    King Malcolm - Glad to hear how much you like the mod! As Richy said, the Britons may start with all of Britain simply because of province limitations/map size, but I think it might be good to make them fight rebels - even if only in one or two provinces - early on, instead of giving them free reign over an easily defended and agriculturally rich area. But we'll see how we go.

    richyg13 - The new description on the main page is very good! It clearly states the mods scope! Also, I totally agree with your comments about Briton being multicultural - that is precisely why we should have special, province specific units, like Welsh Longbowmen.

    By the way, my name is Walter Leggett, I'm 17 (its Brisbane by the way ), at the moment my favourite faction is the Inca Empire.

    I just discovered that BI won't be out in Australia until the 21st of October! AAARRRGGHHH! So I won't be able to test anything uploaded until then!

    Some more Region Descriptions:
    Asia – The continent of Asia technically begins in Turkey, making it a truly massive area, comprising India, China, Mongolia and the islands of the south-east and Japan. Here the Gupta and Champa Empires are rising, the former in the hot, wet centre of India and the latter in the jungles of what will become Vietnam and Cambodia. China’s rich pastures and vast resources are divided between two warring kingdoms, the Wei and the Qi. China has been a centre of learning and technology for many centuries past, presumably due to its large population and rich supplies of natural resources. The islands of Japan are almost entirely mountainous, making agricultural land scarce. Earthquakes are also common, making building on sloping ground perilous. The western half of Japan has recently been united by the Yamato clan, while the rest is controlled by rebel warlords. The Mongols make their impermanent dwellings on the steppe of Central Asia, and live a life of subsistence entirely dependant on their horses, this has, of course, made them excellent horsemen.

    The Near East – the Tigris-Euphrates river system - fed by snow-melt from the northern mountain ranges - is the life blood of this region, which has always produced grain of the highest quality. Many civilisations have risen and fallen along the Twin Rivers and on the coast of the Caspian Sea to the north. Now the Sassanid Empire stakes its claim to this area, and to the deserts of Arabia and the Marshes of the gulf. To the north, forming a barrier between the Caspian and Black Seas are the Zagros Mountains, a useful defence against any who would threaten the northern border of the Empire. To the West lies the passage to Africa and the rich territory of Egypt.
