New gameplay footage, as promised for this week:

This is 'just' a pre-Alpha demo (the game isn't due till the second half of 2013) but I have to admit I'm tremendously impressed with the look and feel of the game - the camera swoops easily from a top-down plan view, through a cinematic panning shot of the entire city, right down to the level of the individual soldier. Carthage looks amazing, from the realistic use of terrain (I imagine?) to the graffiti adorning urban buildings.
That said, we're still looking only at one small part of the game, and there still isn't much indication of actual gameplay.
