Warlock’s Vinland Trade Routes
Adds pre-columbian trade routes to the Sons of Vinland region.
The Iroquois were known to trade the excess corn and tobacco for fur pelts from the northern tribes and for wampum (shell beads) from the eastern tribes. They traded primarily through gift-giving, gifting goods in exchange for other goods and services. Iroquois clans were also known to monopolize trade routes once they discovered them.
The trade route featured in this mod starts in Adirondack and goes to the north and south, then spreading further eastward. Copper mines have been added in Adirondack and Wolystoq’s trade posts, which is around where copper is mined to this day.
Requires either Horse Lords or Jade Dragon DLC.
Any mod that drastiically changes trade, or alters the map in some way, will probably not be compatible. Probably.
donjulian’s Medieval Trade Routes mod is known to be incompatible.
Era’s Trade Improve is a compatible alternative to the above.
Flint’s Varangian and Radhanite trade route mods are also compatible.

I have elected to not map out possible Norse trade routes from Greenland to the rest of the Americas. If, how much, and where the Norsemen traded with indigenous peoples is disputed academically and it felt weird to have a major trade route present in all game bookmarks. Sorry!
