She comes out in Late, I believe, under the French of course. I don't rememeber what unit type you have to build to get her though. She's a high star no accumen general, so she's ment to lead battles, but not govern.

She is the patron saint of Orleans and New Orleans, and she lead the French king to the Cathedral in Rheims (right near where my "better half" is from) to be crowned there, in the traditional spot before those Norman Vassals decided not to play by the rules of feilty.

She was a common peasant, and believed that God wanted her to guide her country in kicking the English out of France. Which, she sort of did, although there are several other factors which helped as well. The English Monarchy was weakening, and had consented the right of raising taxes to Parlament. Also the Burgundians (which are a faction that somtimes pops up in the game), who were France's second strongest Vassals after the Plantaginists (Dukes of Normandy and Kings of England), had shifted their alliances from the Normans to the French. The Burgundians would latter betray Joan, and hand her over to the English, hoping it would end the war. And of course the war of the roses, which begain the year MTW ends, begain, which left the English to divided to fight the French at all.

As a side note on the Burgundians, they were related to the Hapsburgs through Emperor Maximillian, who had taken one of their princesses as his first wife. I think she later died in child birth.

I also think Joan of Arch is said to have died a virgin.
