They play a siege battle where you can see the ballista's knocking down the walls, you should watch it if you've missed it at the ending here. http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/setView/videos/gameID/191/videoId/1098 Its 24 minutes long and the siege is on the second halve of the vid so bear with it. mmorpg.com has some interesting vids where two AoC developers walk you through one of their test games.

Then next time I saw it at X06, I was even more worried. I'm still not convinced that this is going to be anywhere near a good game. Some very good friends have been trying to persuade me that, in fact, there is some really interesting stuff going on behind the scenes and that this will be a much better game than anyone is expecting. But, honestly, based on that video, I'm still not convinced. The first time I saw Conan at Gstar, I was worried. Then next time I saw it at X06, I was even more worried.

I want to like it but I'm so fed up of MMO combat now. I like to feel it when I smack someone with a sword, the sword should actually connect not just swing and play a slash noise. It's not a bad thing per se, I'm just sick of it, and in every video of this I've seen the combat works that way :( Also, it was a little disheartening to see the whole "building rising out of the ground during construction" thing but the fact you can actually build cities seems cool. It's got good scope though, I'm going to keep an eye on it. Even when I dislike how MMOs look from videos I usually have a different experience when I play it. Poor Age of Conan.
