    Default No one working on a pagan/Northern crusades mod?

    The Teutonic campaign is OK; but it starts a little late in a conflict which really has so much more to offer.

    The map could encompass the entire period, from the late 9th century-10th century battles between the Saxons, Danes and HRE with the pagan Obotrites, Wagrians, Rani and Polabians to the later era seen in the Kingdoms campaign.

    The early battles like the destruction of Hamburg by the Abotrite king Mstivoj to the full-blown Wendish Crusade of the Ottonians against the renowned pagan Niklot, chief of the Obotrite confederacy.

    The Papal-called crusade against the Livs, Letts and Estonians and the emergence of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword order.

    And all of the many other wars along the Baltic coast, like the Prussian Crusade by Conrad of Mazovia and the founding of the Order of Dobrzyń.

    All of the other various pagan groups in the region besides the Lithuanians, like the Galindians, Yotvingians, Cunonians, Semigallians, Selonians and Latgalians.

    Later on, an emerging faction would be the Teutonic Knights.

    The pagan shrines, like the great shrine to Svantevit at Arkona in the Rani territory. Destroyed by the Danes at the Battle of Arkona in 1168.

    So much fodder for a total war campaign. Anyone working on such a thing?

    My mod HRR offers the Obotrites as a faction and starts early enough. Also, the HRE is divided into duchies so you can focus on the Saxonian v.s. Obotrite conflict if you wanted.

    Heres the link to the mod: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=498
