    I'm not sure if this will help or not, as I see you are finished now with the unit models, but I was reading a book from around about that time, and I learned that most nations in the scandinavia, each person had their own personal patterned shields.

    (Like the different knight shields basically)

    I hope that helped?

    something funny about the Sami's when Sami's came to Norway they all had black hair and a round face

    if you look at a Sami family now so have bar 2 of 10 black hair and no one has so runt face longer

    it means that we Norwegian's, have made them a lot more Norwegian then Sami

    sorry bad eng

    Yes, I also noted this the first time I saw the preview. They're definitely wrong. This looks like Norse vowels with the length mark above them just disappeared due to encoding. Even in this case though the names look unusual. Have you found them in an accurate source?

    And by the way, are you going to use singular or plural forms of Norse unit names? Right now they're pretty mixed. E.g. atgeirmenn is plural, while vikingr is singular (more than that, it's víkingr, with an ´ above the vowel).

    But compared to these details, the overall quality is SUPERB!

    PS - any plans on including Slavic units? Mercs probably. They did sometimes take part in Viking raids, not as an organized force of course. But still as you don't aim at 100% accuracy and include what is historically probable - those guys would be probable.

    So... Sami and Nordic people mixed, what relevance does it have to what we were discussing here?

    Danova, first of all: a BIG thumb up for the work you invest in this project!!!
    As so many others i cant wait to play this incredible good looking mod which takes place in an era which i would have loved to play for such a long time now.

    here are my questions:
    1. is it in any way conceivable what date this mod will be released?
    2. did you integrate other (important) mods like ultimate-a-i, realcombat/-arrow, etc.?

    thank you very much Danova.
    Your work is very appreciated!

    1). The mod is proceeding, just slowly at the moment. Most of what we've planned is integrated, we simply have text and minor graphic work to be worked on.

    2a). We are using a modified version of XAI.

    2b).Our mod using its own combat balancing system invented by myself, it uses some similar concepts as realcombat and the combat system in EB, but is different from both. You will see that combat tends to be slower, but also allows a commander to have more use of tactics. Combat in this age was often about breaking an enmy's spirit, and thus you will see that the best way to win is by trying to break the enemy army's morale in the most efficient way possible.

    And sorry for my mistake, i thought Danova is a one-man-show-modder.
    So, ... of course thumbs up for everyone of you who is investing time in providing us with joy!

    I have to say, I've been lurking on these forums for quite a while now, but I can't sit around not praising this mod any longer.

    I have been waiting for so long for a Viking era campaign focusing on the British Isles and Scandinavia, and frankly, this mod looks perfect. The graphics and units are beautiful, and despite the claims that this mod is not focused on providing historical accuracy first, I think the historical accuracy is still probably a step above the average mod. Plus, in an age and setting so steeped in lore and myth, I think that adding a bit of creativity into the mix in this situation actually makes the mod feel more realistic, if that makes any sense whatsoever... In that some of the more mythic elements come out due to the creativity mixed with the history.

    This preview, and all the previews, look beautiful, and I thank danova and the rest of the team for all of the hard work they have put in. Keep up the great work!

    I moved all the posts about the climatic theme of Hordaland.
    You found here. (How cold were the winters in the 870s in Hordaland?)
    This part of the mod is closed (units, descriptions, map, etc), please post your VERY IMPORTANT suggestions in to this (Proposals for the Next Version) thread.

    Thanks daNova
