I totally understand what you mean by being unable to accurately comment on the game for not playing it so long.

Understandable, unfortunately :(.

If you can reload it and play the vinland scenario your feedback and input would be crucial.

Actually there are many. For example take paganism (the most negative valued religion of all) it has -25 tech speed, and -500 stability bonus.

The file I am refering to is located in the DB folder. Which file were you thinking about?
 
I'm reading. For the moment I have only the beta 5.0a (which is good) but I'm going the get the newest version (which probably is better) sometime in the future, and then I may come with some wievs and ideas and other such stuff :D but not before.
 
I'm still around, you know...

A little nitpicking from the early game period:

Spelling/grammar: -
I find a lot of spelling errors in the events
- expidition, centruies in the Geir af G. event
- Missing þ in the event name of "Foundation of þokahöfn" event

A lot of Capitalization errors -vinlanders instead of Vinlanders, small caps on many place names etc. like brugghús and verslunarmiðstöð (what is that supposed to mean, btw?)

Text code
In the "Widow Queen dies" event you have used "%" in the text. That's a no-no...

Colony name
For some reason there's no colony name for Acadie, one of the closest provinces. May I suggest Saltfell (= "Salt-hill")?

I like nitpicking :D (when I'm the one pickin' ;))


Is there any way you can think of that we can "market" this mod more effectively?

I have the AAR, we posted the first release in the EU2 main forum, and still no real increase in contribution. Is vinland simply not appealing?

Maybe more appealing to play than create? One thing we could do is to restart a "Vinland v.1" thread, leaving this 71 page monster behind. The thread itself is enough to scare away people I guess :p

If we start a new thread, with proper info on downloads, versions, credits, links to other info etc. in the first page, I think it'll be more appealing to the casual visitor...
 
More nitpicking:

colonynames.csv:
- 'U10;Stórhofn;103' should be 'U10;Stórhöfn;103'
- All the '-fliot's should be '-fljót'
- Province 110 have two entries: Arnvigi and Storfljót
- Capitalisation of verslunarmiðstöð and brugghús.

I'm curious about the meaning of these names (I can't make it out what it's supposed to be):
- Hjörland
- Blarvik
- Hloðland
- Arnvigi
- Verslunarmiðstöð

We should have a list of "Any" colonynames too, for other colonies.

"swordland"

- Blarvik

"blue cove"

- Hloðland

cant remember...

- Arnvigi

cant remember...

- Verslunarmiðstöð

This is a modern word, meaning "trade centre"...
Click to expand...

I'd suggest Blue cove: Blávik. Hjörland make sense now - the rest doesn't...

And Verslunarmiðstöð (oh, come on - shopping center? :rolleyes: Should we put in a Wal-Mart too :D) I'd rather see the more proper Kaupang :)
 
It makes no sense to me to entirely remove colonists in the beginning. The only way to expand then is to either wait for 50 years or so, changing the DP, or to quickly take a loan and invade the micmacs before they get forts. Can't you just lower it to 0,1 or something??

I agree we don't need to remove it entirely. Cash shortage will also reduce the usage in the beginning. But the way it is now you get (i think) ~2 each year...

Being an englishman, my medieval icelandic/nordic is a tad... well... crap.

Mine isn't very good either, but I do at least have the advantage of knowing a related language and a tad bit of Old Norse from my High School days...

Generally I think you've done a good job on the names, but I' d like to understand what they mean so that I can weed out the occational error, like the missing accent in Blávik (which changes the entive way it's pronounced) :)
 
I have sort of popped the question once (no, not 'that' question:D), but I'll try again:
Why don't u guys get your own sub forum and divide this thread into more organized sub threads? I know that the all-mighty Havard is a powerful mod guy, so why odn't you create it?

Now, you might ask: "what do you care?"
Well, I would like to read some more about this project and it's progress, but there is no way I'll read all this (it's quite a big thread u know)...:rolleyes: :D
