I would be excited for a Sultanate of Rum civilization to shake things up in Anatolia. The Byzantines really need more competition. And if you make the new civs unplayable a la Zengids in SoI, you don't have to worry nearly as much about balance.

The Icelandic AA could be changed to a different resource, like North America Access, which would not require astronomy to work.

Can you fix "Sun Quang" in the world scenario?

Is Colonea intended to be unstable still for the Byzantines?

First they conquered the crusader states, and then they managed not to collapse to the Mongols. (I even own Bagdad!) They also picked up cities in Armenia and Nubia somewhere along the way.

Or maybe the Magna Carta.

If you want to play a Jewish empire, pick Arabia.

I conquer Palermo with some of my initial troops, who get free upgrades off the barbarians in Dublin. I have to declare war on Cordoba to get through the strait of Gibraltar, but the Byzantines do sign open borders. I build a settler in Palermo and send him through the Bosporus to Crimea.

I've been playing the Norse lately, and they're a lot of fun. They have a lot more potential than the AI shows. (Maybe the AI is just really bad at using galleys/berserkers.) It was really difficult until I realized I didn't need to send any of my initial settlers to far-off locations. Realizing...

Colonea is also unstable for the Byzantines, who also have it as part of a UHV. Is it intended for templar masters, teutonic masters, and hospitaller masters to upgrade into pikemen? I can't spread my guild anymore after professional armies.

Wow, that's a really good idea. Thanks for the replies!

I'm mostly enjoying this mod. I've won as the Arabs, Germans, and Dutch. I like the religion system because all of the religions provide different benefits: Orthodoxy is great for large empires, Catholicism for crusades, Protestantism for colonizing and research, Islam for making troops quickly...
