Storey: I've thought about picking an appropriate setting and writing up the adventures of Olaf and Aud as a novel. :D

General: It's based on 2.3 beta, which seems to have a minor bug or two in it, none of which are truly big deals. How big a deal is it to see two slots for Byzantium in the selection screen? The FTP account would be great!

Morgan Llwellyn's books are great for that kind of thing if you like Celtic History/Mythology. Bard, Druid, Red Branch, and The Horse Goddess by Llwellyn are especially good.

Also check out Stephen Lawhead. His Pendragon Cycle is a good mix of Arthurian legend and Celto-Roman Britain in the Dark Ages. His Song of Albion Trilogy is another good Celtic Mythology novel.

Can you tell I'm a Celto-phile? Actually I love Nordic mythology just as well. I think the whole concept of Ragnarok is great! You know the whole "God's versus giants, and even though we already know the gods lose in the end we're still on their side because they're the good guys." I'm not very familiar with Nordic mythology/history adaptations though. Tolkein of course does the best job of doing fantasy stories with a Nordic feel.

Good work with the story. What's going to be your goal after you reclaim the old Byzantine territories? Perhaps you should restore the entire Roman Empire!
