I thought this was an interesting article. I've always liked the Byzantine Empire and the sacking of constantinople was terrible. Personally I reckon the battle of manzikert was an even bigger disaster, but that's just me.

I upgraded my monks here and used a horde of Calvary Archers. They got the job done
