King Edward the Confessor of England has died, but not before formally designating Harold Godwin as his successor. Both William of Normandy and Harald of Norway also claim the English throne. But King Edward made his intentions clear, and William and Harald hesitate to press their claims.
Harold is crowned King of England on 6 January 1066. Though he is safe, for the moment, from the threat of foreign invasion, many of the Saxon barons are displeased with his accession and, and by the autumn of 1066, Harold's kingdom is riven with internal dissent.
Can Harold consolidate his power? Will William and Harald press their claims? Will the Saxon barons acknowledge Harold's crown?
So What Is This Mod?
This is a simple mod that removes the Norman and Norwegian invasions from the opening of the campaign, so Harold begins his reign at peace.
Notes
1. The game begins with Harold at peace with both William and Harald. Harald's army is in York but will quickly disband once the game is unpaused.
2. William and Harald both retain their claims to the English crown and can assert them immediately. (I haven't playtested long enough to see how the AI will react, i.e., whether and when it will press the claims.)
3. I've made no changes to opinions, plots, etc. There probably is much that could be done to heighten Harold's discomfort or increase the odds of invasion, but the mod, for now, simply removes the wars.
4. I've also included my Saxon England Flag mod. If you don't like the new flag, just remove it from the mod file. More information here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?587905-MOD-Another-Saxon-England-Flag
