I'm less of a movie buff and more of a gamer so I'd totally watch history buffs reviews of historical games.
and for you and your channel, it might be a good thing to cover more than just movies, while there are many historically inspired movies, you can only make one video/series each, adding games only means less risk of running out of options later on.
totally agree
Ebon Hawk
Same here my man
Even from one single game you could do several videos, for example, the many campaings that you could find on the Age of Empires saga (at least the II and III have different campains throught history). I would really love that and I know that many paople would too.
I would love to him do a review of the game called Kingdome Come Deliverance as it is known for being so very detailed and is laborious for the player and developers. Since he reviews movies all the time I don't think he would be able to spend the 70-ish hours to complete the game in full
What a weird movie review
Congrats on 100k
Justin Y. *G H E Y*
No way you watch History Buffs as well!?
FUCK OFFFFFFF
Justin Y is cancer
*MOTHER OF GOD*
*HE'S EVOLVING*
You mean how the generals become Big ass Titian s.
that's great right
+The Venator
MxR Mod??
Uh.. Life...uh..uh... finds a way.
lol
Whaaaat, you came to our office to play the game?!?!
Damn, only if I knew I would come say Hi. I'm totally a big fan of your channel!
Thanks for the video!
-- Just a random dev passing by
Romance of the Three Kingdoms doesn't get enough love in the west and I understand why: There's almost never a focus on it in shows and movies with the exception of games and they always do Great Wall movies or Mongol invasions but this looks interesting. I'm more of a fan of Total War: Shogun 2 myself but I might give this a try.
The Three kingdoms period is fascinating so i do hope you give it a try. It was a crazy time historically, with the almost century long conflict claiming the lives of almost 50% of the population of China, with a death toll in the tens of millions. This makes it one of the greatest losses of life in human history as a percent of the population. Even eclipsing ww2. The scale of the conflict is mind-blowing for the time period, absolutely dwarfing anything in Roman history for instance with the size of the armies and battles.
RedTeamReview oh boy.. Barefoot asian peasants fighting with sticks in total war.... they should have done medieval 3. But "MuH diVerSitY" so here have a total war set in smelly backward ancient china, where you can make armies of rice farmers in wicker armor and pointy hats. I guess seeing how they made it look like a shitty mobile game for filthy casuals I'm sort of glad they didn't do m3tw.
I see someone has a gross misunderstanding of what the ancient world was really like.
+Rick Styles Obvious troll is obvious
There's a great movie about this period called Red Cliff! and there was another movie specifically about Cao Cao and his empire, I can't remember what that was called.
Ads... They are becoming smarter
Its not an ad if we didnt get paid to promote it. They just invited us over to play the game
Nymeria you're wasting your breath, the close minded will always remain so, there's no point in trying to help them.
Don't be foolish; it's a first impressions video.
To clarify... TCA invites popular youtubers, supplies them with good video footage and expects promotion videos for their newest product. It's nothing more than advertisement for an upcoming game with a pinch of historical information to camouflage it among the actual content of this otherwise great channel
A pretty poor camouflage; Nick states upfront that he was invited by CA and then gives his own impression of what he saw, making sure to state what he actually experienced and what he was merely told about. It may attract people to the game, sure, and certainly the hope of that will be why CA does it. But ultimately Nick made the video and gave his own opinion. If it had been negative CA would have had to live with it. Unless you have credible reason to suspect he was in someway forced or coerced into giving a positive impression then this is just another video and its positive impression no less honest than that of, say, his Waterloo review. Or are youtubers only allowed to talk about things they dislike now?
Yes please! More of this, I will love watching reviews like this on tour channel! Great video!!
Omg! Was so excited to see you cover this!!! Please do more total war!!!
I'm SO glad that you took the time to do a game review! I fell in love with the Three Kingdoms Era and the Sengoku Era in Japan BECAUSE of playing games my Sengoku Musou and other embellished games. I love comparing games that cover the same time period from different companies because they tend to focus on different people (Koei for example is very pro-Oda Nobunaga/Toyotomi Hideyoshi while Capcom seems to favor Tokugawa Ieyasu.)
