Ultima Thule - 700AD

[Meelis13]

not bad at all. im ready to offer my historical help, after Heidinn veor 1st release (i prefer to work on 1 project at time)

[Heathen Storm]

Over the past few months I have been very busy with other stuff and unfortunately have not been able to work on Ultima Thule. Now I am back and have managed to get all the maps working again after my HD crash

I have taken on-board the advice about Greenland and Svalbard and it has now been chopped from the map. Although I think it would be an interesting feature to have explorable lands I reckon it would be too much work to implement this concept. The new map has been tested and works, here is a preview:





Next I will look again at the provinces

Looks amazing! You have my support in units, if I can get my mod finished soon I will create new units for you. If not, you may use the units that I create (reskinned/remodeled, if you like).

I have been following the progress of Heidinn veor, the mod and the units are looking great, would definitely appreciate any help and support It would be great to have some support from folk with good knowledge of specific areas.

Thanks mate, the Lordship of the Isles preview was immense. You have a real flair for getting things together.

I am very much looking forward to both of these mods and your positive comments mean a lot

I won't lie that made me tear up a bit mate Thank you for that!

You definitely have a great idea now and I would love to see this finished.

That's a really nice map I'll surely play it when you release

Thank you it has taken around 6 months on and off + still have to touch up features and define regions properly.

The map looks great , seems like it'll be a cool mod.

The faction list seems long - and people recommending new factons etc. THe one you initially proposed seems like the best -- sometimes Too many factions ruins the gameplay.

Thanks, I hope so

I will probably start developing with fewer factions and then see how it goes adding others. In other mods I have always tried to maintain balanced gameplay and generally this has been successful, I will also bear this in mind when it comes to determining factions.

Map looking great, you kinda forgot a big part of the Ardennes and the Eiffel but great stuff.

[Finlander]

This surely looks interesting! I'll keep eye on this mod.

Ultima Thule is mysterious land described by Phyteas, the greek explorer around 330-320 BC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_Thule

On you, I made a joke

[Meelis13]

On you, I made a joke

on you still- you presumed, that i didnt understand, that it was a joke, while i just wanted to see the reaction of that reply.

Just posting my thoughts here, not really a criticism. There are at least 3 mods dealing with the Viking Raids era and area. I have played TLK and the units are great but the mod still needs some work. I know many of you share ideas and files but have any of you working on these similar mods considered working together for one very good mod?

I was thinking a larger map that included all of the Viking known world will be fun as well. This would include the Carolingian kingdoms, Ilberia, Italy, and E. Europe down to the Greece, perhaps stoping with including half the E. Roman Empire. Muslim conquest would come into the mod but not include the Holy Land as the crusades are a good way off from starting at ad 700--I like the start date, or something close.

Anyway, best of luck modding.

You essentially described my mod, just earlier in time I think he planned on having a "small" area for his map, he wanted mainly to focus on the Northern area as to generalize over a more broad area.

[Mr Kriegtooth]

Theres nothing I love more than Viking Mods

Be sure to have a good few Irish kingdoms. Munster, Ulster, Connacht, Leinster. If your Ireland will be really big anyway

As noted on the first page(I havent read the entire topic, so I hope im not just saying whats already been said), the Nordic "countries" werent united yet, so you could make multiple factions for them

cool look forward to seeing it
