teakle, if this was a historical simulator, and if the goal of the game would be bound by historical accuracy I'd agree with you 100%.

You claim the game gives us a historicly correct outcome, that's simply wrong, the whole aim of the game is to build a world dominating empire (with, say, the danes!!). I know I know, you meant the example in this post, but that's not how the game should be played, remember (you know, those "victory conditions" the game sets)?

I don't know how you play, maybe you struggle keeping your initial borders secure without houserules, and maybe you struggle keeping your kingdom as big as is historicly correct, but you dont seem retarded.

My point is that CA needs to decide what way to go.... historical simulator or wargame, the combination just isnt working.
