    TKH and Winsington, you mean something like this:

    As a historian and Viking Re-enactor I found that only EB in all the RTW series fulfilled my expectations and was looking for something similar for the medieval times, lauding the fact that there was none...

    Another EB fan recommended this, so I have DL-ed it. I have a few comments and noticed a bug.

    I tried the Dark Age campaign as Denmark and I am... unimpressed at first 4 hours of play.

    Plus
    +Buildings are different and seem improved.
    +Bayex Tapestry on the battle screens
    +Several differently timed campaigns Viking Age Campaign

    Minuses
    -Units are not that different from Vanilla that it feels different (EB spoiled me there, I miss more accurate units for Denmark 888 and I miss a more authentic look).
    -The Names of Danes are still something out of a mixture of High Middle Age, Icelandic Sagas and Greenland and that was one of the things that put me off the most on Vanilla the few historical names mixed in only makes it worse... instead of complaining about this, I offer my service; mail me, and I shall see what I can do with Viking and Medieval Names.
    -Non re-written faction descriptions and names when you pass cursor over unit.

    It will require more tries to pass a final judgement whether I like it or not. I guess EB has spoiled me. But, the mod has promise and I realise that I played a campaign still in Beta Stage. I will play it some more and see what I think. EB has spoiled me, but also shown what a gargantuan work a mod is, so...

    Cool job guys, it has much promise and if you need help on Danish Names and/or Danish Viking-Medieval history, military, etc, I hereby offer my assistance as a certified specialist in that.
    ? Posted that yesterday, tagging right after a post by TKH, BTW... I have the knowledge and of course I offer it.
