Lol. I just made the Saxons playable in my 1.2 Grand Campaign!
Anyways, with no space in Britain (I can't find a reliable, explanded map anywhere), I put the Saxons in Hamburg. They can train huscarls (the Saxon ones), theigns, peasant spearmen (the fyrd; a well-trained militia), peasant archers, and peasants, all of which are by default.
I just gotta make them able to build churches, and give them a wider variety of units. Question: How do I edit that battle_models.modeldb file?
I'm going to give them a few units from the HRE, and it'll be perfectly playable with princesses and all (speaking of princesses, I made sure the Aztecs and Muslim factions get their own princesses, it's fun). Using a line of units in the schiltron formation has a ressemblence to a solid shieldwall, it's so awesome.
EDIT: Kind of like the Byzantines, they're good during the early stages (although with a very weak cavalry but strong infantry), but suck at the later age with few technological advancements.
