    Cecil thanks so much! You are absolutely right. I had thought mainland Europe was bigger, but I was mistaken. Certainly taking on the Normans and WFE is no easy task but it does not equal gobbling up half of England and Ireland. I had also forgotten about Iceland which should also count for VCs.

    We also have to take a look at the other VCs. For example, wining solo requires you to be the last human standing. Which means your team mate (or team mates) have to go as well, but you can't really wage internal war within your own faction, so you will need some maneuvering to get the enemy factions to kill off your allies and then you get to kill them off.

    Getting 7 provinces is easy and can happen rather quickly if the AI gets beaten badly by the Vikings faction and a player luckily passes by to get the settlements. I think "King of Kings" should require 25 provinces total (home turf not included). It's a solo victory that ignores whatever might be happening otherwise on the map (army size of your enemy, the condition of your allies and so on) so it should be hard to achieve, else everyone will try to grab 7 provinces and be done with it.
    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

    All the modifications sound good to me. As to faction, I think i'll go for Vestfold. Those archers are pretty nasty, and they feel more unique to me compared to the other two faction specific viking units.

    Count me in.

    This really sonds like a good idea. I only hope that I can install the required mod without all the trouble I had to get StainlessSteel to work.

    People all seem to be choosing Scandinavian factions at the moment - just to clarify, we can pick ANY faction, correct? :P

    Nope, read the first post. Only Scandinavian factions, the players on each faction are loosely labelled as allies but each band of Vikings is independent of the others.
