The map look is sort of oldschool. I like it.
I've played Sid's game back in the 90ies and every single TW game.
As an example Rome 2 and CA seems to have lost something hard to describe - the feeling, the mood, like really being in control of a 'real' army.
This map seems to give me some of that - that good old sense of quality.
What would the be absolutely great is how you developer guys handle the map scarring?
Because the immersive part comes when I see smoke, craters and burning Buildings and trees
It's the small details, which makes all the difference.
Hoping to see more soon...
