Amazons: Total War - Refulgent

Mod review may contain spoilers

I was taking the anthropology class from the very lady who co-created this mod, I played the mod and don't like the nudity part, but I came to realize the cultural differences of a few thousand years are immense. And from what I studied, this mod's make-believe factor is very, very high, nudity included.

Take for examples, the women warriors, the sizes of the ancient horses for war mount, plus the wagons, even down to the thermite weapons, and the battle towers.

I am surprised that the Roman faction cannot field the battle tower, for the battle tower was only a description from Xenophon's record, but a reality in the Roman army. Granted it is not strictly a field battle implement but rather a trench warfare implement. I am being told the tower has been added, or already added to the more current releases.

Overall, the graphics are amazing, and the challenge factors are high, and there seemed to have thousands of permutation, so it is not easily bored. This is one of the games you can start and the never ending possibility seemed just keep you playing, and playing, and playing.

I love the fact that the diplomat can raise a rebelling army from behind the enemy line. It is actually more fun to try to bring the tiny little rag tag army back to safety than risking losing the prestige of your side.

I do think the Celts should have multi-factions like the Amazons and the Romans.

Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

Game review

I have never seen so many great MODs for a game. The richness of the content is simply amazing.

The default light seemed a bit dark but can be easily changed trough simple re-configuration.
