Also I'm quite sure skirmishers require horses to be trained, because currently your able to get them without horses, which doesn't make sense.
Also for the next version I would have to strongly suggest making it so that the Pope can call a crusade on Jerusalem if the city belongs to the independents, because or else Arabia collapses, and a crusade is never called again, which is really annoying, not to metnion at the time of the crusades, the Middle East was in political disarray anyways (until Saladin) so why not have the ability for the Pope to call a crusade on Independents?
Another thing about the Crusades I was wondering, is why can't you call a crusade on Antioch, Alexandria, or another city with Orthodox Christianity or Catholicism in the Levant?
Another thing that raised my eyebrow is why is it that the Ottomans are frequently Orthodox Christian, even though they start off with a lot of imams? Maybe they should start off with more, and the same goes with Bulgaria why are they so often Catholic? And once I saw a Orthodox Vikings
And for Abu Yusuf (the Second leader for the Moors), was the best intro you could think up of, "Welcome to the Desert" I mean really guys

May I suggest (and you can change it to whatever), "Let us be friends, and Allah will smile upon us, or let us be enemies and may Allah curse you" (trying to show Yusuf's conservative look at Islam), but this is just a rough quote, just a suggestion.
Still don't agree with Joan of Arc being a leader of France, there are tons of better candidates then a short lived general
Why does Calais flip to the English? In my European History textbook, it clearly states that the Flemish Nobility were loyal to the French Crown, so why does it flip? I don't know how many of you have played Medieval 2 Total War (really great game), but the English in 1080 start off with Caen, a city in Northern France, but you should also have Bourdeux flip to the English as part of the connection Anquatine has with the English nobility. So basically remove Calais flipping to the English, instead have a city like Rennes or Brest flip to them, and instead of having Cherbourg spawn, have Caen spawn, which has always had ties with the Dukes of Normandy, you should also have Bourdeux flip.
A few things about the English start, I think they should start off with one more boat, and one more settler. They should have more defence in the cities that spawn to them in France, such as more crossbowmen perhaps, or else its always siezed back.
And I'm still confused why is it that the Reformation is started with the Industrial Revolution tech? I mean does no one else find this a bit too late? I think having it at Priting Press was a good idea (or somewhere there).
Marrakesh it useless, the Moors NEVER capture it, even though they will settle in Morocco now, they never capture it, I would suggest just having it flip to them, since it was an integral part of there Empire anyways.
I know you guys are working on this, but Germany is still too weak.
Please add Sicily back to the Arab settler/war map, no one settles there anyways, and it would be nice to have some rivalery for the island, also adding JUST one more indepedent city there (perhaps Syracuse?) really would not hurt.
FYI:

Not criticism, but I thought it was funny how Spain captured Florence, but not Sicily, they should be more inclined to capture sicily (Naples)
Please don't take this has ""Hatred"" towards this mod, the only reason I take my time to do this is because I love this mod so much, it really is a joy watching it grow from nothing (a couple years ago), to a mod almost on par with regular RFC
Happy Summer Holidays to you all!
