Ragnar's Revenge!

nice story Mbkkbm :thumbsup:
looking forward to more pillaging, burning and conquering ;)
 
“Charge!” The cry rang out from King Erik II, leading the charge from the front. The city was attacked. Berserkers climbed over the other regiments and charged, frothing like maniacs, as they charged into the city. After the natural Viking pillaging was controlled, the city of Cherbourg was incorporated into the very large Viking Empire.

He had finally done it. The monument would make him immortal forever. The massive tower towered over everything in the city, marking King Ragnar V’s reign for all time to come. He also sent a force of mounted berserkers, which the French and English called Knights towards the formerly-French port of Marseille.

King Ragnar V’s son, King Olaf II decided to expand. To the west, he saw the small kingdom of Netherlands and the much larger kingdom of Russia. He also decided to look for new lands. He sent messengers throughout the kingdom, looking for someone crazy enough to sail off the end of the world.
The messengers just had to look in the Palace. In Nidaros, Prince Leif, youngest son of King Ragnar V, had finally decided to get out of this palace. He embarked on his journey in 1420, with his older brother, King Olaf II, being only 20 years old. Leif decided to gain honor for himself, not for his family. He officially renamed himself “Leif Eriksson” and set sail for the edge of the world.

By the time King Olaf II was 40, he was becoming impatient. The invasion force had gathered. All the preparations were set. All King Olaf needed was an excuse. A small band of renegade longbowmen under the Dutch flag had come dangerously close to the Viking city of Paris. This started a war, as King Olaf II publicly promised to “shove two axes down the frilly bastard’s throat”, and doubling the traditionally Viking method of execution.
War with Netherlands:

That same year, the force attacked. Using new tactics, such as a long stick that fired stone into people, the city of Amsterdam was taken. Willem van Oranje was publicly executed as King Olaf shoved two axes and a hungry cat down Willem’s throat, as vengeance for all the Vikings killed. He was then thrown onto a pyre of Dutch bodies, to burn whatever life remained in him. Meanwhile, Leif Eriksson son, Olaf Leifsson, had finally hit land. Unknown to him, this was the same time as the Netherlands were taken.
Amsterdam taken:

Suddenly, as he returned, a bunch of troops came to join him. They landed on this odd land. Their barbaric leader had a skull on his head. He would have to be killed, for he killed a Viking to his barbaric gods. The barbarian’s capital was taken, and incorporated into the Viking Empire. The barbarian was killed by his throat being suddenly populated by two new Viking axes. He died of internal bleeding within a few seconds.

Five years later, more messengers were sent out. By this time, King Olaf had two sons of his own, Prince-Elect Leif I, and Prince Erik. Prince Erik, following in the footsteps of Leif Eriksson, officially renamed himself Erik the Red, and left in the opposite direction to explore the world.
Erik the Red:

In 1455, King Olaf II would commit a serious error. After thinking the former Aztec (a new word in Viking for “barbarian”) cities would swear loyalty to him, he granted those cities independence. This was ridiculously stupid because they didn’t swear loyalty. Instead, they fought amongst themselves and banished all Vikings. Thus, Leif’s sons continued on his journey around the world.
IDIOT!:

King Leif I was worried. His navy was now sort of obsolete. Though all of the other nations still had galleys, his people had found a way to navigate using the stars. This was called Astronomy. With this, larger ships could go farther. Thus, King Leif I became known as “the father of the Viking Navy” by updating all of the Viking War-Galleys to what was known as “Galleons”, massive sailing ships which could hold cannon!
Galleons:

King Leif wasn’t just known as a Navy man. He knew that, to be remembered forever, he had to go to war. Looking to the east, he saw the “Tsardom of Russia”. This kingdom appeared to be an easy target. More importantly, they had a coastal city that could be easily taken. If necessary, anything else could be later taken at his son’s leisure. Thus, in 1490, War with the Tsardom of Russia was declared.

Erik the Red’s and Leif Eriksson’s ancestors had no idea where they were. They met off the coast of a huge landmass, which they originally decided to call “Vikstralia”, but were convinced to change it to “Vinland”. The two groups, without falling off the world, had just proved that the world must now be round, not flat as everyone thought.

