A: In a postive way ?.... well yeah agreed. People actually can learn a lot from these types of game historical wise, and not how to handle a gun and stuff ouo"... okay well maybe they learn that too but meh, I dunno. Everyone takes different experiences from war games- I mainly profit from learning stuff and to get some fancy ideas for my own mod.

But anyways, there are couple of games that I've played that's about war, a few of them are about the WWII like Wolfenstein and Sniper Elite. Other things are rather fantasy war style like StarCraft II and Command & Conquer series. There are also games about the time where shield and swords were a thing like in Bladestorm, Empire Earth(well they also have stuff from the future) and the Total war franchise.

For me personally, I liked Total War Shogun a lot. It's basically a very very good and somewhat realistic RTS game. You get to choose from playing a clan in Japan during the 16th century sengoku jidai. There are those popular ones that pretty much everyone knows from the books like the Takeda, the Oda or even the Hojo's. Your goal is to get to become a Shogun, which you can achieve by siege and capture Kyoto and hold it, then become the strongest clan in Japan. Ofc the other 10+ clans will try the same as you do. During the flow of the game you will experience quite a lot of unexpected, yet realistic, things and you have to plan ahead pretty much or else you won't reach Kyoto in the time limit, or you will just get crushed by the other clans.

I don't feel like telling everything actually- there's too many feature and story that you could experience yourself, it mainly about the sengoku jidai in Japan.
