    In what way doesn't it work? I don't have a copy of unit_prod to look at right now, so I'm guessing that you've copied the "Priest" entry, and renamed it to Druid. Have you made the appropriate tool-tips -- or have you tried running the mod with tooltips turned off? What other items did you edit? Did you remember all the appropriate bifs, camp map icon etc? I know agents can be right little 's to mod, lots of nested directories that require a bif/buf in the appropriate places.

    Do you use Gnome, or are you editing in Notepad?

    (I'm just working on the theory that if I ask you to explain the problem, you'll suddenly click on the solution )

    It's an error with the actual text there. Comes up with some bollocks about how the entry is wrong. Although it could be that there are no portraits for it.

    Many agents in VI don't have portraits so I don't think that would be the problem. It's very annoying and I don't even attempt to query agents in VI anymore.

    Just a heads up. This project is on temporary hiatus. So instead of being a lazy sob when I get the time I will resume modding.

    Hi Rythmic. Is this still on hiatus? Easily the best looking Viking period Mod I have seen, so I'm kind of hoping might come back to life at some point - or even be released to others to finish. Any major problems with it, or just lack of time?

    Love the work your doing here Rythmic. I've tried almost the same thing, and have failed dismally (I know, not really encouraging am I?). I love the way the project is heading, but of course me and my have to get in the way.

    1) The splitting of the Norse into two factions looks good, but the problem lies in the fact that the other "norse" faction wouldn't be able to convert to christianity. This may be okay, but could make the game a bit ahistorical.

    2) Make the Franks active! Yea, yea I know it could cause some serious problems (The Franks conquering England pre-1066), but it would reflect that the Vikings had more targets then just those on the English Isles. The other major problem is either a Saxon, Celtic, or Norse faction conquering "Frankland". I have no clear Idea how to balance this at the time, but I am positive that I could come up with a way...I think.

    Personally, I think adding the Franks would probably be a bad idea, particularly in terms of game balance. They would be overpowered if represented correctly, and probably not much fun if they weren't. That, and the simple fact that they really didn't have have much of a direct impact on events in Britain at the time.

    Thats true, but the Vikings are unable to take Normandy ? Why was Frankland never included, even though it is on the map, but it too was also ravaged by the Vikings? Still though, I believe the game would require you to now conquerer Frankland to win, which way to ahistorical even for fantasy gamers. If it requires this to win the game, then it is unfeasible, but if is like the Viking provinces, then it could be.

    Simply put, there is only a small part of Friesland on the VI map. This is not enough to include the Frankish Kingdom that would have occupied a much larger area.

    Thats weird. I thought it was Flanders and northern Normandy, not Friesland. According to the topography (probably using the wrong term here) of the map, it bears striking resemblance to Flanders.

    You're right and it is, I was mistaken with regard to the name. The main issue though is that it is simply not enough of Charlemagne's the Kingdom of the Franks to provide a realistic economic base for a Frankish faction. Also as Martok has said, even if the Franks did have enough territory (an extended map) they would be vastly overpowered.

    I see your point, and I agree. I suggested it because it felt a bit ludicrous that the Vikings couldn't invade Frankland like they did during the 800's . On a side note, how's the development of this game going? If it's stable, I'm a ready and willing Guinea pig .

    Raise the rebellion risk as high as you can make it go and don't give them any ships. That way you can raid but if you try to stay you'll be deluged by Frankish "reinforcements".

    Another factor is that the province doesn't exist. you may be familiar with the disabled province of Sahara on the main European map. This province differs in that it is an actual province that is in isolation, and can be linked back up, given castle and port coordinates and re enabled. The bits of Europe visible on the VI map are not provinces at all and never were. They are strictly cosmetic. Adding the province would involve a lot more work that enabling the Sahara.

    I'm not sure when Rythmic intends to resume work on this mod.

    Good idea. If it was added it could be feasible as an area that only the Vikings could reach, as with their own land. It would still involve the massive amount of work creating another lukupmap however.

    Be my guest, it would be an honour.

    In reference to Frankland, the best option for that would be to make it rebel.

    Send me the info Rythmic, with intructions, and I can work on it. I've got lots of free time, and would love to work on this mod . To many times have I read about mods dying out for the exact same reason . I would willing carry the burden to see this mod complete. In fact, it is my belief that this mod needs to be completed, if only because its the only Viking campaign mod. The only thing I wouldn't be able to do is the campaign map editing, as I am horrible with LMM . Anything else I can easily do, with a little bit of guidance of course.

    If so I'll gather the bits into a meaningful structure, and transfer them to you. Don't worry about the map, I can make it (well make it work) this weekend possibly or Friday; but no promises.
