Please change the architecture for Bohemians

I have to say I have looked at another topic also with similar name and few other related posts in other topics so mine is an overall impresion. I had a look here and posts are actually more to the point of actual architecture esp the original post. As a matter of fact in some post from few weeks back I also suggest Central European set is an option for the Bohemians.

I have also seen a point made that in the slav civ there is nothing representing western slavs a part from the architecture. I understand nothing so I cant claim what is the correct approach but cetrainly it doesn look to me south slavic. I have been to both Czechia and Poland and may be it feels a bit more appropriate for the Poles but again Im no expert.

Yes, the Slav civ is a disaster and pretty much only represents the Rus and Bulgarians (who have their own civ anyways). The only slight nod to west Slavs there (Poles in particular) is the brick Gothic architecture of the castle age. Ironically, this style isnt even eastern. Or Polish. Its mostly found in Denmark, Benelux and northern Germany, but also northern Poland. But there it was usually built by the Teutonic order, so again, not that iconic. Otherwise, it still suffers from the same inaccuracies. Poles didnt use Russian style rooftops, didnt build cabins out of whole timber logs and didnt have these whitewashed buildings of the imperial age eastern set.

Despite that, I think the set isnt too terrible for Poles. But its just plain wrong for Bohemia. Especially the idea of Bohemians (and Poles) having an orthodox church is pretty laughable.

Agree absolutely.

So basically Bohemians will have orthodox churches with a catholic wonder (probably) while depicting Hussites who were fighting against the (catholic) church and defended against many (catholic) crusades all backed by monks created in orthodox churches…

Slovenia and Croatia also!
Lusatian and Polabians too :wink:

Orthodox church from eastern European architecture set is very good for future Byzantine architecture.

This Orthodox church is in Byzantine style - using in early Ruthenian countries and also in Byzantine Empire of course :wink:
