Unfortunately game developers shy away from depicting modern conflicts.

Status: offline 		This is a mega conspiracy

So far I managed to stay away from this Facebook thing from hell. And I planned to follow this sound strategy until the Judgement Day...

Now I'd like to have some fun but to play I have to register via facebook! What the...?

Technically they are in the Middle Ages (if that's what you tried to say, Parusski). Stone Age: Paleolithic. The agriculture, writing, they already know all that stuff
