Just checked it seems I remembered it right
Yes I understand it may be a sourse of frustration. As far as I know Lithuanians were not much about heavy cavalry (leitis including). The problem is we as community put alot of expectation on the Polish civ. Having paladins is one thing but also having smth special about ther hussars another. Neighbouring civs desing is another problem while devs should also try to make the civ feel unique and balanced. Looks like Poles may have some farming related bonus what is boost to cavalry play in itself.
I hope they get paladins honestly but im not sure devs can meet all these expctations at ones. Thinking about it there could be a reverse lithuanian bonus with the relics where there are paladins who get extra armour for getting relics 11.

Throughout all these threads about DotD, Bohemians, Poles & renaming Slavs/Rus’ no one ever mentioned Lech, Czech & Rus brothers…

Leitis is actually really well done and in terms of look - my favourite unit. To be honest because only of this unit you feel that you play Lithuanians.
But overall I highly agree with You. Finger crossed that after RedBull tournament that will begin in around hour, they will leak some informations. They ofcourse can be changed before final release ( like Burgundian knight returning 50% of their gold cost after death ).

did they give informations before after tournament or is this speculation?
Right. That open gateway for some roleplay scenarios. Like doing Christian Otton III union: Poles+Teutons. Poles+Lithuanians+Bohemians+Magyars against 4 Teutons. Or as You said Poles+Bohemians+Slavs = “Lech, Czech and Rus”.
Unfortunately, only speculations.

Arabs? Rename them to match Berbers, Turks and Persians?
Lithuanians should be balts too.

I think this would be too far as they have been conceptualised as such from the start. The Saracen name is however the European name for them and the Arabs would be more appropriate.
In other news, why has there been so little publicity or speculation or information on the two new civilisations since the announcement of the DLC? Also where is the June AOE2DE special event/update?

We dont have any other baltic peoples so lithuanians are representing all balts atm.

The rest don’t really warrant any standalone civilisation. Neither the Finns, Estonians or Livonians. The Lithuanians are broad enough to cover any campaign or scenario storyline.

Sorry I didnt get the point. Czechs are Bohemians (more or less it depends on context).

Maybe those will be future civilization? I would hate to see eastern buildings used for them too.
Bohemia is the western part of Czech lands, which consist of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia.

They are a founding myth story of 3 brothers called Lech, Czech & Rus. From their starting point they went out hunting & each went in different directions: Lech went North towards what would become Poland, Czech went West to the Czech Lands & Rus went East to the Kievan Rus territory.

Another thing which makes me give a strong suspicion that the Slavs will be renamed Rus’ : the latter is a Civ in AOE4 which covers the same time period.

That depends on context as I wrote. If its spoken generaly like in the case of game, its mean all people of the kingdom of Bohemia.
ahaaaaa, I dont know that.
