Whatever you can find . Unit names(unit roster), unit pictures, banners, CoA-s, unique buildings etc......

[Bosnae]

That fat boy up there shuold represent a "Landsknecht" you probebly know this unit, but he is some kinda "early Landsknecht" Version ( you can see it an his pourly armor) wich came up about the end of the 14 Century. OHHH and please notice the Helment it's an "Eisenhut" a quiet popular helmet in the lower soldier class of that time.

[Bosnae]

And this is an typical armour at this Period i hope it helps you. Just a question, what for CoA could you need cos i could help you out with some CoA of Carinthian Nobility.

Sorry that it took so long. Here is an interesting picture for you it shows Margarethe Maultasch Duchess of Tyrol and Carinthia (1318 - 1369) in right hand she holds here Coat of Arm, today it is used as the Coat of Tyrol. To here feets you can see the coat of the Duchy Carinthia. The coat in her left hand, i am not sure but i think it should represent Bavaria, due to the fact that she was also the wife of the Duke of Bavaria.



Well hope this helpfull.
It seems like i am the only one who is posting here, i hope that i'm not annoying you with useless stuff cos i am sure you have to do deal with more importent stuff (ottoman preview and so).

Great stuff guys!

[Bosnae]

Well i dont know if you already fixed the starting Regions for Austria but here is an Map of Habsburg terretories in 1400. I know the Mod starts 1345 but the only thing that changed during this time was that the Habsburg's gained controll over Tyrol(Tirol) in 1369.


The Orange are the Habsburg Terretories. And to translate for those who are not so familier with German
Österreich - Austria (region about River Danube)
Steiermark - Styria
Kärnten - Carinthia

and here is another Coa of an Austrian Family. Its the Coat of the Traungauer Family (Dukes of Styria)

Due to their importance in the history of Balkans in the 15th century you have to include counts of
Cilli (in slovene Celje) in the Austrian faction name pool ( their typical first names:Ulrich, Herman
and Friederich + Barbara (wife of emperor Sigismund of Luxemburg),

here is a link to the site about the family in wikipedia (although short it will give you an idea about
their importance in the southeastren Europe):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counts_of_Celje

and Counts of Gorizia (allies of Habsburgs with estates in modern Slovenia, Italy and Tyrol). They
typically bore first names such as Heinrich, Meinhard, Engelbert and Albert.
I think it would also be no problem to add coats of arms of those dinasties.
Also, as I can see from the size of the map, you could easily insert the duchies and counties of what was later part of Habsburg lands (Inner Oesterreich). Carniola/Krain/Kranjska (castle or town
Laibach/Ljubljana), Carinthia/Kaernten (Klagenfurt), Steiermark/ Styria (Graz), Triest/Trst (starting
under rebels - in the hands of Habsburgs since 1382- important as a key access for Austira to the
Adriatic), Gorizia/Goerz/Gorica (rebel faction -Counts of Gorizia - under Habsburgs since 1500) and
castle of Cilli/Celje ( starting under rebels (counts of Cilli-in this period they were rivals of the Habsburgs)).

and a coat of arms of Cilli/ Celje

For the rest of provinces in Austria I suggest this site from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_of_Austria
Although it represents modern states they begun to form in the late middle ages.

Also regarding Istria - it was devided between Venice (coasts of Istria) and County of Pisino/Pazin (formed on the estates of Counts of Gorizia but in Habsburg hands since 1372) which was in the centre of peninsula. Habsburgs had impotrant ports of Rijeka/Reka/Fiume and Trst/Triest.
I know that it is impossible to include all significant town and castles of this region (such as Pazin, Koper, Piran, Milje, Poreč, Pula etc.) in the campaign map, I would still suggest you add Trieste just above Istria, so that Austria would be able to reach Adriatic without immediately declaring war on Venice.
