Hard Reality: Scandinavia

Challenging scenarios set in ancient Scandinavia using much more realistic maps. There is plenty of room for very large settlements while still presenting interesting and beautiful topography.

Winters can be up to 40% of the year when playing in Norway, or 25% of the year when playing in Denmark.

Raids are more frequent than in Hard Reality: Scotland but the raids are smaller. The size of raiding parties increases as your prestige increases.

Trading can be critical as ore deposits are nearly non-existent in Denmark. Traders come more often as your prestige increases. The migration rate also increases with your prestige. (These things already increase with prestige in the unmodified game, but I have increased them faster so as to support larger settlements.)

Technological advancement is slower as technologies cost 1.5x as much on hardcore and 1.3 times as much on normal mode.
