772-804 Charlemagne Saxon Wars  ...years ago Franks with Saxon support conquered the Thuringian empire. But now the Christian Franks also want to conquer pagan Saxony. The Abodrites were allies of the Franks. But the Saxons were supported by the Veleti, archenemies of the Abodrtes. This battle and can be fought as a double, somewhere in the woodland; Franks with Abodrites against Saxony and Veleti. At this time the Saxons had cavalry(0-3Cv)... ...late Saxons may use the shield wall... |

 833 battle of Nitra...the Moravian Empire under Mojmir (possibly of Alanian descent) claimed dominion over the neighboring principality of Nitra under Pribina in Slovakia...

Croats were a Moravian tribe in the north... |

Great work by all.
I love those "totem" like wooden 'gods' and musicians Vodnik. Are these conversions or figures from your Polish or German makers?
