Time commanders

As a big Total war player and modder i felt it was a bit disappointing.

They used unmodded Rome 2 on small unit sizes, so even the Zama battle was basically just a skirmish, the vanilla gameplay is also far too fast and arcade like which doesn't suit the purpose of the show, you saw how in an instant the slingers killed almost all the cavalry units.

They need to do much bigger scale battles with slowed down combat speed to properly allow for tactical battles to ensue.

The editing was bad too, lots of spliced scenes from trailers and they also talked about something happening but then didn't show it, like the elephants.

The dudebros would have won if they didn't fuck up the elephant charge. However they should have cred for going general vs general, made good TV.

Anyone noticethe not passing at all Tranny?

It was laughable, but the real question is...would you still hit it?

They brought this back? It's probably 0/10 because the BBC is awful nowadays, but it might give me some nostalgia.

yeah i had that feeling for the original time commanders on the original rome game.

I think you have to watch it as a sort of historians junk food. the melodrama is the best part really. I paticularly liked the goofy new segment of those 'weapons experts' fucking about with spears/skirmishing gear.

Its not meant to be that educational, its a history centric gameshow in a way.

I seen an advert for it but they where using napoleon total war...do they change engines from week to week?

well theres only 3 eps so far so it cant fuck up that badly. The host/contestants/old man expert really carried the show into watchable. I like that they willbe using diffrent eras for these episodes. (napoleon TW is in it, not sure on the other one?)