I don't know how practical it is for you but I'd love to see you touch on games and where they excel or fail historically. Assassins Creed? Other Total War Games?
Also PLEASE review the movie Red Cliff!
So awesome, Dynasty Warriors inspired my love for history, I bought the Romance of the Three kingdoms book when I was 14. It was very heavy but it inspired my love of history. I have actually reccomended you watch Red Cliff before. I am from Saratoga in NY where the battle of Saratoga happened, and visited Gettysburg's twice now. I love The Adirondacks and took History classes on it and very much love Native American history aswell...this all stemming from Romance of the Three kingdoms so I owe it a lot. Don't think I ever would have found your channel if not for it.
You should check out the 2010 tv series three kingdoms by far the best interpretation of the story i've seen so far every actor just fits their role so perfectly also did you hear about that dynasty warriors movie they're making looks like a cheesy good time
REALLY?! A TV show!? I'm trying to remember if I've seen it. I saw something in 2011 when I was holding down an apartment in Shanghai and bored out of my mind. I heard there was supposed to be 3 new movies better than Red Cliffs, but I've only seen the 1 with Donnie Yen when he plays Guan Yu during the time Guan Yu temporarily works for Cao Cao. Three Kingdoms is an AMAZING tale equal to the Iliad with numerous god-like historical officers.
god i hated that guan yu movie like the action and everything else was fine but he didn't have have that epic beard it isn't guan yu without the beard that ruined the whole movie for me but ya the series is eacy to find they have every episode on youtube just type in three kingdoms and whatever ever episode number you want to watch so for you or any new comers you'll type in three kingdoms 1 it also gose by war of the three kingdoms depending on who uploaded the videos the whole thing is 95 episodes so it's perty lengthy but really good story but there are plenty anime's out theres too as for movies the only really good one i've seen there is one called Three Kingdoms Resurrection of the Dragon following zhao yun but i just didn't like that one then theres the assassins witch follows an assassin trying to kill cao cao near the end of his life there are three animated movies witch looks really good but i've only been able to find the first one really red cliff is the best rotk movie i could find the only one i could think that tops it is that 2010 series i mentioned
Your historical inspiration comes from Dynasty Warriors? That game is about as historically accurate as Final Fantasy.
xxFalconArasxx well why not mainly my interest in greek mythology comes from god of war and then i started you research the real mythology and the dynasty warriors games are what drew my attention to the three kingdoms period like sure alot of these video games could be as historically accurate as Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter but for alot of us they're what draw our attention to the the real history or mythology's they mite be based off of
I did enjoy this video and would welcome more historical reviews of video games based in or on history.
Hey history buffs i really love your videos how its like a movie review and a history lesson in one which is amazing. I love your videos. Keep up the amazing work. Your videos have given a better understanding of history so thank you for your work.
Total war: empire and napoleon are my favorites and I still play both regularly. I am definitely getting this one when it is released. I used to spend hours playing romance: three kingdoms game for the ps1. I wish they would release a true civil war game.
Great Video! :)
Please do historical game reviews!
This threw me for a loop when it showed up in my sub feed :D Awesome!
Hey nick! I just came across your channel and am binge watching it! I think it is awesome !keep it up brother
I can't help but feel like this is more of an advertisement rather than a review.
because it is, and that is fine. I don't see the problem with him expanding his income by doing a short review/ advertisement.
he never said it was a review…
He played a short battle. There's no way to do a review based on that, too limited information and everything is subject to change. That being said, I would like TW youtubers to be more outspoken when talking about the systemic Total War flaws.
I don't mind sponsored content, but I feel like he spent most of the video talking about the game mechanics rather than the history of the time period
He never reviewed it. Either way he needs to get paid. What is your issue with this? Unless you're a patreon don't complain.
can we see History buffs- Great escape?
