The Dark Ages : Turn 32 : 656-660 AD

General Information:

From now on, I will be extra strict on sea travel. Leaders will need to have ships to travel across water. (You can have more than one leader on a single ship)

Also, NPNs will have a more active role in managing their domestic affairs. I am doing this in hopes of making some of the smaller positions more playable in the future.
