G&K + latest patch: No Death Animations for Bombardment and Range attacks?

[Emperor Giulio]

First off, I have to say Gods and Kings includes many excellent additions to the game. I can’t wait to get home and play, so I can discover more. But I have one concern, what happened to the bombardment death animations? Whenever, I attack or kill another unit with a range attack or bombardment, they simply disappear. The same thing goes for ships, they used to blow up and sink; now they just vanish. I don’t want to sound sadistic, but it was pretty satisfying to see those death animations. Is this just a glitch they need to work out, or is this an attempt to tone down the violence?

This seems to be a patch thing rather than G&K thing; I'm seeing the same problem on two post-patch, pre-G&K computers. Definitely seems to be a bug. While minor, I agree that it would nice if they fixed it; there's something weird about units just disappearing rather than dying.

I was wondering about this. Glad it is confirmed. Seems like a fairly obvious bug that can be fixed quickly, unless they take their sweet time with the next patch.

Glad it's a bug, and not an attempt to make it more PG.
