*Watch in HQ* Kate Silverton appeared in this episode back in 2003. Time Commanders is a series of programmes made by Lion TV for BBC Two that ran for two seasons from 2003 to 2005.

It uses an edited version of the game engine behind the real-time strategy game Rome: Total War by the Creative Assembly to recreate famous battles of the ancient world.

The battles are replayed by 4-player teams from diverse backgrounds. The teams are unfamiliar with computer games, to make sure their gaming skills do not influence their success. After a brief introduction of the battle, including an overview of military units, terrain and available forces, the players have to develop a strategy and then deploy their forces. Two of the players are selected as generals, who will direct the battle and have access to a strategic map. The other two players are designated lieutenants, the units are indirectly controlled by the lieutenants, who issue commands to program assistants, who in turn use the game interface to control the units.

  • It's either against a heavily scripted AI or more likely against a human player who has to follow set historical rules and tactics otherwise the computer would always win

  • @zerker12568901 its not the AI. They are actually fighting people. If they played the AI, the teams would never lose.

  • love this show

  • @gangstamillion He went to Oxford and has his own history Program called Al Murrays road to Berlin so he knows a fair amount about history
