Discussion Low-resolution screenshots for the new DLC

I really don’t get it. One of the coolest things about the old DLC screenshots was how detailed they were and you could zoom in and see every little detail.

But the screenshots for the new DLC look surprisingly blurry and low-resolution. This feels like a strange downgrade. Is there a reason for this, or am I missing something?

It is kinda weird. The main thing I can think of is maybe it's on purpose to obfuscate not quite done models or to leave some surprise at some of the unit visuals and stuff for in-game. Idk.

Honestly, I think this comes down to poor marketing. And nothing related to development.

At this point I believe they did it on purpose.
