Oooh that's a good one. SquareEnix has had some nice ones too, I remember being stuck on a ship that would never dock because of antipiracy measures.Nah, it's Ninteno's anti-piracy measure.
So, Eternal Darkness with insanity effects permanently stuck. Clever!Now, if it was me coming up with piracy countermeasures I'd be far more annoying about it, constant massive lagging, infuriating yet catchy music stuck on a loop for the entire game, random insane spikes in difficulty, sudden high pitched female shrieking, random high pitched baby crying, snarky insulting messages every loading screen, the screen going blank during fights for a few seconds as you get your ass whupped, wildly distorting graphics.
Stuff like that, but I'd also be cool about it.
If someone managed to complete the game from start to finish without cheating despite all of the crap I just put them through I'd let them keep it and have the Anti Piracy stuff disabled, because after what I would have done they would have earned it.
The French will never live down Agincourt and those making RTS games will never forget it.while their calvery is crap subpar, their archers are everything you wanted in an archery unit but were too afraid to ask.
Probably the first SO then, I played it as a SNES rom many years ago.Main character's name is Roddick, has blue hair, and time travel is involved. That help any? I think the subtitle is something like Star Ocean: First Departure.
All told, the French are possibly the best civilization in the game, really. They start out with good real estate, get the best heavy calvery in a game where (as it was in the time period you play through) calvery is king, don't suffer any glaring weaknesses, and can fill their coffers almost as fast as the Byzantines if they play the game right. This is a stark contrast with most of their neighbors, such as the Spaniards (takes forever to get decent troops, bankrupt, and dealing with the Moors on the Ibearian Penensula) or the Scotts (hold exactly one territory, worse calvery than even the English, bankrupt, and can only really expand in one direction).
And yeah, I have trouble seeing who's going to let them forget that little tussle, because I know the English still don't. To be fair, it wasn't just Angincourt, but that's the one battle that everyone seems to be familiar with. I'm gussing that that's one of those things that influenced the English ever since, because I seem to recall British naval doctrine around the time of the Armada to be something along the lines of "stay at range and pound away" rather than the Spaniard's "get in close and maul them", so....yeah.

The thing about the Mangudai is that they reload really fast. You get a decent sized horde and nothing can get close enough to hit them.And wouldn't those horse archers fall to skirmishers and light calvery?
The world would be a more efficient place.Mmm, alternate history with a global Swiss empire...
