Shown here is a siege in action. Lead by the Tauren Chieftain Bloodhoof, a group of five Minataurs, a Grunt and a Shaman storm the human fortification. Blocking their paths stands three knights and a Crusader. The buildings shown include two passive scout towers and an unknown structure at the top edge, possible an Ivory Tower upgrade (Inner Sanctuary?).

One particular thing of note is that mound of dirt shown in the center of the screenshot. No this isn't a part of the Terrain, but rather the Shaman's Earthquake in action. Another enchantment of some sort also seems to be affecting the Minotaurs. Finally we spot the War Stomp icon at the bottom right corner, so far the Tauren Chieftain's only 'spell'.
