Also, provinces are undeveloped by default you have to build the new forest clearing and basic farms structures before you can even build farm upgrades. There are no gunpowder units, and some of the advanced and ethnic units (like Teutonic Knights and camels) are missing. Since the Dark Ages were a step back in terms of technology, the technology tree has been flattened to some degree and altered. The new Viking units make excellent raiders, and are masters of looting enemy provinces. Religion is really only important now if you play the Vikings you'll want to resist converting to Christianity so you can retain your savage effectiveness at sea raiding. The only religions are Christianity and Paganism, as followed by the Vikings. The Pope doesn't exist so you can't be excommunicated for attacking fellow Christians. First off, religion isn't as important in this new setting. With the eight new factions come new units, but most striking of all changes is the new technology tree that comes with the change to a Dark Ages setting instead of a Middle Ages one. The campaign has a total of eight playable factions the other seven are the Irish, Mercians, Northumbrians, Picts, Welsh, Saxons, and Scots.

Two Scandinavian territories, Hordaland and Jutland (modern day Norway and Denmark), are the starting points for the new Viking faction. The new campaign has over 50 territories, with all but two existing on the English and Irish islands.

Eventually, you will unite all of Britain under the banner of one of England or Ireland's indigenous factions, or under Viking domination.ДЄlthough the British Isles existed on the European map in the original game, in the Viking campaign, they've been expanded to accommodate a full campaign of their own. The campaign basically follows the roughly 300 years of history during which the Vikings invaded England while the disparate kingdoms of the Isles were struggling with constant warfare.

The new campaign thus takes place several hundred years before the first era of the original game, and also moves a few hundred miles West to center on England. The game's original three campaigns are still intact, with a few minor enhancements, but the meat of the expansion is the new Vikings campaign, which begins in 793 A.D. This is where you'll find most of the new features. Viking Invasion consists mainly of a new single-player campaign. The new Viking Campaign takes place in the Dark Ages in the British Isles. But rather than thrust barbarian raiders into the original game's Middle Ages campaign of knights and holy crusades, Viking Invasion actually dials back the clock to present the Dark Ages of English history. And like the Mongol Invasion add-on for Shogun: Total War several years ago, it adds new content and features based on the 'barbarians at the gates' concept. The Viking Invasion expansion pack for the complex strategy game, Medieval: Total War, has finally arrived.
