Tsardoms Total War - FACTION PREVIEW: Republic of Ragusa

[delmat]

great work guys! truly splendid! you've made those units just as I imagined they look like

[Bosnian_King]

If you want me I will write a short history for the banate of Bosnia. I will then start from Ban Kulin (1189-12..) with a short explanation of the first mention of the independent Bosnian state. I will mention then all the things you mentioned in the text about Ragusa; the Bosnian enemies (Hungary, the Otomans and a little bit Serbia) and the Bosnian struggle to remain independent. The Hungarian attempts to install a pro-Hungarian Catholic Church in Bosnia and to assimilate Bosnia; and the answers on that attempt by the Bosnian rulers by the foundation of the "Bosnian Church" which corronated King Tvrtko I Kotromanic with the "Sacra Corona Bossnessis" and if you want (but that is not in line with the beginning of the MOD) I can explain also how Tvrtko I Kotromanic used his family relations with the Serb dinasty of The Nemanjic to gain control over Serbian land and how he took the Serbian dynasty title and proclained himself "king of the Serbs" and later also of Croatia and Dalmatia. Etc. etc.

I can also mention the Hungarian wars agains Bosnia in the 13th century just to give the people an idea in what kind of situation this faction was. And I can mention the meeting at Bilino Polje; in 1203 when 50.000 Bosnians together with Kulin and the leaders of the Bosnian Church gathered together at the field of Bilino to accept Catholicism in front of the Pope Cardinals in order to avoid a crussade! (See also the Bulgarian episodes from the Bulgarian television which Nike Bg posted). Can write about it why it was so difficult for the super power of Hungaria to conquer the small and relative weak Bosnia and that this was because of the mountains and geography in which it was difficult for the Hungarian cavalry to succeed and the high costs etc.

I have good books and my english is good I think. So give me a hint and I will write a beautifull and historical accurate texts. It will be formal off course, without national Romantism and other . And if you don't like something then you can just erase it.

I am at your service. Just give me a PM.

Excellent! Very realistic looking units. Have to criticise your Vlach units though unfortunately.

There was a slight typo btw "Venetian Dodge".

[ShockBlast]

Nice preview guys.

I enjoyed the part with the mercenaries but in the description i suggest replacing ''sheepskin'' with wool vests.

Can't wait to get my hands on the mod.

[Hrobatos]

but it is sheep skin... dried sheep skins often used among Balkans peasants

Great preview.

Oh then i stand corrected,i thought it was only the wool not the skin itself plus the wool.

[Hrobatos]

well actualy I am not certain...

[prima legio]

this is a fantastic job

[The Vitiated Mind]

Mind blowing (not offence Master Mind ) !!!

I am also Mind Blowing so no offense taken

@Mind - as far as I'm aware, you once told that you were going to play Otomans first, and wreak havoc over the Balkans...

That still counts but but then i didn't know they have also Ragusa .I like trade,diplomacy , intrigue

sheepskin is not the same as wool vest. some of warriors have sheep skin other wool vests
sheepskin is bare skin, with wool of sheep on it, while wool vest is vest made from sheep wool.

this is sheepskin
