So there is a similar thing with a photo from (recent) history - and that has the edge of perfect accuracy - a picture of 1920s Alabama is a real representation.
I had real trouble with the battle of towton just now - the armour was “off” and someone was wondering around with a really cool white rose icon on their breastplate - and I could not work out if it was trying to be accurate or imaginative (accurate woukd look more like these things https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armorial_of_the_House_of_Pla...)
I mean the fact that there were moving videos of Dutch astronomers or Ethiopian rulers is god damn amazing - it looks luscious
But it also looks … cut-scene. It’s brilliant. But it’s also a work of imagination (LLM imagings).
So it’s quite hard to do the game itself - but it’s amazing to drop people into the context and excite a historical interest.
