Pretty much from the get-go my game (2.8.1.1 ISRM) diverges from the one described in the manual that came with it. According to the manual, the single player game opens with an interface giving me a choice between Stamford Bridge, William the Conqueror, The Third Crusade or the Hundred Years War. In actual fact, I get a choice between eras ranging from 769 A.D. to 1337. If I click on 1066 it then gives me a choice between what look to be Christian and Muslim sovereigns. Anybody know why this is? Ideally, I'd like a manual that corresponds to the game I'm playing. Thank you.
