VATA (Vikings Across The Atlantic)

After playing for around 150 hours in the British Isles as a norse pagan, i felt a little bit disappointed with the current cultures available and suddenly becoming the head of the Norse culture, because everyone in the world has converted definetely breaks the immerson, i had now technically the exact same culture as some random norse count in India. Also, paradox had a small bug that broke the default norse-split and made the informative event about it don't fire.

This mod fixes that, by creating 5 new cultures in Britain to proportionate you a better gameplay as a viking in the British Isles, and also an icelandic one because it doesn't exist in the base game.

The mod fires together with the norse melting pot 950-990

I. Regionalism and ownership were factors taken into account when coding the event and there are a very complex set of rules that dictate how each county and ruler will convert, designed in a way to prevent culture border gore and better suit your roleplay purposes.

II. The culture's names have a historical background a reason behind most of them, but as Nationalism and Etimology weren't so popular in the middle ages, mainly for pagans, sources are scarce and a little bit of creativity was used in the name creation process

III. The mod has been coded in a way players have more flexibility and the whole mod is made in a dynamic way, so cultures won't pull any innovations from old ones if they didn't exist, for example. Also, you have free will to chose how your realm will convert, this means that if you are perfeccionist like me, you can let every vassal of yours convert accordingly to it's region target culture and have a more pleasant map to look at.

If you are reading this, this mod certainly caught your attention and i would love to hear any suggestions or opinions you have. Also, if you encounter any bug or strage thing during the conversion or after, report it in the comments and i'll be sure to answer.

Future Plans:

- More Scandinavian subcultures #
- Decision to integrate finnish, sami and estonian culture into the North Germanic group. (Estonia can into nordic!) #
- Add a start option for the cultures start already split. #
- More flavor to the Anglo-Norse cultures. #
- New exclusive innovations for the Anglo-Norse and the Norse. #

- New mechanics?
- New buildings?
- Tweak raiding?
- Custom government form for vikings?
