    The Gardariki (old WotN-units and a few new ones from EoR) - EoR-assets used with permission from Darius.

    I did the following description for the Gardariki:

    "The Gardariki/Rus has been finished, and they are using mostly old slavic roster units, but also three to four new slavic roster units shared with Polanie, and the old Norse units shared with the Vikings. The difference between the Gardariki and the Norse/Polanie/Velka Moravia is that they only have basic and medium troops that they share with these factions. I've added the unit "Vikingar" to the Gardariki too.

    Then what about elites you wonder? Well, they have their unique RUS elite units, the Vitjazi, the Varjagi and the Rus' Horsemen.

    And i've also replaced the Hirdmenn with a new Druzhina bodyguard. It's not the same as the Polanie as it has a different look- but it shares picture-cards.

    So the Gardariki is a blend of Norse and slavic units- but with their own elites.

    I won't change anything for the Baltic and Finnish factions- they may get one or two new units from TLK though.

    Now i am gonna move my focus to the british irelands and the Last Kingdom."

    Actually not so much since september, as most of what i posted was from the work done in august-sep, but i have been trying to get the mod working after Virtual Store problems - and have finally managed to get around the problem caused by a win 10 update.

    Anyway, i have re-modified my version released in the developers forum back in aug 23. It now has Horsas UI-work as well as some improvements. I've added "best unit"-pictures to every faction -but some will need new better quality-ones. I've also added all unit/unit_info-pictures to the slave-faction as they were in many cases unlocalized placement-pics. And i have removed faulthy entries in the descr_strat in wich generals (not family members) had traits. I don't think non-family members can have traits. At least not if they aren't family members in the descr_strat.

    Now i will need to add some text manually as i didn't like all the name-changes by Horsa. And add missing descriptions perhaps. I also need to add six missing Roman units (it's the Ploumbatoi and the Illyriatoi (i think that's the spelling) with different textures on their shields. And then i missed out on one, possibly two cavalry-units - as they were in the campaign but not in custom battles in EoR.

    If the game works past the year 887 to 888 CTD i will be pleased, and if not -i'll need to try and fix this game breaking bug then. In any case, i'd need to change years to turn numbers.. It's more easy to keep track of how many turns in the crash occurs then. As it isn't one year each turn.

    Vikings of Svitjod faction description:

    The Swedish tribe of Svitjod.

    Leader: Bjorn Ironside

    As the years have passed people in scandinavia have improved their farming, smiths and boats. Improved farming has pushed the population to a point where the youngest sons in a family need either to cultivate more land, by cutting down the forests to clear fields, or take the easier route and sail out to trade, explore and pillage foreign lands.

    The great Swedish viking Jarl and Konungr Ragnar Lothbrokk, who took the crown of the Danes by force and then managed to sail west and raid England for the first time in history by any viking Jarl, is now dead - thrown into a pit of snakes by the King of Northumbria King Aella. As a result all of Ragnars sons invaded the shores of England, and they managed to conquer the Kingdom of East Anglia as well as take revenge on Northumbria and it's King Aella.

    The conquered territories as well as mainland Denmark was divided between the sons of Ragnar and those close to them. Ivar the Boneless got the isles in the Irish sea and some regions in Ireland wich he conquered, Sigurd Snake in the Eye got Denmark itself, Guthrum leads the Great Heathen Army located in previosly what was known as the Kingdom of East Anglia - and he also is in control of most of the Northumbrian lands, Halfdan as well as some other sons are with Guthrum in charge of that great army -calling their territory the Danelaw - swedish Danelagen - and back in Sigtunir and in charge of the Swedish territories such as old Upsalir a new King now sits - the Son of Ragnar Lothbrokk Bjorn Ironside!

