^^The Age Of Vikings
^
^^It is the year 800. The Vikings have just found the New World. Can you make 
^^their settlement last, possibly taking Northern Europe at the same time?
^
^^Meanwhile, the Muslims have thundered across the Near East and Africa, with an
^^eye for over-running the Byzantines, the last vestige of the once-great
^^Roman Empire. Their troops are undisciplined as yet. You might change that. 
^
^^The Byzantines are a fading empire; can you fight off the Muslims and the
^^plentiful Barbarians? They have a secret weapon: Byzantine Fire. Protect it.
^^Their almost-allies, the Franks, have vowed to retake the Holy Lands from the Muslims. 
^^Their objectives: Jerusalem and Moorish Iberia. They must also contend with the Vikings.
^
^^The Aztecs are the only Republic but need focus. Playing the American Indians
^^represents a great challenge: the rampaging Vikings are coming. 
^
^^Lastly, the Chinese are isolated and advanced in the Far East, but the Mongol hordes 
^^are chewing at their edges. Both they and the Muslims have their sights set on the ruins 
^^of the Gupta empire, now in Barbarian hands, in India. Who will take the subcontinent?
^
^^Special Note: There are many barbarians representing disorganized
^^nations, especially the Russians. They are formidable.
