    Well if you are into turn based strategy games than yes you are ignorant, but if you have no affiliation with this community than no.

    R: TW actually started as software used by the National Geographic/History Channel in their digital recreations of famous battles. The developers decided to make it into a game after they realized the obvious marketability of it. I believe it even got a few "Best RTS" awards the year it originally came out

    You're right about the History Channel using it for the digital recreations, but the game was already in development before it was used for that. The medieval total war games are pretty fun too, if you're really into this kind of rts.

    As for awards/recognition:

    PC Gamer (UK): All time 5th best PC game "95%"
    IGN: Editor's Choice Award, 4th Best PC Game of all Time.
    PC Gamer (US): Editor's Choice, Best Strategy Game of 2004
    GameSpot: Editor's Choice, Strategy Game of 2004
    Adrenaline Vault: Seal of Excellence
    GameSpy: Editor's Choice
    E3 2003 Game Critics Awards: Best Strategy Game
    X-Play: 5 out of 5
    PC Powerplay: 95%

    I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong) that the Total War series (all of which base themselves around large scale RTS combat) goes like this

    Shogun: Total War
    Medieval: Total War
    Rome: Total War
    Medieval II: Total War
    Empire: Total War---- Scheduled to Release Feb. of next year.

    Here's the wiki page
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_W...eo_game_series)
    "An Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II flew a show of force and expended flares for emphasis over Salerno after enemy forces attacked a coalition forward base. The arrival of the aircraft prompted an immediate retreat by enemy personnel."
