> And AFAIK, the camera is very customizable, but I'm sure GC or jverkoey can answer that better.
Zoom in/out pretty much as far as you want, rotate, lock onto to specific units, whatever you want. The only thing that really takes some getting used to is the unique way they implement fog of war. You can see all the units on the battlefield, but until your units get closer to them, you won't be able to move the camera near them. That is, the camera's mobility depends on where your troops are.
As for the graphics, I think they're pretty damn good for something that routinely has thousands of guys on the screen at the same time. The angle JV has it at in that isn't necessarily the best for issuing orders to your army; the scope of battles is so big that you usually don't zoom in that far.
At the very least, it's a lot better than the last game in this series (Medieval)
> GC told me about this game like half year ago, and it still full price at BestBuy
I actually just noticed that today when I was there. The game's been out since freakin October, you'd think they'd drop the price a little by now.
