Notes

The game will use some rules (including the 24-hour rule) as well an accelerated start mod.
Both will be ready in few days but if not we will start at Saturday 22 with only the 24-hour rule and the CTP PBEM Mod Lite instead.
All settings are pre-fixed but if you wish another leader, civilization or setting you may say so

Oh, and if we play this with true historical accuracy, doesn't that mean that the Vikings become extinct?!

Sorry Birdman!

I will try to reduce swamps, tundra, glacier and desert tiles in the mod. If not succeed then I reccomend to turn into warm and yet to avoid ice since swamps & desert can be terreformed early in the game. And lot of goods always

Well, the Viking never extincted really. They formed different states found in nowadays in Northern Europe
In fact Canute though Viking he was a Danish king in accurate.

Accuracy? Romans & Turkish doesn't play so I guess I won't get enslaved

Wrong Rick and Keygen.

The various viking kings families did extinct (some did anyway) most because of loosing their heads or deadly diseases. I was also told once I visited Trelleborg (an old viking fort), that ... what is it called, food that is too old, half rotten) ... that ""that"" "killed" up to a third of the population of each age (oh holy sh.t ).

But the Viking state was actually the very same as Denmark is today - just quite larger (Estland, southern Sweden, northern Germany, Norway from time to time) and some islands.

Also remember, that Dannebrog is the oldest national flag in the world!

Well, we musn't forget all those Vikings who sailed to what is now the south of France, noticed the distinct lack of snow, and decided to stay!

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

The royal families might have extincted but the people practically survived and formed what we call in our days, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. Not to mention the mixture that occured in England after the William's conquest of England in 1066 and the Danlo (not sure for the spelling) in the northeast England the years that followed or the common ancestors that some other countries in Central and Western Europe have with the Vikings.

It is the civilization of the Vikings that extincted or better say was absorbed by the "Western" civilization

Much of history here

So you find the selections exept player order fine so far, correct?
