    Re: Total War: Pharaoh leaked!

    Just been taking a look at the state of play on Steam, not impressing me too much already old chap.

  2. Re: Concern Over TW's Growing Lack of Interest in Historical Accuracy

    Your drama was that you were pushing the other guy on this, not me. As I said it is such a subjective thing that often some specific moment wont come to mind years later.
