The other part is, obviously, that if you go looting, you're going to get money. So you have to make sure you have a lot of Prestige so you can counter-invade and things like this. But if I have a high enough Prestige, I can declare invasions for one of my pagan neighbors, in fact, summon Vikings, and basically kick them in. So, because these invasions are your biggest way of getting troops over land, I can be the poorest count in Norway. If you decide I'm going to call an invasion, and then you get your vikings turning up.if you then refuse to declare war, you've got, like, a two year window to do it, then you will get big penalties.Īnd Prestige is a key thing. The fact sheet mentions that it will actually generate unrest if you don't go to war as a pagan. ".Money is still power, even in the Viking Era." Which was their core settlement, so they would always be landed. I mean, we had to to actually create special settlements for the republican families, with the palace thing. So I don't think we can make landless characters playable. So, is this something that would maybe be moddable? In terms of making adventurers playable? So rebels will now rebel for a title claimant. Our goal is to try and tie them in with rebels. So just because you've kicked out the guy who claims your title-he doesn't have any land-doesn't mean he's not a threat. But our idea is, landless characters can be a danger to you. Basically, the adventurer system is not fully implemented yet. So the landless adventurers you mentioned aren't actually playable? So they'll definitely be ones to play around with. Not yet, but I think it's the grandsons or great-grandsons of Charlemagne in Central Europe. Have you thought about, beyond the Norse, which rulers you want to highlight in 867? So if you start in 867 you have a pack of, I think they're mainly Danes and Swedes now, parked in York. Because we started in 1066, you have a pack of Norwegians parked in York. At least one of them will be an Interesting Character. So you have Ivar the Boneless, Halfdan, Bjorn Ironside- and these were the sons of Lodbrok. Well, the reason we picked 867 is that there was a moment-it was called the Great Heathen Army. Have you guys figured out who the Interesting Characters are going to be for 867? If you decide you want a cruising mid-late game, you can always take over that invasion. So I think you can actually tag into them when the Sunset Invasion arrives if you want to. I'm not sure how random it is.ĭo the playable pagans include the Aztecs from Sunset Invasion? And then they will split up into the three. There's no Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians. So Scandinavia is now "Norse" culture at game start. So, the Norse will be the most fleshed-out. But we're going to look at each pagan in turn and say, what can we do to bring them out and make them interesting? "So, just because you've kicked out the guy who claims your title.doesn't mean he's not a threat." So we've kind of been talking about giving, like, the Baltic pagans maybe defensive bonuses or these kinds of things. So you can set yourself up for a big invasion of somewhere.Īnd then we're going to try to go through all the other pagans and see what we can do with them. So as a Norse pagan, you can now erect a runestone in your honor, we have these little things like that. At the moment, we've been focusing in on the Norse pagans.
