The buildings look like an appropriate lot;<br>

<br>
The units though, () are a decidedly mixed bag from a historical perspective;<br>

Anyone watching Time Commanders in the UK??<br>
<br>
From what I've heard the show gets a group of historical and military ignoramuses, fails to prep them adequately and then turns 'em loose to get bludgeoned by the R:TW AI engine.<br>
<br>
After 4 episodes;<br>
The Trebbia River (Rome AI vs. Carthage) W = Carthage<br>
Watling Street (Rome vs. Briton AI) W = Britons<br>
Bibracte (Rome vs. Gaul AI) W = Rome<br>
Mons Grapius (Rome AI vs. Briton) W = Rome<br>
...the results are split 2 to 2 - but this is misleading as the commentary by people who saw the episodes indicates that none of the humans handled their forces very well - especially missile troops and the "historians" don't give very good information.<br>
<br>
The next battle is Tigranocerta - which I personally find to be an interesting choice as the only extant description that I know of - from Plutarch - seems to be MUCH more fantasy rather than history.<br>
