In one of those threads (don't remember which, and don't really feel like going through 100+ pages) there was a link to battle scene from Italian-made movie about renaissance princes. It went something like this: man-at-arms on one side, begin with some kind of speech, then gallop at infantry hidden behind some fence, which is destroyed by the pikeman to reveal cannons. If anyone could help find it, I would be grateful.

But you see that they have flintlocks? They're from later period, at least from second half of 17th century. I think the creators are not supposed to reach that far for inspiration in generally renaissance feeling game. But that's my opinion.
