    No they didn't. Norwegians did, mostly, and the colonization period ended before the start of this game (it ended in 930). It remained independent until the thirteenth century, when it came under Norwegian rule. Only with the Kalmar Union did Iceland fall under the Danish crown.

    And, anyway, Iceland as a country wasn't terribly important during the Middle Ages. There was a small civil war here, just before it became part of the kingdom of Norway, but I don't think any king raised a whole unit here to fight in a war on the continent. Some wool and fish was exported, but that's about it, as far as I know.

    Anyway, what should the settlement in Iceland be called? There were no villages, towns or cities here at this time, only farms.

    Of course, that being said, I would personally love to be able to play an Icelandic faction and go on to conquer at least Norway and Denmark
