Overview[]

Bohemia[]

The Kingdom of Bohemia, sometimes also referred to as the Czech Kingdom, was a state located in the region of Bohemia in Central Europe, whose territory is currently included in the modern-day Czech Republic. During its height, it also had parts of present Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine (For Zakarpatskaya Oblast). It was a kingdom in the Holy Roman Empire, and the King was a Prince-Elector of the empire until its dissolution in 1806. Many Kings of Bohemia were also elected Holy Roman Emperors. Its capital Prague was effectively the centre of the Holy Roman Empire in the late 14th century, and at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries. From 1526, the kingdom was continuously ruled by the House of Habsburg and its successor house Habsburg-Lorraine.

After the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, the territory became part of the Habsburg's larger Austrian Empire, and subsequently the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867. Bohemia retained formal status as a separate kingdom, known as a crown land within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and its capital Prague was one of the empire's leading cities. In the last years of Austria-Hungary, Bohemia was the empire's most advanced and economically prosperous crown land. The Czech language (called the Bohemian language in English usage until the 19th century) was the main language of the Diet and the nobility until 1627. German was then formally made equal with Czech and eventually prevailed as the language of the Diet until the Czech national revival in the 19th century. German was also widely used as the language of administration in many towns after Germans immigrated and populated some areas of the country in the 13th century. The royal court used the Czech, Latin, and German languages, depending on the ruler and period.

Vaclav II[]

Wenceslaus II Premyslid was King of Bohemia (1278–1305), Duke of Cracow (1291–1305), and King of Poland (1300–1305). He was the only son of King Ottokar II of Bohemia and Ottokar's second wife Kunigunda. He was born in 1271, ten years after the marriage of his parents. Kunigunda was the daughter of Rostislav Mikhailovich, lord of Slavonia, son of a Grand Prince of Kiev, and Anna of Hungary, daughter of Béla IV of Hungary. His great-grandfather was the German king Philip of Swabia. Wenceslaus II was the grandfather of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles IV. He was a member of the Přemyslid dynasty.

Dawn of Man[]

Hail the mighty King Vaclav II, ruler of the lands of the Crown of Saint Wenceslas. The Kingdom of Bohemia lies within the conclaves of European power, between the Holy Roman Empire in the west and the Kingdom of Poland in the east. An important elector to the Holy Roman Emperors and champion of the Hussite cause, Bohemian history espouses a nation of great and fierce pride, and serves as a reminder of the once noble Kingdom which lay at the crossroads of Europe's east and west.

Proud monarch, a resurgance of Czech identity has instilled in your people their desire for a sovereign nation once more. Can you restore the Crown Lands of Bohemia? Where once rose great castles and Kings of great character. Can you build a civilization to stand the test of time?

Vaclav diplo

Leaderscene by Leugi

Introduction: "Welcome to the Lands of the Crown of Saint Wenceslas. I am Vaclav II, King of Bohemia, and honoured descendant of the founders of the royal dynasty of Přemyslids."

Introduction: "I am Vaclav II, King of Bohemia. I am the ruler for the Lands of the Crown of Saint Wenceslas, and I bid you welcome."

Defeat: "You have defeated my Kingdom, but one day there will be a re-awakening, and my people will carve a new Kingdom onto this earth."

Strategy[]

BohemiaIcon256

As Vaclav II, founding a religion is important, however the lack of one does not mean you can't win. The suggested victory to aim for is a diplomatic victory, and Vaclav has a lot of tools to defend himself from the other victory types. Keep your Tabors near your most vulnerable cities and stack a ranged unit on top of them if you can.

The Hrad might be worth beelining for the defense and the gold it gives if you have one of the improved resources within your workable borders. The extra gold it gives synergizes well with the ability to buy Tabors.

If you have a neighbour which happens to spam missionaries (Haile Selassie comes to mind), you might receive an extra military unit from time to time, which can be kept or gifted to a city state for a minor influence boost.

Czech Language[]

A 13th century manuscript created by Dvur Králové to espouse the greatness of Bohemian identity has turned out to be a forgery. Nonetheless, it has sparked interest in the Czech language, since eroded by the influences of German, and a swelling of national pride has been instilled in the people. It would be a perfect opportunity to revive our ancient language.
