Who's still playing?

I'm the same way, I don't think I've ever fired up one of the historical battles. I've read about them in the official guide, checked out the txt files with the units and such, but never actually had the urge to play one of them.

I love the historical camps in particular. You read some text that sets the scene and then, without endless turn hitting of management you proceed directly to an intense large army battle... then you sip some coffe while reading the text for the next etc. Its good :)

i am now going to have give it a good try.

I bet you'll get stuck in the Jean D'Arc campaign ;)

Its nice that they are thematically put together. For the 100years war you play the English first, then the French, for the Crusades you play Saladin against the Franks then Richard the Lionheart versus Saladin etc. Good stuff.

I absolutely adore the "Crusade" feel the battles give you, you're so immersed in it because of the proper geography of the battle map and the historical army units and formations. Epic.
