| Difficulty | Modifications | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | Runes do not have to be sacrificed 100% more resource generation 50% less enemy damage 50% less health points for enemies |
You are a pretty inexperienced warrior, and you're always trying to avoid confrontation. Your combat skills are limited. You don't like urban development either, as you prefer to let others build houses. You're hoping that the gods will have mercy on you during your journey. Just believe that as long as you honor Odin, he will protect you! |
| Normal | No modifications | You are a good fighter. That's it. You already have built houses, maybe even entire cities. You don't rely on luck or mercy of your gods. You are the architect of your own fortune - so dare to step into this adventure and grow into an experienced warrior! |
| Hard | 50% more enemy damage 50% more health points for enemies |
You are an experienced fighter and an expert in city building. You've already been on a few raids and you've gained a lot of experience in battles. You are constantly looking for new challenges to impress the gods. Go and master your journey with courage and perspicacity, and your name will be known for all time. |
| Hel | 100% more enemy damage 50% more health points for enemies |
You are a very skilled warrior and builder. You have witnessed numerous raids and built a number of cities. There are no more challenges for you to conquer. You want the approval of the gods so badly that it has driven you mad, and you tend to take on more and more risks during your journey. Be careful that your high spirits don't get you into trouble! |
Gameplay basics
To restore health you need to eat. To restore stamina you need to drink.
There are two types of attacks. Standard attacks do not require Stamina. Power attacks deal more damage but require Stamina.
When blocking use the mouse cursor to change the direction of the shield. The shield must be in the way of an attack to block it.
City
The first building of any city is the Mead Hall. At it you can upgrade your fighting abilities and some of your equipment for Hack Silver and Gold Coins. You can also upgrade the mead hall to expand your city and get more building sites.
