Calling all amateur warlords. The BBC is bringing back Time Commanders for a third season.
For those who’ve not heard of it, Time Commanders was a British TV game show/historical wargame presented by Top Gear's Richard Hammond and played out in the engine used for Creative Assembly's Total War series.
Originally broadcast between 2003 and 2005, it used modified versions of the Rome: Total War's battles to allow for teams of players to stand around a table with an overview of the battlefield built into it, and shout out commands to their virtual troops. Developers then, essentially, play a game of Total War.
Now it's back (although it's not clear if Creative Assembly will be involved once more).
From the BBC website: “In each show, two teams of three friends, family, or colleagues will take control of opposing ancient forces, facing our computer, pre-programmed by our historical experts, before they face off against each other in one of history’s biggest battles.”
Fancy giving it a go? The BBC is currently looking for contestants aged 18 and over. Full details can be found over on the show's BBC page.
The BBC has been on something of a roll when it comes to giving British kids-turned-adults what they want. In January, the show's BBC revealed it was bringing back Robot Wars. Now all we need is for Knightmare to return properly and everything in the world will be fine again.
