The Hussite wars/ Bohemian struggle

[Miskys]

I love CK3. I have 950+ hours on this game and still as a Czech I miss one thing. The hussite wars that took place in 1419-1434. These wars shook the central Europe and were an inspiration for Luther (reform the Church without fighting). In the game exists a branch of Christianity called Adamites Which were branch of the hussite faith that was even more radical and even Hussites persecuted them. It would be great if around the year 1402 Jan Hus appeared. He would start preaching and counties in Bohemian duchy started to convert. You would then (as a bohemian King) had to decide either to kill Him, let him preach but not converting or adopt this faith. If you kill him it will spark a revolution. A peasant revolt supported by nobles who convert to the Hussite faith. A peasant leader Jan Žižka would lead them. Czech culture will have a cultural innovation called war wagons that would be effective against heavy cavalry, bowmen and crossbowmen. They could be countered by bombards,trebuchets etc. And if war wagons were against each other it will cancel out. The peasant rabble will have these war wagons so it wont be that easy to defeat them. If you do not kill him, hussite nobles might want to overthrow you. If you adopt, Emperor will try to revoke your title and pope might excomunicate the bohemian king. I think its an important movement that really caused problems in the HRE and pope even called 4 crusades against the Hussites! And also if adamites are in CK3 why not Hussites?

Btw the Adamites of ck3 are not the same ones from the hussites. I definitely agree though that they should be a late game heresy

The adamites are a gnostic heresy from before game start, which did mass naked (like adam), rather than always nude as paradox memes would have you. Jan hus and jan zizka are too distinct from the game start to be pre scripted, whats better is for wars to persecute to be more fleshed out, than just constant revolts whilst the court priest function ticks up

When they added Historical Figures as landless adventurers in the Roads to Power patch (including John Wycliffe, whose writings inspired Hus), they were asked why they didn't add Jan Hus or Zizka there too and as far as I remember, the answer was that they were saving them and the hussites for later. So they'll probably show up in the game at some point.
