Hey Antonis, I thought I would share a few points about your mod.

While you are welcome to do whatever you wish and create a more of a fantasy/your version of Viking era Scandinavia and surrounding areas, if you want a more accurate mod what you have now has a bit to go.

Place names and geography, kingdoms, rulers, it's all over the place or made up. Some place are too far north or south, some place did not excist until much later or at all and the actual important places have been left out in some cases.

I will use Hálogaland(region where I live) and Finnmark, the northern part of your mod as my primary examples.

Hálogaland: During the viking era it stretched from Namdalen in todays Nord-Trøndelag to just south of the island where the city Tromsø stands today(where you put the Village of Bodø, Bodø did not excist, there was however a farm at around the location where you put hemnes called Bodin)the part of Hálogaland that you put in northern sweden did not excist.

This large area aswell as the part you have called kingdom of the sami, was considered a wasteland, the norsemen called all of it Finnmark, finnish nomads(today called sami) would roam these areas,but there was no kingdom or large settlements.

The Chieftains of Hálogaland would tax them, and also sail around and into the area called the White Sea(where you have put the castle Narem, in reality it was called Bjarmland at that time and and entirely different people lived there) to trade and plunder.

There is more, but I think you get the idea ,there are a few other smaller things I would like to mention, there were no medieval style stone castles at this time in scandinavia. There were ringforts, and wooden fortifications around a chiefs hall or town(kaupang) for example.

Leather Armor, scale armor or Lammelar armor was not in use at this time, either a simple woolen tunic, or padded armor like a gambeson, and a mail shirt if you could afford it.

There were also far more kingdoms at the time than shown here in Norway particulary, I have no Idea what Prodalog is or comes from.
