Shouldnβt there be carriages in Anglo Saxon England?
This addition wouldβve really gave Valhalla some life and probably the only useful form of social stealth. This was implemented well in Origins and Iβm just disappointed it didnβt make a return, the game is just static even for AC standards.
Not being able to casually interact with civilians like you could in Odyssey was a missed opportunity as well. Just doing a replay of Valhalla and damn, this game had potential to be so much more.

Where did the American 'Anglo-Saxon' identity come from? Considering the term in England is entirely historical and not representative of any particular population, its odd that Americans would choose to identify with this particular historical group
As a brit i've always been confused with some americans identifying as Anglo-Saxon.. How exactly are they Anglo Saxon? considering Anglo Saxons are not really a racial group at all in the UK
how can one claim 'anglo saxon' heritage?
British people are mix of all their invaders
Celtic, roman, Germanic, Viking, Norman
it seems odd that they would focus on this singular group of Germanic settlers

Anglo-Saxon England should be tribal
The feudal government itself represents states where the property is private, in contrast, tribal government represents states where the property belongs to the tribe.
In Anglo-Saxon there were two types of ownership of land, folkland and bookland. The folkland were inalienable possessions, they belonged to a kinsgroup and couldn't be sold or partitioned. In contrast, booklands were private property that could give or sold to any person. Almost all of Anglo-Saxon England were folklands, while the remaining bookland belonged to the Church. The whole reason why the kings of Wessex/England were chosen by the witenagemot was that the realm itself was folklands of the House of Wessex.
So, it is irrelevant how centralized the government might have been under Edward the Confessor, when every book about the subject begins in "William the Conquer introduced feudalism to England", which he did by depriving the folklands lands from the crying earldormen and redistributing them as bookland to this many companions, thus transforming.

Studying Anglo-Saxons at degree level in England
Anybody know of any good courses? The only one I can find is Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic studies at Cambridge but as far as I know Cambridge don't like mature students and also my paltry BBB at A level wouldn't be good enough. Does anyone know of any similar courses?
