This is the age of Jihad, where the strength of Islam leads the Arabs to the almost complete conquest of the civilized world. 843-1066 : the last stage is that of the last wave of invasions, and particularly the Vikings attacks (culminating with the Battle of Hastings in 1066). That is also the time when Charlemagne’s empire crumbles and the rise of feudality, signalling the entry of Western Europe into the Middle Ages. GREAT INVASIONS is historically faithful to politics, economy, diplomacy, religion and art of war in the Dark Ages. source - http://shopuk.ageod.com/game-description-Grandes_Invasions-659238.html Adapted as a board game called Invasions: Volume 1 350-650 AD
