The super anachronistic output makes this really difficult. One of the examples was the battle in the war of the roses but all the imagery suggests over a hundred years later.

Apparently the song dynasty had billowing smoke stacks from the late 19th century. But overall the game is cool and fun.

I had a "War of Roses" image too and was way off on it too. The flags and sigals were completely wrong.

I guessed it was supposed to be Agincourt because of the prominence of archers.

Yeah fair point. The game still has an issue with details creeping in that are not correct. I believe we can get these types of errors down quite a bit though.
