Hi everyone, read with humour......

Excellent point Nepal, this is a game that the player redirects history, not re-enacts history. We make our factions behave, as we would like. We are not bound by history; it is a game of our destiny, our re-making history.

I guess we should all complain when the Moors invade England in our games and take it over, or conquer Rome and convert the papacies religious believes. But I guess the disbelievers are right, CA should set very specific limits on our choices and the AI’s choices in game so we can never stray from the beaten path. Seems boring to me.

Scotland never fighting along the Spanish coast carving out my own piece of the Mediterranean I can call home. Setting up fine castles drinking a fine scotch whiskey watching the sunset and planning my conquest of North Africa.

But a knock on my door it’s the great AI god in the sky…. Oh sorry King Malcolm but according to my book the Scots never conquered England, Normandy, or Spain, and what’s this about heading off to Africa…. nope sorry back to the fine glades and lochs of Scotland for you.

Cut scene……………………..

“You have lost your empire to a mistake in following the true path. Please start again, please read the 1,700,000 HISTORY OF THE WORLD read me file enclosed with your game”

It’s a game. If you want history exact then read some history…or go out and take up something and make history…. find a cure for cancer, a new source of energy, get off the arm chair and become destiny. Because this is where you can make your own pretend destiny, and I am darn excited about settling into my armchair with a fine scotch whiskey kicking some Spanish butt so they never find the Aztecs. And if the Aztecs find me excellent cause I will kick their butt back to that great lake where they came from…try to take my villa on the Mediterranean…hey if you had snow ½ the year you would fight tooth and nail to protect your armchair in the sun.

Well laugh all. It is only a game. And again my qualifier for this site…. I am only joking.

Have a great snowy day.
