Since I have Excalibur, no other events have fired up for the quest of restoring the old gods. I don't know if your little hotfix was the cause though (I implemented it right after finding excalibur). Is it normal that no event fired up after 4 years?

I thought you had finished the Old Gods quest already. I did some changes to the quest events but none of them should be contained in the files I sent you. Actually the hotfix should have effects only when you die.
Type 'charinfo 1' in the console and check your character's flags. You should have a flag called 'searching_for_the_treasures' and one flag for each item you already found (found_treasure_1, ecc.).
Copying this warning from the Game of Thrones mod thread: If you want to continue to be able to use mods and you use steam, make a full backup of your CKII directory NOW. The mod will be broken for an unknown period while modders figure out what needs to change.
putting it on not updating will just make Steam not update it while you leave it alone. It will still update it when you try to run the game from Steam. If you want to dodge that, run it from the directory
edit: ofcourse you won't have this problem if you bought it from GamersGate
Oh it doesnt update for me because I used the OPT-in beta for 1.90x versions. Oh and everyone can do this, I was just searching around and found out this nice little option.
Since the old gods is a huge add on to the game, are you planning to update the mod ? And if yes, how long do you think it will take (I suppose a long time no ?)

Not really a long time, a compatibility patch (or more precisely a new full version compatible with 1.10) will be released later today or this night. However, none of the Old Gods new pagan features will be implemented, yet. Only the 'basic' features of 1.10 will be in, like technology.
After that I will look into implementing all the new Old Gods features, like raiding, looting, concubines, etc.
The map expansion is also coming along faster than I expected. It will take long to make the 'expanded' version of the mod well balanced, so I might release an early version of the map expansion (maybe with some features yet missing, like multiple de jure shifting titles all over the new map area), just to get some early feedback about basic things like balance, titles and provinces (names, culture, etc.).
good to know ! I just have one more question, did you plan changing the succession law of the picts ? I am not sure but I think that the picts use to have a strong cognatic succession (like the basque in the actual ck2)

The Picts are already one of the few cultures allowed to use True Cognatic succession. I'm just not sure it would be appropriate to have them start with true cognatic. I am no expert on the Picts, here is what the (quick but not very reliable) Wikipedia says...
The Picts are often said to have practised matrilineal kingship succession on the basis of Irish legends and a statement in Bede's history. In fact, Bede merely says that the Picts used matrilineal kingship succession in exceptional cases.[32][33] The kings of the Picts when Bede was writing were Bridei and Nechtan, sons of Der Ilei, who indeed claimed the throne through their mother Der Ilei, daughter of an earlier Pictish king.[34]
In Ireland, kings were expected to come from among those who had a great-grandfather who had been king.[35] Kingly fathers were not frequently succeeded by their sons, not because the Picts practised matrilineal succession, but because they were usually followed by their own brothers or cousins, more likely to be experienced men with the authority and the support necessary to be king.[36]
The nature of kingship changed considerably during the centuries of Pictish history. While earlier kings had to be successful war leaders to maintain their authority, kingship became rather less personalised and more institutionalised during this time. Bureaucratic kingship was still far in the future when Pictland became Alba, but the support of the church, and the apparent ability of a small number of families to control the kingship for much of the period from the later 7th century onwards, provided a considerable degree of continuity.
This sounds more like seniority to me. Of course the sources about 5th-9th century all very... hazy.
P.S. I should be uploading the new 1.10 compatible version in a couple of hours (plus upload time).
I've just downloaded your mod, I'm a massive Bernard Cornwell fan and this just sounds awesome. One problem: when i launch the game it doesn't get past the "crossing the British Channel" phase, I know you're going to release a compatability patch for the Old Gods, is this something that will solve or have I done something else wrong?

Yes the current version is not working since yesterday after the 1.10 CKII patch was released. Hang tight and a compatible version should be up in about two hours.
As usual, remember that the mod must be placed in your documents folder (<your user documents>\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod), and NOT in the game main folder. Also make sure you delete any older versions of the mod (including "Britannia.mod") and the settings folder (usually it is <your user documents>\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\Britannia) before installing the latest release. In other words, please delete anything related to the mod before updating.
Here is the change log...

- General optimization to reduce CPU load
- General improvements to the map (terrain, borders, textures, etc.)

I should warn you that a few features are actually not working as intended anymore after 1.10. Religion authorities used to vary from as low as 5 to as high as 95 and now they are stuck around 20 all the time, all of them. This will have great effects on religion spreading, and they are still untested.
Also the general balance of the mod has changed due to the changes in retinue sizes, buildings, and so on. Anglo-Saxons are apparently having a much harder time conquering all of England now. Same thing for Franks in Europe. For example, in my last observe mode game, I've seen something happening for the absolute first time ever: the political boundaries in Gaul remained exactly the same (in their initial de jure setup) until 700 AD, with Franks and Soissons and Benoic and Broceliande all independent and well. I don't know why nor if this is going to be a good thing or not.
All feedback and suggestions are very welcome. The latest official patch has changed so much that the mod needs a lot of playtesting to make sure everything is running as it should.
AI armies are getting stuck in Cicucium, any army that steps foot in that province won't move until disbanded.
Great work on the mod by the way, this has overtaken CK2+ as my favourite mod, I am planning to play a mini mega-campaign and manually convert my game to CK2+ in 867.