Ceviz agreed
Totally
Ceviz is that the clint Eastwood Alcatraz movie
It’s always good to keep things fresh plus do what you want dude I’d defo watch total war videos though from you :)
Yay I love the fact that you’re doing this
Oh man Nick I still remember when you try to proselytize the Total War series to Korey and the rest of the Spill crew lol.
All hail Hodges the Partystarter and his obsession with those /"nerdy boring"/ (not boring) games!!!
Napoleon: Total War had spies, spy training and spy networks. Empire: Total War had Agents who could be used as spies, also.
Needless to say, I don't think it's the first time in the TW series that you've been able to use spies, it just sounds like they'll be more developed than in earlier TW titles.
Dude, you and everyone else that has thrown the whole "Total War had spies before." Yeah, they did. Not like this. The spies were hardly needed in past games. Now spies can literally be your general without you knowing it.
To me and many others, this is new stuff. They're more useful now.
They might be implying that you can spread false information like you'll see some phantom army in the world map only to discover that it was not a real army when you engage it therefore wasting your time and energy paying attention to it. Or maybe they finally have the feature where you can betray your allies and switch sides while in the middle of battle.
Spies in previous games were used as scouts and saboteurs, not actual agents placed among the ranks of the enemy.
You did pretty well here. I would like to see more historical game reviews like this.
I'm so glad you did this video. I am such a Total War nerd. I'm so excited for this game.
Please do a review of Generation War.
Its basically an german Band of Brothers!
mihai lupu,salut!
Agreed, LUDIO. It sucked. Comparing this garbage to the Band of Brothers is an insult to the latter. Not only because it had historical inaccuracies, but because it also sucked from the storytelling point of view. Characters randomly bumping into each other on, because Eastern Front was in fact a very small place (sarcasm). Characters' behavior was sometimes very inconsistent, especially considering Charlotte, the nurse. And the propaganda... mein Gott. Only real antisemites in these series (except for few nazis) were Ukrainians and Poles. Germans were just "misguided", apparently. Propaganda in this aspect was just Jud Süß levels of bad.
Neon guy 36
Salut!
LUDIO
I didn't see big inaccuracies, unless the Greta del Tores thing.
And about propaganda...
What do you mean with that?
The movie it's not acurate, but it's authentic!
I just want him to get on with doing proper history-based movie and TV show reviews, these would certainly be high on my list though
"Who wants to watch me do let's plays when I totally suck at video games"
Let me introduce you to the Game Grumps...
Great review and nice some total war stuff from you :)
Yesssss, would be awesome to see more impressions like this for historical games
I'm still waiting for Bannerlord . If this game is realesed before Bannerlord i'm gonna be mad 😐👌🏼
I really do not want to get on the hype train but i accidentally have for this. If the 10 years of waiting are not worth it i will legit kms rather than be mad
They released a closed demo for Gamescom, and stated that at the moment, they are working on the optimization of tier 1000 graphics cards. I don't want to sound naive with foresight, but I'm fairly sure that the release date will be announced before the end of the year or at the begginning of the next year, otherwise they wouldn't even bother to do all that for Gamescom
Please if you have time review jinnah. It was Christopher Lee's most important movie according to him.
Thanks for the warning on the archers, i'm sure i'll forget and bungle up my first attempt at a battle (who listens to advisors?).
It's a good short video, looked into the real history, explained why everything is so grand, and pointed out the improvements that you are excited about. (Spies!!!)
Sic video, Sir. I wouldn't mind more of this type.
Can you do a review of Charlie Wilson's War (2007) ?
I am very afraid about the historical mode. In my opinion they haven't shown anything historicaly correct yet.
The combats are extremely unrealistic, even between simple soldiers. There is no longer killing animations so you watch thousands of men killing their ennemy by sending wind at them with their sword.
The game still looks amazing if you don't mind about History, but to me it is the main reason I place interest into Total War games. And I truly think the historical mode will just be a different UI and general system, but that the battle will still look the same.
We'll see anyway, I really expected you to talk about this. To what I understand, at the current state this game is not a historical one.
JSparo
Base in this video there is no historical mode. Standard and Romanesise only.
Killing animations is what killed Empire.
JSparo it’s romanized three kingdoms what the fuck did you expect
lmao no it's mainly the bugs in the game that killed empire.
You could argue that killing animations killed the historical accuracy in other games.
No historical battle involved every single soldier splitting off into duels with another single soldier like in Shogun 2 or Rome 2.
I guess its personal preference, but I'm fine with leaving the fancy one on one animations to the generals.
Loved the gaming related content, an interesting change of pace!
Very nice i would love to see you reviw more games, it gives a nice element into your channel i think
you should do a video on Britannia, it's crazy
crazy in a good way
Do a history buff for Red Cliff plz
I'd love to see you take on a new medium of history. You absolutely nailed every video I've seen so far - even going on to correct yourself when you discover inaccuracies you made yourself. With that said, I'd like to point out that watching great gamers can be quite boring. But watching someone who struggles but can eventually pull through to victory is an age-old tradition that often makes for superb entertainment.
Straight and to the point, told us what you did and didn't know. Works for me.
“who would watch a Let’s Play where I totally suck?"
sure!
Could you elaborate on what the seuce a 'communist way' is?
Some game history critiques would be awesome. Hope you can do some more
I think it was awsome you got to preview the game, and thank you for your opinion. I love the historical total wars games as much as I love historical movies.
👍 for branching out a little.
Three kingdoms is my favorite
Can you please do Black Hawk Down/Battle of Mogadishu???
THIS.
I've been waiting my man, yes!!!! finally yes!!!!!
I think reviewing the occasional historic video game would would be a nice addition to the channel. I understand that your focus should stay on TV and movies, but once in a while reviewing a video game would not only bring variety, it would introduce some interesting discussions about history and its use in video games. For example, I've never played Rome: Total War, but I'm told it is generally historically accurate and can be used as an education tool. You're my favorite history channel on youtube and I think your perspective could add a lot to this discussion.
Any recommended WW1 movies?
all quiet on the western front 1930
Captain Conan, Blue Max, 25 April, Our world war (barely), Paths of glory, Beneath Hill 60
Joyeux Noel, granted its more focused on the Christmas truce but its a nice, heartwarming movie.
War Horse and The Lost Battalion are my favorites
Spies were in the game before. Medieval 2 had them.
Attila as well though they weren't too complex
The first Rome Total War had them as well
original rome:total war had them, and possibly even before then (that's the earliest one i've played). i fear he's been somewhat misled, as this isn't his forte.
Dry Bokes its actually different here where the spy mechanic is completely reworked xompared to the traditional agent role
it's i n v i c t a
I actually dig the idea of a review of a historical game the way you do you movie reviews. I love the Dynasty warriors games and its spin offs, it be kinda cool to see a few game related specials every once in a while.
Very nice, I would love to see more historical video game reviews :)
Damnnnnn
My favorite Historical Movie Channel reviewed my favorite Historical based Game...
Today is a good day
Kinda feel the same. Plus this is my favorite childhood novel..
'Review'
Try out europa universalis IV
David Idiart all i wanna see is him playing a historical paradox game
Harry Senior LooL
+Harry Senior Gotta keep that bloodline pure breh
Add Every Civ game to that list
David Ugarte Miss me with that weeb shit. If you want historical accuracy and authenticity, then you should probably avoid civ games entirely.
Awesome! I didn't even know they were making this. I was a huge fan of dynasty warriors and their take on the three kingdoms. This looks like a lot of fun.
This is dope, do it again!
Try out Hearts of Iron IV. It has a large learning curve, but once you get the hang of it it’s addictive. Nothing else compares when it comes to wwii grand strategy.
bob llama I didn’t want to suggest hoi3 out of the gate, start him off with something easier.
@@comrademcsalty7676 I found HoI 3 much simplier, particulary because the plan system mechanics are a fucking puzzle to me, and navies are much much more complex in 4.
Only thing Ive noticed is less micromanagement, which is always a good thing.
Then download the fallout mod for another 200 hours of fun on a bun :)
I used to love Total wars until they got rid of walls for all the cities.
Love that you did a review of Total War game. I love the historical ones as well. But since there are so many historical movies left to cover I'd say stick to that :)
Can't wait for you're take on Outlaw King!
I don't know how familliar you are with martial arts.
But it seems to me the prevalence of swords is unrealistic.
With a spear you have a massive range advantage over a sword.
But spears don't look cool, so they're less good in games.
And in large numbers spears are even better.
The only time where swords where prevalent was by the Romans.
But they would use spears all the time as well.
I don't know how useful it is to review games.
The most important aspect of that would be to discuss the realism of battle mechanics.
You seem to focus on accuracy of the stories told.
When it comes to games I couldn't care less about the accuracy of the story line.
If you do a review that focuses on this aspect, make sure you make that clear.
total war games represent this. Albeit not to a high enough extent as reality as a wide variety in unit rosters makes for a better game
Total war games used to be great, now they are just arcadey. Now their historical titles turned into a re-skinned warhammer. I wouldn't mind the arcadey stuff on warhammer, but don't use them on historical titles.
This fantasy is part of the way China and Japan understand his how history.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is anything but historical.
They are marketing it as a Historical title, also why they called it the Total War: Three Kingdoms and not Total War: Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Time period for the era is still in debate, but the era did exists.
@@koushinproductions I'm not sure if they are marketing it as historical, from the promotional contents I've seen they are sticking closely to the book. Because it's a mouthful? Yeah, but they are sticking to the book in the story mode.
yonderthegreat, I'm talking about how fast paced the battles have become, gameplay mechanics not actually historical accuracy, I just miss the slower paced battles that made me fall inlove with total war, a few stones from a trebuchet now knocks wall down, units automatically have ladders instead of building them, units movement speed is way too fast to name a few. I miss the times when I actually have some time to watch units fight and admire the battlefield.
Yes!!! Yes!!! I love your channel and the total war saga!!!
Do more of this I beg of you 😭😭
"In an almost Communist way"- see what you did there lol
I think i'm going to give this Total War a miss. This and the Civilization franchise have been a bit of a let down to me personally.
Total war franchise turned to shit when they started doing warhammer games. I wish they'd do a game like medieval 2. Maybe combine medieval 2 with crusader kings 2
Nolan Beck But the Warhammer games were come of the best selling games in the series buy a long shot.
Gongolongo i shoulda said "in mny opinion ". I wonder how many new people started playing total war just because of the warhammer brand name and how many original total war players bought and enjoyed warhammer
A lot enjoyed warhammer you can just read comments or see youtubes, honestly if warhammer didn't happen total war would be dead am not laying the company was getting boring
Total war have just been reskinning the same game for the past 5 years and civ has also showed little advancement and keeps to the very simple and shallow formula with shitty ai. The only hardcore strategy dev left is paradox and all thier games are good but with 200 pounds worth of dlcs.
I, for one, would love to see more reviews for historical games.
Definitely think you should consider it. Love all of your vids.
"Use spies for the first time" ?!
Agents of various kinds (like Spies, Diplomats and Assassins) has been a staple of the Total War series since the first Total War game ("Shogun: Total War" back in the year 2000).
I think he's referring to having enemy officers be your spies.
Your general can be a spy without you know it, silly.
"Use spies for the first time in a complex way"
I feel “Communist” was the wrong word here. “Totalitarian” would have been more appropriate. Communism is a economic system based around the elimination of social classes and the equal distribution of wealth among the labor force. Totalitarianism is a government system based around the total control of the population, often primarily through fear and heavy policing of any dissenting opinions.
