I wish wulfrik had the ship horde mechanic that the vampire coast had. Would allow you to go for a more pillaging and wandering playstyle as opposed to the classic "unite the tribes and then push south into the empire" approach

Absolutely loved the video! I adora thematic campaigns and armies, and Norsca as well. What a jackpot of a vid. Lovely content as usual!

The norsca rework needs to include an official reskin for the maurader units. They should be wearing furs, leather and plate considering they live in a land of perpetual snow and ice. They shouldn't be half dressed. It'd go a long way to making them more thematically appropriate and separating them from Warriors of chaos. The reskin and a heavy focus on their unique units like Skin wolves, Frost trolls and Mammoths. These are unique cool units that also help differentiate Norsca from WoC. The rework is desperately needed ASAP.

Totally Accurate Battle Simulator

These are really creative and i've loved every one of them

Norsca needs a big buff amd a big dlc, they should be much more then just Chaos Lite

As a Norwegian i can call this an absolute win, because i indeed can fire magic, and i have my lwb werewolf scout.

I love educational videos like this.

This video was on another level

Love these new formats :)

I really wish certain races could embark and disembark without losing all of their movement. The Vampire Coast and Norsca for sure, and maybe the Dark Elves. It would be awful to play against, but that honestly feels appropriate for factions of coastal raiders.

loving these themed gimicky army videos

Using Johann Heggs (Amon Amarth singer) "Great Heathen Army" soundbit would've been perfect

Excellent commentary for this video 😂

Great video, thank you!

Love your creative videos

"The Norscans do realise that if they kill us all, the island is just going to sink and take them all with it, right?"

that end screen where morathi is happy is gold

i like those types of vids can you do same British empire tactics and more napoleon

Instead of a close nit wedge I believe the Romans opted for a long straight line that can encircle the flank of the opposing army if your worried about being flanked After a lot of trial and error

This series is great. Its almost a bit like you old campaign lets plays, but in a more condensed way. Highly enjoying it! Also, agreed on old flamestorm. Looked much better then the new version.

Apparently Wulfrik thought the same, and kept finding giant mammoths to ride while pillaging around the donut.

I hope that Norsca will finally get their dlc with more human units, more on the Vikings side. Also maybe playable Skeggi as a faction (who were more "civilised" norscans) which tamed and even rided some dinosaurs.

Vikings did in fact use dogs in battle

Well versed in fire magic lol - luv it!

Bruh you got me with that "who needs tactics when you're a viking? Just hit things until are dead"

"Sailing 40 days and nights or 3 turns" got me 😂

Last time I played wulfrik (I usually play throg) i made it my mission to wipe out all elves from existence. I'm glad that you too see this as a noblr goal

I used to bring these builds to mp as Chaos before Norsca were even added, got a couple wins too!

Im so dissapointed that the formation Vikings were so proud of was so bad. Cant believe they didnt account for dragons.

You sound like you’re fun at parties. Not everyone plays the game the same way. There is no right or wrong way to play it. If it takes him 100 turns to take Norsca, let it take 100 turns?

I have avoided Be'lakor by paying him some early gifts and slowly turning him into an ally.

I'm trying to think about how I would counter this strategy if I were the elves. My thought would be to drive a large portion of my troops after you, but then set up another army to cut you off on your other side, perhaps via ambush, but mostly to drive you onto the water south and/or west of the donut, then race an army towards Norsca to tear apart your infrastructure
