Unmentioned villages

So i was thinking about announced locations. They say the map will not have invisible barries at borders , however they didn´t mention any villages behind Stříbrná Skalice. There should be at least 2 villages, there was a path leading to them so it would be weird to mask them with forest. It is only about 2 km away from Skalice. I think they deserve some attention.

First village is called Hradové Střimelice (formerly Dědice). It was founded in the middle of 13th century ( it is older than Skalice) . It has benefit of being on hill. There was a castle, church, tavern, silver mines and plenty of homesteads. The founder of castle - Jan Střimelička was the highest ranked judge in the whole country (judex terrae). He even acquainted with John of Nepomuk and adviced Charles IV. for a while. The castle was something like trading post. Every merchant traveling from Prague stopped there before going to Skalice or Sázava. Merchants sometimes used it as storage. Castle wasn´t conquered till 17th century. And another important thing is, next owner Petr Hromada was hussite. He was raiding whole country with his retinue. Finaly they arrested him in Chotěboř (Chotieborsch) and burned him alive.

Second village is called Hradec. It was more like stronghold. It was fortified little village though it had much important mills on river which flows through.

Everyone who came from Prague went through one of these villages so i wonder if they wil mention them. And what will they do with path from Skalice to Střimelice. Also right now both villages are part of same territory as Skalice so it would be great if we could see them in this game. :wink:

Here is picture of castle in Hradové Střimelice

Hello,
I take it you have some personal link to that place…

Though when I look at fanmade map which is pretty accurate (and made by @DrFusselpulli, thanks a lot) and compare it with a google map I clearly see that Hradové Střemlice are bit far from the border of the game map.


here the comparison

Game map is pretty compressed so theoretically it could be fited there, but only with some effort. But as this castle/village did not probably had not part in the events of the game story I see no reason for it to be there.

Maybe in later Acts?

Well, you can literally see from one village to another and i just think it won´t be good to see buildings and not be able to go there. I don’t think 2 km are too far. Just look at Talmberk. Nothing happened there at that time and it is even smaller. I don´t say Střimelice were very important, but there was atleast hussite leader in castle.

By the way did you notice, that on map you sent there is written Hradové „Střemlice“?

Well that is actually my typo, because even when the maps found Střimelice they did not wrote it there so I made the title myself.

At the end of the day something has to be included and something left out, otherwise the “its only 2 km” would lead us to the map of the wole Bohemia.
