M2TW: Hungarian Invasion

[Reimu Hakurei]

We had Mongol Invasion for Shogun Total War.
We had Viking Invasion for Medieval Total War.
We had Barbarian Invasion for Rome Total War.

How about Hungarian Invasion for Medieval 2 Total War?
It would focus on the 9th century.
It would have theese religions:
-Christianity
-Islam
-Paganism
-Zoroastrianism
-Judaism
-Hindunism?
And theese cultures:
-Roman culture (Byzantines, Georgians, Armenians)
-Frankish culture (Frankish Empire, Normandy, León, Castile/Pamplona/Navarre, Catalonia)
-Germanic culture (Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, Saxons, Kievian Rus)
-Celtic culture (Scottish, Irish, Welsh)
-Turkic culture (Avars, Hungarians/Magyars/Onugors, Khazars, Tatars, Pechengs)
-Saracen culture (Abassids, Cordobans)
-Slavic culture

Now, the game would obviously focus on the Hungarian raids on Europe, on the settling in the Carpathian basin.
However, I think that religious conversion could be made into the game.
The Hungarians would have the ability to convert to Christianity, while the other Turkic factions would have the ability to convert to Islam.

What do you think about this idea?

[Hrobatos]

I say go for it! its certainly unique and interesting idea

would you include Croatia?

[Shasqua]

You Croatian, you!

Zoroastrianism should be excluded; it was gone as a major religion by that time.

[tibu17]

I think it's good idea.

[Heathen Storm]

very good idea. if you can't get the mod up you are free to help on mine, as it will feature the Magyars

[AnthoniusII]

The TGC mod includes the "Magyar" and later "Hungarian" raids/invasions in the Balkan penisulla.

Thanks! And yes, I think that Croatia should be included.

Zoroastrianism should be excluded; it was gone as a major religion by that time.

Well, I agree with you, it wasn't a very influental religion at the time.

I think it's good idea.

Thank you very much!

very good idea. if you can't get the mod up you are free to help on mine, as it will feature the Magyars

Well.... If I only knew what did you mean

There were no Avars by the time of the Hungarian invasion (especially as a faction). And where is the prime reason for the invasion itself - the Bulgarians? The concept seems a bit under-researched, IMO.

I know it's under-researched
But the idea of the mod would be to focus on the Hungarian invasion in Europe.

Some bad news, however:
I can't mod M2TW
I don't even have that game, and I doubt I'll ever get it, because even the original MTW lags on my computer, I don't even want to know how choppy M2TW would run on my PC....

Guess I'll have to upgrade my slow pice of **** outdated PC

Bulgarian Empire is in Europe!

[Reimu Hakurei]

Bulgarian Empire is in Europe!

Dude, this mod would focus on the Hungarian Invasion.
It would be "in center", everything would revolve arround the hungarians.
GEt it?

[Bagatyr]

i know these i can see the Edit of the topic i meen that you forgoth the Bulgarian empire when present the list with facktions in Europe

[Reimu Hakurei]

And what culture do they belong to?
Are the a Turkic faction or a Slavic faction?

[Hrobatos]

a mix

[NikeBG]

a mix

By the time of the Magyar invasion (I mean, the one in their present homeland, after Tsar Simeon chased them away from the Atelkuzu) they were (predominantly) Slavic. Actually, in those times "Slavs" and "Bulgarians" were used as synonyms, so I'd definitely go with Slavic culture.

[Hereje]

good luck with the Hungarian Invasion. Seems interesting!

[Heathen Storm]

What I mean, is that if you are not able to complete/start/DO this mod, you are free to join my team. I need could use a good magyar historian, researcher and helper

[Hrobatos]

when exactly was "turkic" language abandoned and only "slavic" used? wasnt that like not long ago from arival of Magyars?

[NikeBG]

Turkic language is not testified among the Bulgars, so we can't say when it was "abandoned". All Bulgar inscriptions (besides the undeciphered runic ones) were on Greek, which was naturally used after the conversion too (though it started being replaced by Slavic soon after it).
