Come on, Lybus! Rome:Total War is A STRATEGY GAME! Civilization III is for kindergartners!
:rolleyes: Total War doesn't have to take aspects from all of human history now does it?
Not everything. But it takes into a account the main factors, and your leaders dont live forever like you do in the Civilization games... I havent played long enough to know how long the soldiers live though... they usually dont live long enough for me to find out anyway. A single soldier fighting another single soldier representative of an undefined number of soldiers isnt my idea of "military strategy".
Civilization 4 is one of the best strategy games ever produced. Any of the total war series games are also very well done.
Agreed, and I'm sure Catholic Samurai would agree too. Hehe
I'll withhold judgment on C-IV since I havent played it or seen it. I dont intend to buy very many video games in the future since my time is very limited, and I want my recreation to be productive.
I actually bought Rome:Total War as a birthday present for my little brother. As desired and expected, he is now interested in Roman history because he's seen so many different soldier/unit designs that he wants to get an idea of what the real Romans were like. I think the unit designs are pretty historically accurate.
But yea, so it appears that video games are not always an abomination then. I heard in my greek class today that they are actually coming up with technology that allows players to move things on a screen with their mind, or move a robotic arm. Imagine what strategy games will be like in the next 20 years. Moving armies with your mind....
... with ME at their head leading them to victory! BONZAI! BONZAI! BOZAI! :good-shot:
But really I wouldnt put anything like that on my head. That would be way too hypnotic and would disconnect you from reality to a devastating level. It would definitely not be something constructive or beneficial to your mental health!
