Alright, after several months(!) of development, the Urdheim beta (v0.1) is finally here for download as promised. (Check first post)
Inside you get:
1 new nation
60 national sprites
30 national units
15 national spells
2 national pretenders
1 small thematic gui change (fully optional)
Now, despite this being my first real mod, don't be gentle. Be brutal. I welcome and embrace criticism. I prefer constructive criticism naturally, but I imagine anything can help me improve the mod for the next release.
I am committed to seeing this through and will be releasing new updates with added content, more balance, and less bugs in the coming weeks.
If I may suggest some music to go with the nation (for those of you who enjoy the fantasy gaming music genre but have heard the EA dom music a thousand times), this leads to the free to download knights of honor soundtrack:

Nothing else to add except,... Enjoy!
Edit:
In the music link provided, the track "vulture's lair" has a broken link. It is fixed simply by copying/pasting and then changing vulture's to vultures.
