For years I have played a computer game series called Age of Empires which is a strategy game. The series is really accurate in history and i actually passed history tests because of these games.

anyways, the third installment is in the period of exploration to the 1800's. this one features highlanders as a special unit and mercenaries. the special unit is the legendary black watch and the mercenaries are just highlanders.

In game wise...these guys kick serious rump.

this game is a couple years old and is still quite fun.
