A story of this knight begins in Denmark, where he has been born and named Eric. This was a strange child, above everything else he enjoyed killing people, animals....everything that lived. ( +4 valor ) But that wasn't all, he also believed that he was made pregnant by an elephant ( -30 happiness )
Trying to trick him and his alcoholic brother into death the king sent them both alone to conquer Norway and defeat 320 vikings. To much of kings surprise Eric returned with the head of the chief viking....though he also carried the body of his brother, which terribly smelled of ale. Apparently his brother had fallen off the horse during the battle, right into the hands of the enemy.
Many years later king Olaf I knew he is about to die, but what he also knew is that the Northern Empire can not have a king who thinks an elephant is his wife. So he sent Eric ( valor 9 by then ) into Poland, to weaken the empires enemy and hopefully to die.
The king knew that there were 500 men protecting the land....imagine the his face when he got a letter saying that he is now the ruler of Poland. The prince killed 220, captured 143 and made the whole Europe think another son of the god had come to earth.

I will now try to get him safely back to Denmark so he would become king, even if a civil war will begin. His deeds speak of an immortal knight and the Europe will bend to it's knees...of course the -30 happinness will be a problem http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-toff.gif

The story continues as prince Eric made his way back home. He had to go through german lands. The germans heard tales of this great prince, but did not believe in his immortality and thus sent 220 men against the chosen one and eight of his remaining warriors.
The battle ended in a matter of minutes, 145 lie dead in the mud and the rest were running off screaming God please forgive us for attacking your son
When Eric arrived in Denmark his father didn't know what to say, he did want him dead, but instead the man alone conquered one of the biggest rivals bringing its economy and army to a standstill.
Also his attack on HRE made all of germans allies declare war on the Holy Roman Empire and these might be the last years when we see a black flag in the centre of Europe. The french are already conquered half of the mighty country and others are now bound to join.
So the man alone destroyed two of Denmark's biggest enemies.

I ended the campaign...the game became a joke, a buggy joke.

The main reason for ending this was because my ships just dissappeared when i moved them, after loosing 5 that way i decided it was enough.

Also i like the game to be interesting, historical and with stradegy involved...having a man killing armies wasn't the part of that vision

And thirdly the map looked weird.

The Byzantine empire decided to kick the spanish out of Kazar rather than taking back Greece and Constantinople to unite the empire...the great city was conquered by the Sicilians http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-inquisitive.gif

The muslims changed thier religion to pacifism, not a single muslim faction attacked anything in about 100 years.

The only war besides the one in Constantinople was between the french and the germans...the pope didn't even open his mouth.

So it just wasn't fun...so no more Jedi-Knight Eric i suppose...but it was fun for a while http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif
