Cant remember and too lazy to check... whats Finland's diplomatic status? are they vassals of Denmark? Or of Sweden?

And for that matter, is Vinland in an alliance at the start of the game?

Is there a detailed breakdown of all the options in ICG? And possibly background on the historical sig? Esp for the fantasy options? Love the possibilities of ICG. I'm English, but would love to conquer europe as Free Eire. You can E-mail me with a link if you have it.
Thanks.
BTW This is my first post.

Most of the IGC options are pretty self-explanatory - creating 'free' nations that are not otherwise in the game at the beginning (but can surface in revolts anyways), moving COTs, changing control of certain territories (including the Netherlands region, Ingermanland and Bujak), and turning on/off massive unrest events in some of the large eastern european / asian nations. There's a couple ahistorical options such as Vinland and Byzantium. (Historically the Vinland colony failed, and Byzantium fell to the Turks before the game timeframe.)

I believe most of them are explained in a readme file that is included in the IGC download.

If you download it you'll get a little readme with all the details IIRC.Congratulations and welcome.If you are an alien in the USA like me you should hang out in OT more often , or at least try it on for size.

Yeah, I read the readme. But its really brief. I'm not looking for instructions, I just didn't know if one of the creators or one of the more experienced players with a history background had written something a little more detailed. I love having a COT in Anglia at the beginning... Got 3d? Piss someone off by competing for trade. Lovely. Love having the extra troops in ICG, but those freakin' Irish rebels are a pain. I would love to read a more detailed (I guess the keyword in my original post should have been detailed) of the options and differences instead of the readme and the upgrade list.

Have a good look around these forums.The readme does include a small list of credits/thankyous.You can look up all the threads that have ever been on this forum and in those threads you will find much of the 'fertiliser' for the various versions and evolution of the IGC.

Another good point from it is the ability to turn of rebellions. My poor Denmark-Norway faced such a revolution that three nations became independant straight away! (Holstein, Norway and Prussia) Unfortunatly that cannot be turned off!

As for Vinland, it doesn't start off in any alliances(though it normally joins Denmark or Sweden) My advice for players there to be isolated until anti-Spanish/French/English feelings are felt on the continent. Then attack.

As for Finnish revolts, never heard of it!