    Bjorn Ironside, A powerful Viking chieftain and naval commander who has survived countless battles and was about to go raiding both in Frankia, the British Isles and in the Mediterranean Sea as far away as the lands of Italy and those of the Saracens, he is now in control of what was once the original tribe of Ragnar Lothbrokk, Svitjod - or the swedish Northmen and vikings - as one can also call them, are his people - and it would seem he has many choices to make. Will he chose to recounquer Denmark from his brother Sigurd? Will he instead focus on the smaller tribe of Gautland conquering the Geats? Will he move his forces north to Sami and Tavastian lands, east to Slavic lands or west to saxons and Franks? It's not certain which route Bjorn will choose - but one thing is certain and that is the fact that there are many possibilities for the vikings of Switjod to raid!

    The lands of the Geats lay right for the taking in the immediate south, as the Geats are weak and frail, the lands of the Finns and the Sami people lay across the Baltic sea or far up North - it is also a possibility, as the tribes of Häme and Kvänland ain't heavily armored and have very few mounted forces, in the east there are slavic warriors fighting amongst each other - and not to forget the Rus of Gardariki are in fact led by ex-Svitjod viking raiders and chieftains, so it may be possible to get an alliance with the RUS should Bjorn go East, on mainland Scandinavia it is not only the immedieate threat of Gautrekr and the Gautlandi tribe, or that of Bjorns brother Sigurd and the Danes, wich Bjorn will have to deal with - the great Norwegian viking tribes have united into an almost united Norway -under their great King Harald Fairhair, and Bjorn and the Svitjod-tribe will need to face this threat sooner or later - the Franks and the Saxons will be much harder to deal with in terms of equipment and soldiers - but may well have more loot in store for them should they raid their lands, and Bjorn Ironside must choose his wars very wisely.

    Svitjod later became Sweden in the years after the Viking Age had ended, as Swedens population was the latest in Scandinavia to lay down their axes - and it happened mostly because of the Danes and Denmark getting help from the East Francs, or as they were later known - The Holy Roman Empire - after they had converted to the christian faith. It was an uphill battle for the Vikings still left in Svitjod, or Sweden as it was later called -that they lost in the end.

As a result all of Ragnars sons invaded the shores of England, and they managed to conquer the Kingdom of East Anglia as well as take revenge on Northumbria and it's King Aella. \n\nThe conquered territories as well as mainland Denmark was divided between the sons of Ragnar and those close to them.

    Default Re: Wrath of the Norsemen: 2016 New Release [INFO & ANNOUNCEMENT]

    Just some updates:

    I have fixed the following things:

    1.
    A buggy radar-map thanks to Gigantus - the whole radar-map wasn't showing.

    2. The whole expanded.txt-file - now every faction has it's correct name shown in all instances in the game. I also fixed texts regarding the factions weaknesses, strengths and such.

    3. Re-added my previous work - this included a faction description, all new elite unit-pictures in the faction description-page, fixes in the desr_strat regarding traits given to generals and other minor things.

    4. Playtested the mod and i did get past the CTD.

    WINO has done the following:

    1.
    Fixed some errors (i don't know exactly how many) in the vnvs, traits and ancillaries-file.

    2. Removed anti-traits i think.

    3. Pointed out over 30 errors in the names-file, and some more errors in the ancillaries-file that will need to be fixed.

    I am going to fix these errors next.

    Playtesting it seems to be pretty stable. But i still have alot to do like for example:

    1. Changing settlement creators as the wrong factions revolt in the wrong places.

    2. Adding unique rebels in many places, and removing all the viking and slav-rebels from non-viking and non-slav territory.

    3. Fixing silver surfer sami spearmen, and some silver surfer captains/generals.

    4. Adding all the scripts of Ulfhednin - and manually inserting entries for the new factions.

    5. Expanding on the mercs, as they currently are only the old ones.

    6. Replacing the Kvänland bodyguard - as it is a Northumbrian unit still..

    7. Add the rest of the units to the EDB - i did add over half of the faction rosters to the EDB in september, and this was after i last had any contact with Horsa, so he doesn't have a version with this EDB-file. However, he was the one asking me to finish that file but work was delayed in the middle of september due to lost connections and studies interfeing.

    8. Rename alot of regions as many regions are named wrongly in the wrong places.

    9. Add diplomatic relations, unique agents (every diplomat, princess and merchant look the same currently) and maybe regional recruitment and balance.

    After all that is done then we are closing in on the release.
