The Frankish Empire
Another two team campaign ideated to be played and finished in a single session. This time Carolingian Frankish armies will face the many enemies that tried to stop their expansion and plunders.
The Franks were the first european nation after the Romans to create an Empire that covered most of the western Europe. It was under the frankish rule that the feudal system was created.
The Empire did not survive for too long time to its more able Emperor, Charlemagne. His successors divided it and formed the root of what would be the French and the German states centuries later.
All this was realized with constant campaigns fighting the many warlike neighbours
