Let us hire them! - Pay through the nose for a bunch of large guys with personal loyalty to you, as long as you keep paying..
No we don't need them! - Look on in awe and terror as a bunch of large guys run amok in the city, r*ping and sl*ing...

I'm just curious about the whole lack of message text in the event box. I want a paragraph enunciating every point in the history of the Varangian Guard up to that moment, and perhaps a little after, too. How else am I supposed to pass history classes?
whee! I am logical. But I am sure it will get home soon, by the next screenie it probably is in germany or something.Birger Jarl said:Yeah, that would be the most logical explanation...
Re-reading 'Byzantium' by Stephen Lawhead, and got to the part last night where the Viking sea wolves try to 'invade' Constantinople. When I got to the description of them trying to hack the great chain which blocked off the Golden Horn with their short swords. Thinking about this screenshot, I laughed so hard I cried.

Oh my God that was hilarious!
I especially like the punchline about Australian Rules Football... :rofl:

Not in the sense of a modern autocracy, no, but neither was it a feudal state in the model of many of the European nations.
AlexanderG said:
Where did I write that it was?
I have only written that it was different than feudal states in Europe. 
beowulf said:Yes, beards are genetic... you need a Y-chromosome to grow them.
yeah CK beards and mutant superpowers all the way, :rofl:
What worries me is that there is no event text. Since in the earlier betas text was finalized quite early to allow for translations, I have to guess that there won't be as much informative text as we are used to...
snuggs said:Oh my. That's... so beautiful.
The Varangian Guard were substantially English by this point you know
Re has/have, yes it would be nice to get syntax sorted out before it ships.
Anglosaxon rather, having fled the "Frenchie". "Inglovarangoi" or "Anglovarangoi" were their names. And valiantly they fought too.
Had it not been for tha bastard Ducas and his cronies, who knows, maybe things would have been different. I don't know. History is the easiest to secondguess. But one thing is certain. No-one ever doubted the Varangian guard.
I still find the mini map quite irritating.
The game map shows land in brown color and water in blue while in the mini map it's exactly the opposite: land in blue color and water in brown (!).
I really hope that this wont be the case in the release version.

Is it really that difficult though? I think most of the people buying the game know what Europe looks like already...
Anyway, seeing as the game just went gold, it's probably not going to be changed.
