The largest Hungarian roleplayer site, rpg.hu has opened a dedicated topic for Improved Anvil in the "RPGs, adventure games" subforum of its "Computer games" forum. Each known game has a dedicated topic in this forum, and now Improved Anvil also got an own topic.

And with a good number of posts already, by the looks of it.

This is very interesting, only the other week I said to Sikret that I wish we could know how many IA players are out there who don't post on the forum here. Do keep us posted (and, of course, refer any of the players here if our assistance could be useful ).

Yes, the statistics were already indicating a huge number players (most of them probably don't even browse any discussion boards).

If only we could read it, huh?
Well, besides Baronius, of course.

The subtitle of the Improved Anvil topic says: "adventures in nightmare degree".


Fortunately, my assistance isn't needed: Ryel and shadan also visit that forum (though they seem to be inactive/away), as well as Vuki. I've already seen links there to the central Improved Anvil forum.

Kinda makes me wish I had taken that course in Hungarese.

And it was requested by me.

I was wondering how much people from Europe and especially from Hungary are interested in IA. It seems to me that most people (maybe 70-80%) are from Europe. Is this because we cultivate much more old games? Or is this just accidentally and other mods are more popular outside Europe? Do you have a country based statistics? It could be interesting.

The hungarian is a very hard language (not as the chinese but not far from it), not only have nearly free word order but there are lots of case when we miss out one-two word from the sentence. If it isn't enough there are lots of strange spell.
The árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép are two hungarian word, what means a mirrordrill what tolerates the flood.

I only want write down some couriosity so take course in hungarian (magyar in our language).

In one of the episode of Might&Magic (VI. or VII) you can meet with the Magyars. They are nomads in the game and they usually attack with bows.

And did they use the same tactic too? I.e. attacking (obviously on horses, if someone might not know), then pretending retreat, and while enemies are chasing us, shooting arrows backward (and defeating them). It's hard to estimate (at least for a non-historian like myself) how many "battles" we won with this tactic (we practically pillaged through half Europe), though the German armoured knights taught us a lesson in 955 during the battle of Augsburg (Lechfeld).
