I just watched The Cynical Historian's review of the recent Napoleon flick. It was great. The review I mean, not the movie. It tried to tell Napoleon's whole story, which is just not feasible in the span of a single film.
I had no idea there were 7 coalition wars, that's crazy.
"WTF is Granada?"
Some one needs to play some crusader kings or EU4
There are 64 books in the Horus Heresy.
It's probably just too broad to treat as one war, but I always return to reading the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Empire. So many poetic, cinematic moments that for western civilisation defined our subsequent history. Where are we if Crassus doesn't desperately need a triumph but gets fed molten gold instead? If Marc Anthony and Cleopatra rule the Mediterranean from Alexandria? If a comet doesn't convince half of Rome that Caesar is a literal God?

I can't be the only Ersalrope Wars buff here, right?
and who really can go more than a few hours without thinking about the Koinonian Wars?
You know, I don't think there's a single war I Care about more than any other...
Now technological era, on the other hand.... I'm a sucker for anything from Europe/Mediterranean coast from the 1200s-1500s.
And who doesn't love exploring early human history from Gobekli Tepe to Ur.
Fascinating stuff.
The machine give me the Horus Heresy. I can confirm it was right.
