Heroic Ancestry: scaled-back version of the existing Great Generals promotions, probably linked to a national wonder building; +25% to Great General spawning.

Shield Wall: Similar to the Discipline policy under the Honor tree, but linked to a unique unit (Huskarl); +10 Defense strength when fighting next to other units with this promotion. Cannot be chosen, but is kept if Huskarl upgrades.

Last Stand: I know some existing civ (Japan?) has a similar Unique Ability, but Berserkers should be able to fight without penalty in spite of damage. Lost if Berserker is upgraded.

Born With Skis: Ignores movement penalties in snow-covered terrain; kept if unit is promoted.

Any questions, potential problems, or suggestions for other promotions that fit the Nordic setting? Please post them here!

Edited to add: If anyone can suggest and/or design icons for the promotions above, I'd appreciate that a lot. Many thanks!
 
Is this going to be a new Civ?

More than just a civ--I have a whole modpack in mind that will add two more Nordic civs (older versions of Sweden and Norway) plus lots of resources, units, buildings, wonders...all to help the game feel as Norse as possible without turning Civ 5 unplayable.
