No never have used Arcade, don't think I will either.

I think its the default setting when you buy the game. So Im sure Ive used it once. Never used it again.

I've considered turning off unit fatigue a few times, if only to get the AI a better chance. The AI is definitely not good at keeping it's troops fresh, often it'll charge them around the battlefield yielding tired or exhausted troops when the units finally engage. I've never gone through with it, however, esp. since it would take away one of the weapons horse-archers have (forcing troops to sit and take the arrow fire, or charge after the horse-archers). Plus, it nullifies "good stamina" virtues of certain unit types.

But the other switches I leave on realistic settings (ammo limits, morale, etc).

Don`t think it is. I turned it on once, just to test it, but I`ve never used it in a campaign.

Im actually living in Oxford now while i finish university, and my parents moved out of Warwick a few years ago to Leamington Spa, which is just down the road. Warwick hasnt changed much really, a few nice new restaurants and bars, much more acquainted to pensioners rather than young folk

The tours of the castle are still fantastic, and if your planning on coming up during the summer take time to see if any good live acts are playing, as theyve had some great gigs over the last few years. I saw Clapton last year and it was brilliant.

If your into medieval stuff then check out Kenilworth castle while your at it too, lots of historic reading which i found very interesting! One of my fave pubs is just around the corner from there called the Virgin on Castle. Its the oldest pub in the area, and is said to have a secret tunnel going to the castle, which has never been found *ohhh*, more importantly the ales and lager are top notch.
