Romanian Factions Requierd

[Lothar]

well some will take as nationalism, BUT I HAVE STATED THAT A VLACHO BULGARIAN STATE WAS NEEDED NOT THE WHOLE SMALL KINGDOMS. and yeah those small kingdoms did stoped bizantium from expanding further north. they stoped hungary from expanding further east and south. they are important in the late period as well.

Scotland was mainly made a faction because it gives the chance for an alternative outcome in the British Isles as well as cultural variation, I mean how many other factions will have men in kilts. Besides the existence of a faction competing offensively against England makes it more challenging for them to keep their areas in mainland Europe. Also Scotland's independance lasts longer than the original M2TW does. The Romanian factions halting the Ottomans' advance is basically like a strong force of rebels like the Flemish in Antwerp. Scotland has a good oppurtunity to invade England while all the little states in France like Provence and Brittany had no chance of outruling the main French kingdom. Also the Holy Roman Empire might as well be one because all the states that made it were simply insignificant by themselves and it's not like the computer's going to keep the empire knowing how treacherous allies are in Total War games. As for the Romanian factions, one would be enough to create a local conflict with the Hungarians instead of having Hungary competing against Polish and Russian expansion. If, however, Romania is made a faction the Byzantine Empire will very likely eliminate them in the earliest stages of the campaign.

Unless you make them allies of the Byzantium as they historically were. Would be a though challenge anyway!

Hey hey, if we didn't stop those Turks, Wien would have been a nice turkish city.

Unfortunately, "those Turks" did not stop at Wallachia, the fate of Vienna was resting in the hands of others.

Shame all these big mods take so much effort. Personally I'd like a whole bunch of RTR type mods all focused on smaller geographical areas so all these less well-known factions (half of which i know nothing about) could be fitted in.

Too my knowledge, the romanian kingdoms werent great conquerers in the sense of accumulating land, which is one of the key points of gameplay in MTW2. Although certainly independant (excluding tansylvania), Romanian factions are probably best represented as rebel factions both historically and gemeplay wise, particularly if the Cumans are in the final mod.
