The game looks to have been a lot of fun.
I wonder how many wars were started over cattle?

It really was! I'm looking forward to getting some more Dark Age stuff so that we can go round again.

In ancient Ireland, it seems like most of them were. Similar situation in parts of the ancient Middle East. Anywhere where cattle are currency I suppose. Money & power all tied up in one delicious moving package  lol

Great stuff. I meant to comment on this the first time I saw it but I forgot. Ah yes, the most delicious of currency. God help any village that had a few cattle and a renowned BBQ sauce maker!
