Some people think it only added playable Jews which is silly since that is a tiny part of the mod.  But goes to show how Jews dominate people's thoughts like they dominate the Asian Steppe in my AAR.
Or do they? We haven't gotten an update in a while.

Working on it.  Slow going since my kids love to stay up until 11 and crap,

Man - I went to play last night but felt completely lost at what to do.

Any suggestions?  Treat me like a total noob.  How do I play this game?  What are the first few things I should do?

How many expansions do you have?  I would recommend 1066 as the King of France or Holy Roman Emperor and play around a bit.

I think Munster (Ireland) in 1066 is pretty good. You are a duchy so enough size to push around other counts on Ireland but don't have any immediate danger of invasion from larger powers.

... I just bought this game. I think I might have a chance to play it tomorrow... but I expect to be in WAY over my head :)

It actually has a rather low learning curve, especially if you played the first one.

I had very little difficultly picking it up.  And I'm a little on the dim side.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Ok that is better.  Ireland is the newbie training ground I had forgotten.  That might offend BB's Orange sensibilities though :P

He can likely pick up a heresy, or even appoint an anti-pope and pretend it's his act of supremacy.

All of them.  :cool:

I usually found starting smaller was somewhat easier.  Kind of want to try the early start date, so maybe I'll try an anglo-saxon kingdom.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Anglo-Saxons in 867 are not particularly easy.

The 867 start is a bit rough on Anglo-saxon kingdoms (of course the 1066 start isn't exactly great either!), you have half of Scandiweenia bearing down on you.  same for Scotland and Ireland.  From 867 I would pick French, German or Italy Duchy.  I haven't tried any of the Spanish kingdoms, they might be fun.

I loaded up my 1066 pagan start game again. Its interesting to see how the rest of the world has turned into imperial blobs to match me.

I had a lot of fun with the Duchy of Provence at that date.

I love the Count of Nantes in the 867 start.  You have some event troops, so you can take over Brittany if you want, but you also have some ships, so you can go sack Rome or conquer Ireland or similar.  He's independent at the start, so there's no worries about intrigue.  Pretty badass dude in real life as well:

Barrister would be happy to know that you can essentially become protestant in the game.  Lollardy and Waldensian heresies are essentially proto-protestant (I think the Waldensians are eventually joined the protestant movements.
