    I thought politics weren't allowed outside the Backroom...
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    Wasn't trying to be political, just grabbing a video that has a lot of Sean Pertwee talking. Just ... uh ... ignore anything political he says. That's the ticket, yeah ...

    MTW:

    The immersion factor is what really did it for me. The combination of the subtle yet brilliant campaign music by Jeff van Dyck as well as the sober colours of the campaign map meant that even playing a campaign with AR battles was still incredibly enjoyed.

    As other have mentioned, the fact that most battles were decisive. If a rebel army spawned you had to deal with it or lose an entire province - none of this annoying 2 unit rubbish rebel stacks that get ignored for 50 years because you couldn't be bothered fighting them.

    Immersion through music... I still listen to the soundtracks now and then when I want some relaxing music.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Your comment below the vid is political, in case that was lost on you for some reason.

    Wow I think I should give MTW a try...
    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
    Sun Tzu, "The Art of War"
