Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking fast, real-time battles rather than turn-based phases and seasonal restrictions

- Players who want a short campaign, since scenarios can span from 700 AD to shortly after 1100 AD
Our take on Age of Viking Conquest
The store framing centers on Viking dominance across Europe, while the actual structure is a phase-based strategy game with relatively simple actions. Seasonal restrictions, Victory Point conditions, and region-by-region management define the play more directly than the broad conquest premise suggests.
What is Age of Viking Conquest?
Lead Sweden, Norway, or Denmark through Viking-era campaigns spanning Europe.
Expand by capturing regions, defeating rival forces, and earning Victory Points, with victory determined by the selected scenario and custom settings. About 130 regions have varying income and VP values, while minor countries defend many areas. Each turn moves through construction and other economic actions, movement, and combat; winter restricts movement and activities. Armies and ships support land and naval operations, including amphibious attacks, raids, trade posts, fortification, and espionage. Three scenarios begin in 700 AD, 850 AD, or 1000 AD. Major powers can be controlled by people or the computer, with hotseat play available and an optional 4. 00-minute limit per player.
