Last knight....

           Last night I was looking around the Microsoft FTP site and I found the poster ES used for their opening ceremonies a while ago. To satisfy my curiosity I downloaded it, although it was 35 megabytes. All I hafta say is WoW! It's incredibly realistic. If ES puts half the quality of this image into AoK, AoK will be the most beautiful game to be released in computer gaming history, Great job ES!
