replies: text: The Viking-age was permanently over in 1080, this is represented in the normal game by letting the typical 'viking-units' be outdated quite fast. The term 'Viking' in the normal game refers to the Danish kingdom, as can be seen in the fact that they start with Denmark as a homebase. And indeed there wasn't any Scandinavian military influence in the rest of Europe from the end of the viking age (ca 1060) until Sweden became a great power in the early modern period (ca 1500). What I'm personally interested in is if there will be a representation of the 100 years war between England and France that started in 1337 (:p)Krastain 11:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Wikipedia there were Norwegians in the Brittish Isles at this time. They were known as the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles. As you can guess they inhabited the Isle of Mann and the Hebrides, however they weren't Vikings.--Rhyfelwr 18:11, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Who ever added the new information on the Crusader campaign (about the mongols being unplayable and the map stretching from greece to afganistan)im just wondering for my own knowledge where did you get that information from?

thread_title:  Crusader Map 

message: Well, I like how there's so much more information on each of the four campaigns, but all of it is going to have to be rewritten. The language of Wikipedia is supposed to be an objective one, and it seems as though whoever wrote it has simply copied the text from one of the advertisements for the game, giving it a very enthusiastic, very unencyclopedic, tone.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dilcoe (talk • contribs) 03:40, August 29, 2007 (UTC) 
I agree, though it's kinda inevitable when the only information on a game is through the developer's own previews and presentations to journos. I'll be getting the game soon and I'll see if I can rewrite the article a bit. Edders 10:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

message: i think this is more or less a tribute to the movie kingdom of heaven, although he was an important player in the Crusades.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.161.42.43 (talk) 20:18, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone should update this article since the much anticipated patch for Kingdoms has been released. The information on the patch should have a summary of the fixes and the problems associated with patch installation (after reading the links below, it seems that there is a big problem with the patch).

message: These difficulty ratings for each faction, are they official? Or are they original research? I'm suspecting the latter, especially judging from the section on the Britannia campaign ... 96T (talk) 20:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't cross-referenced it, but I had just gone through the manual; the manual has difficulty ratings for every faction in every campaign.  So yes, they are official; if they are correct. AndarielHalo (talk) 02:12, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Difficulties

message: I have played this game, all four campaigns, and the base game, and I have checked the manual for Kingdoms, and I have found NO evidence supporting that permanent forts can be built (there are only permanent forts in the Britannia campaign, which are pre-built) nor that any city can be re-named.
If anyone can source this and confirm it, I would squeal in delight at these new features.  Otherwise, until then, I say they are bullshit. AndarielHalo (talk) 02:03, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no source to give you but I have played the game as well. In the Crusades campaign, any forts you build stay permanent.  Also you can rename cities in the game. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 02:07, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How?  AndarielHalo (talk) 02:12, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Also see page 12 of the manual (I'm playing the American version but I'm not sure if thats a problem) where it says generals can build permanent forts in the Crusades campaign.  I couldn't find in the manual where it says you can rename cities but I have done it before, just open the city menu and click on the name. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 02:15, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Does the article need to describe every campaign in depth? I am aware that this issue seems to have been brought up in 2007 and some of the sections rewritten, but they do not seem to contribute much to the article as well as opening potential for ad-like language to sneak in.
Should they stay or are they unnecessary/not worth the trouble?
