I know what the difference is and don't play those map video games.
But I do like shoving little soldiers around the table top. And the only thing historic about those is that most of them are no longer being produced.
I bet you would love some hardcore strategy games then.
The most hardcore "map game" I'm playing is Total War (Warhammer these days). I do love me some Starcraft though.
I do think that counts. Medieval 2 had both byzantines and turks in almost perfectly opposite colors, purple vs green
Oh right, there was that one also. Somehow completely forgot about Medieval 2 (was more of a Rome player).
But my knowledge of their existence comes more from the fact that I was dumb enough to take Latin in school. We had to translate letters by the German ambassador (Busbecq) to the Ottoman Empire from when he was sent to ~~Byzantium~~ ~~Constantinople~~ ~~Kostantiniyye~~ Istanbul (the wiki-article about the names of the city alone is fascinating).
