Imma copy paste my comment from elsewhere:
the older scenario civ changes they did:
-
Bari 3 (Loose Ends) Varangian Guard changed to Varangian civ
-
Saxon forces in Hastings changed to Saxons.
-
Wessex in York changed to Saxons
-
Danes in Finehair
-
Wessex in Ragnar changed to Saxons
-
Saxons in Vortigern
-
Saxons in Charlemage.
That’s it. What they didn’t change:
-
Any of the Saxon duchies in Barbarossa 1 and 2, or Henry the Lyon in 4.
-
Player in York scenario being changed to Danes, since we’re establishing Danelaw. Any of the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms to Saxons.
-
The red Norse player representing Uppsala and the Southern Jarls representing the Geats in Finehair were not changed to Varangians, despite them both being in Sweden.
-
Bjorn Ironside, despite being a Varangian AI name was not changed to Varangians in Ironside.
-
Vikings in Otto which are squarely situated in Denmark were not depicted as Danes
-
Northumbria in Ragnar wasn’t changed to Saxons, the Jomsviking faction was not changed to Danes (and the Jomsvikings don’t use the Jomsviking unit) nor was Ragnar changed to Danes or Varangians, despite having been a Danish and Swedish king, in addition to appearing as an AI player name for the Danes
All in all, subpar work in my opinion. If the developers wanted to so narrowly focus on making both the Swedes and Danes properly viking in design, why did they not bother adding them into the scenarios depicting their viking period? I’m honestly not impressed by their design choices here.
