There is a way to get the Viking homelands, but it is a bit cheesy. While you cannot send armies overseas, you can send agents. By sending an emissary or bishop, you can bribe the Viking garrison and take their lands that way.
Thank you, it is the viking campaign. I have conquered everything that isn't out of reach, I kept going when I reached 2/3. But the game doesn't end. I'd like find out what the game does when you win.Quote:

New question, is it good to marry foriegn princesses? What are the consequences?
It's usually beneficial to marry ASAP. Besides gaining an alliance with the princess' father, your king/heir will now be able to produce heirs. That's more important than you may think, as it usually takes a while before they marry of their own volition, and even longer before they start procreating. It's not unknown (though not common) to lose the game because your line died out due to lack of mature heirs.Quote:
