Thank you Zygmunt Stary and Tibi088 for your extensive answers. Very interesting! I never thought how much powerful was medieval Hungary.... I've read something that Louis I campaigned in Naples as well (to put his brother on the throne), after beating the Tatars and pushed them out from the...

Thanks for answering. Well, it's a period I like, but doesn't know very much. I was very puzzled by Hungarian particularity regarding to King's power, which went against the practice in western Europe. While Hungarian magnates were powerful, rich enough and numerous, they could not dream of how...

Thanks for the answer. Actually, I was referring to make those titles (of Count, Voivode, Ban) hereditary, not referring to the kingship. Never realized how much important were those mines. I know there were some mines in Transylvania as well (not sure how extensive) and Bosnia (silver), but I...

Hi guys, Long time since I've just read but not write on the blog.... o_O Sorry! I have a question related to the Medieval Hungary, especially around the Angevine dynasty. From what I've read, the King of Hungary had a lot of power, even when they were week/contested, but I don't understand...

I like this! Maybe not enough to persuade them, but worth of a try. On another hand, the Serbian behavior during the 14th and 15th century (after the battle of Kossovopolje) is driving me crazy! They were more effective and more loyal to the sultans than the proper Turkish troops from...

The Ottomans usually took wives from Christian Principalities, especially in the beginning of the sultanate. There are multiple examples of Serbian, Bulgarian, Georgian and Byzantine princesses married to the Sultans. We have the example of Lady Chiajna (daughter of Voivode Petru Rares of...

Sorry to hear this, bro. Sincere condolences. Take care of you and your family.

Nice upgrades! Is there any reason to have these changes in the protocol?

Yes but no... The range was better only for the 15 century crossbows that have steel bows and cranequins. However, the crossbows from 11-12-13 century have a far lower range. Moreover, remember that the crossbow bolts are far shorter than the arrows and therefore less stable in flight at a great...

I think this map could serve as base for a new/better/updated one : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Map_of_Assyria.png

As much the Assyrians loved powerful kings on the throne, I still think that the succession should be more codified so it will become more stable. Not too codified, however, so by cycles of crisis Assyria could become stronger instead of weeker. The secret is to allow a certain flexibility but...

I just discoverd this timeline and I love it. I love the Assyrian empire and always wanted to do an Assyrian timeline, but you, sir, you do a far better job than I would ever dream! You might just butterflied the world history, but please continue! As suggestion, please add a map (as much...

Hi! I'll be trilled to see a Carolingian phoenix... Opting for a peaceful solution it's better, IMO, to have the Carolingians building up a royal power base that will allow them to survive the 10-12th feudal century fragmentation. Now, the trick is how to convince Hugue Capet to give his...

I think that if Napoleon remain in power and sign a quicker peace with Bismark, then there will not be an annexation at all, maybe some border adjustments, demolition of frontier fortresses and a huge indemnity. IOTL, as Napoleon lost power, the Germans were forced to pursue the war for a...
