    Default a few more questions

    Why is there a Jesus General if Jesus had no army?
    Why is there a colliseum in Rome but not in Greece?
    Why is there not a video of battles?
    Why do they allow you to change history with historical battles?
    Why do they allow you to conquer any settlements you want?
    Why no historical campignes?
    why no create-a-unit or create-a-faction?

    The fun for me with total war games, and most other people I think, is the part of changing history. By playing as the Gauls, it makes it more fun to stick it to the Romans and change history. Thats what the game is all about. If it wasn't and you had to stick to history, it would be kinda boring wouldn't it?

    As coldknight said. If you don't have the power to do what you will, then where's the fun? RTW's replay value would be basically 0 if you could only do historical things. So instead the player has the ability to do as they wish.

    why no create-a-unit or create-a-faction?
    because there isn't. making those sort of tools would have taken CA much longer todo (if even possible) and rtw might have never been released until 05.

    Play nice children, atleast dont' make it that oblique. There's no voyeuristic fun in it that way.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    THIS IS A GAME, STOP TREATING IT LIKE REALITY! You will find it makes more sense that way and you can ask less questions.

    The ability to change history is what makes 'historical' games good, to succeed where others have failed. A game that follows a set historical course would be boring. Its not real life just enjoy it as a 'game'.

    How DARE you deny the existence of the Lord. My belief in him is enough. If you believed in RTW hard enough, you'd see Him.

    I have a question:

    Corinth (the town next to the Statue of Zeus) starts with a stone wall. But it starts as a Large Town. Large Towns can only have Wooden Walls, so does everyone else's Corinth defy the laws of the game, or is my game just different?
