Hi,
I've been noticing a lot of talk recently ,about moving the start and end dates of the game. ( Which I state shouldn't happen) There is the assumption that there is not a lot out there pre-1066 and post- 450, I disagree, I can only factually speak for Britain and France. also within this period is the rise of Islam, which should have a written record as well. One should also not forget that the historical record isn't just made up by historians of the past, but also by law codes, letters, shipping inventory, castle records, church records, diaries.( mainly to do with upper class) But there is, and are still the reports of archeological sites. As all of us Devs and players are fans of history I think we can appreciate the volume of knowledge that is out there.
I'm not sure if Paradox has an in house historian to speared their research, good for them if they do, but we as fans I think can also help.
I'm providing links to three sites that I love, I'm sorry if people can't find translations or originals in their native tongues.
