After more than two years since the release of the first version the Vikingr development team is proud to present the final form of Vikingr 1.0. In the attempt to represent a wide selection of the old northern European peoples the Engle, Normant, Rus and Goídil have received a lot of attention in the previous patches. With this patch, after much tweaking and polishing, the Norðmenn themselves see a final overhaul with much of their old content reworked and expanded, to take their worthy place as namesake of the mod.
This is a new release which includes important bug fixes and other improvements to the mod. You can find the full changelog both of the new fix (which doesn't change the version number) and of the original 1.0 version below.