Noah Masi same thing.
Timmy Wotsit Not really. Marx’s idea of Communism was about laborers coming together to institute reforms more favorable to the working class, over a number of years. Totalitarianism is usually instituted fairly quickly and involves rapid militarization and absolute control over the population by the government, typically a single party dictatorship. Sure, many dictatorships have been “Communist”, but they usually don’t actually follow its tenants that closely. Places like North Korea and the Soviet Union has more in common with the Third Reich than anything to do with Communist ideology.
We got one!
Morgalucci One of what?
I wouldnt be so quick to throw the USSR and the DPRK under the bus like that. For starters, neither of them took it upon themselves to wipe out an entire race of people and conducted industrial genocide. The Third Reich very much stands on its own on that one, and no matter how you regard Stalin, you should make a distinction between the people who started the holocaust and the people who ended it.
More importantly, both the USSR and the DPRK are countries with decades of history, and within that, there is a lot of ebb and flow. Life in the USSR was incomparably different in 1926 to how it was in 1936, and both of those were very different than life during the Khruschev Thaw, or the Brezhnev-era stagnation. Even North Korea has had quite a bit of fluctuation. Hell, during the Korean War, it would not be a stretch to say that North Korea was actually the much nicer Korea (Look at what South Korea did on Jejudo for example). Of course, by the 1970s, they had a full blown cult of personality, and the 1990s were a particularly troubling decade. There does seem to be some improvement in the last few years, though.
My point in all of this is that all Communist countries, but especially long-lived ones, are complicated societies, and simply writing them off as "totalitarian" does a disservice to the actual history.
I'm a hard core gamer on both PC and console & would love to see you do more game reviews! Like you the Total War franchise is my favorite strategy series and I'm stoked there finally covering ancient China for the 1st time!
Weird, i was just watching on of your videos and, suddenly, A NEW VIDEO
Nah as soon as they added the silly warhammer stuff I checked out
Towll there is a classic mode in the game that place exactly like the old total war we know and love
There's a "Records" mode which is more realistic like past historical total war modes and there is "Romance" mode which is what you just saw.
Towll good riddance if you couldn’t tell that this is three kingdoms which isn’t historical then you were never truly a total war fan probably one of 5ose new regards who thought Rome total war 2 is the best game
Communism doesn't automatically mean dictatorship, just saying. Plenty of other forms of government also have dictatorships.
not all dictatorships are communist states, but all communist states are dictatorships
Yeah if only they could find the right people to administer it... wait no that's still a dictatorship.
Kibbled Eggs everytime a Socialists party gets in control through democratic means the big ol US of A is there to organise a coup and install a fascist.
Communism is evil
Implying that the USSR was dictatorial or authoritarian.
Never thought I’d see the day you would discuss gaming :)
I would love to see you review more games! Especially strategy games
Do your views on Battlefield V.
This is definitely not your forte. I was looking forward to this game until it was obvious the focus was on fantasy and drawing the warhammer crowd and historical crowd together. Somehow the total war games of late have seemed more game and less wargame. Hope I am wrong. The direction I would have wanted would have been more realistic mechanics and less Hollywood as the game matured. Instead we are not only getting compromises and ridiculous game mechanics, we now get a focus on outright fantasy. I wanted to learn more about Chinese ancient warfare through this game. I don’t trust them at all anymore.
There are two modes, the Romance version which is fantasy, and the Records version which is the historical Total War we're used to.
yeah and both are gonna be shit
Scorpions1972to2010 nah just you
Before you call me a hater I will throw my hat into this arena in a polite manner. The problem is that the Historical-mode will simply be the Romance one but without the generals and some mechanics. But the rest of the gameplay is going to be the same for both, same as the combat, units and tactics. So even if you want to stick to the Historical-mode, you will still play the Romance version, simply without the characters. I hope this clarify the argument Destraex Destraex.
