I was searching for some more information about javelins and I found this web site dedicated to historical reenactment.  They have some great stuff and I thought I'd share the link.

Map of medieval trade routes

MrMotorhead:
Interesting map.  I take it that the game would have taken place prior to the Swedish conquest and conversion to Christianity.  So that would place it possibly as late as the 13th century.  Seems like things in Finland might have stayed the same for a very long time prior to that. 

I was thinking that the mail armor would have been the highest technology piece we see in game, but after doing some reading it looks like it was the battlesword.  This would place our timeframe very close according to this article.  I suppose the swords could have been from farther afield, and thus earlier but it doesn't seem like it from their graphical representation and wide availability in game.
