I just saw the new trailer. OMG, woah. So stupidly excited for this. And, as an aside, so not happy that the ancient weapons class is scheduled against the boarding actions class at ISMAC.
The bit about the Persian troops looking like monsters. Disfiguring the front-line soldiers was an actual battle tactic.
And yes, there's going to be lots of historical things that people can nitpick here and there, but that's a rant for another time (short version: screaming about accuracy in historical fiction is ridiculous.) I've been meaning to post it in my LJ, but I had an argument on this subject with someone recently in her LJ, and I don't want her to feel like I'm picking on her - it just happens to be a pet peeve of mine.
