Pay the Danegeld
Historically, when Vikings came to raid the lands of France and Britain, a ruler could opt instead to give them payment to ensure the safety of their lands. This payment was known as the Danegeld – and it’s missing from CK2. You have no option but to fight the raiders off with military might.
Now, that changes! This mod allows you to pay the Danegeld, giving up a chunk of gold to ensure peace between the raider and your realm; for a while at least. Provided, of course, the raider accepts and isn’t just here for the glory…
=======================================================
As an independent ruler, you can right click the portrait of anyone raiding you, and click ‘offer danegeld’. If they accept, a suitable tribute will be deducted based on the tier of the Raider.
Count: 70
Duke: 200
King: 300
Emperor: 500
Nomads (any tier): 250
If you feel like altering the amounts, just pop on into the events file and change the numbers in DANEGELD.7. It’s a mod, so tweak it to your liking! If a ton of people think it’s too steep (or not steep enough) I’ll change it in an update.
This doesn’t alter any vanilla files, so it SHOULD be compatible with most everything. The AI can theoretically offer you the Danegeld as well, but you know how the AI is.
As always, feedback and bug reports are much appreciated. Thanks!
