Have fun http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif. The weekend will probably be over anyway before any serious questions come up http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif.

Hi,
I have been working on the AI for the Space Vikings and have posted the 0.9 Version over at the mod archive. If any of you are interested, check them out and give me some feedback.

Thanks,

Random item of information: I saw on "Jeopardy!" tonight that the Vikings used ravens on their ships' flags for good fortune in battle, in case you want to incorporate that.

Testing new .sig

The ravens are a good Idea. Odin had 2 pet Ravens which brought him news. Can't remember their names though, one of them might have been Skoggi. Doesn't matter, might use them on the racial or infantry pics (on a shield or something.)

Who was Skoggi then? Was that one of the Dwarves?

Hmm, I know a little bit about norse mythology, but I have not heard about Skoggi, yet. I'll some research and let you know, if I find something.

Other norse myth. animals:
Svadilfari: Sleipnirs father
Tanngrisni & Tanngnost: Thor's goats that pull his chariot
Gulltop: Heimdall's horse

Hi, again
sorry couldn't find anything on Skoggi.

Some more trivia: Did you know it was Loki (the Trickster) who gave birth to Sleipnir?

Anyway, if you are interested in Norse Mythology you should click here.

Thinking about it Skoggi might hav been a mid-80s Scandinavian electro-pop group.

Yes I did know that about Sleipnir, but I had forgotten until you reminded me.

Odin's ravens were Hugin and Munin ("Thought" and "Memory"). He also had two wolves named Freke and Gere, and an eight-legged horse named Sleipner.
