Why were those shut down?

Imagine EB on the history channel.

EB could well be used on the history channel, it's accurate enough...

I saw Decisive Battles on tv not too long ago, in the middle of the night or something, and it was the one about Crassus. I remember seeing all those purple guys and laughing at the stupid CA color coded teams, now portrayed on the History Channel.

I saw a few of the Decisive Battles episodes on the History Channel a while ago. It was cool to see such massive battles running flawlessly on the RTW engine (oh how I want their modified version of the game! Not to mention their computers...), but beyond that it was vanilla through-and-through. Horrid uniforms, ridiculous physics, and no attempt at fixing skins or animations. At least the battles weren't fought against the AI...

Though I did like that it gave a decent visual representation of those battles, but I never got to see Time Commanders. That would have been interesting...

For pity's sake, show some respect - EB would be nothing without RTW.

That's some fine "mess" if it can produce EB.

From time commanders I remember river Trebia, the alexander one and the one where the greeks assaulted that city as the best ones. The team in the Alexander and Hannibal one battered the enemy, although Alexander ended up dead.

hum.... I was thinking...

Why doesn't the EB team get in contact with the produces of those shows and give them a preview *hint* a video of Battle of Magnesia *hint*

While I can't speak for Decisive Battles Time Commanders is not all it would like to be. Particually in the later series. Stamford Bridge being a prime example. I wouldn't use it as a source.
