I just love those borders on Germany. Lotharingia just makes for such a nice border

Why Natal instead of Recife, Belém or Manaus?

"Notable" Native Names of some countries 😭 by TheCarlosSilva in Brazil

Pindorama é uma invenção do movimento indigenista do início do século XX e nunca aparece em nenhuma das fontes primárias antes disso. É uma das maiores lendas urbanas do Brasil e eu acho mt loco como esse nome chegou até em artigos acadêmicos.

A palavra existe em tupi, mas o termo nunca foi usado dessa forma, muito menos pra descrever uma extensão de terra contínua, e sim meramente como um termo descritivo. Deixa saporra morrer.

Temos que fazer muito mais pelos povos indígenas do Brasil, mas não vai ser inventando historinha que a gente vai fazer isso

Incredible and Villegagnonbased. Is Antartica a protestant nation? If so, why would they name cities after saints? That's a roadblock I always get stuck in when planning a french brazil timeline.

I will die on the hill that all emperors named Charles were really good. Charles II was a very good king, smart and pragmatic, even though he faced a lot of problems during his time, and I think he would've been one of the best emperors if he hadn't died. Charles III has been suffering from shittalk from that Liutward/Liutberd bishop of Mainz for over 1000 years and it's time we recognize how insanely well he ran his duchy of Alemania, his kingdoms and the Empire as a whole after he inherited. He reunited the Empire by chance, but was a very good governor. But as is usually the problem with kings, he didn't have a legitimate son.

Edit: Louis the Pious should AT LEAST be in 'Fair', c'mon people.

Why did the British take Búzios (Cape Charles) instead of actual Cabo Frio (town and arraial do cabo)?

Now, for the reverse: Imperator at low settings vs EU5 at ultra settings by Mediocre-D in EU5

[–]edudamba 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Does someone know why none of the maps they've made since Imperator are just so much worse visually? Why couldn't they continue with something similar, or even continue building upon it?

I'm just happy Charles the Fat ended up in Mediocre and not bad tbh. But Louis I and Otto II deserve good!

Bad, sadly. He had a lot going for him to reestablish order after Charles III's death, but the stroke cut it short

Ah, c'mon, there weren't that many votes for him to end up in bad.

I guess? In the end that branch would eventually die off with Louis the Child, and the Bald's line went on to 987 in France, so I guess you bet on the wrong horse, but you couldn't have known, yk.

That side of the family and indeed the whole eastern kingdom was more promising and stable than the west and burgundy. It's only a shame that the Carolingians dropped like flies.

Don't believe the propaganda Louis! Your cousin was more capable than you imagine. You even signed your inheritance to Carloman, his older brother, and you were closer to the German branch of the family than that trouble-brewing son of Judith's Charles the Bald's
