Giants VS. Town Guard

I saw this preview video of Eschalon Book 1 and it showed a bunch of Town Guards fighting with Timberland Giants in one scene. Where is that?
That screenshot came from a very early alpha build. The first draft of the storyline had you raiding the Giant's village with the help of a team of soldiers (a book in the game still talks of the mistrust between Humans and Giants). As the rest of the game came together, it became clear that we needed to alter the storyline just a bit for numerous reasons, and that event was removed.
That is the problem with showing off screens from such an early build of the game- game events and graphics rarely remain the same all the way to the end. It's sort of like watching a movie trailer and seeing scenes that don't make it into the final cut of the film.
