Vinlandsaga
Develop a small Viking settlement into a transatlantic expedition. Secure enough ships and resources for the crossing, then establish the required colony while dealing with local defenders.
Overview
Develop a small Viking settlement into a transatlantic expedition. Secure enough ships and resources for the crossing, then establish the required colony while dealing with local defenders.
Player approach
Vinlandsaga starts with few economic assets and sparse resources, especially on higher difficulty. Use Deer to establish the first food base and stage an early Greenland expedition before its gold is exhausted.
Step-by-step plan
Move Berserks east to remove the nearby Wolf, then send Villagers to build a Mill by the Deer. Add food and wood workers, and scout the island to clear the remaining Wolves before opening new resource routes. When the first Deer herd runs out, move the hunters to another herd and establish a Dock so Fishing Ships can supplement food. Prepare an escorted crossing to Greenland early enough to secure its gold and continue producing units from the island’s resources.
Risks and adjustments
Food and lumber are limited, so a slow opening can block both Villager production and the invasion. Protect the sparse woodlines, scout for remaining Wolves before sending workers out, and do not wait until Greenland’s gold has been depleted.
