Just finished watching both previews and my thoughts so far are:
looks alrightish I guess. Buildings look quite nice, but units look rather cartoony and less detailed, as well as being rather large (human units I mean) when standing next to buildings.
not a big fan of the UI though, kinda reminds me of Halo Wars (Also can't shake the feeling like it's being designed with Xbox in mind, not PC entirely, which would make porting to Xbox pointless as most RTS games have in the past).
Also found it a bit odd how they showed off China vs Mongols instead of any other nation in the franchise, but I guess Chinese marketing?.
After what Relic did to DoW 3, I'm quite sceptical on how they handle this, but visually, it could do with some more paint (like I said, the buildings are fine, but the units and animations need more polish, esp since this remains the last AAA RTS left standing, it needs to stand tall, coming from a trillion dollar company like MS).
