I like this video. I've always seen Total War's use of fire arrows as being out of place. I practice archery and know how much the slightest increase in the weight of an arrow has on it's accuracy. The worst implementation of fire arrows was in Shogun 2, at least one of the campaigns there, probably the Rise of the Samurai, maybe the others too. There, each guy that got hit with one fire arrow would catch fire from top to bottom and do an impressive fiery death scene, as if he had been sprayed with napalm. Not a big issue for me, it just seemed a little juvenile.

It was then that Cazbol remembered this is just a game and after that everything was ok again.
