Have you ever dreamed of becoming Charlemagne, Richard the Lionheart or Niccolo Machiavelli? I suppose, yes. So, I decided to offer you this opportunity in this mod, comprised of 3 parts, representing the Dark Ages, the Classic Medieval Era and the Renaissance. I used several modifications to create it: "Eras Total Conquest", "Thera TW, v.4" i.a., but the "Big Map mod" and "M2TW Beyond Vanilla" were the main sources of my compilation. Now it is possible to conquer Europe as a Visigothic king and become the main foe of the Byzantine Empire in the Dark Ages; create a feudal state and sack Jerusalem as a regular European monarch; and finally build the Eternal Christian Empire of the West as a Spanish or Aragonese king during the Renaissance!

Renaissance is the last part of the Medieval Ages. The game starts at 1300 AD. The main difference is the gunpowder weapons, used on the battlefield. There will be no early knights or light spearmen - only pikemen and musketeers.

Renaissance is the last period of the Middle Ages. It was the time of art, discoveries and glory, when gunpowder equipped armies faced each other in numerous battles across Europe.

Playing the M2TW I realised, that the latest period of the Middle Ages is less depicted. Many times I saw Mailed Knights, accompanying gunmen and pikemen, that looked extremely strange! Hence I decided to make a mod, that would show the Renaissance in all its splendor (taking into account my own knowledge and the possibilities og the game).
