After centuries of stasis, the island kingdom of Charis began to defy the edicts of the Church of God Awaiting - egged on, some say, by the mysterious warrior-monk Merlin Athawes. Now, in the wars and intrigues that have cascaded from Charis's declaration of independence, the populous Republic of Siddermark is sliding into chaos...
This is book 6 in the Safehold saga which outlines more fascinating military technological innovations in the context of a science fiction historical drama! Sounds a strange mix, but the premise is simple - if you were able to influence weapon development during the 17th century which inventions would you have introduced to give your chosen nation the technological edge?
I'm preparing myself to get totally sucked in again...Those bastard developers at Wargaming.Net just seem to know exactly what stuff tickles my fancy...
You may remember I was a huge fan of the casual air combat game 'Heroes of the Pacific' and this seems to be the logical extension of that. I am my own worst enemy!
(Please Borderlands 2 come out and stop me wasting my money!)

looks fun, but when oh when will there be a decent first person air combat game? I used to love MS Air combat 1. Spent hours on it.
However, expect to meet you in the skies!
Hi Spider - I kept looking at that Russian one - Wings of Prey. I played the demo and it was excellent.
It's sad that niche computer games - like flight and tank sims and 'god games' - have gone out of fashion. The MS Flight sim had so many specialist developers working on particular aircraft you could fly any war and any plane you could think of!
