Today The Creative Assembly released another episode of its videocast Rally Point showcasing some really interesting elements of the upcoming Total War: Rome II.

We get to see pike phalanxes in combat against infantry, against cavalry and against other phalanxes, and we also get a glimpse on the animation pipelines that give the game a much more cinematic look than Shogun II.

You can check it out below, and make sure not to miss the Super NES cameo. It's obviously the star of the video.
