The Kingdom of Bohemia 1448 Campaign Update
Bohemian Coronation - new starting mission for Bohemia
Bohemia is in a state of chaos and civil war following the death of King Albert and the minority of his son Ladislaus the Posthumous. The Holy Roman Emperor confirmed Jiri Podebrady as guardian of the young king Ladislaus, entrusting him with the administration of Bohemia. A diet assembled at Prague also confirmed the regency on Jiri.
After various attempts at reconciliation with the Catholic party, the prominent leader of the Hussite party Jiri Podebrady sought a military solution. He gradually raised an armed force in north-eastern Bohemia, where the Hussites were strong and where his ancestral Litice Castle was situated.
March your armies and conquer Prague and Brno and defeat the armies of the "viceroy" Oldřich II of Rosenberg. With the power of the regency in his hands Jiri Podebrady can then be crowned as the new King of Bohemia!
NOTE: achieving this mission will lead to your faction obtaining several powerful units
New Bohemian Faction Events related to the Catholic-Hussite civil conflict and Hungarian invasion
Compacta Annulled (1462)
- Choosing yes to this event is the historical path. This will trigger a Catholic rebellion and an invasion by Hungary
- Choosing no to this event will trigger a Hussite rebellion and Hussite units will no longer be recruitable
Zelena Hora Alliance (1465)
- triggers for both yes and no
- general info event that foreshadows future civil conflict and Catholic rebellion
Bohemian King Excommunicated (1466)
- triggers only if player chose to stay Hussite
My Lord, grave news has reached us! The Pope has excommunicated our ruler and pronounced his deposition as king of Bohemia, which released all subjects of the Bohemian crown from their oaths of allegiance to him.
It is only a matter of time before the great Catholic powers will once again raise the banner of a Crusade against Bohemia!
Catholic Rebellion (1467)
- the character Zdenek of of Sternberk is no longer part of the Bohemian faction
- one rebel stack spawns 3/4 full spawns South of Prague (Cesky Sternberk) led by a rebel Zdenek of of Sternberk
- triggers if the player chose to stay Hussite in the previous event choice (Compacta Annulled)
Bohemian-Hungarian War (1468)
- Hungarian army led by Ferenc of Haje (or Ferenc the Terrible) besieges Brno
- another army under Jaroszlav Sternberk spawns too and besieges Opava
This event will trigger a war with Hungary and your relations with then will become abysmal. We already had Ferenc Hag, he is one of four Black Army mercenary commanders you can hire as Hungary.
But still even with war declared the army will in most cases wander back to Hungarian territory so we scripted the Black Army stack to besiege Brno the next turn while Jaroslav of Sternberk's rebel army will besiege Opava
Defenestration of Prague (1483)
- event triggers for any faction that holds Prague in 1483 if they are controlled by the human

A new noble house will spawn to replace the loss of the Podebradys
--------- no - continue as before, Vladislav does not spawn, Victorin and Henry Podebrady get to stay on as characters
