It feels like The unit is doing its own thing but animation that governs it plays later. This shouldn’t happen as animation is what makes the unit move. I believe the current animations are unable to convey the action that is perceived by user’s mind. Example horses galloping, User excepts a lot of speed and courage but the game is unable to covey that. AOE 2 has no issues with any horse animations, maybe add few more frames?
The legs of horses seems to go two and fro like a pendulum but lacks lot of animations in between., pretty visible in the norman trailer.
Good luck devs and may be delay the game for another 2 years and get everything correct.
