+ rep for these awesome pics...

[Son of Fire]

I really do dig the pic's...
But I have noticed, that when it comes to reconstructions and such, there doesn't seem to be much... well, at least with the Serb castles...

The important ones (meaning historic and cultural significance that weren't destroyed completely) were rebuilt and repaired over the years after almost every war but I would say that around 80% of castles in Serbia and Montenegro are left to mercy of the weather and whatever else destroys them.
Which is a big shame but its still cool going to some of these places.

[Son of Fire]

Too bad...
I would like to see some illustrations of what they would look like whole again... but there doesn't seem much of that either...

Thats what Golubac might look like after restoration.

[Son of Fire]

Sweet...
Now I hope they will do that for the rest of them...

To be honest I would rather they spend that money on schools and hospitals.

[Son of Fire]

Hey, they can take a pay cut, and then still fund it...
Though I do mean the pictures...
So at the very least we would know what they would look like when they were complete...

[slavic_crusader]

I would rather change the entire system of Serbia

[Son of Fire]

That's just because you are a pinko...

[slavic_crusader]

LOL

[Son of Fire]

In all seriousness now... I would like to see some illustrations of Serb castles that represent what they would look like in a whole state...
I have seen a couple, though those illustrations are mainly monasteries...
So it would be nice to get a bunch of castle, or fortified town illustrations...

This is what Danube does to us almost every year



i have some illustrations in a book about Smederevo,but i'm too lazy to bring them to my PC

[Grof]

I wonder if the mods could implement this flooding in the game somehow. Without a doubt it would affect the caste greatly and the surrounding areas, along with the economy and food and crop.

Like Disasters in Rome total war?

Something like these (comparing the reconstruction with the modern view from the same point), but maybe a hundred of them, would be especially cool.

What the hell is Serdika now,an underway passage ?Btw,nice!

[2Shy]

Serdika is the todays Sofia-the capital of Bulgaria.

Something like that. They even had them in Stainless Steel. A flood and earthquake or some other natural disaster.
