[@dymaxion3988]

I love how this is made! In my opinion countryball map timelines work best without a linear time scale. When the year counter in the corner controls what’s happening, the countryballs end up standing around a lot. The animation goes smoother when you allow yourself to fast-forward through boring parts.

[@cerebrummaximus3762]

You could still do that with a year timer. You don't have to have the exact same amount of time for every year, you can 'make' some years longer for the sake of a smooth and fitting animation. Although I do agree with, knowing each year is useful :/

Man, I wanna see you do the history of the region from like, the year 200 bc. This is way too well made. There are no complaints. A very very specific and relatively legendary set of dutchies belonging to the First Bulgarian Empire could have been depicted. Namely, the Dutchy of Gelou (AKA Transylvania), Glad (AKA Banat) and Menumorut (AKA Crisana). Now, these are not obligatory to be included, since they were simply lands of Bulgarian and Romanian warlords, and many Hungarians deny their existence. Your simplified depiction of this history is fantastic. As a romanian history nerd, I know leadership and vassalage changed more than this video depicts, but showcasing that in the video, and the brief months of foreing rule, independence, or varying vassalship would be totally autism inducing. I love this for what it is. Accurate and simple!
