Bad quality, but just to see how the menu works. As you can see the faction icons are perfectly arranged (no motion when selected)

Great preview!

[NikeBG]

Marvellous, as usual! I still can't understand how people can make such things.

At first I used to call you Zhoro (which, for the non-Bulgarian-speakers, is another Bulgarian shortened form of Georgi, along with Gosho and Gogo (and some others)).
Btw, if we're introducing ourselves, I'm Nikolay (Russian form of the Greek Nikolaos, original Bulgarian form is Nikola), which becomes Niki when shortened and is not a girl's name (at least here).

[Hrobatos]

pa brate Nikola šta ima?

[juvenus]

Excellent work.....Can't wait to play it.

[Stavroforos]

Just saw this mod for the first time, and it's the first M2TW to get me excited in a while! Very nice concept, the work so far is astounding.

[Bagatyr]

I think that the bulgarian and east franks coa are rong. The lions shoud be the other way around.

[2Shy]

Bagathyr I am on the same opinion but there is problem - we have no evidence what was the COA of the First Bulgarian empire after it was christionised ( ofcourse I may be wrong but I don't know if there is existing document in which is said what it was ) -we know before the conversation,we know the coa of the second bulgarian empire .If you know please shere .
PS- Мисля че ако някой знаеше изобщо това щеше да бъде Ник ( и историците де ) .

Show me a COA with bulgarian lion looking to the right

Eaven the lions of your avatar are looking to the left
Nawadays bulgarian lion is looking to the left too
This revolutionery lion is looking to the left too



East francia's COA is the coa of bavaria, bavaria's coa don't have lion, I added it to look more like kingdom coa


more lions

edit:
Lion from the time of tzar Ivan Shishman

[NikeBG]

It's not known whether the FBE had a CoA at all anyway. Remember that CoAs are mostly a Western influence, which makes it logical that the first documented Bulgarian CoA is from 1295 (except for Tsar Samuil's personal CoA, which didn't establish itself due to obvious reasons). However, the game requires a CoA and thus we have to use the closest thing we can get as a symbol of the nation. And the lion has been used as a symbol quite a lot in Bulgarian history (mostly in the SBE, but also in the FBE, f.e. Khan Omurtag's lion statues before his palace). The other candidate would be the gryphon or the IYI, but I think both have fallen out of favour after the Christianization as relicts from the Pagan past (though you can see the IYI on the Bulgarian rebel faction, which strives to revert back to Paganism - don't forget that Paganism still existed all the way till the end of the X century).

You can also check this article (on Bulgarian), which seems rather interesting.

[Bagatyr]

people i have seen fue piks with lion on the right but i can't find them at the moment as for the bulgarian coa in the mediieval i am thinking that our ansestors have there simbols but thx to the otoman turks we don't know them beacause they are destroied.The intresting thing is that Serbia,Bosnia,Croatia and Walachia and Hungary manage to preserve theyers in some point !

[2Shy]

Nike I think that the Khan Omurtag's lion statues were more to show power and to strike fear in to the hearts of the foreign diplomats and guests but I gues that you said is also true ... we may never find out .
