The Storm-Driver of the North ally recruitment
The Storm-Driver of the North offers four allies, but recruiting all of them can be difficult on higher difficulties. Secure the simpler Danes and Saxons objectives while a second force prepares the Viking gate.
Overview
The Storm-Driver of the North offers four allies, but recruiting all of them can be difficult on higher difficulties. Secure the simpler Danes and Saxons objectives while a second force prepares the Viking gate.
Plan and execution
Send the initial force to destroy the Danes’ three Siege Workshops, training a second group at home. Build a Monastery and send a Monk with a Relic to the Saxons. If a Ram becomes available, use it to break the gate to the Viking Docks while melee units protect it. Take the Viking objective only after the first two allies are secured and the gate approach is reinforced.
Risks and adaptation
Trying to complete every side objective at once can split the army too thinly. Protect the Ram from melee attacks and keep reinforcements moving toward the gate.
