So I've lately seen the Vikingr population has grown and it's almost strong as it was in its golden age.

I was thinking if it was possible to arrange another public even sometimes? It would attract more people and will keep alive our current community.

Pl0x...

Pretty sure that is being worked on atm. (?)

I mean would you think about eating it if you found a little TRex?

The size of a family does not mean that the family is well off or prestigious. Just means that your ancestor liked to get it on. :P

Well that was quick.

I'm really looking forward to it. Anyone else's got more information about it?

Well, we just had the TeamSpeak Gathering Not-Quite-An-Event-Event, then there is the Battle of Sulcoit event which is only lacking a date.

Also, during the TeamSpeak Gathering, some of us did breifly - read; barely talked about - doing a Sheild Wall event somtime.

If a regular event is set, please consider it for once per the month and no more. The shield-wall events we used to run quickly became stale due to weekly regularity.

Indeed, when we did discuss the Sheild Wall event idea, the first conclusion was that holding it every week was a no-go.

Let's just get the Battle of Sulcoit going for now. I really loved these historical-based events.

Duck Hunt!

Willelm vs every other player. Willelm gets his horse/lover, the rest of us gets the repeating shotgun crossbow-thing. Willelm is supposed to survive as long as possible.

If a regular event is set, please consider it for once per the month and no more. The shield-wall events we used to run quickly became stale due to weekly regularity.

Not to mention being 100% devoid of sense. the battle was won by the team that least respected the keep in the shieldwall rule. Shieldwalls DO function but are CONTEXTUAL, forming one on a hill, a field or any place that leaves at least one flank exposed is nothing more than an invitation to be surrounded. PROPER use was seen during the Danegeld event however, where hosts would hold bridges of strategic importance - effectively preventing their opponents from crossing.

It was by far my favourite event and I simply cannot wait for another. In my opinion Conquest is the game mode that allows for the greatest strategic and tactical impact - I DREAM of an event that'll allow LEADERS to shine through the outsmarting of their opponent, I want strategic DEPTH to Vikingr!

By the way, if anyone missed it / is interested, heres some footage of the Danegeld from the FenrisBarn point of view - hope you'll enjoy it!

Most sane people have, I hope. My comment was mainly since Bjorn seems to want a tactical level beyond that which M&B really is about (in my mind). Not saying it's a bad idea, but if you want to command people, the Total War (especially with the Last Kingdom-mod) is brilliant-
