YMMV / Anno Domini 1257

• Aluminum Christmas Trees:
  • The starting ruler of the Holy Roman Empire is a certain Richard of Cornwall. As surprising as it may seem, Richard of Cornwall is a real person and in real life this Germanic Empire was really led by an English noble at the time.
  • French and German players may be baffled to notice a town named "Straßburg" belonging to the Holy Roman Empire, located halfway between Vienna and Venice^note a few players wondered if it was supposed to be a mispelled Salzburg (though said town isn't located in this area at all). It's the historical, original name of Strasbourg, a city nowaday located in France next to the German border, and which was German for a very long time; though the town in the mod is actually a real, yet much more obscure, Austrian town located in the Alps.
• Quicksand Box: A world map large as Europe and Middle East, more than forty factions, several dozens of villages, castles, and towns per faction, and no main quest at all.
