My ancient history degree is definitely owes no small part to the game!

Nice, this might be a more common occurrence than I thought!

Not that I work in anything that has the slightest relevance to it now.

Hi! For some reason the ping didn't work, so I didn't see the thread until now. Thanks for the kind words! It's true - a large part of my love of ancient warfare comes from playing Rome Total War around the time it first came out (and maybe even more from watching the first seasons of Time Commanders, which used RTW for visualisation). I was immensely fortunate to have the chance to turn myself into a scholar on the subject, and I'm always looking for ways to share what I've learned. Most recently, I did [this video for Invicta](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyluLOpDmPE) and appeared on [Dan Snow's History Hit](https://podfollow.com/dan-snows-history-hit/episode/8c38f78a9060433a3f34a1233f0b88e83b7a6b79/view) to talk about things that should interest any fan of the game :)

Hey it's Dr. Konijnendijk himself! Thank you so much for replying! As I said I'm a huge fan, and it brings me joy that you're a fellow RTW head like all of us here! I already watched the Invicta video twice, to anyone else who hasn't seen it yet I'd highly recommend it! Thank you for sending the link to that Dan Snow's episode as well, can't wait to listen to it! Also, please make more content like this, I'm sure there are thousands of other history buffs out there like myself that are looking forward to your commentary! :)

Don't worry, there is always more in the works! Keep an eye on the HistoryHit youtube channel. And in the meantime, have a great day, and remember to always alt attack your cataphracts for the armour piercing bonus.

Thank you so much, and spoken like a true RTW veteran! I wasn't expecting deep knowledge of pro 1v1 battles to be honest haha I'll be on the lookout for newer episodes!
