Hammer of the Gods (gameplay) - Swedish Viking 1

Just realized you have to gradually decrease trade and then declare war if you are to avoid losing honor. Don't know how exactly you gain honor in this game, but some of it must be from completing quests. Gotta be careful from now on, so I don't lose out on gods that demand honor. Edit: You gain it by having treaties over time. Didn't really figure out if artifacts at sea are lost. Anyway, a good start. Quests are completed and cities are falling at a good pace. I gained a troll artifact of regeneration that can come very in handy for some hero or maybe wizard, if they can carry artifacts. I'm isolating the Norwegian dwarf, who is weak as usual. In the long run I'll lead a war against the Russian troll, and maybe expand into England.
