Hi, Servilius Novus,

;-)) love to hear that! The Byzantines are a great faction, with allround very good units. Watch out for about 1250/1280, made the experience that they didn´t get too good heirs around this time. So do what you seem to enjoy anyway ;-)) keep on conquering!

a happily playing along

@Servilius Novus Happy about your victories

Of course to play the faction just a little northwest of there(Hungary) makes for a better Empire since you can incorporate the Byzisses in

@daigaku One is super awesome

I went ahead and bumped up my copy to version 2.01 to eventually try some mods. From what you are posting sounds like that keeps you busy!

@daigaku Thanks ;) I am bit of afraid of the mongols though =D

@Jack50 Well, I am Hungarian, so I also though about creating a decent Hungarian Empire

Hi everybody,

@ Jack50: even Vanilla kept me busy for about 10 years, having started to play MODs only a few weeks ago. Tried first XL on 2.01, but didn´t like the limitations (playing mostly the Danes, for example conquering Ireland for Kerns and Gallowglasses - in XL there were none :-( and no LithCav!!!) Now playing REDUX, available for both 1.1 and 2.01, with completely new time frame, units a.s.o. - and keep sticking to the machine to play and play and......so have FUN, man!!!!

@ Servilius Novus: No need to be afraid of them, starting early gives you the time to develop good enough armour for their godd@mned Archers as well as getting far enough into the tech tree to have allround superiour units - but you have to keep an eye on income, of course (as Byz no prob, rich provinces). Wish you VICTORY ;-))

@ Andres: Shame on you! After three days still looking THAT sober?!? ;-)))

greetings to all players of "the one and only" TW-game,
