In this game the player creates armies, and sends them out to fight and conquer. The game plays out in Viking Age Europe, with a Norse Mythology Fantasy setting. The player can choose between 4 races; Humans, Dwarfes, Elves and Trolls. Upon starting the game, the player is presented with quests from the gods. Completing quests will reward the player with gifts, which can be used to aid his armies. Gifts can consist of strong units, or items increasing a unit`s strength. An overview map of Europe, shows the player`s own armies and cities, as well as neutral and enemy armies and cities. Neutral and enemy cities can be conquered. When 2 armies collide, a battlefield is displayed, showing the players and the enemy`s units. You move your unit by clicking on the ground infront of it. To attack you click on the enemy unit you wish to attack. Some units needs to be moved next to an enemy unit to attack it, while others can fire at the enemy from afar. When a unit is attacked, it has a chance of avoiding damage, by blocking or dodging. If a unit blocks, it will retaliate against the attacker.
