The Kingdom of Bohemia
In the next version we have decided to replace the Shadow Hungary faction with the Kingdom of Bohemia. The reasons are many including the fact that AI Hungary could not handle the emergence of Shadow Hungary and it led to the faction being handicapped.
On the other side, if the player is using Hungary they find it very easy to wipe out Shadow Hungary. As such, we believe that it is better to use that faction slot for a playable faction and replace Shadow Hungary with various scripted and historical rebellions in Hungary.
Bohemia will have a host of interesting scripts including the choice between staying Catholic or converting to Hussitism which will be a new religion (currently replacing Avignon Catholicism). If the player chooses the Hussites all sorts of hussite units, events and heroes will become available.
