Thanks for the kind words and all ;-)
Some remarks and ..
.. questions:
- what kind of pretender / settings did you use?
- did you have any trouble keeping your dominion up; how many monks did you use for preaching?
- did you get any hero during the test?
- did you ever use a captain for recruiting milita?
- did you use the sergeants as squad leaders (thugs with bodyguards)?
Black Duke
Actually, this is a
new unit (#newmonster) without any age set.
Obviously the game itself decides that a human unit with those stats (and name ?

) must be quite old.
I think I'll set the startage to ~37, though.
Conscripting 5 milita per turn might be a bit much - I think I'll change that down to 3 or 4 (the duke costs 13,3 gold upkeep per turn, so it's still pretty cheap).
Warlord
Just play on, and be surprised

Unless you play with misfortune-2 or more, that is...
Incorporating in a big mod
I would not be that fond of this, because
a) Black Steel of Ulm isn't finished
b) I'm working on /planning a 'complete mod' anyway, where Black Steel will be a part of.
That said - there's little I could do to stop you from borrowing everything you wish, anyway, therefore go forth and do what you like - would be nice to see my name mentioned in the readme/credits somewhere, though
