    Default #@#% backseat generals

    I live in a rented apartment with several buddies of mine as we all go in the same university together. I remember in the past when I was still playing Shogun and Medieval and they would completely ignore me. Some of them would come over and ask "what's that? It's looks terrible...", har har, it was irritating to say the least.

    Now I'm playing Medieval 2, and wow! Everybody's an expert all of a sudden, they have their own tactic to share about where to deploy and what to do,... etc. It's still irritating!!! Everybody's praising the game now for all the "realistic visuals" and "awesome battlefields", and if only they had a good computer they'd buy the game themselves, d*mn...

    I think that backseat generals can be very useful, because they look at the battle with more detail, as they are not tanse and concentrated as playeers are. I myself am a backseat general sometimes.

    They give advice that although they think is right, is completely wrong due to their lack of experience making them quickly become extremely annoying.
