Local historic names of settlements and regions

[Innocentius]

Thanks guys for the major update of the HRE and Scandinavian names

The game starts 1080, but I figure going all the way back to 1050 was justified as names that came into being later (say 1070) may not have been that oft used if that makes any sense - people would still use the older name at times possibly. That of course I cannot back up historically but that is what I was thinking when I said it

That said, settlement sizes go all the way down to Village (400 inhabitants), so that's how some of the settlements will be starting out as. But of course if you have a better suggestion for places that were of greater importance in the vincinity of a lesser settlement (historically speaking during that period as opposed to now), I would be very willing to include that instead.

So I am open to suggestions about settlements to take Warberg and Uppsala's places for instance if you will provide them.

Ah! I somehow managed to forget about Lödöse, on Göta älv in Bohuslän (western Sweden/Swedish west coast), a must to include as this was probably the most important town in Skagerak at the time. Along Skara, it was the major locality in Västra Götaland at the time and up until the 14th century.

I'd actually cut Halland as a province since it was included in Skåneland and of no particular importance when compared to the more fertile lands in Skåne, and make Lund the common provincial town for Halland, Skåne and Blekinge. If you still need a town on the Swedish west coast, use Lödöse (Västra Götaland could be divided into two separate provinces, one more coastal and another, much larger, comprising the inlands). To replace Uppsala, I'd suggest Sigtuna, although I would add Stockholm for both gameplay as well as historical purposes (several other towns included in the game were certainly villages or even non-existant by 1080). Of course, that might make that part of the map too cramped, and nothing gives Sigtuna couldn't have grown to have become much larger than it did.
