Medieval II Total War is a great addition to the medieval war games genre and a big improvement upon the first installment. England makes a great starting faction for most players. English players start with London, Caen in the Normandy region, and Nottingham. Quotes are not sourced from all markets and may be delayed up to 20 minutes.

Contents.Synopsis The poem is set up with the narrator having a dream. In this dream or vision he is speaking to the Cross on which Jesus was crucified.
The poem itself is divided up into three separate sections: the first part (ll. 1–27), the second part (ll.
28–121) and the third part (ll. In section one, the narrator has a vision of the Cross.
Initially when the dreamer sees the Cross, he notes how it is covered with gems. He is aware of how wretched he is compared to how glorious the tree is. However, he comes to see that amidst the beautiful stones it is stained with blood. In section two, the Cross shares its account of Jesus' death. The story is told from the perspective of the Cross.
It begins with the enemy coming to cut the tree down and carrying it away. The tree learns that it is not to be the bearer of a criminal, but instead Christ crucified.
The Lord and the Cross become one, and they stand together as victors, refusing to fall, taking on insurmountable pain for the sake of mankind. It is not just Christ, but the Cross as well that is pierced with nails. Thieme remarks, 'The cross itself is portrayed as his lord's retainer whose most outstanding characteristic is that of unwavering '. The Rood and Christ are one in the portrayal of the —they are both pierced with nails, mocked and tortured. Then, just as with Christ, the Cross is resurrected, and adorned with gold and silver. It is honoured above all trees just as Jesus is honoured above all men. The Cross then charges the visionary to share all that he has seen with others.
In section three, the author gives his reflections about this vision. The vision ends, and the man is left with his thoughts. He gives praise to God for what he has seen and is filled with hope for eternal life and his desire to once again be near the glorious Cross. Structure There are various, alternative readings of the structure of the poem, given the many components of the poem and the lack of clear divisions. Scholars like Faith H.
Patten divide the poem into three parts, based on who is speaking: Introductory Section (lines 1–26), Speech of the Cross (lines 28–121), and Closing Section (lines 122–156). Though the most obvious way to divide the poem, this does not take into account thematic unity or differences in tone. Hieatt distinguishes between portions of the Cross's speech based on speaker, subject, and verbal parallels, resulting in: Prologue (lines 1–27), Vision I (lines 28–77): history of the Rood, Vision II (lines 78–94): explanation of the Rood's glory, Vision III (lines 95–121): the Rood's message to mankind, and Epilogue (lines 122–156). Del Mastro suggests the image of concentric circles, similar to a, repetitive and reflective of the increased importance in the center: the narrator-dreamer's circle (lines 1–27), the rood's circle (lines 28–38), Christ's circle (lines 39-73a), the rood's circle (lines 73b-121), and the narrator-dreamer's circle (lines 122–156).

Dietrich made four main arguments: one, the theme of both poems is the cross, and more importantly, in both poems, the cross suffers with Christ; two, in 'Elene' Cynewulf seems to make clear references to the same cross in Dream of the Rood; three, in 'Elene' and his other poems Cynewulf usually speaks of himself, which makes it quite possible that the dreamer in Dream of the Rood is none other than Cynewulf himself; and finally four, 'In both poems the author represents himself as old, having lost joys or friends and as ready to depart.

Not in the mod, but you can do it yourself in a dirty way or clean if you want to go for an older version of 1257.For the clean you would need to get the last dev release of 1257 and use the python files to add a seperate troop tree, many tutorials on the forum for that.But if you don't want that, just create whatever troops you want in morghs editor and make them an upgrade from a low tier unit from some culture like the euro milita archer. Lowest tier is usually not possible because of two upgrade paths for most. Keep in mind that this goes best with the native recruitment as lance will rarely give you the right units and the AI will also use your units.In any case, DO NOT forget to turn off the horrible rebalancing in the mod, it will turn every unit in the game into some randomized shitshow and keep your units from wearing what you want them to.
