Field notes
The homepage lays out a three-step format: pose a historical “how did this actually work?” question, build a simulation from historical sources, then run it 1,000 times. It links the first simulator, Hold Highmoor, and says users can change the numbers. Two further episodes are listed—racing a message across the Roman Empire and feeding Rome—with both marked “Coming soon.”
