Time Commanders what did you think?

[D*H*D Mad Mick]

I thought the RTW was excellent. The detail was excellent, some of the action looked a bit daft. For instance then all the horses were moving and their tailes were all swishing in perfect syncronisation. But gnerally it looked gr8. Cant wait for game to come out, just hope it runs on my computer. As for Time Commanders it was very good. I even knew one of the contestants, from my chess playing days. Thought the presenter was a little on the dull side, but to be fair he will probably improve as series goes on. The experts were pretty good as well. I wonder if all the battles will be Roman or maybe some different era's?

Hello http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif
I havent seen time commanders so I cant offer a view on the quality of the show. What I do think is that the BBC seems hell-bent on producing cheap programmes.I saw the trailer for Time Commanders and instantly thought: they are ripping off Total War
Now I discover that in fact, RTW was the game used on the show.
I suppose it proves one thing, namely that Total War is extremely popular at the moment.
By the way, the Janissary Heavy Infantry is my best bet for MTW

Greetings Dragonfish and welcome to the .org http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I think that Time Commander was a good enough show, and no doubt the cheap program means the BBC can spend more of my licence money on fame academy (bangs head against wall repeatedly). Anyhow I think its good for promoting what will be a great game so its all good from my end.

Anyhow enjoy your stay and may your Jan Heavies never feel the wrath of my gothic foot http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif

Probably not, since they are so much quicker http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I wish I could see Time Commanders. Those who can, please scan the video carefully to identify possible new features.

i think the chess player should have been in overall charge, she had several good suggestions regarding tactical moves during the battle.

a damned good show http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Hmmm, I was rather dissapointed by Time Commanders as a whole.

The footage of RTW was fantastic, and there was nothing wrong with that. But the show was poorly filmed and the presenter just anoyed me.

Next time I will only turn it on for the RTW footage.

Nahh she was on the right spot.... I am pretty sure that if she was in command her lieutenants (those who were the generals thus), would not have been able to carry on her orders onto the field... nor would the feedback to the generals be that great....

They should have not used that presentator but just let these two history buffs do a co-presentation... I love such british enthusiasm.... silly buggers http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

i think only one was british, i think Nausberger (spelling&#33http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif is canadian or american. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

I think its doomed. It's quite clear they have not really got a grip on how the show is supposed to work as a show. The generals never even used their battle display table, no douybt becuase they only had 15 mins to develop a strategy and the presenter spent half the time explaining how to plkay. And they didn't know much about their units. They should be brioefing thre players and the audience separately, and the military experts who have their head around what is going on should be used more constructively by working the generals map for them.

Fantastic footage though, absolutely fantastic.
