Was just reading a bit in the General Discussion Forum. One of the threads was about adding two new factions to the vanilla version. One came up with adding Wallachia.
My question. Are there any plans to add Wallachia to SC?
In the Dark/Early era Wallachia was under the control of the
First Bulgarian Empire from its establishment in
681, until approximately the
Magyar conquest of
Transylvania at the end of the 10th century. With the decline and subsequent fall of the Bulgarian state to Byzantium (in the second half of the 10th century up to
1018), Wallachia came under the control of the
Pechenegs (a
Turkic people) who extended their rule west through the 10th and 11th century, until defeated around 1091, when the
Cumans of southern
Russia took control of the lands of Moldavia and Wallachia

So in the Early Era they could be named Pechenegs and then in the Late(/High) era have the name Wallachia.
One of the first written evidence of local voivodes is in connection with
Litovoi (
1272), who ruled over land each side of the Carpathians (including
Făgăraş in Transylvania), and refused to pay
tribute to the
Hungarian King Ladislaus IV. His successor was his brother
Bărbat (1285-1288). The continuing weakening of the Hungarian state by further Mongol invasions (
1285-
1319) and the fall of the
Árpád dynasty opened the way for the unification of Wallachian polities, and to independence from Hungarian rule.

Wallachia's creation, held by local traditions to have been the work of one
Radu Negru, is historically connected with
Basarab I (1310-1352), who rebelled against
Charles I of Hungary and took up rule on either side of the
Olt River, establishing his residence in
Câmpulung as the first ruler in the
House of Basarab.
Basarab refused to grant Hungary the lands of
Făgăraş,
Amlaş and the
Banat of Severin, defeated Charles in the
Battle of Posada (
1330), and extended his lands to the east, to comprise lands as far as
Kilia (in the
Bujak, as the origin of
Bessarabia);
[9] rule over the latter was not preserved by following princes, as Kilia fell to the
Nogais ca.
1334.
