 Matthew Settle (qv)s opening narration credits "the latest in  video game technology" for the cgi battle reenactments, and the  closing credits include "Total War Graphics by The Creative  Assembly". In fact, the graphics are produced using the game engine  from _Rome: Total War (2004) (VG)_ (qv), a strategy game produced by  The Creative Assembly and published by Activision. The same process  is used for the BBC game show, _"Time Commanders" (2003)_ (qv).
