Thank you for the DLC.. :)

[Dennis The Great]

Hi

First i like to thank the people behind this DLC, i love it and the story is really well made
im from Denmark my self so im very happy to finally see some Danish vikings i am a Viking reenactor here in Denmark and i really enjoy playing a Danish viking...

but.. i will make a list with some bugs, ideas and requests if i may..

Bad things first: (please have in mind that i know you are working hard to fix some of the problems already)

1. I had to restart/start a new story, because i got stock in england on the map, i could do nothing, not move my character og anything else. i have tryit this before, in storymode, where the ship i get is stock in Ribe, every time i try to enter the ship i enter Ribe instead. so i had to skip the ship and pay for me and my men to sail around i have also tryit to get stock in a tree in battle, i was hidding behind the tree, but suddenly got stock. same goes with enemy, 2 times i had to fight a enemy inside the tree (sometimes i couldt hit him because of the tree).
2. tree's waves too much in the scenes, really unrealistick
3. when in battle, the enemy doesnt attack.. they just stand still, i have to cross the map to the other end, and then engange them.. but they just stand there and swing the stone thrower.. when i get closer the throw the stone but they do only attack when i get all the way to stand right in front of them.. same goes with my men.. the just stand and swing those damn stone throwers.. if i make the order to attack nothing happens, even if i order only blund weapons.. they still just stand and swing... swing... swing... swiiiing... please fix this
4. Bows ?? what happen with those really thin sticks ?? the look like a chinese eating stick with a string to shoot with.. please make the bows look more realistick and bigger
5. the viking clothes, please make them even more viking look.. the VikingR mod made som very nice models with small bags on the side, and so on.. maybe you should ask if you could borrow the models from there ?? the gambeson is nice, but maybe all of them should have a better texture.. well thats what i think..
6. where are the Dane axe and throwing axes ??
7. Denmark doesnt have mountains.. Denmark is a flat country with hills but no mountains
8. The vikings spears look odd.. they are not realistic at all.. i can give you pictures if you want
9. Vikings didnt use stribet pants.. please change that

i can remember more right now

Things i like:

1. Wow the hair and beard is very well made, the best i have seen so far
2. The shields a nice, (maybe better paintjob but all in all, nice )
3. the ships are nice too, and it works very good, even seabattle is nice.. thumbs up i like the way you can order it to move
4. the axes looks good to, but some of them have a odd bent in the buttom of the grib.. why ??? but the texture is nice.. the seax's is very nice too.. good work and i love that you have placed them in the back.. good work, maybe if you could make it random back or front ?? the swords look nice, but the texture could be better on the blade...
5. the towns and villages is very nice made, i do however miss the long house in Ribe please make it... i love the forts.. nice work with the walls and buildings
6. I have the feeling when i play that i am a viking, and thats the goal for me.. but again, there are some things that the DLC needs before its really kick me in the nuts.. 

I do really feel good about the DLC, and i trust you will fix al the problems that people are reporting.. keep up the good work, this could be the best just listen to the community and you will make the best

Requests:

1. Please make some more clothes.. more color variants and better texture, and for the love of odin.. make them with bags and equipment in the belts.. just like VikingR mod did.. i can show pictures from real life reenactment if you like
2. If you havent already made it.. please make Dane axes.. the vikings where dangerous with them same goes with throwing axes
3. Long houses.. specially in Ribe..
4. Better and thickere Long bows
5. Better and more realistic Viking spears (i can gove you pictures or just look at VikingR mod weapons )
6. Just more to play with

best Regards

Dennis

I just want you Devs to Consider changing some actual decisions you made. Will you change any actual content with updates after you have fixed the bugs or is Optimization and bug fixing your only goal with updates. Because the spears look funny, i don't care if its historically inaccurate have at least one two handed axe, and the bows are a joke. I swear bows were more advanced than the ones in this mod and Two Handed axes were used in this period if not used widely at least. The throwing rocks, without sling that you get are better than bows. The Weapons and gameplay needs more balancing and the game is lacking a variety of gear present in other DLC and mods. Also Unlimited ranged ammo in boats is silly.
I Love brytenwalda, i see this mod could be good once fixed(I really want to play SP but the bad fps ruins it for me), but it still needs balancing and more content after you have fixed its buggy state.

Top priority is optimising the DLC as a whole, as well as fixing severe bugs.
After that we'll be looking into minor bugs, and finally balancing the gameplay.
So feedback like this is important to us. Even though David killed Goliath with a rock/sling maybe they shouldn't be so lethal

Have faith people, I am 100% that all the things badly requested from the users will be taken care off in due time.

Hi Dannis,

As Idibil, said, the bug you have reported have been added to the to-do list, but I other, historical things, are being checked by our historical member. Some of them, I can say since I made the, are suggestions from other period of time (Danish axe) or are as accurate as We can (spears). In any case, I will let you know more details when we have it.

Then, about point 1 we might need some more details/sceenshot or anything that help us find where and how did you get stuck.

Thanks.

We're talking about the viking age, not ancient times. If that source i read about icelanders throwing rocks in eachothers faces for fun was as legit as i think it was then -maybe- you should make rock/sling less powerful, yes ...
