I like the map, nice and big, not so many villages so it doesn't look overpopulated, which would be also inadequate. What I don't like is the map border bug (ok, some know how to fix it but some don't).
Some things I find a bit awkward: E.g. medieval town settings. I know it would be to much work to replace settlements with a bit more correct buildings, but one can still dream (maybe when gutekfiutek's vaegir pack comes?). Also I would maybe recommend removing some anachronistic items like surcoats etc.
All in all I enjoy playing this mod. Keep it up.
P.S. It is not possible to make "static" alliances in this game, right? So that some factions do not declare war against certain others. As far as I remember from my studies (medieval studies at uni -.-") the "saxons" were more or less called into the land to help against the picts. Would be cool to start like that (I play saxons, because I am partly of saxon descent haha).
