I still have no answer...

I meant, I don't care much about historical accuracy... And many games have done much worse to Portugal's past (mainly Shogun: Total war, with that Spanish flag). But what the hell is "Tago"? And Lisbon should be where "Tago" is... Where did you get that idea for a town? I just don't get it... :sick: I don't remember a "Tago" in my country... And my parents (both have University degrees in history) can't either... :nono:


It's insane :silly:

[stainless]

i don't know much history of portugal but there is also a province called Tago in Europa Universalis.

[Crushyerbones]

That is strange...

The only thing I can find which is similar to it is "Tejo", but that is the name of a river...



During the history of Portugal, the most important cities have been:
Guimarães (the capital, before the taking of Coimbra from the Muslims)
Coimbra (which stayed as the most important city until the 19th century)

Unless I'm terribly mistaken of course, it's all a bit foggy to me

Besides being on the wrong place, I don't even think there was a Lisbon on 1200 ad...

Tago não é na espanha meu amigo lusitano?

[Crushyerbones]

Agora que falas nisso... Mas não é para o Norte?

(translation)
Now that you mention it, isn't Tago is in in the North of Spain?

[jubei]

"But what the hell is "Tago"?" Who knows??? Some spanish province...

Yeah, instead of lisbon should be Porto or Guimaraes... Lisbon is in the south, not north of portugal. :rolleyes:

And what the hell is that portuguese shield (escudo)?? Red and Green? that colors were only adopted 800 years later, with the republican government!
