Kind of reminds me of another map
Anyway, I like the gameplay style - starting bases are proving very popular.
The Danish starts are at a disadvantage with fewer terits to attack (esp. with the bonus building system a la New World) and more decay fleets to get through. I'm sure there will be a solution - something that doesn't need to be sorted urgently though.

Otherwise the solution suggested is only way to go.
But maybe 2 troops for 3 regions? To balance the decay + giving the vikings some more offensive power.

There you get autodeply instead of just deploy if you own a certain set of colour. If you own the colour's home, the shop will auto-deploy. Otherwise it will give Deployment bonus.
So there is a way.
Edit:
Also if you think 2 for 3 is too much, you could make it scaleable. Start with 1 for 2 until 4 and then add some extra bonus. 5 Ships would give 3 troops.
But this is getting complicated and would require extra legend text, which seems unnecessary.

Didnt they visit England too?
Also do you mean that it wont be possible to attack the viking home countires? Like in history.
That seems very unbalanced, if you cannot take out an player.

Sorry folks!

have some notices:
1, there will be no Kingdoms?
no, You get +1 for every two regions you hold which are in the same realm (effectively a continant) so holding Ui Niell and Ulidia gives +1, holding Scone and Dal Riada gives +1 but holding Ui Niell and Dal Riada gives no bonus as they are in different realms.2, two regions in Ireland + realm in Scotland gives +1?
I may add a soft background to the sea at some point but I haven't so far as I'm afraid that combined with the flags it may make the map look too busy.3, add maybe any background to see. I like symbols of Kingdoms as background in the land.
Sorry, this is a little hard to follow: you like the decay being cancelled by holding Norway and Denmark or don't? It seems to be somewhat essential in terms of gameplay at the moment anyway.4, I like idea of fleets as was at the start. the fleets are Viking´s and others did not have good ships...
