Before I post these Viking Civ(s) City lists on Calgacus thread, I would like to get some feedback on the city names, and some help filling in a bit more.
There are 4 lists included here. One 'Hybrid' Viking nation (i.e all nationalities of those we have chosen to call Vikings are mixed together) and then there are individual lists for Swedish, Norwegian and Danish cities.
I've tried to only use cities that were founded during or before the viking era (cutting the era a bit of slack by letting it run from 750-1100 AD), and whenever possible I've tried to maintain the original name and spelling. The further down the list you get, the less picky I have been, so for example Jorvik (York) is included even though it wasn't founded by Vikings, and it's listed as Jorvik even though it's original name was Eboracum. My excuse is that it was an important Viking city nonetheless, and it was called Jorvik while it was important (to the vikings). There are more cases like this, but generally they should be found at the lower end of the list. And if they're not, let me know.
Ok, enough chatter - the lists:

The latter 3 are for a mod that I'll probably never be able to finish (or even start) so I thought I'd throw them out in the open, hoping that someone would create a 'Viking Conquest' scenario from them. (Granted, even if I get the lists fixed up good, there would still be a bit of work to do for anyone wanting to make a Scenario ). The names are more or less the same as the ones in the 'hybrid' list above, except a few have been left out. (Jorvik, Westness and Askrigg, to be specific)

I could use some more names, especially for the Norwegian and Danish vikings, and those would of course also be added to the Hybrid list.
Please give me some feedback. Or ignore me if you're tired of the Vikings. But don't spam me - I'll start singing if you do (...lovely spam...)
