    Default Question about the history of the mod itself..

    Was just curious, I noticed that in a very early draft of this, England was in? Was the original idea to be a long range Viking mod(Im guessing all of Northern and Northeastern Europe?)

    Will that come to fruition in a future release, or will the mod leader(I cant spell your name ) join with Heathen Storm on his Dark Ages mod?(that I also cant spell, but everybody should go support because it sounds epic, click his sig for it!)

    Personally, I'd love to see the British Isles, the Orkney and Faroe Islands, and Iceland integrated into the game, obviously not anytime soon, but all previous mods/official Viking expansions have been missing Iceland in particular.
    Plenty of settlements in Iceland, rather than just the one like in Empire. Perhaps even Greenland could make an appearance? And the Skraelings.

    The Last Kingdom has Iceland, and Heathen Storm's mod may have it(the map he has up for it has it there )

    And I would crap myself for a full blown map with Greenland and North America(With the Skraelings as a full playable faction!) XD

    Well speaking as the previous mod leader. I was the one that suggested to downsize the map from covering basically all of Europe to just the area you see now. It was my intention to expand the map later when there was a bigger team... perhaps I may continue with that if the others are still interested, or perhaps not.

    Some kind of merge with Heathens mod always made sense to me too...

    The very first idea, plans and some work on the mod were... many years ago (5?) and the idea was to make a Europe-wide mod. That's when the mod was first founded, by tnick77 (or some similar nickname). Then the mod changed leadership (and tnick left in frustration, cursing the mod to doom) to Vikingr... no, wait, he was after that... uhm... Horsa, who was before you?
    Well, since my memory betrays me, long story short - this is an ancient mod and several kings have already passed on. The first kings had vast dreams, but substantially little else, while the following generations narrowed their dreams a little bit, but built on and on and made them a reality.

    I am vikingr

    If i remember correctly it went from tnick to mocker? perhaps I am wrong... Then it died and I took leadership a few months later... Then became too busy a few months ago and handed leadership to Ulf.

    And, yeah, I remember Raven Darkwing. Didn't know Mocker took over after him though...

    Correct me if I'm wrong Haršurāšaz, but I don't think mocker was leader for very long.

    Somehow I think this will remain a standing joke with the older WotN members/followers

    Western Europe is, in fact, in my mod

    Ironically, the team have talked about adding in Greenland or Vinland in the second release, just for the hell of it

    But to answer the OP, yes. You're pretty much correct
