The taunt function needs to be limited somehow. One unit should not be able to "scare" off an entire army. While I was messing around and experimenting with archers, I left the sole remaining unit alone (except for firing at it with some archers) and that one unit was able to lower my Army's morale from over 60 to 0 and win. I had 7 or 8 units.
Perhaps weight the effectiveness of taunt based on the size of the forces.

They say that civilization was born when the first man threw words instead of rocks. Never has this been more painful a truth than in this game.

Me:WE HAVE THE UPPER HAND, WE CAN WIN THIS WA-wait, where are you guys going?
Soldier:WE'RE RETREATING!
Me:wait, what? I never ordered a retreat!
Soldier:You didn't have to, the morale is low.
Me:wait, But how? We're winning, we killed most of the archers and thier leader ran away, what could possibly be making us retreat now?
Soldier:It's...it's...
Me:What?
Soldier:One of the archers...He called us all turds...
Me:...SHUT....DOWN...EVERYTHING...

That moment when you pull a Soviet Russia and win with 3000 more losses than the enemy, having routed almost 4000 enemy soldiers...

What I really like is that you can experiment with army combinations and landscapes for a really long time, for instance I first tried out an army of full varanian vangaurd with 1 warrior group on the hastings battlefield, and later created an army of 5 men at arms (+king) and 5 archer groups on the stamford battleground so that I could just shoot my enemies full with holes
5/5, favorited, great game!

I find this game possibly the best strategy on the net, simply because of the perfect balance of tactics and execution. I love also how the programming and style of gameplay lets the two factors support each other's effectivity.
I only think that units should be able to attack from 'above' and 'below', as well as the sides. MAKE A SEQUEL IN A DIFFERENT TIMEZONE!!! YAH

Lol, the enemy outflanked a section of my men so hard, they glitched through our forces and went deep into our territory, permanently stopping my game from continuing.

So frustrating when you have two troops to their one and your about to win and they call you a puss wound and everyone runs away.

Some time ago, there was an ad on kongregate that this was gonna get badges as they were looking for a designer, what has happened since then? I still wait for this awesome game, and I've completed it like seven times now lol. By the way, for people asking "will there be sequels?" sadly not likely. This is a British game specially made as a one-off for the TV series "1066" http://www.channel4.com/programmes/1066 that came on Channel 4, a british tv channel. Little flash games based on tv programmes (you know what I'm talking about) turn out this good. They must have put so much effort into it is amazing. So in short, don't get your hopes up for a sequel, this was just a special one off thing, a shame as its so great, and I hope it will get badges sometime, if Channel Four are even on here anymore to give it the Kong API. High Tea is another game made by Preloaded, the production company, and it got badges so hope is there. Thumbs up for people to see.

I am a Viking, and my profile pic displays it. As a Viking I confirm that these tactics were historical. I love this game 5/5.

One of the best free online games, I have been coming back and playing this game for over a decade now. Thank you, developers.
