The year is 968 C.E. Welcome to the dawn of kingdoms. The past few centuries have been dark and full of corruption, evil and greed. After the Roman Empire fell in the West, chaos ran rampant as Germanic tribes began to take what they could of the Roman lands and create their own tribal kingdoms all over Europe. These kingdoms have been solidified and now many great leaders are at their helms. However, the threat of the Vikingar has long been looming, and their armies have slowly shifted from raiding warbands to full blown armies. Each kingdom must beware of their armies, for they are a force to be reckoned with. The Muslims from the South and the East are slowly encroaching upon Christian Europe as well; their armies are strong and their culture is advanced, and must be feared as well. The "Heiðinn Veðr" is coming, and must be defended against - for the good of the people of Europe.

The sagittarii are archers wielding the powerful self bow - a Germanic style longbow - providing long-range cover for the cavalry charges.These men make up the backbone of the infantry division, and should keep the cavalry covered from archers and other cavalry.
