Total War: Roman Style

[Anonymous]

True enough, however, ignoring that the phenomom exists, does about as much good as always complaining that it exists, which is almost as productive as trying to 'change' the whole thing! Even I get bored with 'historically accurate games'/books at times ... we all need mind candy of some type to stay sane, and this is from a guy who can spend up to 3 hours a day using Bablefish to translate german research journals!<br>

I've played some games that attempt to be incredibly accurate, and most of them fall far short of being entertaining because you end up 'Rule's lawyering' everything to death, and spend 1.5 hours on each turn (mostly miniture war gaming), in a game that will take 600 turns to complete. That's enough to turn a person to making chain mail instead of gaming in order to have fun! *shudder*<br>
<br>
Again, if you're looking to educate the masses--not those of us who are already interested in learning more and know something to begin with-- then get out of the Bread and Circus profession, which is all 'games' are to most people--all they are ever going to be-- and start making documentaries that feature really cool stuff and great personalities to pull it off. You *might* actually get 2 people out of your audiences to actually *get* the point you were trying to make.<br>
