**Horsa** · October 12, 2010, 05:48 PM

Looks like its gonna be Gautland then.

**Heathen Storm** · October 13, 2010, 12:58 AM

I would actually like to see Holmgarðr! I am very curious on your Rus' roster. That, and I do love the Rus' before Christianization. They are very mysterious

**spike_gta** · October 13, 2010, 09:06 AM

If only there was a Skåne subfaction to play... :p

"Skyforger" song "Kurshi" Lyrics:

Don't blow, mother wind
don't bend the dry fir
while my brothers
sail across the sea

Tread, brothers, upon your swords
standing on this shore
thus we'll tread our enemies
on the shore across

From the castlemounds of Dzintare and Vartaja
600 men of Kursa have gathered on the seashore
their spears and swords brightly glitter in the sun,
some carry an oaken cudgel or a sharp axe,
the banners of war are flapping in the tall masts of 20 ships,
a long while has gone since their last
pillage-sailing took place...

The olden krive has waded in the water up tho his knees
He is rising the axe soiled by the
offering's blood to the sky
The name of mighty Perkons loudly he calls
and begs for his favour and defence in this fight.

The horns are blown and men shove their ships in the waves,
an old man starts the ancient song of war :

"We are Kurshi - the men from the land of amber
to the north now is leading our way;
right as the Northmen plunder our shores
to take revenge now we sail.
For a long time they will remember our cudgels
and pray for their God of cross :
Oh, Lord, save us from the men of Kursha!"

**MagUidir** · November 25, 2010, 02:14 AM

looks great! the units detail is amazing! keep it up! +rep

**Meelis13** · November 27, 2010, 09:17 AM

may i offer 1 more faction for this mod? if i do, i reccomend adding estonians to this mod- Estonians were much mightier raiders than Kursi, estonian ancestors burned even Sigtuna (1187) and pushed back swedish vikings several times and raided their lands. in mid-12th century danes barely won Estonian-kursi common fleet (most ships in fact were estonian ships), it was almost phyrrical win for danes. True, estonians didnt worship viking gods or belong to same language (nation) group as scandinavian ppl, BUT estonians would make perfect add-on faction. think about it
