It is revisionist history to say that because the -specific- quotes I chose are not ones that accurately reflect the words they used in interviews about their game, specificaly, that they never said so. I apologize if I chose bad examples, but there are plenty more where they came from.

Trite? Please. Here is another:
Need I find more, or is this, too, taken out of context and twisted around by yours truly?

Edit: Here is another, though this is given by Peggy Kim, from Decisive Battles, on why they chose Rome Total War:

From IGN, on CA's presentation to them at ECTN:

I can't find any pre-release interviews with CA, but certainly they pitched the game to the media as historically accurate, who then portrayed it often and always that way to us. Surely you can recall the press that couldn't keep the words "historical" or "historically accurate" out of their previews? I can recall words from CA as well, more strong than those above. I just can't find them at the moment. After all, the game has been out for almost a year.
Thanks
