Greetings, i am a 17 year old super historian. As a historian, i can't but notice the major historical inconsistencies this title suffers from, to the point it renders the game unplayable for me. Is it possible to cope with the historical inconsistencies? Is it possible for a historian to enjoy this game on any level? Or should i find something more suitable for a historian to play?...

But after driving Achilles off of my shores, I was informed that his faction had ceased to be and that I had the option of letting him go or killing him (for some very sweet bonuses). I'm not a Brad Pitt fan so chop chop. Also he was an absolute nightmare to bring to heel, so not having to face him again makes me smile inside. I've fought and beaten nearly every faction leader in the game at one point or another and this is the first time they didn't just 'get injured'. Achilles must be a special case, or...

As I gradually grind Mycenae down to a nub, they've pulled two full 20 stacks of Cerberus' finest death dealers from seemingly out of nowhere.

What kills me is that they appeared not from major settlements but from smaller towns which, as it turned out, had no buildings that enabled recru...

I have Cerberus attached to one of my armies and as I wound my way thru Thrace, what should I see but the bloody Hydra squatting over one of their settlements. 'EPIC !!', I thought to myself. The Hydra and poochy will get to duke it out.... but no. The stupid AI didn't attach the Hydra to any army - it just sat there supposedly putting its blessing (??) on the settlement, which I took in 5 seconds. So I own the settlement but the damn Hydra is still showing up on my map, although I can't attack or interact...

Excavations of bronze age graves have found battle-scarred female archers. A bronze age necropolis in Nakhchivan in Azerbaijan revealed that women had been buried with weapons such as razor-sharp arrowheads, a bronze dagger and a mace. Archaeologists have concluded that they could have been Amazon women who lived 4,000 years ago. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/mar/24/truth-behind-the-myths-amazon-warrior-women-of-greek-legend-may-really-have-existed...
