New on org, player ever since existed shogun

@daigaku

I'm playing Domination but I don't want to rule the world, it just seems unrealistic to me (well as if hungarian soldiers marching in Constantinople was realistic ), I guess next might be Poland, the Holy Roman Empire, Venice, or the Crimean peninsula. As for the mongols, we are just neutral, which is really odd, since Hungary suffered the most during her history from the mongols in that era

Hi, Servilius Novus,

were the Byz still existing the moment the Horde arrived? Had you been at war with them when the Horde attacked them? That could have been it for them to keep neutrality towards you.

1258, and the HRE still exists? In most of my games, at this time they had their first respawn(?!?), being reduced to a mere nothing...

IIRC, if you go for Poland, you can recruit Polish Retainers as Hungarian - maybe worth a look; they can´t compete with Chivalric Knights, but for those you´ve got your Szekely and Avar Nobles ;-))

wish you good luck, and don´t let the Horde get too strong,

greetings daigaku

I have such fond memories of both Shogun Total War and the Original MTW. Glad to see you've joined the org. :D

Hi @Tsar Alexandr,

...first moment thought you´re Greek (Athens!), but the "MI"-bit didn´t fit in there ;-))

For me, memories are not far away - last night, to be correct, playing REDUX 1003 as the Norse at the moment.

greetings daigaku
