BBC2 now. That's the Rome Total War game engine they're using, right?

In that respect it was good, but the men just slid backwards when pushed. They didn't fall out of the way, and only a few were gorred by the elephants.

the software - a bit rubbish?

Are you crazy?
Did you see how many seperately animated characters there were on screen? It wasn't like it was a video or anything, there were technicians carrying out the orders of the team on computers, actually playing Rome:Total War.
You can buy that game. It's extremely impressive.

Don't know a good thing when you see it.

Yes, the software could have been better, perhaps they should have got a license for the "Massive!" software from weta digital.

I thought the actual software used was a bit crap. The horses got there and then just carried on running on the spot for a while, and men people got pushed out of the way they just did a wombmalk or something instead of actually walking backwards.

Alright programme though.

The elephants seemed to kill only one man in seven, and just push the other six flying.

I thought the carthaginian's were screwed when their cavalry was routed.
