Done in true Total War community War Story style. I guess we are rubbing off on the world of RTS.

I'm somewhat dissapointed with it. I was't a real faction preview. I wanted to know what the Egyptian unique units were.

Yeah I want juicy tidbits of game info! Not the events of 1 game told in story format! All that does is make the review sound like one long drolling advertisement.

You should read the succession games, it's very cool. It would be great if we could do something similar considering the life of kings are much shorter.

Yeah I have read some stories and succession games at www.apolyton.com (http://www.apolyton.com) . There was one going here I think started by Maltz who posted some very good stories here, not sure if they are still here though.

Well, it did have SOME mention of unique units and special strategies . . . problem was none of 'em were Egyptian!!! I saw lots of talk about Trebizond Archers, Varangian Guards, and Kataphraktoi, but I knew about those already!!! :-P

The England one had info about all the units and objectives and stuff but the Egypt one was completely uninformative by comparison :\

England get too much coverage and the other factions dont get enough...
