Western Europe 410-962 - The Winter King

It really depends on whether or not we can get our hands on an expanded terrain map. mjohnson85 greatly expanded his map for the Wars of the Roses mod, so initially we were planning to use his map; however, I think he's changed the map projection, which might complicate things somewhat.

If you don't mind me asking, what map projection are you using?

I actually have no idea; it was Luca0312 who made the map. I think that for such a small area the distortion is minimal, though, so it doesn't really matter all that much.

NASA's Blue Marble project uses equirectangular projection. We used it for the America map-- there's both color terrain and greyscale topographic maps available, incredibly high resolution stuff. If you need high-res material to properly extend the map, that may be a good option to work with. If you haven't already looked at it

How big would it be if you shipped it without all the music?

Flags, interface graphics and custom map take up a lot of space, music aside. That's probably where a lot of the mod's size is coming from.

Where did the Proto-/Old Norse names come from? King Halfdan's in as Halbadanir, but the Wikipedia article on Halfdan pins the reconstructed Proto-Norse form as Halbadaniz, with a z rather than an r at the end. I don't know much about Proto-Norse, so I'm curious about how the name was derived in Winter King and what different approaches there are to Proto-Norse names.
