After more than two years since the release of the first version the Vikingr development team is proud to present Vikingr 1.0. In the attempt to represent a wide selection of the old northern european peoples the Engle, Normant, Rus and Goídil have received a lot of attention in the previous patches. With this patch, after much tweaking and polishing, the Norðmenn themselves see a final overhaul with much of their old content reworked and expanded, to take their worthy place as namesake of the mod.
Note that Vikingr is installed as a stand-alone version that does not require Steam. The installer contains the necessary files for it to be placed outside the Module folder, so it can be set up anywhere on your hard drive, but you may need to enter your warband-key after first installation. In case you only have a 5x5 steam key you could take a look at this thread.

To start you merely need to click the automatically created Vikingr-shortcut on your desktop. The installer will create two shortcuts, with the main one using a special program to randomize the loadscreen. If you have problems with this, simply use the other shortcut.
If you have problems with connecting to the server. It will say "unable to connect to server", this might help:
