Karlsefni Iceland landing plan
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.
Overview
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.
Plan and execution
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 adaptation
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.
