Hello everyone! The Scandinavians, representing the Vikings and the later nordic kingdoms of Denmark-Norway and Sweden, made as a fully fleshed out aoe4 civilisation concept, that also exists in an older version as a fully playable mod! This concept is the 4th version on one of my civilisation concepts that I have worked on and perfected for over one and a half years. It captures the feeling of being real vikings in the Dark and Feudal Age, while in the Castle and Imperial Age representing either Sweden or Denmark-Norway. Because in the Castle Age, you can pick if you want to either become the Swedish Empire or the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway. Each giving unique units, techs, landmarks, wonders, and even civilisation bonuses. In the concept overview, unique things to each of them have their respective flag in the top right corner.
The Vikings:
As mentioned, in the Dark Age and Feudal Age, the Scandinavians represent the Vikings. The Vikings were not only known as fierce raiders, which is represented with the Viking unit and their Hernadr Bounty civilisation bonus, but also as experienced seafarers. They therefor have access to the unique Longboat as a Dark Age archer ship. The Vikings also have Sagas, which are unique military bonuses that they gain from killing enemy military units. They also have the Runestone, a unique building that inspires nearby military units. The Longhouse also replaces the house as it was very common in Scandinavia at the time.
The Kingdom of Denmark-Norway:
The Kingdom of Denmark-Norway is more of defence and infantry focused path for the Scandinavians with there unique Huskarls and Riddere representing their historical forces focused on elite cavalry and large infantry.
The Swedish Empire:
The Swedish Empire is more focused on offence and technology than the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway. Having the unique Musketeers and Light Cannons representing the Swedes advanced armies during the Imperial Age.
Disclaimer:
Please don’t rate the concept based on balance that is not mentioned. I’ve seen that many times before on other civilisation concepts that people complain about something being OP when the stats are not even mentioned. If a concept of a unit for example seems OP, the stats are still obviously tweaked to be perfectly balanced. You can also download the Scandinavians mod on the workshop, which is not up to date but in terms of units most of them are the same, and they are balanced.
