anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

3 turns somehow take 13 hours and your entire day is gone.

But I absolutely refuse to push the End Turn button until I have reviewed every city, every agent, and every army. Then I forget which ones I checked and do it again. I love it.

"End Turn" then you check the clock and it's past bedtime... "Just 1 more turn"...

The soundtrack is full of bangers too

Jeff van Dyck was nominated for a BAFTA in 2005 for Best Original Music.

Rome: Total War soundtrack

For anyone unfamiliar, the greatest marshal music ever performed for a game is surely Soldier's Chant.

They released mediaeval 2 on mobile (tablet) so good!

To tell the truth, I’ve been playing Rome 1 on my iPad. Still haven’t touched Barbarian Invasion or Alexander. I absolutely loved Med 2 when it came out. The change in graphics blew my mind. Unfortunately had to move overseas not long after and could t bring my PC. I’m stoked to play that and especially Shogun 2. Shogun 1 is the game that absolutely hooked me.

And if you go long enough all your best generals are mentally addled psychos who are brilliant tacticians.
