Historical Accuracy: How Important Is It to You?

[Kor Khan]

How important do you find historical accuracy in games? Or more particularly: How important is it for you that Total War games, expansion packs and mods be accurate? Do you think you'll only play a Total War game that's been modded to make it accurate, or do you even like a bit of a artistic license to make the game more interesting?

Me: Historical accuracy and realism are nice, but as long as the gameplay's good, I can cope with some fantasy units. I think there are bigger problems in Rome: TW than historical inaccuracy, such as ultra-fast movement and fighting (admittedly also a realism issue), bad AI and a small amount of units that don't have much variety.
