Re: Sweet "Site of Historical battle"
It applies to sea battles too. Unfortunately the only sea battle that I had large enough to qualify was a Greek(my faction) defeat.

Yupp, someone else said this too, seems like a nice little feature.

Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know
Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time,To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me

Re: Sweet "Site of Historical battle"
Yes, nice touch. even battles that AI fights amongst themselves can be one. I saw where Vicengetorix faught some rebels 30 yrs previous.

Got three of those already and it is only 250-something. I think you can get it when you win with a Heroic Victory, but not all though.

Re: Sweet "Site of Historical battle"
No, only sufficienty large battles are needed. I got an average defeat(at sea) and it was still a famous battle. It involved at least ten ships each side though.

I thought that that battle I had was kind of cheesy for being marked historical but I guess it factored in that my 1 unit of reenforcemnts never arrived and it was still won. It was my generals unit of about 50 men aganst 161 hastati. I did'nt want to risk killing my general and I did'nt want a loss either so I waited for the timer and no reenforcements and when 3 mins hit I charged them and killed them all. luckilyy for me the charge never los its momentum and it was a downhill charge
Theres multiple factors that make it a famous battle. I guess if it's huge gamewise it will be a historical battle.
When a fox kills your chickens, do you kill the pigs for seeing what happened? No you go out and hunt the fox.

It's the little touches that make for an immersive experience.
Sid Meyer understood that.
That's it.
Re: Sweet "Site of Historical battle"
It's the troops involved as a proportion of both factions' total power, the absolute number of troops and the scale of the victory that make it a 'historically important' battle.

Re: Sweet "Site of Historical battle"
I've yet to see one myself but my flatmate got one & its a great little touch :D
Oaty, thats a 2:1 outnumbered battle with an all or nothing, last ditch charge & 100% enemy casualties
Pretty impressive from that viewpoint. Especially if you only had a few units at the time.
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

If one just could save such battles to view them...
