Hi!
I am wondering if someone else has noticed this. I've searched for a long time but can't find this issue being mentioned anywhere, which is quite frustrating. Basically, I am a long time Warlords player, but recently began trying out the BTS expansion.
While I think BTS has been a major improvement in many ways, there's one thing that bothers me: I really don't like the changes in unit animations. As you can see from the videos attached below, BTS significantly changed the way units are animated when on the move. As clearly seen in my example with horse archers:

I really don't like the way cavalry now appears to kinda swing sideways in "curves", which are particularly noticeable when you make a turnaround. Also, the animation speed here is too high, IMHO. Compare to the elegant, slower paced "smooth" transition in Warlords, where cavalry moves in a natural, straight line in all directions. Same thing for infantry, although visually at least, the change doesn't appear to affect infantry as much as cavalry.
Do you know if it's possible to revert the animations back to Warlords style? I would guess that these changes are probably coded somewhere in XML, in particular CIV4FormationInfos.xml or similar, which shouldn't be too hard to tweak. Any suggestions?
