Our guidance
How do I effectively manage my crew during a raid?
You should prioritize keeping your team alive, as fallen friends can be revived by kneeling beside them and using a health potion. Additionally, hired warriors and archers will follow your lead throughout the combat encounter.
What is the primary objective when selecting a target on the map table?
The map table displays the danger level and potential plunder for each settlement. You must weigh these factors to decide which target to raid, keeping in mind that failing a raid results in losing half your plunder.
How does the combat system function during a raid?
Combat features five distinct fighting styles, including dual wielding and greatswords. You can utilize blocks, parries, and dodges to survive, with well-timed parries leaving enemies vulnerable to a riposte for increased damage output.
The village treasury collects the gold you bring back from successful raids. You can spend this gold to unlock new buildings around the village, helping your community grow and thrive between your dangerous expeditions across the sea.
How do I use runes to gain an advantage in combat?
Fifteen unique runes carry the magic of the North, allowing you to set enemies ablaze, freeze their blood, or harden your body like steel. Each rune can only be carried by one warrior at a time during a raid.
What happens if my hired warriors fall during a raid?
Hired warriors and archers serve for a single raid. If they fall in battle, they do not come back. However, if you manage to bring them home alive, a portion of their hiring fee is returned to your treasury.
When you are not raiding, you can unwind in the tavern. You can listen to the band or challenge your friends to a beer drinking race. The last person remaining in their chair wins, while the losers stay drunk.
What are the benefits of performing a well-timed parry?
Combat relies on precise timing. When you execute a well-timed parry, you leave the enemy open to a deadly riposte. This move allows you to deal significant damage and is essential for surviving encounters with various settlement defenders.
How do I start an attack once I reach a settlement?
After you row your longship across the water and successfully run the ship onto the beach, you must blow the war horn. This action signals the start of the attack, prompting your crew to engage the settlement's guards and archers.
Are there different ways to approach melee combat?
Yes, you can choose from five distinct fighting styles, including short weapons, weapon and shield, axes, greatswords, or dual wielding. Each weapon and shield features its own unique stats, allowing you to customize your approach to every combat encounter.
