Specific question for CA

**Vuk** · 02-12-2009, 16:46

Dear CA representative (whoever is reading this and works for CA :P), I was wondering if it would be possible for you to release any information on something that I am very concerned about. That is, the representation of the Magyar in E:TW.
The first part of my question is this: will they be playable on the campaign map in anyway? (ei, can there be a Magyar uprising in Austria that lets you take control of Hungary)
The second part is related to another thread here, the voices. Will Hungarian troops (whether they are fighting for a Hungarian nation or for an Austrian nation or whatever) speak Magyar? The Hungarians were extremely powerful and influencial people, even when under Austrian rule, so it would seem extremely degrading to have them speak German like Austrians. They were definately important enough I believe not to get neglected in this area. Is there any information you can give me about this?
The third thing I wanted to ask you is if they will not be represented in the campaign map, will they be playable as their own faction for custom battles?

Thanks,
Vuk

Magyar you mean.
And the Magyars/Hungarians didn't really come into power or rise til the mid 1800s when austria had declined in power.
Plus over half of hungary is under ottoman control, and only "Royal Hungary" is under Austrian control i thought.

I definately agree that Hunagarian units should speak Magyar.

Yeah, sorry. Thank you, I am not used to typing on a Hungarian keyboard. I fixed it.

In the 1800's the Magyar got powerful enough that they could not only stand up against but could have beaten (if it were nto for Russian intervention) the Austrians, but before this they were extremely powerful and Magyar units were fielded in the powerful Austrian army. (though mostly as irregulars, they were very effective troops) They were also (if I am not mistaken, feel free to correct me if I am) the mainstay of defense against the Ottoman Empire. While they had not reached the height of their power, they were very powerful during the time period of the game (esp later in the game). I think that it would be very insulting to the Hungarian people not to represent their language. Also, I am glad that you agree with me that they should speak the language.
