I am not quite a huge fan of M&B. Don't get me wrong, I've like the game, and I surely have at least 500 hours in both original and Warband each, but M&B really requires alot more elements and polish to become a proper RPG. M&B represents a combat simulator/sandbox to me.

>>275556605

A game based around the fall of Etruria, circa 450 BCE. It doesn't even have to be Etruria, either. I'd take an expy.

Gameplay is similar to TES, with the ability to explore Australia as you please, but with greater emphasis on survival, as well as the game progressing as you play with Australia growing more and more colonized.

Erm, what's "Medieval" and what's "Dark ages" and whether Medieval=Dark Ages is up to interpretation...

I guess it's kinda like the renaissance where it happened earlier in some places than others. Seeing as Viking Conquest is set around Britain, and I would consider Britain to be "Dark Ages" up until 1066, I'm going to call Viking Conquest dark-ages.

All I want is to be a mayan warrior, fighting in the deep jungles and eating the hearts of my enemies atop pyramids.

Too few games are centered on the mayan empire anyway. I need to get Theocracy again someday, I was too stupid to play it as a kid.

Ancient Egypt. Closest things to it are long gone. Nowadays it's Egyptian themed reskins of Bejeweled or that new Tomb Raider game.

I mean proper Ancient Egypt, Total War doesn't count because it's Ptolemaic.

Also, this was a relevant good game that deserved a sequel.

Mayan/Aztec. Or Egypt. One of those in Assassins Creed format would be great.

Not into the same period. When I wrote Medieval=Dark ages, I mean if they overlap. Obviously the time of the hundred years war (1300s-1400s) isn't Dark ages. But say the 1000s can be viewed as both dark ages and medieval.

that's what happened at first, nowadays the dark ages is used to describe the chaotic period of germanic migrations that followed the collapse of the western roman empire

Holy fuck, this in regards to FPS and TPS.
I mean, nothing against my country, but this overly obsessive patriotic bullshit gets a little tiresome when you see it in so many mainstream movies and vidya.

I want to play as a noble in the 100 years war, or as a soldier of the Mongolian horde that wrecked loads of shit.

It doesn't even have to be entirely historically accurate (I'd even be willing to accept bizarre conspiracy theories thrown into the mix), just as long as it's not about American soldiers during WW2, some retarded ME conflict, or some bullshit OH GOD WE BEEN INVADED by (scary rival power) scenario again.

How do I gain a comprehensive knowledge of world history? There are so many events and people to keep track of it just seems like too much.

>>275566834
Cris Crawford combines some countries; otherwise, there would simply be too many, and the game would be unwieldy.

To play the game well, you very well need to mess around in each and every country (except those that are solidly under USA or USSR influence). If the game had a realistic number of countries - this would simply take too long.

To be perfectly clear I am talking Atlantic Slave Trade period.
