Actually, there was a thread a while back about suggestions for making the game interesting again. One of them was, as the Catholics, fighting with the feudal lineup of troops only; feudal sarges, feudal men-at-arms, feudal knights, archers... I haven't tried it yet, but I imagine as the campaign progressed, valour-gained and upgrades would allow them to remain relatively competitive throughout the ages.

For instance, one of the last games I played as France, I held onto the Holy Land with Urban Militia and Feudal Men-at-arms after all my spears had been worn away. After chopping up wave after wave of camels and Nubian spearmen, I had a pile of V2-4 UM's and FMAA's.

You know, I could actually put RTR 6.0 on the backburner and try this out instead...
