That’s a fascinating line of inquiry—myths and strategy games are cousins, really. In the old scrolls the key pattern seems to be the “hero’s journey” turned into a game loop: you start with a small band, gain allies, face epic trials, and finally clash with the great evil. Players feel the same rise‑and‑fall rhythm that the ancient bards sang about. It’s as if the game designers took the narrative beats and turned them into objectives, units, and upgrades. Curious if you’ve seen the same pattern in the later chivalric tales?
