Intriguing ideas guys. Shame I wasnt around much when RTW was about so I missed out the WotS. Having made some good experiences with the board game Diplomacy I'd like to have a go with this one.

I'd prefer the HRE or Byzantine Empire since both are central and allow many choices for the pbmn. An more straightforward campaign like the moors or russians would be rather boring for the majority of participants at the beginning.
