Our picks for the best games in this category are below, and if you see a lot of famous titles missing, don’t despair. Using the time-honoured Wargames Research Group miniatures rules convention, ‘ancients’ actually covers from about 3000 BC to 1485 AD, although this is because the WRG lumps ‘ancient’ and ‘medieval’ together into one grouping – hence our rather expansive title to this guide!ġ485 signifies a commonly accepted time where gunpowder use became widespread and, as it happens, also marks the end of the War of the Roses. Such a vast continuum of war-fighting history, stretching as it does from khopesh-toting ancient Egyptian mercenaries to the knights and fluttering battle-pennants of feudal Europe, should surely provide more than enough army fodder to keep everyone entertained. Anyway, I’m really happy about the extra content I just would like to buy a game and have the whole thing be on the disc that I’m purchasing and be done with it, but I know I’m in the minority so it’s ok.Outside World War II, no other period of armed conflict offers as much variety and depth as the ancient world, if for no other reason than its temporal length. Another example is the orginal Borderlands had two different versions of a GOTY with little to no distinction of which version had the DLC as voucher codes and which one had it on the disc, luckily I got the one on disc. Like if it’s free(same with Copernicus for Brotherhood), then why not have it on the disc? Years from now if something happens to my system and Sony’s online service isn’t around anymore that add-on content will be lost forever no? Assassin’s Creed 2 for instance I had to import the platinum edition from the UK because that was the only way to have the game and all the DLC on the disc(wiki the amount of different retail releases for the AC games, it’s insane). Obviously in this case it’s not about the price, I just kind of get tired of the games I want being broken up into a bunch of pieces and I have to piece them together. PSB: On a final note, what might have happened if General Washington hadn’t learned of Benedict Arnold’s treason and put an end to it? MT: I actually think the exchange between some Patriots and one of the traitors that we were able to reproduce word-for-word is my favorite part. PSB: What’s your favorite detail about the Benedict Arnold mission arc in the game? Activities range from the mundane to the epic… but I don’t want to give too much away, as it’s part of the experience! MT: The player will be fighting a variety of characters from both sides of the conflict. PSB: What kinds of activities and missions will players embark on during the Benedict Arnold missions? He has his reasons, and from a certain perspective they make complete sense. That being said, we don’t like having “bad guys” in Assassin’s Creed and this is no different in terms to Arnold and these missions. Our interpretation of Arnold actually weaves into the overall fiction and to divulge that would be to spoil a portion of the story. But who was there, what they did, and what happened to them is as precise as the history books would allow. On the other side of things, we needed to inject it with some gameplay so there are some liberties in terms of the action. We have some scenes that have the actual words spoken by key players in the events at West Point, according to the records from the court proceedings following what happened. MT: It’s definitely not like King Washington. “Who was there, what they did, and what happened to them is as precise as the history books would allow.”
