Suggestion - Add Skrælings to new DLC

[Olaus Petrus]

I'm not saying if Paradox should or shouldn't make an expansion about the Native Americans, but since they are doing one I suggest that they should add Greenland and Vinland into the game, so we could also play the historical encounters between the Norsemen and Native Americans. I have always wished that I could play as Greenland in CK.

 

[Calantyr]

I'd love a DLC with Viking/Native American hordes invading from Vinland.

 

[Galaahd]

Now, that would be cool. I doubt it will happen though.

I think one of the redeeming qualities of this dlc is that it was quickly thrown togheter without affecting much of the development of the core game. If they went and changed the map, it'd just increase development time for this, specially since you'd then need to have the aztec invasion on to get the new territories.

Now if they add it for the 1.08 patch, that'd a whole another story.

Oh yes, I would defiantly support a "Vinland Scenario".

I've always been pro-Greenland. Sure, it was the backwater of all backwaters, but it was still a European holding during the time period. Perhaps it could even have events tied to it that could ultimately lead to its historical collapse... with a talented player given the opportunity to keep Greenland alive past its historic expiration date.

I hate the idea of people coming from off-map. Just make the map huge and add real population so that we can actually have massive migration waves and real invasions, instead of just spawning invasion events.

The game is already very bloated with characters without needing to simulate another continent.

But on topic; Leif Ericson discovered Vinland and even founded the Norse colony in Greenland in 986. Modern radiocarbon-analysis shows that the colony died out at around 1430, so for the period of the game a Norwegian Catholic colony existed up there, with a casual relationship regarding visiting Vinland (Modern Newfoundland).

Someone should make a mod of this

Naturally adding it into a patch would be even better, but I hope that even without map expansion, they could at least add events where Icelanders and Norwegians have contacts with the natives of Greenland and Vinland. There could be events like "Send expedition to colonize and convert the unknown lands of Ultima Thule", "Missionary who went to Greenland/Vinland has returned and reported that there was no sign of our colonists." or "Our expedition encountered weird looking pagans. We tried to trade with them." etc.

 

[Stormguardian]

yes sure....maybe...what if the civilization from atlantis will arrive with space ships.
Come on let be seriosly...this DLC is for another game.
The spirit of crusader kings is medieval strategy...and the what if scenarios should be focused on realistic premises, this DLC will make the game medieval sci-fi game.
And we should congratulate Paradox, i think this DLC is the first medieval scince fiction game ver created.
Congratulations Paradox

I noticed this from DLC description:

It is a fantasy scenario where the blood drenched Aztec Civilization arose early and spread like a virulent plague, learning of Europe from exploring Northmen. Prepare to defend all you hold dear against the Sunset Invasion!

If Northmen are the cause of Aztec invasion, then my request that they get exploration events is reasonable.

Suggestion - Add Skrælings to new DLC

yeah. +1. also add Maya, Cherokee, Apachi, Inkas & Pueblo too.
It's mainly coz the mongols are Golden Horde, Ilkhanate & Timurids (for not breaking the game, you know...)

 

[Mr. Capiatlist]

Actually on a [slightly] more serious note, I'd love for a Norse DLC to include a small amount of the New World: Greenland, Newfoundland and Labrador... maybe a small sliver of Quebec. I think it would be a bunch of fun to try to make Vinland work: a new home for the brave Norse to flee to when the Christians come a-knocking.

 

[Antiscamp]

Vinland and Greenland actually sounds like a far better DLC than the Aztec invasion one. It's something I'd even might consider.

 

[WankoStankins]

Vinland is infinitely cooler and more realistic than Aztec invasion.

 

[Nuril]

Beat them to it with Terra Normannorum, actually.

(Note: The bug with the Aprutium-province are displacing the flag-order.)
