p0kiehl’s Norway Rework

This mod is a rework of Norway. The civilization ability, inspired by an idea from Reddit poster lagaboter1, is more focused on terrain bonuses to reflect Norway’s connection with both the mountains and the sea. The leader ability maintains Harald’s raiding bonuses, but removes the ship building bonuses. Instead, Harald has bonuses to Harbor and Commercial Hub construction to reflect his important economic and trading reforms, and gets gold from combat victories to reflect the vast wealth he accumulated in war.

The Viking Longship is unchanged, but the Berserker is now a Swordsman replacement, with appropriate changes to combat strength, cost, and prerequisite Technology. It is also now purchased with Faith.

Finally, the Stave Church is no longer a building in the Holy Site – it is now its own Unique Improvement with fun adjacency bonuses!

• City Centers gain +1 Faith and +1 Production for each adjacent Water tile.
• Sea resources receive +1 of the appropriate yield from specialty districts within 3 tiles.
• Tiles with Breathtaking Appeal provide +1 Culture, +1 Food, and +1 Gold when adjacent to Water tiles.

• +50% Production towards Harbors and Commercial Hubs.
• Combat victories grant Gold equal to 50% of the Combat Strength of the defeated unit.
• All naval melee units can perform coastal raids.
• Pillaging or raiding Mines grants bonus Science.

• Gain the Viking Longship unique unit after unlocking the Sailing technology.

• No longer a Holy Site building! Now, it’s a unique improvement constructed by Builders!
