He also spent quite a while in Ukraine, serving under Yaroslav the Wise, before going to Constantinople, then, as the story goes:

Harald stole Byzantine treasury, blinded an emperor, and escaped back to Kyiv... then he became king of Norway, traveled to America, and conquered British until king for a few days, Harald Godwinson became a king for a few weeks, then Normans came.

Anyway there's a Rus' civ with Rurik and I think adding Hardrada there is good, he worked in Kyiv longer than he spent in England IIRC.

For anybody that doesn't know, yes, Harald Hardrada was a Byzantine mercenary for a while. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Just why?

Its funny, the mecenary bonus makes more sense with him in Byzantines than Norway

do a leader swap for harald and england civ since that would be a more sensible what-if

the ocean domination byzantium with overpowered longship and dromon

Would it be possible to have a version where you just use the original animated Harald unchanged (no color tweaks, etc)?

I liked the idea of the what if leaders its cool. What other leaders did you do for this? I looked at your workshop and I don't see any. Sorry for asking if its in a obvious spot

@jermapilled, if you go to the Israel page you'd see why people ask here.

I second the Israel update. Also, is there a way to get that leader art for Norway?
