  1. Too much Evrocetrism. Actually this is wondering me, teaching such retarded historical concepts looks ridiculous for modern world. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/reorient-andre-gunder-frank/1101609417?ean=9780520921313 http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/colonizers-model-of-the-world-jm-blaut/1111241572?ean=9781462505609 About historic accuracy in games. For example two non-historical games that look more historical than "historical" games. 1. Dragon's Crown from Vanillaware. Yes, this is humorous fantsay game don't pretend be historical, but Vanillaware artist traditionally use Renaissance art for inspiratrion, as result this game have accurate late medieval apperance. Anther Vanillaware game - Muramasa also looks historical accurate by same reason. 2. Banner Saga from Stoic game. Again fantasy setting, but developer's used Vendelic (non-Viking) art for inspiration and game looks also authentic. http://youtu.be/JDFfFHYUbO0
  2. New Russian "tank" for city fight. http://youtu.be/b4D7iCwApcE
  3. Man, Western education standards even worse than i imagine. I dont want write too much, just few examples of influence: Finnish–Novgorodian wars causing Swedish conquest of Finland, as result entire nation lost own self-determination (and own national state) and has been germanizied. Russian principalities destroy Golden Horde and Great Silk way move to south because this - this influence to international trade causing apogee of Ottoman Empire. Numerous Russian-Polish wars destroy Polish–Lithuanian East European hegemon and causing grown of German states (Austro-Hungarian Empire and Prussia). Numerous Russian-Swedish wars stop Sweden hegemony in North Europe and turn Sweden into minor nation. Russsian-French wars of XVIII-XIX centuries make Russian Empire hegemon of Europe until Crimean war, butthurt of Europeans you can read here http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/subject/russia/ Russian-Ottoman war's of XVIII-XIX centuries causing independence of Balcan states and fall of Ottoman Empire. Russian-British Great game - Cold war of XIX century for world hegemony, no comments. All history of XX century just mirrored events in Russia - Bolshevik Revolution, grown of European reaction - rise of Nazism, WW2, Warsaw Pact, fall of colonial empiries, Cold war, Marshall plan. Even dissolving of USSR causing numerous wars in Middle East, and East Europe, rejection of welfare state concept by First world and many other thing. And i even don't mentioning about cultural or scieniftic Russian influence to humanity. After all this rude hisoric errors in videogames don't looks unexpected and unusual. Developers just known only own national history (in better case), meanwhile consumers have same level of education and don't worry about historical accuracy.
  4. Althougt such historical errors are common for European and Nort American developers. just few examples. Wrong name of game, Greeks and East Slavs make facepalm. Ancient Greeks with axes wearing pants. Educated people make facepalm again. Ancient greek ship. just no comments. Timequest Cairo 44BC And Cleopatra from Hollywood movie again. Probably such things happen due low quality of modern Western education system. At least majority of Western gamers consume such products and even dont understand why educated people don't want play in this nonsense.
  5. 1. Romans don't make statues, this work for Greek slaves in their society. 2. Romans hate this man so much and in majority of cases destroy Hannibal statues. This bust more similar to war trophy than to own "Roman" piece of art. 3. Own Carthaginian and Iberian (Barcid's domain) statues have similar style with too much details. \ 4. Image of head from Barcid's coin is similar to this bust. 5. Facts ( Historical sources ) more important than modern interpretations. If you don't trust to this historical sources - you known nothing about Hannibal appearance and any your image of Hannibal is wrong. They are most experienced Roman warriors with best weapons, but they are not elite, no-no! You are funny man. Anyway existence of numerous mods for almost all Total war games (except Shogun 1 probably), which try fix historical inaccuracy of vanilla games is best proof about how low-qualified Total wars developers. Even non-professionals do this work better ( Roma Surrectum, Europa Barbarorum, MTW XL mod etc ).
  6. Spanish legion <snip> Russian war priest. Yet another Russian Assasin
  7. Total war Developers just make non-professional work constantly. In Total war medieval 1 Russians have funny mongol portraits and strange names. In Total war medieval 2 even worse situation - Orthdox factions build Catholic temples and marry in them, their unit commander's wear western fullplate armors and have mongolian nomads in their army ( who IRL firstly appeared in this region only after Mongol invasion in 13 century). Situation with other factions not better probably. In Total war Rome 1 again New Kingdom of Egypt with retarded military technologies ( 1500 years BC, chariots etc ) instead of Helllenistic Egypt. Other factions looks strange too. For example early Roman elite infantry (triarii) is very weak even in comparision with own light infantry. Add to this weak AI, boring time-consuming gameplay, bugs and strange system requirements (Rome total war 2 want 35 GB on hard drive ... for what?). It's just a low-quality product.

  9. Meanwhile superpowers continue preparations for WW3. Russia started Western Europe Invasion exercises Zapad 2013 (West 2013) http://investmentwatchblog.com/russia-started-western-europe-invasion-exercises-zapad-2013-west-2013/ http://youtu.be/loeuXGGO8iM

  12. First snow, winter is begin.
  13. Egyptian fraction again look's terrible. Again instead of Hellenistic Ptolemaic Greeks we have modern Egyptian Arabs dressed as actors from "Mummy" movie. IRL Carthagians look's like modern Tunisians too Hannibal Barca in game Hannibal Barca IRL Developers just take modern nations and dressed them in pseudo-historical outfit. For historical game this is totally wrong.
  14. Looks like you never don't have a girlfriend
  15. Probably she look too ordinary for Romania. Moar ordinary girls from Russia.
  16. Bump by Ethnic Russians http://youtu.be/3XJJtUIXFx0
  17. Fixed that for you. It's normal. 70% of Russian export is Oil/Gas. We want high prices on these goods and because this we sell our weapons everywere ( 80 % of our Industrial export ). Weapons make wars > prices on Natural resourses become higher > PROFIT. We are Evil Empire, most honorable and cool Evil Empire evar. Join to our side... http://youtu.be/1tUdOPcet-o
  18. USA IRL Moar photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnade/sets/
  19. Meanwhile everyone become mad about AAA games - i await this gem. http://youtu.be/04lSE9ZTxX0
  20. Russophobe McCain claimed he's "more pro–Russian" than the country's own leaders. Reaction of Russian people to this:
  21. Maybe you don't know, but samurai armor MUST catch swords/weapons, it's not bug, it's feature. Girl from exhibition in real samurai armor (too small for Russian men's).
