[Xelathur]

Ok, new version up now 7/3/2015:

DOWNLOAD (MOD DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY ATM - DOWNLOAD IF YOU WANT TO OPEN IT WITH PFM AND TEST): https://mega.co.nz/#!KkZwxRRB!X1S8bA...yMV0Ipn5lp0TI0

Norse factions get:
Immune to seasickness
Immune to sea attrition
Immune to snow attrition
Income from units destroyed
Scourge of God: -10 Morale to enemy christian faction units in battle

Jutes:
Income from settlement damage

Danes:
Ships are better

Geats:
+20% campaign movement range

Mod does not work - the bonuses won't apply in the actual campaign map. ( seasickness, etc )

Hey,

I just made a mod to give the faction-specific traits ( jutes,geats,danes ) to all the viking factions.

( the immune to sea-sickness, immune to cold etc )

There's nothing else to it... Now go forth and pillage!

Great work man! This will improve my playing experience immensely.

Hi Gents,

I'm going to upload an alternative version of this mod, it's a bit more tidy and some new features.
The traits have been changed.

Norse:
Immune to seasickness
Immune to sea attrition
Immune to snow attrition
Income from destroyed units
Christian factions have -10 morale when battling against Vikings, similar to the Huns "scourge of god"

Jutes:
Bonus for settlement damage ( Saxon )

Danes:
Experience for ship recruits ( +1 XP )

Geats:
Trade tariff bonus ( 20% )
Campaign movement range ( +20% )

Feedback on this?

Any "negative" stats I could give to make it less OP? ( Already removed the +10 morale snow, +200% bonus from razing )

[m-m-n]

when should we expect the alternate version? And thank you for your hard work and time.

[Efix]

Seems legit not too op but I'm not sure about the moral penalty for the Christian.

[Xelathur]

New version up - but untested. Let me know if something doesn't work - it should be listed when you hover over the traits in a new campaign! ( Will test this later tonight and fix if broken )

[Drakhjerta]

Would be great if you could do a version where they don't get a morale penalty when fighting against christian factions

[Drakhjerta]

Nevermind my last post. I misunderstood what was written.

[Xelathur]

Yeah, sorry. I wrote that really bad anyway. Will update and make it more clear!

[chemboya]

Great Idea. You shoulda add dragonships, huscarls and thrall units to all the norse factions as well.

[Xelathur]

Mod fixed. Also added Huscarls and Dragonships for all viking factions.

YES, please make it work! PLEASE - Love to play the geats. Hate to see them getting seesick ;-)

No matter what "special" traits I give, they keep getting seasick, attrition.
If I give their units melee damage it works, but I can't see why the "faction specific" traits doesn't.

I'll spend a day soon and see if I can get this working again soon - in the meantime - I will remove the download link.

Funny, my Jutes atm doesn't get any snow attrition, neither high seas one, tho they do get seasickness.

I've been trying to get this to work in my own faction traits mod. Winter attrition seems to work, you just need to set the effect_scope to faction_to_force_own or faction_to_force_own_unseen.

Seasickness is a different story. It looks like it's actually governed not by the effect_bundles_to_effects_junctions table at all, but by the special_ability_to_invalid_usage_flags and special_ability_to_auto_deactivate_flags tables. To add a flag to those tables, you have to add an entry to special_ability_invalid_usage_flags, but I can't find a place to define that entry...

I've tried solving this by deleting the seasickness entries in land_units_to_unit_abilities_junctions, but I don't think that worked.
