    If I remember correctly, it's supposed to be around 1220 - 1240 AD.

    My faction leader is starting to push 80 which is a little surprising.

    On the other hand, after the pope finally constantly pulling out ceasefire missions with excommunication threats, I finally have a good response. Starting to mass trebuchets.

    Not too hard, the AI couldn't really stop me except by stubbornly sitting a stack somewhere (I can't autoresolve that one, and the siege assault would be horrible to play).

    Because it is so early, the AI (HRE especially) was using lots of stuff like spear militia which do not hold up well at all.

    Actually, it depends on your PC. Mine is about 5-6 years old, running on Windows 7, 32 bit system, 4 Gb of RAM. That's not especially a competition beast. However, I can run M2TW at the highest resolution with the permanent arrows without any problem.

    On my system [modern medium level ultra book with external monitor] permanent arrows aren't any performance problem - I didn't notice any difference.
    Grass details causes the biggest performance drawbacks - I think it's due to poor onboard video card. So I play on low or off.
    A lot of firing archers - a lot of arrows flying in the air - causes small perf drawback also.

    Just a little nitpick(though quite important note), the Rus were completely Slavic by this point.

    They were arguably already Slavenized within the first two generations of Viking settlers, they do not even make a distinction between themselves by the mid 10th century.

    Hence the various -mir in then names and a dude named Sviatoslav ruling them already by 945.

    They look enough "slavic" for me and bring some variety for the "Russian" factions (who have a lot of spear units now). With a good description, they should do the "job"

    I am not talking about the models, they are fine, I was refering to MWY's ​description.

    People are still describing them as Scandinavians in post 10th century mods and games, which is wrong.

    Agree on that one. The Scandinavians were already "integrated" within the Slavic inhabitants during the 12th century. That's why I mentioned the description text in game. If done correctly, we should be fine.

    Time to finish off (almost) all of the pope's factions. I haven't killed any non-pope factions and probably the Moors will be the first.



    Money money money... Interior castle-level settlements are being turned into Large Towns which are being pushed into Cities for mega cash. Also add to that a Merchants HQ and multiple Masters for a lot of +trade to every settlement

    I'm just wondering with which settings you're playing? Having such an empire in 123 turns is madness. I usually play H/H and I've never seen that

    That reminded me, I was going to try an animated map thing.

    One map image for each turn:
