CAMPAIGN · VICTORS AND VANQUISHED
Karlsefni
Thorfinn Karlsefni leads a small Norse party west into unfamiliar waters. Settle the islands along the route, manage a very low population limit, and build enough strength to overcome the Irish presence on Iceland.
Overview
Thorfinn Karlsefni leads a small Norse party west into unfamiliar waters. Settle the islands along the route, manage a very low population limit, and build enough strength to overcome the Irish presence on Iceland.
Player approach
Karlsefni begins with a tiny economy and a hero needed for most early combat. Retrieve Ingolfr by ship, then land only after the Icelandic coast is scouted and a safe base site is chosen.
Step-by-step plan
Put the two Villagers on Sheep and gather the wood needed for a Mining Camp, Town Center, and Transport Ship repairs. Use a single Fishing Ship as extra food support, then sail northwest to recover Ingolfr and return him to the Villagers. Cross to Iceland and establish the Town Center without landing beside the Woad Raiders; use the Transport to reposition and keep Ingolfr healing between small fights.
Risks and adjustments
The opening economy is fragile and the hero cannot fight repeated groups without recovery. Do not disembark beside the Woad Raiders before the base is ready, and preserve enough wood to repair the ship on the damaging sea crossing.
