Asatru Holy Site Changes (3 in Britian & 3 in Scandinavia)

Description
This mod changes the holy sites of Asatru religion to be more thematic and to also make reformation easier. The mod changes the following:

Paderborn is no longer a holy site. Similar to Zeeland, this is clearly a Saxon holy site, yet Zeeland was removed but Paderborn stayed. If we get a Saxon themed religion in the future, which will likely be in same religion group as Asatru, it should get these two as holy sites. This is not a Viking holy site however.

Kiev has been removed as a holy site as well, because it's too far away from majority of Asatru gameplay and the rulers there change to Slavic paganism pretty early anyway.

Dublin (Dyflinn) has been added as a holy site, as the Norse settlement there was significant to both history of city of Dublin and to the Norse.

Outer Hebrides (Skíð) has also been added as a holy site, as it was a hub of Norse activity for a very long time.

Sjaelland (Lejre) has been restored as a holy site.

Ásatrú now has 6 holy sites, 3 in Scandinavia and 3 in British Isles, so if you play in any of these areas, you have enough holy sites to reform the religion without conquering very far away lands. The modifiers have also been tweaked to avoid duplicate modifiers and to provide the modifiers of removed holy sites.

So is there a way to combine this mod with other mods that modify Asatru? So that way this one's holy sites are the ones that work but the tenants of say the Old Gods mod would work?

Is it still up to date?

This conflicts with the Wulþus Gutþiudō mod as that mod adds a new Germanic faith. (It's a mod that adds Remnants of the East Germanic cultures).
Tho it doesn't alter Asatru, I don't think so I have no idea why.

@Woden Warrior
Nice round number.:steammocking: But yeah would be nice.

Why not keep Paderborn? It was the site of the Irminsul tree which would obviously have been interpreted as Yggdrasil to the Norse. The Norse themselves were influenced by the West Germanics (Jutland inhabitants) genetically and possibly culturally (the cult of Odin is speculated to have possibly been influenced by the Celts and spread to Scandinavia by the West Germanics). Besides, Hindus get to have 7 holy sites (adding more holysites for all religions would be great actually).

That would be cool.

@Siaxares
You can use "*" symbol to tell the launcher to ignore the game version change.
Example:
1.*.* - will show error only when the game will update to 2.0.0.

The mod works perfectly. But I will update just to have correct version later

Update?

@Widen Warrior There are other mods that keep it. I made this mod to solely focus on areas that Norse gameplay actually exists. Decisions, characters etc are a factor here.
