I've removed all files that add complexity and difficulty within my mod as I wonder if these are the source of some crashes. Canute VII has made a range of mods which should work with CW so you can customise the challenge nicely by adding whichever of his mods you like. As usual feedback is appreciated.
-Made Nordic Raider Ships more powerful
-minor changes around Persepolis

9.6 Now incorporates Canute VIIs' AEPV++ for a more challenging game. I've played ~ 20min w this version and it does seem harder. Let me know how it goes. I don't expect this to break any existing saved games but the added difficulty wont kick in unless you start a new game.
