I'll definitely consider it, I've a lot on my plate at the moment so work on the mod is sluggish at best.
I too have that book but I am yet to read it, The bookmarks were planned to try and include as much of the British Isles as possible, with each """""country""""" getting it's own interesting bookmark. I.e. Anglo Saxon Britain - Danish/Norse invasion - Norman Invasion - Conquest of Wales - (attempted) Conquest of Scotland - Norman Invasion of Ireland.
While the bookmarks are good for pointing to specific eras, I was planning to have a thorough enough history so you could drop in whenever and the key characters and players would be around. It is quite time intensive as you can imagine.
As for the other areas of the mod, I've begun overhauling the building systems in combination with government modding to shift the focus to Manorialism etc which is a big task. I'll have more information later on (I'm in the middle of a heavy workload atm so I'm struggling to find time to work on the mod) I'll complete the broad strokes and post on here for input and maybe some fine tweaking.
Hope that waffle all made sense,
Tim
