Description
In the 1066 game you get to control the English, Viking or Norman armies. The aim of the game is to defeat your enemy's army by killing or scaring off as many of them as possible!
The game puts you into the thick of the action, giving you direct control over every arrow barrage, cavalry charge and defensive stand. Taunts, chants and the presence of a strong leader will all prove crucial to winning the day.
A multiplayer option also offers the chance to test your mettle against friends.

"Soldiers, why did you retreat?!" "They were shouting mean names at us, sir!" "..." I had over half the enemy of the first battle surrender because I dropped their morale to the minimum with taunts. Were we that emotional back then?

Someone please make a sequel, expansion, remake, etc. For the love of god! One of the best strategy games I've ever played, simple, entertaining, and the artwork, while simple, is surprisingly beautiful while still capturing the tone of the game. Channel 4, Preloaded London, please keep making games like this.

The fact that this command can be given astounds me: "Alright men, shoot your arrows straight up in the air at about a 90 degree angle!" "But sir won't that-" "I AM YOUR KING DO AS I SAY!"

Being a strategy-gamer, I had to rate this game highly for its superbly intricate strategy gameplay. Hell, even if you find Ancient History a bit drab, you can't help but find wonder in the "splatter-for-color" art themes and "hero" units. Best of all, it gives you a nice lesson about the Battle of Hastings in a historically accurate storyline (History buffs rejoice!). 5/5
