AGC-EEP Holland

some "observations"

-whats the marriage of Anne of Burgundy doing in the Hainau(l)t event file?
- since Artois is "actually" part of s-Flandern (up to Lille and Arras there are even now "Dutch" speakers) there *should* be some event to make it Dutch cultured if certain conditions apply (ie.. if the region is ruled by a "dutch" country at *some* yet to be determined date/timeframe)
- how small was the chance *really* that Hainau(l)t or whatever you want to call it, WOULD survive? (I'd like a more peacefull survival, if this is possible within the historical frame, for example Burgundy being to much occupied elsewhere, and thus giving concessions)
- perhaps the "zeeland" taxes could be partially split between adjoining provinces, to be returned at some date? (my comment on the dutch setup )
- some extra (flavour, or big) events for a surviving Hainau(l)t would be cool ("war of religion", meddling in burgundian inheritance.. that kind of things)

Hainaut wasn't doomed or anything, just the victim of a dynastic squabble that ended with it's absorbtion. It was in fact the strongest of all the Dutch states.

And you have it backwards, I was saying that the province of Artois corresponds with southern (french) Belgium, and that the real artois is actually inside Flandern province, not that Artois province is southern Flanders...

still... i DO believe that IF Hainau(l)t has Artois at the start (especially then) it should be able to become Dutch cultured ( I just figured out what Hainau(l)t was in Dutch... and that name does suggest it was at some time VERY dutch)
also.. if Artois was part of Hainau(l)t it isn't supposed to give difficulty governing I'd think.. and i think it would go too far giving Hainau(l)t French culture..