10 years after the discovery of Vinland, the city of Holmgard, once Novgorod, was taken. Several forces moved on in a failed attack on Tver, which was part of an elaborate plot on the part of the aging King Leif I, and his son, Prince-Elect Olaf III. Once Tver was taken, it would be traded back to Russia for peace. (This word in Viking literally meant: More time to get troops.:mwaha::evil:)

Why did you grant independence? I don't think it was about stability otherwise you wouldn't have called it an error? It isn't the first time you play RFC right??

yeah. I know. I just thought they would be my colony. It didn't work, and I was really irritated. But, it saved a lot in maintenance. And i thought of the cat bit because i was watching animal planet.
 
Yeah it is one of the few things I don't like about RFC.... you can't create vassals that way.

I do think it wasn't a bad move... I usually try to vassalize the new world civ's when I'm not Spain/Portugal or The Netherlands otherwise I feel the cities aren't worth the upkeep and the loss of stability
 
you should've captured Kiev, since it was originaly a Viking settlement:spear:
 
Nice work!

This word in Viking literally meant: More time to get troops.
The English language needs a word for this :D
 
Great update! :goodjob:

King Olaf IV looked at his huge tower. All he had to do was remove his wooden structure and he would be known for all time. He had his engineers set fire to the wooden structure holding it up…..and…… “WHAT!?!” He exclaimed angrily. The Tower was LEANING! King Olaf was so infuriated with his engineers he boiled his moat and threw them into it to boil to death. In an odd note, the so-called “Leaning Tower” became a tourist attraction and the engineers received statues all throughout the city of Umea.

Five years later, King Olaf IV, (later to be known as “Olaf the Mad”) received horrible news from the Francia provinces. The Viking city of Amsterdam, long a Viking possession, had revolted and joined the Germans. This was clearly a act of war. But not yet; King Olaf IV was Mad, but not THAT mad. King Olaf IV passed his hatred of the Germans on to his only son, Prince-Elect Leif II.

10 years after the capture of Warschau, the city of Lemburg was taken. This particular city was to be made an example of Viking power. All Lemburgians were rounded up. 4/5 of every Lemburgians were sent out of the city into either Russia or the German Empire. After the taking of Berlin by numerically superior forces, and the influx of immigrants from Lemburg caused the collapse of the German Empire. All of the Lemburgians who remained were punished for the sins of the revolting Germans by being impaled. This evil act gained King Ragnar VI the nickname “Ragnar the Impaler”. The city was then burned to the ground after the impalement.

In nine years, an odd man named “Orville Wright” was born in Umea. He would’ve been simply one of the thousands of babies born in Umea, but, due to mocking about his name and how odd it was, he studied engineering too much and became renowned as a Great Engineer. He eventually found his way to the city of Amsterdam, where the city was started working on a separate palace for Matthias. He then modified the plans, and, after working 20 hour days, almost finished it. He died after completing the plans, from over-working.

Russia and the Viking Empire had never had a good relationship. They already had a war over the territory near the Viking Homeland, and, due to the odd ability of Catherine to be both bi-polar and insane, war with Russia was declared.

A disturbing rumor was spread just after the declaration of war. Someone named “St. Augustine” took the names of all of the most powerful powers. The Vikings were listed….second! The Viking people demanded something be done. King Harald I was in a nap, and let Prince-Elect Olaf V do whatever he wanted. St. Augustine was literally strapped to a wooden rod, and roasted over an open fire. Once he was cooked at 300 degrees for 10 minutes, he was mercifully stabbed in the throat after he confessed that the Vikings were the most powerful. (Thus earing Prince-Elect Olaf V the nickname “Olaf the Just”.)

Nine year afterwards, a council was held at the city of Al-Mukalla. The Vikings were naturally invited, and asked for the city of Bordeaux, which they were denied. The Spanish demanded the city of Paris, and, though they got it, the King Olaf V knew the vote was rigged and refused, thus causing the war with Spain.

Suddenly, massive ships equipped with massive cannons sailed towards the galleons. “Huye! Salvese quien pueda!” the panicked admiral screamed. The galleons simply couldn’t turn fast enough.
