No, your point is well made with those quotes. However it's a question of degree. To you, mayhaps 95% accuracy or more in the game is the goal. Personally I find that interesting, and I'll be sure to download the EB mod when it's completed. To CA, maybe 65% accuracy was the goal. They make some compromises for gameplay, and to please the majority of their customers, but try to work the history in a good bit as well. For the most part the game is a decent approximant. And at the very least it applies itself to historical elements more than is traditional for games placed on the mass market. I'm sure the more thorough research being done by your team will be vastly enjoyed. But I'm also sure that CA did indeed put a good bit of research into the game. Maybe not for all factions, but based on the product, they worked at it. Could they have worked harder? Yes, but I find the game enjoyable, and a whole heap of people share that opinion.
