    Default Time commanders new series success or faliure?

    i think a complete success.
    Richard Hammond:very good
    Experts:good if a little over-dramatic.
    Set:improvment
    Battle:successful and unlike series 1 all the units you can get in rome:total war

    What do you think?

    I was very impressed with the show as a whole. but i was a bit disappointed that they dont get to learn about their own or the enemies units, the whole emphasis seems to be on just getting in there and seeing what happens. The whole skirmish thing was the best new thing

    They give the team more time to practise (skirmish before battle) and to think (2 pauses during battle). It really helped them to stick to their plan and not get overwhelmed (sp?)

    I think they learned a lot from the first series and how awful contestants were on it.

    At any rate those Vicars were brutal... I got a phone call from my Mother who was watching the show, she's also a vicar and thought they did very well.

    Especially when they have 3 roman legions to back em up

    Yup, this is much better than the first series. The producers have learnt from their mistakes.

    I expect RTW will get more sales as a result. Nice timing - it is now on the shelves, so anyone watching tonight can go into their local shop and buy it tomorrow.

    Do you remember the frustration after watching the first series of Time Commanders and still having to wait to play it yourself?

    How I would love to be able to watch BBC2... This sounds great. I loved the first series, undoubtedly I would drool over this.

    I thought it was mostly an improvement. I prefer to the new host to the old one, and the lack of the "Victory imminent" thingy is nice. Shame about those darned klaxons ...

    Those vicars were scary; love thine enemy indeed. Host: "One of them is saying 'Don't kill them; they're women!'. I can't repeat what the other guy said they were."

    We can definitely say for certain that TC does not have the team fighting against RTW's AI. I doubted it in the first series. If RTW's AI fought like TC's enemy armies then there would be very little complaining about how dumb it is.
