Actually can't belive this has not been bought up yet ?
Anyone thinking about making a mod based around the Bernard Cornwell novels about Uthred Ragnarson ? This might be quite an interesting if short campaign which is very Anglo / Norse centric. I might well be interested in working on some of the character stats etc but have no skills when it comes to map or hard code etc.
Thoughts anyone ? If this has already been bought up please point me in the right direction rather than needlesly flame. thanks.

Immense possibilities. Not read the Alfred books by Cornwell, but just go through the Wessex family tree, and its all in there.

Yeh tbh when looking at the demo I almost Nerd'ed out ( History teacher here ! ) to see Edgar & Margaret of Wessex rather than Atheling. Just the thought of bringing back the family of Wessex filled me with joy. That aside Alfred is obviously in CK2 , but obviously very very dead. So a return to his era would be fantastic.
Also anyone interested in an Anglo or Dane centric CK2 / CK1 / History would really enjoy the Cornwell books, real page turners and hard to put down !

A Dark ages Britain Mod would be something i'd be interested in.

A Dark ages Britain Mod would be something i'd be interested in.

But the only thing I am thinking is that Europe would have to be modded as well to fit with the era. I think that really is the hardest part. Easy to create Alfred as playable, but then the situation in Europe would also have to fit in too. Stunning game.

Yeh Europe would be quite hard to sort , hence the game would perhaps be more Anglo / Norse centric ?

Europe could obviously be modded but that would really take a long time.


Also a post Roman Empire / Dark ages mod would be really quite cool. Although a main problem would be the pope / religious confines offered by the game.
Is it even possible in the full game to play as a pagan without being seriously bent over by the Ai ?
Would having a majority of Pagan rulers change the game or would we see a tide of christianity ( like RL ) sweep Europe ?

All interesting thoughts..

That is a thought. The game seems Catholic bent in that regards. Perhaps a later date though? King Cnut? Edward the Confessor? But I am more concerned with Europe being modded to fit those times. Possibilities are large.

It is most definitely possible to play as a pagan in the game. I set the demo start date to 645, modded in Penda Pybbing as a duke with a few counties in the middle of england, and eventually formed England. Of course, I did have the advantage of every county being independent, but pagans have a nice bonus of the Warrior Cult building which gives about +500 troops in the province, takes 60 days and 10 gold to build, and is only buildable in pagan provinces.
In regards to whether having a majority pagan rulers would change a lot of stuff, pagans are specifically excluded from using the holy war casus belli, so that's certainly inhibitive to large-scale pagan expansion. Currently I'm doing more experimenting into the matter.

Modding the characters and realms just requires a bit of graft. The tricky bit would be modding the game mechanics to be more appropriate; CKII's mechanics are very definitely designed with the high middle ages in mind.

That is a thought. The game seems Catholic bent in that regards. Perhaps a later date though? King Cnut? Edward the Confessor? But I am more concerned with Europe being modded to fit those times. Possibilities are large.

I'll be pushing the Start-date to 1030 in my Terra Normannorum mod (Battle of Stiklestad and Cnut's final acquisition of Norway), so he'd start half a decade before his historic death with his complete Empire. I'd love help filling out the rest of Europe when the time comes. I'll be porting my Vinland mod to it as well, but if people are split on including that territory I'd be fine with having a side-project without the New World provinces as well. :)
