I really must give it a go, but I'm ready to be kind of disappointed, if that makes sense? I remember at the time some people really got into it, some could not understand the appeal, and there was a fair amount of discussion about the whole "historical accuracy" thing.
It has been a while, but the whole 'historical accuracy' thing was uneven - it is accurate about the things the creators want, which is to say the armor and weapons and the elements of society that make boring-white-man Henry the center around which the story revolves.

But for the non-Czech characters, or the female characters, less so. The Cumans are especially badly done by, being essentially barbarian-villains. None of the major characters are actually farmers (some smiths and millers) which was striking to me.

So it is the sort of game that will lovingly recreate a houndskull bascinet, but not a single actual farmer-peasant. It is the sort of game that meticulously recreates the artwork in a small town church, but does little to give a sense of the place of religion in the society.
