blakstar: EDOT: And just to clarify, yes, I know Braveheart wasn't a Ridley Scott movie.

Sachys: [snip]
I mean, for all its flaws I love Kingdom of Heaven - its just tosh on any kind of accuracy, but so is Robert E Howerds idea of Conan being some "dark ages" warrior. Doesnt stop it being fun! :)

Now... TO THE BEER!!!
This being on the web, I must immediately point out that you're TOTALLY WRONG!

The author was actually Robert E. Howard. :-P

Elmofongo: 1. If you think Braveheart and Kingdom of Heaven are unrealistic portrayels of their battles than don't get me started on the Battles in Lord of the Rings I mean why did so many Uruk-Hai brought Pike Spears, which is typically used against mounted calvary, to a siege of the Fortress of Helm's Deep?
Thts purely a fantasy film though - based upon a fantasy seriesl of fiction works - not historical happenings / characters. O____________o

You do know the difference between those things, dont you?!


o__________O!!!

Elmofongo: 2. Yeah thats one of the things that dissipointed me is that we can only have so few units to use. I mean at best the largest you can get is 1500 soldiers by using 1 type of unit that has 75 soliders. And not only that I hate that I cannot make catapults hurl the rocks over the walls to flatten whatever soliders are behind it. And the settlements feels limiting to where I can position soldiers before starting the battles.
Um, I'm pretty sure 2,200 is the base limit (without modding).
My point was that battles were not that big on the whole - mostly famous ones were...
And you still havent found out about the cows yet?! O_____o

Aren't you nitpicking a bit here, given your earlier example? You do know that Conan was just a fantasy character as well, right? :-D

And even then the Battle of Helm's Deep was somewhat grounded in reality I mean there was no magic or anything too spectacular and fantasy, the Orcs were no different then just really beefy humans and I am pretty sure explosive weapons to destroy walls did exist in some form back in the medieval times and if not at least its not too out of the ordinary.

Still its too small a size.

So did the later Total War games increased to size of units? How much can Shogun 2 and Rome 2 can have on the battlefield?

And I hope Warhammer will have at least 10,000.

Exactly my point!

Elmofongo: Like is there a medieval war story that follows that 1 individual solider among hundreds and how he feels during battle?

Sachys: Not really - unless you consider the local folklore on Robin Hood, perhaps, but that focuses more on the betrayal by the papacy than anything.
Speaking of Robin Hood, I just saw the 2010 video and well the movie included Richard I of England and well I can see now why he's called "the Lionhearted" because the dude certainly looks and sounds like a Lion ;)
