Kiev begins training 2,000 knights, 10,000 peasant archers, and 10,000 men at arms We move into the Baltic, dazzling them with our superior culture and vast army. (Where do we find out how much money we start with :3) Glorious Kiev gives royal sponsorship to the Merchants of Muscowy, a trade league established to protect and strengthen the trade of Eastern Europe, formed around the Silk road of Asia. EDIT: Oh right, it's in lettered form not numbered. Make it a number so it stands out please! It seems I can train only 2.5k Men at Arms in 10 years. I feel this is ludicrously low! Either way, as this is clearly a strong army (how else would it be balanced), I still subjugate the baltics. They love us Kievians! Men at Arms are like peasants but better! They are the discipline of the Romans but with the badassery of the Greeks. EDIT2: Fantastic! 1000AD is right in the centre of the golden age of Kiev. Long live Vladimir the Great!
