Ya it's pretty good. Mine is for gc though, will start about 900 and end with you becoming the Normans.

In this timeframe the later Holy Roman Empire would refer itself as Regnum Teutonicum, atleast the domains north of the Alps. South of the Alps the territoy was called Regnum Italicum. The whole Roman Empire stuff is proven first only since the 13th century.Quote:

Hmm, I just read that appareantly, Otto II refered himself as "Romanorum imperator augustus", so "Emperror of all Romans". It also seems that the term "Regnum Teutonicom" was only used by the popes to denounce the claim of the Germans to be the next Roman Empire.Quote:

Well, the faction in question largely, but not exclusively, represents the areas of the duchy of Franconia, although it would be wrong to name it that. Henry IV's faction furthermore controls all factions in Germany, Burgundy, Holland and Carinthia area as puppet states, but also (as a bit looser vassals, except the house of canossa), the Italian states north of Lazio.
So it includes at a greater scale all the kingdoms: Italy, Germany and Burgundy, in this case you could call it Imperium Romanum to encompas all. But the actual faction area corresponds to the core (though not all of it) of the german "kingdom", so it could be deemed to be wrong calling it that. On the other hand, the same is true in France, wich isn't known as "ile de france" but kingdom of france (in latin).
I like Regnum Teutonicum, but from the other I would choose Imperium Romanum
Got it, it'll be Imperium Romanum.Quote:

No, at least not in the main version (except custom battles perhaps)Quote:

It would have been good to add a couple of towns to islands such as Lewis and Mull for the Kingdom of the Isles in Scotland. I would also have liked to put something where the gaping emptiness of Galloway in south west Scotland (which at the time most likely was occupied by several important settlements).
I have no doubt there are not other areas on the map equally ignored in this respect that could do with modification.
Only CA can change the map at this stage.Quote:

The only ones completely remaing to be done then are the Italian, Hungaro-Croatian ones, whilst the welsh, scot, irish, Anglo-Saxon, and Norse have already been done previously (by me or dontfearme22), and will only be tweaked, with a few more units. So in a couply of weeks most units should be in place (albeit without stats and unit cards).
The reason you haven't been seeing anything except the Norman knights is that I haven't gone through the tedious task of actualy getting the units into the game, so they exist as models, but not actual "units" atm.
Crikey you're working swiftly.
Well they're not entirely done, no late units yet.
By the way, whilst researching the wendish tribes (one of the maps more interesting areas in fact), I found a possibility to include Polans by giving it the nearby town "Cottbus", wich was inhabited by another wend tribe (can't recall them) but wich was close to the Polish kingdom to the southwest, some 90km I think. I don't think I'll add Poland though, as it entails so much work, and they have only one minor town.
Wiki says that it was inhabited by the Lusici, not to be confused with the Lutici from northeastern Germany.Quote:
