Tips
  • The enemy's resistance is futile.
  • You can walk through the river on a sandbar.
  • Build up your settlement while searching for Thordal.
  • A stone quarry is available in the area where you build hunter huts, but stone may not be necessary.
  • The village only wants cattle farms, not pastures.
  • When the mead is delivered, the vikings will help you.
  • The troops at the start of the REKKYR map drain gold; you can pay them nothing once you reach sheriff.
  • Put the baker on stockpile to avoid running out of grain.
  • The bears are tough.