DeathmasterSniktch umm it will still have the generals just they aren’t like warhammer generals and are realistic like other total wars
Love it ! Maybe show us your favorite Total game ? I really enjoyed the Rome entries and would like to hear what you have to say about those :) And also, not related to the gaming topic, a review on The Last Kingdom would be awesome !
Could you consider doing a History buffs on the T.V. Show the Pacific. It's one of my favourites and would love to see you do it.
Total war: War hammer ruined the total war series, this is so cartoony compared to something like shogun 2, what happened to the historical accuracy and realism?
Ruined as in made more profit for CA than any other historic title? :-) Rome 2 release was much more of a low point. In the end a dev team can't live off the same 10 hard core fans for all eternity.
MC Mark Markson just because it made a lot of money doesn’t mean it was good just look at all the crapy movies and yeah this one is gonna probably make a lot of money because there pandering to the Chinese market and the government who likes to censor their own history
communist way? really Nick? because no other form of goverment used fear as a tool besides Stalin? or is it because Stalin's regime was is what Marx proposed in his works? i think Machiavelli would like to have words with you.
apo kos personally I'm glad he used communism. Most people would just say fascism or something, but it's nice to actually see someone acknowledge the evils of communism and their regimes for a change. Especially since there seems to be a rise in communism and socialism on the left these days. People need to be reminded of then countless evil acts committed by various communist regimes around the world
He picked that because the communist party rules China
It's because they were the worst in history. More have died in the name of socialism than any other cause in history. Sorry reality gets in the way of your useful idiot status.
drewpamon more than in the name of God? more than the dead because of imperialistic wars? more than from hunger, and desease/infancy deaths that could be saved if it wasnt for the cost in the free market? please, enlighten me.
apo kos Are you seriously trying to make the deaths of people from hunger disease and infant mortality about the free market? All of that happened way before capitalism even existed. And in seven crusades with the densely population at the time it's hard to rack up millions of kills. Just acknoledge the evils of communism ffs.
great video :)
Can't wait to play it! I am a big fan of KOEI three kingdom series when I grown up. Maybe you can do a video of Crusader Kings 2 too? It's really a great strategy game.
Good to see you're working with Creative Assembly. I've been playing since Shogun, just like yourself. Looks they've gone for an interesting mix, of fantasy and historical accuracy in this one, at least it's the correct setting/story to do so.
P.S. I bet you were a big Time Commanders fan as well :)
You did good with this "game" review :) I liked it, and also some info that you said, I did not know yet, so thanks :)
Edit: Btw I found ur channel just because you made this game review :D
I was hopeing for more of a video based on the ambush and the people involved. I think that might be cool.
Red Cliff is a fantastic movie to use for this and for a history buff episode. Great retelling for the Three Kingdoms epic
I am a huge total war fan and I am studying in colllege to teach history. I love your channel and thought your impression were really good. Funnily enough, right before you said it, I was wondering about trade with Rome.
I would be behind you trying some historical games. I imagine it might be more difficult because of the length of some games but it is something I haven't seen done.
Man, not sure what your schedule is but The Borgias would be a good review. Keep up the good work.
Our nerd,
we love you haha thanks for the video
Looks awesome so far
Never heard of u before and I found the video great
I love historical movies and games. Please do both!
I think this is a perfect opportunity for you to explore the rich history of the Three Kingdoms era, and discuss the history vs Romanticizing in the Red Cliff movie, or even do a series from the Three kingdoms tv series. It will take awhile yes but I know you'll enjoy the research!
Ye did great with this review, would be cool to see you do more historical games and do the "History Buff" formula on them, if ye get the time.
I found this guy by half assing my summer report. Thanks History Buffs!
CA: "Oh yeah, there'll be roman stuff in-game."
Silk Road: *mouse over small icon* "Stuff from far off Rome. +2 gold per turn."
CA: "Happy?"
I'll see myself out.
loved it!!!
