I feel that the abbey of Cluny should be represented somehow, this is the encyclopaedia brittaninca artice on the town of Cluny and the abbey:
town, east central France, Saône-et-Loire département, Bourgogne region, northwest of Mâcon. It owed its early importance to its celebrated Benedictine abbey, founded in 910 by Duke William the Pious of Aquitaine. The newly founded order introduced reform in a period of general monastic laxity, returning to a strict observance of the Benedictine Rule. The abbey, subject to no authority but thatof the pope, developed a centralization previously unknown in the Benedictine order, and all Cluniac houses, called priories, remained subject to the mother abbey. The surrounding town of Cluny prospered from the prominence of the abbey and received a communal charter in 1090 from the abbot St. Hugh. Both town and abbey suffered during the religious wars of the 16th century, and the abbey was suppressed during the French Revolution and closed in 1790.

The Romanesque Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, built principally between 1088 and 1130, was the largest church inthe world until the erection of St. Peter's in Rome. Cluny's basilica was in great part demolished in the early 19th century, but the ruins of the main southern transept, dominated by a great belfry tower, testify to its former glory. The economy of the modern town is based on the servicing ofCluny's agricultural hinterland: there is a national stud farm,a livestock market, and woodworking industries. Pop. (1990) 4,724.
I have come to the conclusion that Cluny is part of Macon province (ID 255, German for some reason?), as Cluny is about 20 kilometres from Macon, so therefore, I would like to propose the following changes to Macon province in the different scenarios:
1066: Give it a monastery, and perhaps a small church (the big one is just about to be built, so give it the technologies for that as well).
1187: Give it at least a domed church, currently it has a small church and a monastery.
1337: here it already has a domed church, so I guess this is OK.
Thoughts?

That church was absolutely enormous. It should be a Cathedral--it was so friggin' huge.

I agree Cluny was one of the most important religious centres of high middle ages.

According to a BBC documentary on the crusades, the Abbey at Cluny was the largest enclosed space on earth at the time. Personally, I'm sceptical, there must be something from China or something a little bigger.

Have you been there? It is absolutely huge. :eek:
I wouldn't have trouble believing it, as China didn't at the time have a tradition of building large, high buildings (and anyway, was it measured in m^3 or m^2?).
