best strategy game i've ever played. 10/10 but why are your troops always stupidly loyal? i killed me entire army once by telling my archers to shoot my troops and then themselves.

Channel4 teach us more English history in this sort of fashion! Heck, maybe even ancient history and the 100 year war! Make a sequel or you will be no better than an OOZING PUSS-WOUND!

One of the best games in it's kind I've ever played and even seen! Great work a sequal would be great! I love history too, this game even made me pass a test because we had to memorise a conversation about what year the duke of Normany conquered England... I knew it in 5 seconds 1066 thanks!

Just to notify everyone, multiplayer servers were taken down because the game was only made as a feature for Channel 4's TV series about 1066.

The formations should really be customizable. It's really hard for me to make complex formations because there's no way to control which units become a part of a formation. There needs to be a feature that lets you pick. Another thing, I type at almost 100 words per minute, and I know a lot of other people can't type half that fast. It would be a lot better if the game was based more on tactical skill and strategy instead of how fast you can type. I think that's the reason the multiplayer isn't even running, not enough people play the game because it's typing-based.

"Norman Knights lose 246 men, annihilating the rest of my 68 hurscals" "Norman Knights Flee" "You ripe-mouthed cur" The rest of the Normans retreat.

I learnt as much as I enjoyed playing this game. Every little detail is delicious, it was really fun to imagine the soldiers yelling things like "low-born orc" while they watch the battle from behind some trees :D

Short but awesome, this game was really well done.
I really love history, and I also love great games; this game had a lot going for me.

After making my entire army Varangian Guard (8 Vanagian troops and then the king's troops), I kept a line of troops up and down to prevent any enemy troops from getting behind mine, and just marched forward. The English kept all their troops in a concentrated group, and had no archers. I was able to out-maneuver them and get my guys on both sides, allowing no escape. They were basically dead when they decided archery wasn't a good thing, because that was all that could have stopped me.

Question...how can seventy archers fire five-hundred arrows in a single volley? Archer power should drop with either troop number, morale, or both. Other than that, great job.

Do the values listed at the team-selection screen list the modifiers for the soldiers you have, or just the orientation of the military doctrine that team uses? In other words, will my Norman knights have the offense value stated, or will it be modified by some type of bonus?

I just love this game! Wish there was more. Like new levels, more than just three armies to choose, something to turn of that fricking taunting because i keep loosing when enemy taunts and mode where no one can retreat. Everyone dies!!! That is what i like. Btw game makers ChannelFour and Preloaded London MAKE THE SEGUEL!!!

It's funny how one of the Earls from the first battle was a whimp and retreated first while the other stayed til the end.

WHERE THE HECK IS THE SEQUEL?! THIS GAME IS AWESOME SO IT DESERVES ONE! I was thinking that they could make one about the Hundred Years War, with the factions of England, Burgundy, and France. Or perhaps a Napoleonic version would be fun too. BUT PLEASE JUST MAKE A SEQUEL!

I really like this game. I am a fan of strategy games.Mostly I like the most for this game is the taunt because it is useful in every combat thus lowering their morale.
