Key Game Details
Frozen fields stretch under gray skies, telling a story rooted deep in early Norwegian winters. Not magic, but muscle shapes survival – this world skips legends for what actually happened. Think cold steel, not fire-breathing beasts lurking behind hills. Harsh choices echo louder than myths around campfires at night.
- The Story: Young Gunnar takes up arms, driven by rage after losing his father. A stolen throne fuels his path – Steinarr Far-Spear took it all. Revenge shapes every step he makes now. This tale unfolds through words crafted by Giles Kristian. Known for raw, true-feeling Viking tales, his pen brings this one to life too.
- Tactical Combat: Every move matters when you fight across squares on the battlefield. Win by standing higher than enemies, hitting them from the side. Objects around can become weapons – use what’s there. Terrain shapes every clash, often deciding who survives.
- Settlement Management: Out past the fighting, building up your home takes shape – starting tiny, then rising stronger. A blacksmith arrives, next a miller shows up, each one feeding or arming those who fight. Wood, iron, grain – they pile up where once there was nothing. Huts turn into workshops when enough hands pull their weight. Forging real blades needs space, fire, time – all found by lifting walls higher. What began under tents now stands on stone foundations, ready for what comes.
- Permadeath: Mind your team – the regular fighters in your group might not come back if they fall in battle.
