Wrath of the Norsemen is a modification of Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms, set in the viking age. The aim is to create a mod that is both historical and enjoyable for anyone who has an interest in the early medieval era of history, or is just a little bit too fond of blood and big axes.
Because good farmland in Scandinavia is limited, there are always disinherited sons, looking for wealth and adventure, and these the vikings can provide. Vikings are mariners, traders, pirates, bandits, explorers, soldiers and depending on who you ask, demons, who cross the whale-road, fighting and scheming their way to fear and glory.
Vikings generally raid by sea, striking swiftly from the sea mists, pillaging, and returning just as quickly; but they a are willy race, predatory and cunning, and are perhaps most useful for their adaptability. They can be counted on in most any situation, whether laying siege to a city, working behind enemy lines, constructing fortifications, or even using one of many of the tongues spoken among their diverse ranks.
Vikings have the advantage fighting with whom they chose, and as such, their morale is strong, and because incompetent vikings are dead vikings, they are capable to a man. Any warlord should be honored to have such men under his command.
"Oh Lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen, deliver us." - Christian prayer
