Arr, you guys are making me want to try it again even though I already deleted it and it's such a large file size I don't really wanna reinstall. x_x

Well - I see your point. It would have been nice if there was an option of limiting or turning off the religion component. Then again, the game is a historical one, of a time in which religion played a very active important role in society. I can understand why the devs included it.

As a war game - not really necessary.
As a historical war game - important detail.

I must admit, one thing I really loved with this game was playing Amon Amarth in the background during battles (More specifically the Fate of Norns CD) I swear they were made for each other, it managed to improve gameplay for me 10 fold!

Never really mattered to me, considering every christian nation that dares attack me gets excommunicated .
But crusades and jihads can really be abused in a way, simply because of the fact for christians you can recruit great mounted and dismounted knights for almost free, and muslims can get cheap zerg units.

A well built general makes an army 2-4 times stronger, it's well worth it.

And if you wait for them to attack you, you grow very slowly. As the british for example I can take all of france and scotland in.. 30? turns or so. Maybe less. Whereas if I let them be the aggressor I grow much slower.

If you play a christian faction and regularly assassinate the pope you can ignore religion completely.

I am impressed! Not many people have found such an awesome band here in the US. Cry of the Blackbirds was my favorite song to play when playing Battle for Asgard (Gosh, what a mistake that was for buying it at $60).
