The game is about re-writing history.
True, but it would be nice if we could do that in a realistic context.

This isn't civilization...insane teching isn't what its about. Units like Cossack Musketeers have absolutely no place being in a MEDIEVAL strategy game. Its laughable when you think about it.

Its OK though, there are a lot of great elements to the game and its still a lot of fun...these issues should be fodder for the modders anyhow
