I think the Normans should have a "low" rank under courage instead of average. Here's why. They always get massacred by the Vikings because their morale drops like a turd. Their knights and archers are badass, but the men-at-arms (the MAIN force of battle) are too easily destroyed by England and Scandinavia, who both have strong offense.

"RAVEN STARVER!" "ILL-BORN RAT!" "SVINAFELL TROLL!" "POT-BELLIED ORC!" *Vikings and Englishmen start crying and running away at the same time*

@doctor
It's the logic of the game. Plus, during this "war", a lot of their comrades have died without your prior notice. Death, pain, isolation, desperation.... Those certain aspects can affect the morale and flow of the war.

Finally got King on the first level on hard mode. The trick is to bring 4-5 archers, 2 varangian guards, and the rest warriors. Take your king and 1-2 warriors quickly along the top row to wipe out the enemy king who stays in the rear. Meanwhile your archers need to waste first the enemy archers and then the enemy charging king while staying behind a shield wall of warriors and varangian guards. Toward the end, your shield wall will be badly damaged, so to avoid losing a unit you must order the shield wall to break and have the most injured 2 guys flee while the last one blocks the enemy shield wall alone for a few rounds.
The rest is just a matter of aim, careful maneuvering, and making sure you move your king into range of the enemy king on a round in which the enemy goes first. That way he can't charge you but you can charge him next round.

I was about to completely destroy an army as the Vikings (high courage stat) when my foe started yelling insults. Within a few rounds, all of my men, including King Harald himself had fled, our 60-something morale having been reduced to 0. Literally just before engaging the final stack in melee. A stack of archers.

1/5 the combat system is awful. It's entirely random. There is a delay of several seconds between when you hit the correct key and when you hitting the key actually registers in game.

Alright, so I've managed King rank on missions 2 and 3 and master general on 1 (all on hard mode). Has anyone managed to get King on mission 1 on hard mode? If so, how did you do it?

One of my favorite strategy games! I hope there will be a sequal, Or even another battle like the battle of Waterloo.

The fact that this command can be given astounds me: "Alright men, shoot your arrows straight up in the air at about a 90 degree angle!" "But sir won't that-" "I AM YOUR KING DO AS I SAY!"

Really great game, the only part i didn't like was having the enemie's entire army outflanked only to be taunted into submission

Simply one of the best strategy games i have ever had the privilege to play. It's simple game play and the amazing story make it so.

seriously one of the best strategy games i have ever played. but when 800 men run from 120 like seriously .. the 800 would have a higher morale because they outnumber their opponents 8-1. na great game well built. 5/5

As Harald Hardrada I could have done with Tostig Godwinson by my side in that first battle, given that both were likely to be at the battle.

Imagine a newer version of 1066, but call it 1944, a game just like this but ww2 based, or even mayby a 1812 version?

If there is a game out there that is worth a sequel, it is this. One of the best I've played, simple, beautiful, and historically correct.
