Hi!
I came from Slovakia, one of the centers of what used to be Grand Moravia. I graduated from slovak and world history. So I am qualified historian and I would like to help with research of Great Moravia. I can give you informations about a history of Great Moravia, but to give you more specific information about military and buildings can take a bit longer. I have to do some research and contacts some friends, classmates.
Total War is my favorite game, but sometimes lack of historical facts is obvious. It is just little bit sad that this faction is not playable. At this time it was consider superpower in central Europe reaching from german borders till Ukraine and from Austria, Hungary till app half of todays Poland. I know that there is a limited number of the fractions, but you can reduce some of the smaller ones (like one of the wikings fractions - you can't really speak about the nations at the time, because modern nations were formed latter). It does not matter if you call them wikings, normans or varjags, it is a same name for wikings tribes. I think it would be interested not only for Czech, Slovak, Polish players.
This fraction was a threat to East-Franks, ally of Bulgaria and Byzantian Empire and Pope granted them independent church province and title of a king for leader, what was very important for any country at the time. Bible was translated to its own oldslavonic language, at this time only three other languages were permitted: latin, greek, hebrew.
Anyway I can and I am willing to help. Please send mi an informations about the tech tree and any informations you are interested in.
Mirek
