Hey! Great Mod.

I noticed several historical "missplacements\names" within the Norwegian faction.
[COLOR=Black]
So i'm here to correct for the 1.0 If u like

So here is my Info:
The sole king of Norway In 1080 was Olaf The Peacefull. He should probably have some popularity and growth traits due to his wise rule of building, creating and diplomacy.. He also strengthened the church influence in Norway. He was more an administraitor than a warrior.

His son however Magnus III was a general who sought to go to war with all Denmark, Sweden, Scotland and Ireland at to rise of power in 1093. In 1098, he conquered the Orkney Islands, the Hebrides and the Isle of Man. He even almost captured entire Ireland, but was ambushed and killed. He should have the traits of a general

He sought to build and empire but didn't get this far.. Therefore, some chivalry traits also.

In Game the king should be Olaf Kyrre(30yr old - wife Ingrid of denmark). His son should be Magnus(7yr old). There was no daughters , but due to gameplay just add a princess

Stavanger should start with a churh.

Names for heirs and kings:
Harald
Eirik
Haakon
Øystein
Olav
Sigurd
Inge
Guttorm
Sverre

That's the names of the Norwegian Kings. in the medieval ages

I'll also send you a map with the correct locations of the norwegian settlements

Thanks, looking forward to the 1.0!!

Biip me if you need more help!

Bergen - City

Oslo - Castle

Stavanger - City

Nidaros - City

Id remove Stavanger from that list and add either Konghelle- Castle, or Thunsberg- city.

Stavanger was made a bishopric in the early 12th century. Probably not even a village in 1080.

The norse names were

Bjørgvin

Ásló

Stafangr (altough I agree with Hansa, Stavanger was hardly a city at the time)

also Nidaros was the capital
