Awesome, thank you for posting your summary
Having seen that this mod will make it possible for Norse women to be "shield maidens": does this mean that it is also a part of EMF's remit to create cultural mechanics, or is this, by and large, only something for VIET immersion?
VIET Immersion is devolving at this point to mainly focus on cultural mechanics, so that will be our niche within HIP. EMF will, at least so ziji has told me, generally not focus on such things, though it is inevitable that something of its scope might lightly brush on it occasionally, but hopefully we will be able to figure out what belongs where in such situations.
Not to mention, I don't think anything could ever compete with VIET Immersion for cultural mechanics! Anything contrary to that is heresy and must be suppressed by my inquisition of baklava and mindless references! I will have absolute power! [evil laugh, etc. Etc. etc.]
