Cruel
King
At the beginning of each game there is a description screen of the leader / civilization that chose to play called Dawn of Man (DOM). It's possible to change it. If you have suggestions for it (especially in relation to the leaders of the crusaders scenario) write here!
Some exemples:
The Iberian Peninsula: Reconquista is just starting. The kingdoms of Castille, Leon, Galicia and Aragon (represented by a single civ) and soon-to-be-kingdom of Portugal have a clear goal ahead of them: reclaim Iberia. Conversely, as Almoravids you will start very powerful, but you'll have to deal with invading armies of various Christian entities. A fun self-imposed challenge when playing Spain is to colonize America by the end of the scenario.
The British Isles: a tangled web of old rivalries, with a measure of outside threats as well. Scotland, Eire, England, Gwynedd - whoever you choose, you will have enough knives pointed at your back. Due to the fact that Mappa Mundi this scenario is based upon was made in England, this is the most detailed and upscaled region of the map. A fun self-imposed challenge for the Irish player is to try retracing the voyage of St. Brendan and find the Garden of Eden (yes, it is possible if you have carracks and are sufficiently determined!)
