Uh Nu Buh is making a Joke and commentary on our wonderful game, am I the only one who gets it? O.o sarcasim is broken in some people...
It looks cool but the main actor is way overacting, Im not sure he actually has more than 40 command skill.

It's not Vans and it's not C'tissians. 300 Van Hirdmen (sword and shield, see?) vs 1 million Mechanical Men would be a better comparison. The archers aren't shown, but they're probably just massed indies.

Well, they aren't well armored, they are infantry, but they certainly seem to be sacred with some dang good bonuses. EFW9 is my guess. Maybe some others as well.

(vastly re-imagined) Battle of thermopylae I believe:

Got some ogre types and some sorceror types in there as well. The theatrical release shows some more stuff.

Maybe they're EA Vans?

Whatever they are, they've got an A9 bless as well.
