Vinland Fantasy Scenario

[Languish]

Sounds good, but what I proposed (and if no one disagrees with me on this), was that the character I had in the stories be changed from Einarr to a new line of monarchs called the "heretic wing" This way, there'd be the Merchant wing, and military wing as there is now, but that there'd also be an option for the heretic wing, which would be the C choice, as it is least likely.

Einarr should stay where he is in the military wing, and the story about him should be altered for an as yet unnamed character. I would create this new heretic wing myself, but I am not good with the names... Perhaps Havard could create them?

Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you come up with Languish.

I dont mind if the name changes, the events of course will then only need a cosmetic change. I have deleted my old events and reposted my whole new set of events up to c. 1461. My latest work also includes some additional/altered monarchs.

Edit: Einarr now sports a new line, and represents one of three possible early branches for the micmac. His perhaps is the most radical (and dependant on vinland) as he will hopefully change their tech group and at least boost their survivability against vinland/european aggressors.

Is that database error still there?
I'm feeling thirsty so I thought I'd fix it, but I want to know whether it has been fixed already or not

Languish, I was looking at the events in the event thread when you update again could you change the LEN tag to DEL so they work in the game? You probably already did but just in case

also, did you decide what to call the leader of vinland?

 

[Styrbiorn]

Ok. I won't promise anything, but I've fixed _numerous_ db errors with the AoN.


Anyway, I installed the beta and I got the db error message so I probably linked it correctly, but yet I can't choose the Vinland scenario... I've never used the moddir earlier, so can you tell me what's the problem here?

I thought the tag was LEN, for Lenape... am i wrong??? If so sure, and thanks for telling me.

As for the leader of vinland... dunno thats up to krunchy boy and Harvard.

There is some missing info

You must move the scenario file (Vinland.eug) to the EU scenario folder...

Lenape was called Delaware in early beta, until it was changed to Lenape because that was a more "correct" name (I guess). There are bucketloads of country tags that are not making sense; OHI=Iroquis, APA=Navaho, SUD=Nubia, STE=Golden Horde to name a few...

About the leader? I suggest we use "King"... It's easiest

Oh well ill go change it. Thanks for letting me know!

@ Harvard - please include these new avents (check id's) in the next beta.

Edit: Only two changes to make...

The DB error is located in the country.csv file. Open the file and locate the line:

U11;DarkBrown;LightOrange;latin;OHI;IND;MIN;OHI;5;5;5;5;5;5;5;5;0;X

Replace it with:

U11;DarkBrown;LightOrange;latin;OHI;OHI;MIN;OHI;5;5;5;5;5;5;5;5;0;X

There are no "IND" army sprite...

one thing, why is there a relations drop with Norway if you convert from Asa to Pagan and back... why would christians give a flying snark if you convert from one pagan religion to another? There should only be a plus for converting to and minus for converting from Christianity.

Flying snark...

But i do concur, that does make alot more sense.

there should be fewer events destroying relations with Norway, relations are going to be bad as it is, them being Pagan and all, if anything there should be events raising relations, so wars between them don't happen constantly.

You are probably right, when I put that in I figured that Norway would dislike Vinland for it's Asa beliefs, but that it would still have a warm place in it's heart because those used to be Norway's beliefs as well... whereas, a Skraeling religion would be completely alien to them.

Remember, Norway has alot of the ideas and traditions from Asa still embedded into their everyday life. So there may be a slight bond between the two countries, which wouldn't be as great with Skraeling beliefs.

But I agree with you anyway, because the relations will decline on their own over time.

Does this end the DB error? If so, you just won yourself a free beer, courtesy of Havard.

It does end the DB error, but considering the nick-name he gave himself I doubt I'll ever see that beer

I just went looked over your events, they all seem fine but I have a comment on several of them. The last few all only have one option, Accepting Einarr as king is not optional, it just happens. It should probably have more options like, "don't accept the whiteman" or something like that...

And remember, Einarr is traveling with his Indian Shaman friend that he rescued in another event description I made.
So why not include him in this? Just say that it is the shaman who convinces the tribe of accepting him, he performs some kind of divination using the entrails of a bear or something... and shows how this boy is destined for greatness. then they can choose to accept him or not.

Those are the only comments/suggestions I have. Everything else seems fine to me.
