A few other things with the army markers (in case you haven't spotted them yet) : Russian ones have the shields and the highlight ring offset to the left of the "stack" (ie guess too much transparency on the stack BIF...), and English faction leader's shield is distorted when picked up. Minor issues, but maybe already sorted at your end.

Really enjoying my English campaign - I like those Border Reevers, especially as they dismount into Billmen - makes the stacks very flexible depending on conditions, and so CHEAP and fast to train. In fact I like them so much I built my metalsmith in Northumbria.

Had some interesting diplomacy happen - I saw Friesland had gone rebel so prepared to invade, by the time my army landed the Saxons had bribed one of the stacks. The remaining rebels ran, I killed off the saxons easily (after all I'd prepared an army to take out both stacks!), then at the end of the turn a Saxon emissary reached my King and asked for an alliance, so he'd obviously been on his way already! Handy to not have the new neighbours at war with me still....

Saxony was also in rebel hands so nabbed that easily, and took on the Danes as they were fighting my allies in Russia. Faction soon eliminated and my empire now stretches across Scandinavia and northern Germany. Finally have pikemen of my own now, so the billmen (Reevers) don't have to do all the work, and I'm getting the hang of whittling down those armoured pikes enough to make melee survivable!

Great mod, new style of fighting to learn, and an interesting tech tree to master so I don't always know which is the best tech route to take - but that's why I'm practising on "normal" difficulty for now.
