The more I read, research and look up about the Vikings, the more I wished I picked a different option.
Vikings have been done a lot before. They're quite a standard in dark age concepts. The Visigoths, the Franks and all else are largely unexplored, which makes them so much more intriguing.
That's the reason why Brytenwalda appeals to me so heavily. I downloaded the mod, played it and couldn't understand a thing of it. Different types of names, language, troops, ... I read a lot about the dark ages and the Brytenwalda timeframe, just to get a bearing on what was what. If there's an expansion about the vikings, that wouldn't be necessary at all.
But still, whatever this team releases is going to be played to death by me.
So do what you want, because then you'll do it best.
