it will be little unfair-Gelre as legal duchy of the HRE independent, and Bohemia which was almost absolutely independent (f.i. far more independent than Austria, bavaria, Gelre etc., as I described above, with own foreign policy, out of imperial laws - in fact out of the Empire itself, but in formal feudal subjectivity to the Empire) as vassal.

[Ben Nevis]

I wasn't ironic though

How's the game progressing?
are you guys still having fun developing it?

[Ben Nevis]

Elewyn, don't ruin it for me ;)

[Elewyn]

I'm not ;)

I just asked. I want correct rights for my country :) (don't take this sentence seriously, I mean, not SO seriously, I want it, of course :))
I doubt they will change relations to all states in vassality to HRE/Germany. It's easier to kick Bohemia out of this "confederacy" :)

ooooh and I am jealous, also

PS: Ben Nevis. Funny, you are Dutch and you have nick - the highest mountain of Scotland :D

[Ben Nevis]

Maaaaaaaaan, you know everything!!!!!!

is it a historian, is it a Munro hopper, no it's Elewyn

[Elewyn]

I just wanted to ask "WHY"? :)

because you have no hills in the Netherlands? :D

[Ben Nevis]

I did this "West-Highland-Way" (from Glasgow to Fort William"), after which I climbed the Ben Nevis. Thought it was a nice name to use as a nick. Get a lot of responses, guess it's pretty well-known. Some only know it from the Whiskey, though (only the alcoholics) :cheers: .

Hmm...it has some jewish ring to it actually. :o

[Ben Nevis]

doesn't sound Jewish to me........

[Finellach]

Well "Ben" is quite common prefix to some jewish surnames and not to mention also a very common name as well (shorter from Benjamin).

[Ben Nevis]

What does 'Nevis' mean? The river and glen running past the mountain both carry the name, as does the remote sea loch at Knoydart, 40 miles to the west. In Gaelic the mountain's name, Beinn Nibheis, has been linked with Irish and Gaelic words meaning poisonous or terrible, implying a fairly ominous character.

btw. "Ben" = "son" in Hebrew
whereas "Benjamin" = "son of the right hand"

But come on, it's a three letter word, I bet a lot more languages have a word for "Ben". "Ik ben" (related to Ich bin) is "I am" in Dutch.

Ben could also be an abbreviation of Benedict, which is blessed in Latin or Bentley ;) , which is a car and "from the moor".

Thus, it still doesn't sound Jewish to me.

But I fully respect your opinion:cheers:

hahaha
the highest hill in the Netherlands(sorry but its definitely not a mountain)
is called BEN LEVIS!!! haha
:rofl:
i told you the lemons are everywhere

[Ben Nevis]

This Ben we are talking about is certainly a mountain, although I would prefer the word Munro. But then again, it's the highest Mountain of the British-Irish-islands and not situated in Holland, although this might change when I get a chance to play KoH. After I'm done with KoH you'll be surprised how many mountains and Munro's are within the Dutch (or Gelrish) borders. :p

And finally in the game it's 'Germany' or ´HRE'?

I know HRE coud be confusing for some customers, but 'Germany' is not similar to the historical facts. What about something like this: Holy Empire of the German Nation. :scratch:
