   yeas i have read that post about the huns the you writeded :) it was very good, you show the turks :P
   
   I will never accept that therory, i am just that kind of person, and i will never accept the sumrian theory , it sound so worng who can we be a people that invents the wheel and then live in tents and ride horses, IQ drop? :p
   yeas the daco rumanian theory has more going one but it is only for hte rumanians are more then we are
   and tey are staying together, not like we hungarians even here in sweden we are fighting agianst echother, it is really stupid and the samething in erdély, saw somthing on Duna tv about erdély the are have some kind om election and they can not come along whit echother, and i dont understand wgy they all want the same thing, and if the will not come along then the rumanians will kick there asses like always, if the hungarians and the germans in erdélt united the can have a voice in the contry and maabey be trited like humans,
   
   Yeah why are they leaving there big country, it is so great they say and still there are running away, and who can it be cruel agianst the rumanians? okey maabey agianst them that help the hungaraisn hidding when the rumanian army came, i think rumahian is blesset whot that land they have they shoud be happed to have it and not to do lies about history and treat the hungarians and the germans right, then this problem whit trianon will not be so big tht is, same in délvidék they are not bulding nothing there so why shoud they have it? what do you meen whit *BIAS* i dont understand it :p
   
   okey we have sucki infatry in tha game, CA should read more in to hungary and give some good infantry i late ages, and maabey ad hunyadi janos in the game to, i know that the villages and citys in hungary where not the same as in england, i still think they shoud added the black army guard in the game, and sure the came around 1500 when the game already ended but still not evrething is so realitic in the game.

   1500? Ha! Matyás Király already created the Black Guard in the mid 15th century. And the game ends in 1520, so that's around 70 years that we the Black Guard could have been used by Hungary. :p
   
   Yes, the Sumerian-Hungarian continuity theory is quite... stretching it? lol...
   
   I've also noticed that we Hungarians can agree on anything and are always divided. The Hungarian community here in London, Ontario is terrible and breaking apart. No one wants to stick together, and then the parents wonder why their parents don't know how to speak or write Hungarian(I'm only writing to you in English, so that you can improve your English :p). 'Bias'? Hát a 'bias' valami olyat jelent mint 'egyoldalu'. Mint egy Amerikai, azt kérdezed tole hogy mi a legjobb ország a világon- azt válaszoli hogy az Amerika! Vagy azt kérdezed egy Romantol hogy kié igazán az Erdély? Persze, azt fogja válaszolni hogy Románoké! Azért mert nekik 'bias'-juk van.
   
   Concerning Erdély, the number of Germans inhabiting it decreased by an enourmous amount after before and after WW2. You see, back in 1920 Hungarians made up about 35 percent of Transylvania, Rumanians 40-45 percent and then Germans and Jews together made up 20-25 percent. During the Third Reich, or Nazi Germany, many Germans throughout Europe moved to live in Germany. Then during the war, much of Transylvania's huge Jewish population was killed by Rumanians, Hungarians or in the Nazi Death Camps. After the war, much of Europe was pissed off at the Germans, or with the case of the Rumanians, wanted to further cleanse Transylvania of non-Rumanians, many Germans were forced to leave their native countries and live in Germany or Austria. Because of these events, the German and Jewish population in Transylvania is very tiny. Rumanianization of the Hungarians and the government sending hundreds of thousands of Rumanians to live in Transylvania has caused the Rumanian percentage of Transylvania to jump from 40 to 80 percent, and the Hungarian percentage to drop from 35 to 20 percent.
   
   But there isn't much we can do about it. The western world didn't care about Hungary in 1956, they're not going to care about Hungarians today. It'd be nice if a new symbolic king were to take the crown in Hungary. So long as he wouldn't have real power, and would simply act as a unifying force for the Hungarian people in the Carpathian basin, so that the Hungarians could look up to him as their servant, I think it'd be a good idea. But it's much too idealogical to work in reality, sadly. I think Slovaks and Rumanians would consider the return of a Hungarian monarch as a threat to their rule over Hungarian majority lands.

   Well, to be honest in her golden age, Hungary employed a lot of Italian crossbow mercenaries. And besides, crossbows pierce armour while regular bows do not, so I'm content with the crossbows. :p
   
   Yes, that would be a cool looking Székely unit.
   
   Yes, the capital city should either be Buda, or Esztergom, but there are other inaccuracies. For example, Bucharest didn't exist during the game's time span.
   
   Mhm, that's just the thing, nobody knows and nobody cares about anything east of Germany and Italy. To many people it's just a poor wasteland where everybody speaks Russian. But there isn't much we can do about it. We were dealt a bad hand at Mohács, in the 1841 uprising, at Trianon and then the 1956 uprising - that's the reality of it, and it's sad, but we have to accept that we're never going to become a 'great people' again who are recognized and respected. I know it sounds harsh, but we should be glad that at least we still have a country, no matter how small. At least we still have 14 million Hungarians, so we're not going to die out. There are hundreds and thousands of peoples without countries whose languages won't survive another 100 years.
   
   We should be grateful we're at least blessed enough to still exist and make an appearance in M2TW; even if inaccurately. :p

   yeas i have better things to do, but i can't help it when i say a turk write that the huns where only hunns, i just can't let it be i have to respond, i am verey patriotic and when i a see something that is a lie about hungary i get pisst off, i have hade many words whit rumanians and slovakians to, this so callad daco-roman myth that really makes me angry, but don't get me wrong i have rumanian friends here in sweden so i do not hate everybody, just them who are talking about the lies in are history, can they just be happy that they took are lands must they take are history to? :S :( hade we really so weak infantry in does days? i find the cavalry pretty boring, they are okey when the are charging but when they are fighting and standing still even the peasents can kill them if the peasants are not roiting when they where hitt by the charge... yeas 20 of them can kill 100 is not realitsic but there where elit units right? huszar 20-100 :p i hope your honfitás friend will try to make some new units then :)but still it is really disturbing that we hade som bad infantry, if are nation will only be archers and knights then i hope they will increase are attack whit arrows and knight attack, and the defence of the knights, and have som dismonuted knights, i say a mod that hade dismonuted hungarian nobols, the magyar cavalary shoud be dismonuted to and the royal bandarium or what they are calld, and then when get ritt of the bosnian archers, we didi never conquer all of Bosnia any ways only half of it (damn mongols) :P and they székleys arrrrhhhhh :p i rather see them as guards units like the byazniten guard archers, or as spearman i like spears hehe, the székleys did guard the transylavnian mountans, so as spears and archers they could be good, must be hard to ride on a horse in mountan terrian. hehe

   Well, the thing about the Huns is that we don't know a lot about them. But it's not very likely that we Magyars, or even the Székelys, are actually the Huns themselves. Read the post I made in that one discussion about the Huns, it's more indepth.
   
   As for the Daco-Rumanian Continuity theory, I myself don't put much stock in it, but then we have to be careful. Our Hungarian bias is obviously going to make us prefer to not accept it, which is why we have to keep an open-mind. And to be fair, that theory has a lot more going for it than those people who try to prove that we Hungarians are the descendents of Sumerians.
   
   Not to criticize Rumania, but it really does confuse me. They received 33% of Hungary, possibly its most beautiful and sacred land, now they are one of the largest countries in Europe- they have a lot of potentional and yet, it's not enough. Their nationalists are claiming that Trianon was cruel against Rumania and that Budapest should rightfully be Rumanian land. And not just that, but millions upon millions are migrating out of Rumania... lol why? I don't see millions and millions migrating out of puny Hungary. Why did they get all that land just so they can plunge into poverty and then emmigrate away from it off to Italy and France? Seems like a waste. But I'm letting my Hungarian bias get the better of me.
   
   Hungary had weak infantry only in the early centuries. Around the times of Janos Hunyadi and Matyas kiraly, we had plenty of heavy infantry. Janos Hunyadi actually made very heavy use of hand guns- there wasn't a single battle that he fought where he didn't use them. It's ironic, because for some reason Hungary doesn't have hand guns in this game...
   
   As for Székely, yes, they were some of the best fighters in the Medieval world, but how well were they equipped is a different matter. Even in her golden age, Hungary's great wealth that rivalled England's was only concerning the crown. The actual cities of Hungary weren't nearly as rich as the English, French or Italian cities. Because of this, Hungarians probably couldn't afford as good equipment unless it was the crown's professional black guard army or the upper classes.
