Is there any potential that skalds could affect the liege prestige? Because in the viking age skalds used to creat great poems about how great their liege is, or create a bad image of them.
Well, there's no special Norse 'skald' to my knowledge, but I suppose it's very similar to some Vanilla events. I'm not convinced it would add very much to make a unique event for this - also since I'm no expert when it comes to modding regular events.
Rorik and his brother Harald of Frisa should have a claim on Danmark (Jylland and Slesvig), since he is probably of Harald Klaks family. Harald Klak and and his brothers (one of them probably father of Rorik and Harald) where able to usurp Slesvig-Jylland after the death of Konung Gudrød. Thou could not last when the sons of Gudrød led by Horik returned.
I suppose so, it's all very shady, and I haven't touched these characters much (except for separating Strút-Haraldr and his sons from the house of Hilditönn, since that connection is unlikely). I might give this whole business a slight overhaul at some point, but it's not a priority currently.
Love it. I hope it would soon be directly integrated in HIP.
Yeah, this is a historical submod, and it doesn't make anything worse, so there is no reason for it not to be in the mod.
I don't get the feeling that the HIP team wants to directly integrate features from my mod. They have made some similar changes (such as the addition of the "Englisc" culture), but that's as far as it gets currently. I suppose it would be an arduous task for them to integrate some features from my mod since many of my changes are hidden in the vastness of text-files, and they have no means to know where to look. Some parts, especially some later additions like the Icelandic Republic are pretty well separated, and could easily be extracted (only a few minor changes to already existing characters). On the other hand, I haven't received very much good will from the team due to, I assume, some disagreements about the direction of the mod and CK2. I can only assume that, if indeed they want to head in the direction I've laid out here, they want to do so on their own, and in their own time - even though I would be quite willing to help make these things take shape.
PS. Progress is currently at a halt. I have made some changes a while ago, but not enough to warrant a new version, and I want the next release to be worthy of a 1.0. I'll resume eventually.
