Something that I've always wondered is why the Norse made no attempt to establish themselves on the German island of Rügen. It is located relatively close to both Denmark and Sweden, both countries (as far as I know) have actually owned the island in the past but this was well after they had been Christianised. With a more hospitable climate and closer proximity to the homeland than other areas of Norse settlement such as Iceland, I would have thought Rügen would have been a prime location for Norse activity.
Zeon's strategy of developing the next superweapon instead of mass-producing the best available weapons they could at the time (quality over quantity) allowed the Federation to overtake them with the RX-78 series and the GMs derived from them (initially quality, and later on quantity). Lore-wise, you hear this all the time: "Had Zeon mass-produced the [Gelgoog, Zeong, whatever Mobile Armor] just several weeks earlier, they would have won the OYW".
Since Zeon's MS/MA matched and later outclassed the RX-78 series, I'd have to agree. Although Zeon lost many of their aces to the White Devil of the Federation, I'd bet that (Newtype) rookies in the Zeong and MA could have made up for their numerical disadvantage. Char alone takes out hordes of enemies in the Zeong, and he's not even that powerful of a Newtype.
Zeon was on its last legs, of course, but I'd imagine after the Solar Ray attack, the Federation was as well.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 50%. (I'm a bot)
> When amateur archaeologist Rene Schön and his 13-year-old sidekick Luca Malaschnitschenko found a shiny piece of metal on a treasure hunt near Schaprode on the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen three months ago, they initially thought they had merely spotted a piece of tinfoil.
> It turned out to be part of the most significant single find of coins and ornaments linked to King Harald Bluetooth.
> More than 100 pieces date back to Bluetooth's reign.
> Schön's find was not entirely down to luck, perhaps, as in the 1870s, pieces of gold jewelry believed to be linked to Bluetooth were found on the island of Hiddensee, which is next to Rügen.
> Harald Gormsson, who was known as Bluetooth because he had one strongly discolored tooth, reigned over what is now Denmark, northern Germany, southern Sweden and parts of Norway from 958 to 986.
> The find suggests that the treasure may have been buried in the late 980s, when Bluetooth fled to Pomerania - an area that today straddles parts of northeast Germany and western Poland - after losing a battle against his son, Sweyn Forkbeard.

While the relationship with neighbouring kingdoms and states of the Teutonic Order, Sweden, Poland or Hungary were possibly the main part, did they attempted rear alliances or relations with the Holy Roman Empire, the Papacy, France or even the Latin Empire; or were they always overshadowed by ties with Constantinople?
Hi everyone, first post on here. Been using Wonderdraft for a few months, and i thought this would be good to show off lol
Ancoult will be the starter city for a D&D game im putting way too much attention and work into. I plan on having this printed out, stained to look like a real map, rolled up and sealed with a proper wax seal. Itll be a nice thing to give to the players once they order a map from the cartographer.
