Danish Invasion of England(Danelaw)

by **naxus** on Sat Jan 17, 2009 3:06 am

Im proposing a map of when the danes invaded england.It would be a map of england cut up into the kingdoms of Mercia, Northumbria, Wessex, and East anglia with the kingdoms being further cut into counties.
Thier would also be a smaller map of the Nordic Countries and ships off the coast of both countries.

Nordic Countries

Bonuses would be for each kingdom, all of the nordic nations, and possibly for the Danes boats.There could also be 1 to 2 more kingdoms but im still thinking about that.

Im not good with art or HTML so I would need someone to help me with those two

I like this a lot. Always been interested in the dark ages.

Get a draft up and we'll see what we've got

This sounds like a great idea

Sorry its upside down but my comp was being dumb.
England would be cut up into six kingdoms ,Wessex, Mercia, East Anglia, Scotland, Wales, and Cornwalluim/Cornwall.
The Nordic nations would be cut up into either just territories or Norway, sweden and Denmark.
The ships around the nordic nations and on the left side would be a bonus when held while the ships on the right side (next to East Anglia) would also be a bonus.

I like the Idea. Are you going to make it? if not I might like to try but only in a few weeks, after my midterms.

This is actually an Idea I wouldn't mind lending a hand with if you need.

Here's a link to a map I co-made (sadly we abandoned) set a little earlier- may be a help with names and stuff. - viewtopic.php?f=242&t=36533&p=1495690&hilit=+dark+age+britain#p1495690

Just a thought

But I think that this would be good as a parchment styled map
