All about game Medieval: Total War - Viking Invasion
Medieval: Total War - Viking Invasion is an expansion to Medieval:Total War, adding a new and unique campaign map focused on the Dark Ages invasions of Britain by Scandinavian hordes. By introducing new factions, game mechanics and campaigns that are peculiar to the Nordic incursions, this expansion offers players a fresh look at one of history's most interesting conflicts.
The main focus of the expansion is on recreating the atmosphere and events surrounding these invasions in authentic detail. Players will find themselves thrust into battles between Saxon England and Danish Vikings as they seek to gain control over territories in Britain. The new maps allow for strategic planning when creating armies, as well as providing an insight into how these ancient peoples moved around their nations during war time. In addition to more realistic battle strategies, Viking Invasion also introduces several new game mechanics designed specifically for this period in history. One such mechanic is ‘land-grabbing’ which allows players to claim lands from defeated enemies without having to fight them directly – making it easier for those wishing to expand their empire quickly! Other features include three distinct types of raids (military raids, political raids and economic raids) which can be used strategically against enemy settlements; shipbuilding technology so you can construct your own vessels; improved naval combat with specific sea units; siege engineering improvements that provide additional options while besieging castles or towns; enhanced diplomacy systems where you can negotiate trade agreements with other nations or forge alliances; and even religious conversions so you can spread Christianity amongst your people or attempt conversion missions elsewhere! Overall Medieval: Total War - Viking Invasion has been praised by critics for its immersive gameplay experience that captures both the historical accuracy of the period whilst allowing gamers sufficient freedom within its boundaries. Whether you're looking for an exciting strategy game set during one of Europe's most turbulent times or simply want something different from traditional medieval gaming experiences then this may just be what you are looking for!
