The votes are in, and the next Extra History series (after the Zulu) will be on the reign of Justinian and Theodora in the Eastern Roman Empire!

Nice! I don't know much about the Byzantine empire but my interest has gone up lately. Hopefully you guys will cover some of the Byzantine military, the legacy of the Roman army.

Russell Wishard

I've been playing Attila Total War and it's been peaking my interest about the late Roman Empire(s)

Colin

Awesome! That was the topic I had suggested, so I'm really looking forward to it! Thanks you guys!

Laura Galm

Same here, I didn't get any emails from Patreon about voting. On the flip side this sounds like what I would have voted for anyway.

Brian Matthews

Are we getting ahead of ourselves? I would have thought that we would do better focusing attention (both viewers and staff) on 1-2 histories. The viewers are excited about the south sea bubble, and the staff about zulu. Wouldn't it have been a better time to do a poll when zulu 1 came out?

Amy Reynolds

HUZZAH! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!! Theodora ranks as one of my favorite female figures in all of history, right up there with Eleanor of Aquitane (who I feel she would have gotten along with very well...).

Theodora was pretty amazing, she's one of my favorites too! I don't know too much about Eleanor of Aquitaine though, although I'd definitely be interested in learning about her.

It should have notified you when the post went up on March 1. Do you generally get notifications from Patreon?

I'm hearing this more and more, and it's troubling. Do you generally get emails from Patreon about these posts?

We're switching to the one-week schedule during the Zulu series, which means it will go by in a matter of weeks. In order to get all the writing done, all the art made, and finally all the production edits in, we need a pretty big ramp of time to prepare. We're actually going to need another topic this month in order to keep things on track for the future.

Only those that paid enough get notifications that there is a poll. Your announcement on the result goes to us all, including those of us that didn't pay as much.

This makes more sense. Thanks. It's amazing that you can focus so much that this pace is possible. Way to go!

Yeah I get messages from Patreon, and I donate 5 dollars each month. Just curious, what were the choices?

ExtraCredits
>>374861

Yeah, I can see people's donations so I saw that Jason was a $5 patron. You should have received the vote notification, Jason, and I'm sorry you didn't! The choices were: Justinian and Theodora Life of Caesar Life of Alexander the Great Battle of First Manassas (Bull Run) I'm really not sure why so many people who usually get messages haven't been getting their Patreon notifications lately, but I've emailed the Patreon folks about it to see if they know anything about it.

Bigfootmech
>>374703

Yeah. Got the notification for this message, all the episodes pre and post patreon, and an email about this vote being done later, but not for the vote itself. Doesn't matter for me so much cause I'm donating as much as I want to, not for reward goals :3

ExtraCredits

Even so, I'd like to figure out if there's a recurring error happening so we can fix it! But at least there will be another vote this month, since what I announced up there was the results for February. So the vote will roll around again!

I didn't see that when I pledged and I had it on' no reward' anyhow. Fixed it so it's set right.

Might I suggest that the topics that got the least votes be purged from reappearing in the next polls? With only 4 options to choose from, each one is precious, and from previous polls it seems that patrons prefer more unusual and unique topics that they might not have the chance to learn about elsewhere. I am not against having Ceasar and Alexander as topics, but maybe not on the same poll?

This is awesome! Byzantine Empire is rarely covered.
