Trivia
The High Middle Ages was the period of history that lasted from the 11th century to the 13th century. This age marked the end of Viking expansion with the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and the beginning of major religious upheaval between various monotheistic kingdoms starting with the Great Schism between the western Roman Catholic Church and eastern Greek Orthodox Church in 1054. The 1st crusade also occurred during this time which took place along eastern Europe and west Asia. This is evident in the game through the introduction of military units such as Berserkers, Knights and Trebuchets which were widespread by this time.
This age culminates with the sack of Constantinople in 1204 during the 4th Crusade by the Latin Empire and the mongol conquest of the Abbasid Caliphate in 1258 during the siege of Baghdad and Southern Song Dynasty in 1279 thereafter. The rise of the mongol empire and introduction of gunpowder into the Middle East from China would later redefine the global arena of the later ages as it brought science and technology from East to West by the 14th century through important trade routes such as the silk road.
The rapidly increasing population of Europe as a result of this trade brought about great technological, social, religious and political change compared to the preceding era (EMA) and peaked during the Renaissance of the 12th century, which witnessed rural exodus and urbanization as well as the spread of Gothic architecture throughout western Europe. This can be seen in the game through great buildings such as Notre Dame and St. Mark's Basilica which contain relics plundered from Hagia Sophia during the 4th crusade as well as technologies such as Monotheism permitting the construction of smaller rural Churches, Trade Routes and Chemistry both allowing territorial expansion and alchemy which unlocks the ability to construct Alchemist Labs.
