Graphics and visuals and what ho!

No it wasn't. It was just a bad tv-movie, with a rotten cast(especially the lead), rotten script and bad production. Francis Ford Coppola, who produced it, made some noises about trying to make it look "realistic"(whatever that meant) but no effort was put into the visuals at all. It's not like we know much about the Homeric age anyway...

ok, ok. having spartan kings sport architecture of crete is innaccurate. but i found it amusing, and the movie itself watchable.

as to the game design, EF, you are being too tight. a level of accuracy is appreciated, and ill be the first to agree with you, but Snowball will not recreate the Middle Ages for you. and no computer game will.

they are still games, not simulators of an era.

I fail to see how I can be too tight when all I ask for is an attempt for a quality level of accuracy...anyway, Snowball claims they'll be trying so I'm more or less satisfied.

There was quite a bit more than architecture wrong in the Oddyssey!

EF [/B]

it was just an example. the filmmakers did take some liberty [a lot].

Nudie chick on the cover? Now that's worth Crusading for!


Well, anyway...so you've mentioned about the sprites, Serg, but anymore lovely eye candy in there? Like with the castles or FMV?
