I shall dedicate my 500th post in this forum to a country I like very much and the history of which fascinates me: the Czech Republic, or as we all know it, Bohemia
The work you guys in the SWMH team have done on Bohemia is amazing, and I like how you factored in how Bohemia was very very rich in the middle ages, giving players in Bohemia those lush 6 and 7 slot counties
I have some suggestions though:
-Doudleby was very small and not very significant. BTW I know about the claim that it was the seat of Lord Slavnik but that would be long before 1066 and is not really substantiated anyway. The really important castle that completely outshone everything else in Southern Bohemia was Rosenberg/Rozmberk, the great stem castle of the Witigonen family. I would therefore suggest to rename Doudleby to Rozmberk (Rosenberg in German). In any case, the German name for Southern Bohemia is not Sud Böhmen (which sounds like saying that Bohemia is a kind of disgusting soup?), but Südböhmen, though I dislike that name as it is a bit generic It would also be nice if this county in the 1066 start was given to the Witigonen family. I know that is a little bit earlier than they appeared but would give the Bohemian duke a mighty family to contend with from the get-go.
-Glatz/Klodsko was an important though small county that for a substantial amount of time, whilst fully being a part of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, was not really totally a part of Bohemia proper. Since Bohemia is such an enormous duchy, it may be sensible to split Glatz off, create a second tiny county (eg. Hummel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lordship_of_Hummel It could just have two holdings, one of which is taken from Hradec and one is taken from Olomouc; both of those are very powerful counties that might need a nerf) and to make a separate "duchy" with those two counties in it: the county Glatz, a third constituent part of the Kingdom of Bohemia.
-Hradec: I really connect the name Hradec in a medieval context to Jindrichuv Hradec: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jindřichův_Hradec This was the seat of the extremely powerful Hradec family. Kralove Hradec (Königgrätz) was at that time just a small insignificant town. I suggest the province should be renamed to Litomysl (Leitomischl in German) or perhaps even better Pardubice (Pardubitz in German) in order to honour the first archbishop of Prague
Also, I wanted to suggest some very small things for the 1337 setup, fully knowing that this is not a high priority - I think Silesia and Lusatia (Lausitz) by then should be a de jure part of Bohemia Also, it would be awesome if you could correct the first-born son of Johann I. of Bohemia - his name should not be Wenzel (as per Vanilla) but Karl. Kinda important considering this man would go on to become one of the most important Holy Roman Emperors in history. And my apologies if you have already done so
