Will Edward I (Longshanks) from Braveheart fame show up as the king of England at the time he reigned?

When I think of Edward I I, too, think of a terrible Mel Gibson movie (lol tautology) that's as historically accurate as Lord of The Rings!

whatchewtalkinbout willis? That was an excellent historial movie. How about that claymore sword he used eh? Best movie I ever saw of those times. Great bloody combat scenes. FREEDOM!

Oh I meant to answer the OP's question: When looking through the files I saw a Longshanks sir name so I suppose he's in the game at some point.

Temujin is in if you load in 1218. So if you load in the late 1290s, I assume Edward I is in.

Perhaps it's not historically accurate, but it's a good flick nonetheless!

Yes, he is in the game.

You have to start a new game with that time frame to see him. He won't appear if you start in 1066.

Really? That's strange, I wonder why not?

IIRC Birth in the game is random, there is no scripted ones.

Because once you start playing you are changing the historical timeline of the game.

 

[Grayfox]

Because the game is dynamic and not scripted.

From the date you start to play history is thrown out of the window, effectively any action you make that is not 100% historical would present ahistorical results, then you have the AI's decisions etc.

The movie isn't even historically accurate, Sure it was awesome and all.. just.. yeah.

Niven mate, I think he was joking

So many people on this forum seem to confuse movies with history books. Its a story made up for entertainment, it draws inspiration from real life events and characters, so does Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Its a movie. Complaining that Braveheart isn't historically accurate is like complaining that your turkey sandwich isn't historically accurate.

Well, if you thought Braveheart was bad in it slant on William Wallace, then I think what was even worse as an historical movie was Ridley Scotts Robin Hood. Euughh...the invasion barges at the end .. just .. just .. well, it was a Medieval DDay Saving Private Ryan scene. Awful.
