Ask someone off the street what the 30 years war was about, I'd be surprised if you even get an answer.
The 7 years war is even worse.
Bronze Age is niche and Central Asia is irrelevant as fuck.
I don't know what you mean by the English civil war, though. England (or rather the UK) has had many civil wars, or maybe you meant the American Civil War? In which case, the ACW has been featured in many games.

What games would you make in those eras? The most popular games are FPS and you can't do those during those times. You can make strategy games which are niche and sometimes work but no major company wants to waste time with that.

What did you mean by this? The UK has never had a civil war.

>>387310615
it still was based on bronze age, but I guess they needed to add the armors so that there is a minimum customization, still, most of the equipment is made out of bronze and iron is highly expensive
>>
>>387310787
They are still considered all part of the English Civil War, or do you get anal about the Hundred Years or Social wars too?

I see. I'm not very well versed in conflicts revolving around the british. I just meant that the British Isles had a ton of civil wars in the past, I was not aware there was one that was just THE English civil war.
>>
>>387310864
>most of the equipment is made out of bronze and iron is highly expensive
Which really shows how little the devs even knew about the Bronze Age, as iron was introduced only because tin got too expensive and rare

The Seven Years War was fought in North America as the French and Indian War. Indeed, it started by botched raid by young and loyal officer of the British Army named George Washington.
>>
>>387310959
Americans would never admit that George Washington was loyal to the British crown, or that he could do anything wrong. He is basically the second coming of Christ to them
>>
>>387310918
>I just meant that the British Isles had a ton of civil wars in the past
There's the English Civil War in the 17th century and the Irish Civil War in the 20th but I'm pretty sure that's it.

>>387310695
This is the best part of the English Civil War.

I really want to see more fantasy that has armored knights coexisting with guns.

>Though they were defeated the armour they wore apparently served them well; Haselrig was shot three times at Roundway Down, with the bullets apparently bouncing off his armour. After firing a pistol at Haselrig's helmeted head at close range, without any effect, Richard Atkyns described how he attacked him with his sword, but it too caused no visible damage. Haselrig was under attack from a number of people and only succumbed when Atkyns attacked his unarmoured horse. After the death of his horse Haselrig tried to surrender; but as he fumbled with his sword, which was tied to his wrist, he was rescued. He suffered only minor wounds from his ordeal

armor was abandoned because of cost efficiency; at least at that point in time, armor was still effective against guns. It was just far too expensive and impractical.

Guns and armored knights coexisted for centuries.

just because bronze is the lowest-tier weapons/armor material doesn't mean it was in any way inspired by the history or aesthetic of any bronze age culture on this earth

A 30 year war Total War could be the shit. Imagine Shogun 2 with a bunch of European factions. They could legitimately bring the Avatar conquest system back, as your army would roam the countryside and pillage german villages. Also Landsknechte.

7 years war was in AC.

While the mercenaries during the 30 years war were still known as Landsknechts, these guys would be more representative of the Italian wars.

I have no idea what you're trying to imply with that picture, but the fact remains that the men in that picture are equipped in a distinctively 16th century style. You would most definitely not have encountered them during the 30 years war. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that picture was meant to portray the Sacco di Roma.

Bronze isn't low-tier. It's highest DPS if you can get any sort of armor penetration from alternate sources, like spells or abilities.

30 Years War would be the perfect Total War setting, sadly it's too patrician a setting for the plebs.

There are plenty of bronze age vidya though. Not common, certainly, but not basically unheard of, either. There's plenty of ancient greece and egyptian themed titles.

A better example would have been prec-columbian mesoamerica or the andes, which were actually just starting their own bronze age when the spanish showed up (though were far ahead of that in terms of civil law, bureaucratic complexity, urban design, medicine and hygine, and so on, at which they were basically on par with 16th cenutary europe)
