B) Just keep this amazing fucking LP going. Sucks that Warrior Cults are being nerfed, aren't they one of the few advantages you have as a Pagan?
Actually that's an interesting exercise.
Advantages of being Norse:
+ Warrior cults
+ Better relations with the Mongols, when they show up (actually pretty important, considering that we're near the edge of the map)
Disadvantages of being Norse:
- Almost everything else
- Shitty starting land
- Nonexistent starting income
- Nonexistent starting tech
- The vast majority of Europe hates you
- Position exposes you to a lot of borders with hostile nations, if you expand (we expanded)
- Crappy allies / options for marital claims
- Holy knights will destroy you
- Limited mercs
- No holy wars / crusades
- No claims
- No papal invasions
- Long-lasting religious penalties for newly conquered land
- Low moral authority for the church, making conversions hard
- No mechanism for raising church authority besides creating Paragons of Virtue
- No antipope
Mixed:
+/- No pope (you don't lose religious taxes to him, but he doesn't randomly hand you free money, either)
