From historically accurate moustaches to Sir Isaac "duelling champion" Newton, this game has it all.
By Cam Shea, IGN AU
Full disclosure: the IGN AU editorial staff are not historians. We're vaguely aware that there was a time before we came into being, but generally speaking we're not that interested in that time and what went on. Did dolphins wear powdered wigs? Were houses built from marshmallows? We don't sodding know. Thankfully, the same cannot be said for The Creative Assembly, which has spent much of its time in existence dedicated to exploring the rich tapestry of history and turning said "heavy cloth woven with rich, often varicoloured designs or scenes" (thanks Free Dictionary) into interactive video games, or games "that can be played by using an electronic control to move symbols on the screen of a visual display unit". This is very much the studio's specialty, so whether it's feudal Japan, medieval Europe or the time of the Roman empire, you know you can rely on The Creative Assembly to accurately depict what it would look like having thousands of soldiers hacking each other apart on the field of battle.
A new trailer titled "Superior Tactics" is now available. Click HERE to watch streaming video. (05:15 - IGN)
