thanks to rigorous playtesting yep, i ignored them at every turn when they started in on the historical inaccuracies. i thought i would give in, but i survived!

Don't you people feel sorry for temba and I? We have our own website but for various reasons, cannot do anything with them. So CSC reaps the benefits all of our latest productions.

BTW, does the symbol at the top look like a sad face? I have no idea what some of these represent.

[mrtemba]

don't feel sorry for me! i have hours more of my life now! woohoo!

and i think thats either a dead or a depressed face....

It's a book
It's a historian
It's the Anal-Retentive Man!

The other two cities are Thuringia and Aquantine, which Charlemagne recently won from Hunald, the ex-Duke of Aquantine.

I am pretty sure you mean Aquitaine/Aquitania.:-)

They own most of spain already,

Spain, ahem ahem.;-)

the Anglo Saxons are a civilized, Christian Nation.

Yes, byt only after they do their genocide on the civilized, Christian Celts. But since you made Enemy of *censored* so I know you know that.8)

i just love people who don't read readmes :P

Well I started playing and decided to give you some more comments:

-Some graphics are beatiful (the spy dude for example) while others are impossible to make out (Frank Infantry, Frank Cavalry, Frank Vanguard, the White Splotch Frank city:-)
-The choice of the HoMM2 Barbarian Castle as one of the cities is interesting;-)
-The terrain is beatiful(especially the forests and the oceans)

Mr. Temba:

Congrats for a good scenario. However...

I am reluctant to believe that no one of your playtesters (an impressive list, by the way) warned you that not a single city in the Iberian peninsula is in the right place! That's really weird given the fact that Charlemagne put so much emphasis in keeping some key Iberian cities (Barcelona, Pamplona) under his control.

You have to have read about the Chanson du Roland (aka the massacre at Roncesvaux), right? How is it that this crucial event is not depicted in the scenario?
