I've got a question on Kuttenberg!!

[MayMousie]

I understand that the city is massive for the 15th century, but wasn't Paris bigger at this time?? Or am I wrong for comparing a capital to like, a second capital??

[lhapekl]

Kuttenberg is located in Bohemia

[Simonstej23]

It was one of the most important cities at that zimě, due to silvermines and Prague Groschen was made there. Basically who controlled Kuttenberg controlled Bohemia. It also helped Kings from Lucemburg house to become emperors of Holy Roman Empire

This guy has some great videos about the city.

Long story short - It's where the money is minted and it's a favoured city of kings like Wenceslas which made it important politically. At the time of the game it's also occupied by Sigismund which obviously makes it particularly interesting for the narrative.

KCD 1&2 is set in 15th century Bohemia which is not France it is roughly where the Czech republic is today.

Yeah, I know. but Paris was still alot bigger during the early 15th century. I just didn't know if comparing the two was even fair or not.

And I know, I was just wondering if comparing 1403 Paris to 1403 Kuttenberg was fair or not.

Paris was larger more populated.

But you know in 1400 the Black Death was still very much an impact in France and probably Bohemia also. It was devastating. Whole towns depopulated including Prague and Paris so assume Kuttenberg also.

To use an American analogy, it's probably Kuttenberg = New York and Prague = Washington.

Nah, that doesnt work. Too much slavness.

Nah, you want Tenochtitlan mate, the capital of sacrifice

Funny that you mention it. It was actually bigger than Paris in the middle ages.
