Barbarian Invasion - updated FAQ

[Chester]

What blows my mind is that CA will release a game set in history and at the same time cover it with a thin veil of fantasy.

I'm not sure why they would not go that extra mile and just make the game historically sound. Their best excuse, and also their only defense, is a poor excuse and no defense at all. They go on about how only a small number of fans actually care about history, they then ultimately taper off in to some BS regarding the destruction of game play and fun factor.

So they leave it up to the modding community who has brought the game closer to historical settings and not at the risk of game play. Sure the mechanics are not perfect, but that's only because CA will not allow that with all this secert hardcoding mumbo jumbo.

I think it should almost be illegal to micky mouse history like CA has done. I'm sure right now some kid or adult is trying to impress somebody with their extended knowledge of ancient Britan, and how they use to have a designated head throwing freak who tied heads around his waist.

Sure, you can argue that the any one trying to score dinner conversation from a video game is a twit, but I'm sure we all have at one point, and CA needs to come to grips with this, they're just setting up poor bastards around the world with hidesouly inncorrect BS.
