Thanks for the feedback.
I'm fixing resource allocation for Scandinavia in the next map update - while there are currently a lot of resources in Sweden, there's not much within the logical city radii.
I didn't get very far in terms of gameplay with the Swedes either. Maybe 15 turns.
I'm open to giving them a health building to begin with, but nobody had founded Protestantism when they spawned. I'm not sure that having them start the game with missionaries is necessarily appropriate, although it's been proposed by at least one person that Protestantism should be founded upon the Swedish spawn.
I've rarely seen the Norse as a major power. There are two reasons they start in Aarhus and not Copenhagen - first, we tried to coordinate spawn dates with the best estimate of the founding of the first Norse cities. We came up with Aarhus and Tonsberg, which is supposed to flip to them at spawn to encourage settlement of both landmasses.
Thank you for your elaborate reply.
Maybe im posting this in the wrong thread. But anyway, the origin of the danish people (who combined with the norwegians, are the Norse) is in Scania (present day sourthen sweden). It was from there the rest of the danish lands were settled and the germanic tribes that lived there were dispatched.
The most importent of the earliest "real" danish cities are probably Roskilde, Ribe and Lund. But since Roskilde and Copenhagen are so close (~30 km), I think it would be a fair abstraction to simply have Copenhagen as the capital. Another point is that Copenhagen was both the capital and most importent city of the Norse (danish/norwigians) for the majority of the time spand by this mod and thus longer than all the other cities combined.
Also, the "core" of the danish lands was the Oeresund region (east cost of Zealand and west coast of Scania), from shortly after the formation (if not right away) of the danish state till Scania was conquered by Sweden in 1658.
Århus on the other hand has never been the capital of Denmark, and I honestly think that the importence of Århus in a historical context is a bit exaggerated on the wikipedia page. From the spawn of the Viking till around 1300, I would say that both Aalborg and Ribe are more importent than Århus among the danish cities located in Jutland.
