If you read anarchy's post it's b/s. this is a fun game and game changes improve the game and mix things up a bit.It is an intresting game, you devolp from a small province to a large dominating one.The game you will find out is more political than you would expect and adds a new aspect to game playing,instead of just ravage wars there is atablishing aliances and nap's.Many time it is not about how strong your kingdom is (althoug it does play an important role)but how strong your aliances are.
