Warlock's Vinland Trade Routes

In 1 collection by iconophage
Warlock's CK2 Mods

Description
Adds pre-columbian trade routes to the Sons of Vinland region.

The Mooniyaang Trade Routes
The Iroquois were known to trade the excess corn and tobacco for fur pelts from the northern tribes and for wampum (shell beads) from the eastern tribes. They traded primarily through gift-giving, gifting goods in exchange for other goods and services. Iroquois clans were also known to monopolize trade routes once they discovered them.

The trade route featured in this mod starts in Adirondack and goes to the north and south, then spreading further eastward. Copper mines have been added in Adirondack and Wolystoq's trade posts, which is around where copper is mined to this day.

Requirements
Requires either Horse Lords or Jade Dragon DLC.

Compatibilities
Any mod that drastiically changes trade, or alters the map in some way, will probably not be compatible. Probably.

donjulian's Medieval Trade Routes mod is known to be incompatible.

Era's Trade Improve is a compatible alternative to the above.

Flint's Varangian and Radhanite trade route mods are also compatible.

Trade Post Locations
Adirondack - Starting location of the trade route. Trade flows from here.
Etchemins
Natigôsteg
Wabana
Agvituk
Manhattan
Wampanoag
Androscoggin
Wolystoq
Unama'kik

I have elected to not map out possible Norse trade routes from Greenland to the rest of the Americas. If, how much, and where the Norsemen traded with indigenous peoples is disputed academically and it felt weird to have a major trade route present in all game bookmarks. Sorry!

Changelog
August 27 2020
Removed trade posts in Pessamit, Stadacona, Pakuashipi, and Tilliniq.
Added trade posts in Agvituk, Wampanoag, Natigôsteg, Etchemins, and Androscoggin
Added new Copper Mine building to trade posts in Adirondack and Wolystoq
Rerouted trade routes to better reflect history
Updated localization (figured out how to use commas in CSVs)

Ah! Accidentally deleted the question post below. You need either Jade Dragon or Horse Lords for this to work. I have no idea if it will function without one of these.

Updated! Apologies if this causes problems with saves or your campaign goals

Thanks! I'll take a look at these and see about implementing them with some localisation improvements in a few days.

There were also Norse trading outposts in Killiniq and Amadjuak, although they didn't seem to have much archaeological evidence of trade with people much further south. They were probably used for lumber camps and walrus hunting, although Norse artifacts have also been found among native Dorset sites there

Great work! I have a few suggestions if you want to make it a bit more historical.

Androscoggin in the map was said to have been a major trading site and a Norse coin was discovered by archaeologists there, said to have been from trade.

Agvituk was one of the historical endpoints for Native trade in the area, with trade goods from much further south being discovered in the area.

Several places on the map were also home to indigenous copper mining for trade with Mississippian towns and cities. These include Maqtukwek, Missisquoi, and Agvituk.

Ian Barnes's Historical Atlas of Native Americans also shows Native trade routes passing from Etchemins down to Aroostok and Wolystoq as well as Etchemins down to Androscoggin.
