Slav rebels in Transylvania?

[Slaists]

The rebels that spawn in Transylvania are labeled "Slav Rebels". Transylvania at the time of ETW era had Magyar (Hungarian) nobles/landowners and Romanian peasants. Hungarian (language) belongs to the Finno-Ugric family whereas Romanian is a Romance language with strong Latin roots same as Italian.

So, why Slav rebels?

And no, I am not a Romanian.

Probably a simplification for the mass market {ie :America :p} and thus a useful timesaver for the devs .
The average American thinks everyone in Eastern Europe is a Slav or a Jew . Blame Hollyweird .

Please quit slamming Americans, specially US citizens!


The game was developed in Europe...so the devs are there right? Most Americans do not even know what a slav is or where they are from ....seriously.

I would say please slam the correct group, Western Europeans, who think that history revolves around them.

[Prussian to the Iron]

how about we just all agree that it was an overall waste of CA's time to do that and it has nothing to do with intelligence/egos.

W.T.F. ?
You scream "you're slamming Americans !!!111" then immediatly slam Americans yourself

Most Americans do not even know what a slav is...

and then all of Western Europe

I would say please slam the correct group, Western Europeans, who think that history revolves around them

and both slams being pure B.S. :

1) I have plenty of Yank mates and every damned last one knows what a Slav is and that they generally hang out in Eastern Europe and Russia ... they fought the entire Cold War over 6 decades against the biggest group of Slavs on the plannet !
They merely don't know much about the specific demographics of Eastern Europe .

2)Western Europeans think Western European history revolves around them because it quite literally does ! You know , like American history revolves around Americans .
Indeed all European History was heavily influenced by them for 1,500 years and in the 18th , 19th and early 20th centuries a very sizeable chunk of global history revolved around them too .

No point having a rant against it , it simply happened that way .

That they're taught about it in school doesn't make them arrogant {you clearly suggested they were} , merely educated .
I'll bet in Eastern Europe , folk are taught an Eastern European centric view of history and I know in the U.S. folk are taught very much from their own national perspective .
Every country teaches history from that nations' perspective .



Right now America dominates world events {no country can make a move without taking the reaction of the U.S.A. into account} and China and India will probably take centre stage and dominate 50 years from now .
Many outside countries will probably still have serious misconceptions about other distant countries then too {most Europeans , East or West , wouldn't know a just how many [i]Slavs[i] emigrated to the U.S. nor that New York has enough Jews to be a second Israil -or a comedian factory- or that in Hartfore they pronounce heart as hat and that very few yanks have even a cowboy ancestor} .



Quit slamming Americans yourself {seriously , given Slavs controlled one of the only 2 superpowers of the 20th century the folk in the other superpower would have to be pretty stupid not to know what a Slav was} and Western Europeans {you seem to hold them in contempt} .

In case you're wondering about my "agenda" , it isn't remotely national : I'm an Aussie . I just want more historical accuracy and notice it when it isn't there .





Stop creating insult where there was none .
Don't complain about an insult , then insult annother group yourself {especially with a made up accusation !}


The simple fact is , the average American knows Slavs generally come from Eastern Europe {and Russia} , but typically also think that all Eastern Europeans are slavic and the biggest single demographic that will buy this game is the U.S.A. .
