This thread contains modding informations about the Kindom of Hungary. I will put the new datas into the first post. Ask in this topic if you need more info.
Geography
The Carpathian Basin is wrong on the vanilla map in many cases. Take a look at a real geographical map or into our mod files. The river Duna is on the wrong place and at least the river Tisza and the lake should be presented. In our mod even the ferries are on the right place.

Light blue: very swampy.
Even lighter blue: swampy.
On the lowlands there should be only a few trees but Transdanubia, upper Hungary and Transysvania should have woodlands especially on the mountains.

The old shape of the lakes are shown on these maps even better.
The 2 extra lakes on the Lowlands were actually swamps covered with water all the year. You may add these as lakes, too.
Political map
Medieval Hungary had 50-70 counties which were too little to represent in on a tw map. Transylvania, Slavonia and later Croatia had bigger areas which suit in size to be a region. So we use geographical division methods rather political in the rest case.
To the economical calculation:
Hungary had around 1,5-1,7 million inhabitants in 1080. (Croatia didn't belonged to Hungary in those years, only half of Slavonia. For comparison England had about 1,2 million inhabitants in those years.

The gray area called Gyepű were border-lands and were used to defend the country. The northern-eastern line was mostly uninhabited. Hungary mantained a loose control on these lands.
Names
It is impossible to make a perfect name list, because there were important changes in the name use during the times.
Phases:
-till the 13th century: old (pagan) names, aristocrats preferred the Christian names a little more. I suggest to use 10-15% Christian names. "Son of" name structure, no family names.
-From the beginning of the 13th century genus names came into the mode between the land owners (nobles and wealthier warriors)
-From 1268 Christian personal names came into use because of a law. Some rare old Magyar names remained like Farkas.
-Also from the end of the 13th century surnames started to appear. The former genus names became family names and the rich people generally took family names. The peasants had no family names for centuries.
