Every time I read something like this, I'm reminded of how much I know my grounding in history to Age of Empires 2.
Sure, it got a lot of things wrong and it took liberty with a lot of historical facts, but it also gave me a basis for, and appreciation of history.
I knew about the Mamluks because they were an elite unit in the game, and I happened to one day just Google their name and read the wiki page.
