Nah, no special characters in VC. Maybe it messes with the troop/party ID or something? Plus they used to get complaints from some folk about incomprehensible names in Bryt so they maybe didn't want to make it harder (for the anglophones anyway).
For the small villages they seem to use a naming convention that uses the nearest fortress. Din Erth=Fort Erth, Tref Erth= Erth village, that kind of thing. Could be a nice system if you don't want to use modern-sounding names. Plus it makes it more obvious which villages are attached to which centres.
Thanks, man, I really appreciate the info. I had a naming system like this in mind, but the use of appropriate terms sounds very good. So, there won't be Universal Forts, each faction will have those in their language, or at least, in an easy to read format of that language.

Is there anything to help with so mod would be released sooner?
And I got one name for village, i don't know if it really existed but there is story about village called mogdanec in heart of Carpathian mountains. One day pagans killed all monks from monastery nearby and burned local priest alive. For few years no cristian could enter the village.
So again if there is anything for me to help with let me know
Thanks for the legend, I didn't know about it, despite collecting legends from around the world for some years. That is a bit irrelevant with the mod per se, but since it concerns a hobby of mine, I thank you. Now, I'm off to research to find out more about it.
Also, thanks for the offer. In that stage, the only thing to make the mod be finished sooner is research. Since I have the basis of the module system ready, many items gathered, it is only a matter of time to 'assemble' them and add new things.
But research will probably take me some time, for sure. So, if you like, you can help with that. Already, Urgrevling and Teofish provided me with many things for the scandinavian factions, including known lords, flora types, settlement names and such. I have knowledge of the Byzantine Empire of the era, as it was one of my courses in University and also I do have many books on the Carolingian Empire(the mod takes place shortly after the treaty of Verdun). But I don't have any info about:
-Bulgarians
-Great Moravia
-The Abbasids
-The Berber tribes
-The Emirate of Cordoba
-Asturias
All those, between others will be in the mod, but if someone was willing tto do some research, mainly to save time, while providing info, I'll be grateful. If you like, contact me via PM, sa that we don't clatter the thread. Thanks!
