<br>
<br>
Anyway, the word that came to mind when viewing this battle was...ANTS! That's right - it looked like someone stepped on an ant-hill. I could barely distinguish between horse and foot - let alone different unit types. Antony's forces were some vague color of green and Octavious was kind of maroon. Giving orders didn't seem to make much sense as the AI (was there any?) just seemed to go it's own way.<br>
<br>
I didn't much enjoy Legion because you didn't have any control over units once the battle started - but this was even worse.<br>
<br>
BTW, the battle took forever to load, telling me that optimization was not on the To Do List.<br>
<br>
I didn't even have the heart to try the campaign.<br>
<br>
Overall = I'm back to waiting for the R:TW demo.<br>
