Taunt, Move, Fire or Fortify?! 1066- The Game

1066 is a very interesting game which allows you to pick an army you would play as and the computer would choose the army you would play against. After you’ve chosen you levels and armies, you head on to battle. You can taunt the army by typing in rude comments in record time. You can also move units, such as groups of soldiers, archers or the King/ Duke. Attacking or firing is the best part of the game which involves killing a huge amount of people at a time. I had a good time taunting the team, it benefits my typing skills and I also got to learn more about the insults in the Middle Ages. After watching the introduction I got to know about the battle of Fulford which was fought by the Vikings and the English. I also got to review some basic facts about period of 1066.

The Battle of Hastings was a war between the English army of Harold Godwinson and Duke William and his army from Normandy after the throne of England. This battle was won by Duke William who was then crowned king of England. Harold, however, was killed during the war. The Normans tricked and attacked their way into winning the battle of Hastings, which was of course fought in Hastings. This game not only gives you knowledge about the period of 1066 thoroughly but also gives you a chance to experience it yourselves, giving you information about the different weapons and techniques they used then. I would play this game in my free time, and any person who is playing this game for the fun of it and not because they are assigned to do so in school are learning a lot. Thank you Ms. Psillides and Marvin for finding the site.
