XIII Century: Death or Glory / Blood of Europe

[mitra]

I picked the gold pack up. £9.99 for the expansion and a second copy of the main game is better than £19.99 for the expansion alone. I was intending to recommend the deal in the bargain thread but the org server was playing up and I couldn't get the thread to open. Gah!

Might hit the campaing trail today.

"
Fighting follows the traditional rock, paper, scissors dynamic with spear units annihilating cavalry, cavalry decimating archers and so on which is to be expected since that’s how it was in real life too. Unit psychology has also been very nicely modelled with regiments panicking and running for their lives when the odds seem too stacked against them and staying to fight until the bitter end if they’re experienced and heartened enough.
"
"
One area where XIII Century: Blood of Europe absolutely embarrasses the Total War games is in how big a role terrain plays throughout the course of a battle.
"
"
As a tactical experience, Blood of Europe is far superior to anything Creative Assembly have produced in the last eight years.
"
"
When we compare it with the battles of the Total War series what we basically have is a classic case of brains versus beauty and personally, I’m opting for brains every single time
