ok lots of diplo in one day lol, but let me clarify things:
i dunno if anyone ever read the updates, but i gave hints of the developing of christianity, so in this nes Jesus did died in the cross, and after some years christianity developed and bloosomed in much of europe .
and come on, we are doing history right now, if it was an exact copy of real history, there wouldnt be a judea, carthage, germany and everythign would be totally different, the religion factor was to spyce up the nes, after all isnt the middle ages all about religious fervor?
knas, since u are restarting as the zulu, u will start as a somewhat small nation, around other small nations and ull have to unite those tribes, just like vikings, this is done so is more realistic,

a huge power pops up in africa out of nowhere would unbalance everything

, but dont worry, i will be fair jsut as i was w/ armisan.
