Heyas. This is a new mod that I'm working on. So far, I've only got part of the campaign map done, but it's my intention to get the entire scandinavian area in there, as well as the baltics. Also, this will be a rather small mod. Don't expect fancy new models (because I'm not a modeler!) and don't expect any new, totally cool innovations. This will just be a small mod where you can play as one of 9 (or more) factions, and duke it out in the scandinavian countries.

Here's the list of factions so far:

The Danes
The Goths
The Sveas
The Norwiegans
The Rus
The Tasvetians
The Kvens
The Carelians
The Novgorodians/Republic of Novgorod

As for the armies, this is how it's going to be done:

So far, there's three "groups" of units. The vikings, the finns and the christians.

The viking (Danes, Goths, Sveas, Norwiegans and Rus) unit rooster will consist off:

Thralls (Think "peasants")
Spearmen
Swordsmen
Axemen
Armoured Spearmen
Elite Swordsman/Axemen (depends on faction)
Huscarl (Best unit in the game)
Berserker
Archer
"Elite" Archer (Not the best archer in the game, but is better than regular archers and can fight in close combat)
Light Cavalry

The vikings have the best units in the game, and also the largest unit rooster. Their close combat units will be unmatched by any others. However, they lack heavy cavalry.

Here's the finnic rooster (Kvens, Tasvetians and Carelians):
Peasant
Spearmen
Axemen
Elite Axemen (Two handed)
Finnic Noble (Like huscarl. A kick ass infantry unit)
Archer
Elite Archer (Better than viking archers, but are poor in close combat)
Tracker (Kvens only. The best archer in the game. Can also hide anywhere)
Light Cavalry

Haven't figured out what the carelians or tasvetians will have for unique units yet.

The Christians (So far, only Novgorod):
Peasant
Spearmen
Carelian Mercenaries (axemen)
Armoured Swordsman
Light Cavalry
Nobles Heavy Cavalry (Only heavy cavalry unit in the game)
Archers
Slavic Skirmishers

There'll probably be one or two baltic factions as well. I'm not sure wether to give them finnic units, or something else. As you can see, however, there's only one single heavy cavalry unit in the game and only one faction has it. This means that it will be very infantry orientated.

Since I'm not a modeller, it means that I'm going to have to use the original, fantasyish barbarian models. I don't want too, but I can't see any other way out. This means there'll probably be a few barebreasted vikings running around, unfortunetly... I can do skins, tho.

What do you guys think? Any ideas? Anything that needs to be changed?
