Who are the Rhodoks based on?

[A Disappointed Horse]

I think they're Italian but I'm really not sure.

Swadia is Poland.

1. Has good cavalry
2. Sandwiched between superpowers
3. Gets divided up by its neighbors within the first year

Good meme

Also, if it were not for taleworld's direct description of the battanians, I would actually attribute the battanians to the Germanic people's such as the alemmani who lived in central Europe due to the wolf cult being widely popular there

Bavaria? I mean think of it theyre supposed to be close to the swadians a.k.a. germans but more mountanous, which bavaria certainly is. Idk.

[felmari]

i think scotland as well and the highlands.

[Pitriot]

maybe ireland? i mean, they are green and the color does sometimes correspond with them

[ULTRA]

why are you doing this to me

[Big Floppa]

Vaegir- Russian (Climate, Boyars)
Swadia- French (Heavy cavalry, crossbow reliant for ranged weapons)
Rhodoks- Swiss (Lack of cavalry, excellent crossbow and pike units, terrain)
Nords- Scandinavians (Pretty damn obvious)
Khergits- Mongols (Also pretty obvious, luckily not OP like IRL Mongols)
Sarranids- Middle Eastern (Dress, terrain, weapons)

this makes sense but there are a lot of nations that dont have cavalry. i suppose theyre just some gaulic hilltribe.

[Pitriot]

even though, according to them they see themselves as the successor state to the old calradian empire so take it as you will but maybe this hints something.

Swadia - China
Rhodoks - Somalia

idk i mean if they were vassals of the germans they cant be french but italian feels a lil odd...
actually it makes sense if theyre immitating the old empire that ruled over everyone and that everyone claim to be (Rome).

Swadia = Western Europe, mostly the French with a bit of extra England sprinkled in there.
Rhodok = Italian and Swiss city states
Sarranid Sultanae = Middle East/Arabia
Vaegirs = Russian
Nords = Vikings
Khergit = Mongolia/Huns
