Also I would envision such game engines being modified to allow more focus on other areas. For example the new Medieval 2: TW engine has merchants as an active unit. Maybe you could take on the role of a merchant and run a business within the growing empire.

A little research shows that none other than Stephen Ambrose (Band of Brothers author) left a million dollars which goes untouched to the U of Wisc History department for the specific goal of retaining a military history seat.
