Well, my question was whether anyone had actual experience with the games. In 2012, they were a shambles, now they have gotten a lot of attention, so, where are they now.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

I had my eye on Kingdom of Heaven back when it came out. Haven't heard much of it since, what is the verdict?

Couldn't tell you.  I never gave them a lot of attention because they were a shambles.  Wacht Am Rhein is on my "To Sell" pile, just haven't gotten around to it.

I didn't play that, only the Richard Berg GMT title (name of which eludes me)...but in the end ran out of opponents. I have seen people play Kingdom of Heaven, and by their accounts it was a little too slow, but that is obviously hearsay of the first degree.

Pax Romana? I got it last year in the sale, and sadly still haven't played it.

No, not that, the crusade game. Onward Christian Soldiers is the name, had to google it.

Pax Romana was fun for a while but hit diminishing returns after five or six games.

Barf.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
