## Description

### Steam Store Description

In general, people associate with Vikings – only battles and carnage.
Historically, however, the Vikings were real allrounders: ingenious explorers,
merchants, fighters and sailors. They understood, much better than any other
people at that time the art of economics. From their trading centers in the
Baltic Sea, Birka and Haithabu they sailed the seas and developed extensive
trade routes from Russia to the Mediterranean.

The game considers all aspects of Vikingism in a fantastic and realistic 3D
world – trade, economics, and combat to the degree that they may have been in
the real life of a Viking.

Goal is to build a robust economic system with a flourishing maritime trade
under realistic climatic and seasonal conditions. Only with the income of your
island production and the reward of fullfilled tasks you’re able to fulfill
the claims of your lord – Thorvaldson.
But apart from the harsh climate and other bad circumstances, the multitude of
enemies are the biggest threat to your prosperity and your life. As a loyal
swordsman of Thorvaldson, you will receive guard troops and can protect your
village with massive weapons. Protection that you need to defend you
properties and inhabitants.

Other information about the game:
The presentation of the figures, the calendar and the seasons, are largely
based on historical traditions and geographical conditions. At the
presentation of battle scenes, however, in order to increase the thrill, we
have used a little bit of fantasy.
The in-game time of the game is divided so that 1 hour of real time means a
day in-game. This results in a varied and long playing time in which you can
do your daily work under realistic changing weather conditions and seasons.
