Total War: Attila - Viking Forefathers Culture Pack

In the bitter, windswept north, hard winters breed hard men, and Norse warriors are redoubtable in combat on land and sea. These rugged warships can withstand much punishment before delivering some of the Viking Forefathers’ most powerful and vicious melee warriors – the Chosen Norse Marauders and the Elite Norse Marauders - into the fray. Total War™: ATTILA – Viking Forefathers Culture Pack About the DLC: The Viking Forefathers Culture Pack adds The Norsemen as a new playable culture to Total War™: ATTILA. The Geats: Cold Blood The hardy Geats are raised in icy climates. The Jutes: Despoilers The Jutes are the ultimate profiteers in war, and gain significant income from razing settlements and destroying units in battle. With the Viking Forefathers at their command, players can marshal the forces of The Geats, The Jutes and The Danes as they launch southwards from their icy homelands on campaigns of looting, raiding and conquest. To these natural seafarers and expert coastal raiders, the plentiful lands to the south promise glorious victories and great plunder! Unique mission objectives Players using Norse factions will receive a unique series of mission objectives over the course of the campaign. Unique Faction Traits All Norse factions bear a unique trait which further defines their strengths and play-style in the Grand Campaign. Unique units Each of the three Norse factions can recruit two unique units in battle: Geats Thrall Spears Plentiful and Inexpensive, Thrall Spears can form a defensive backbone for any army. Unique Cultural traits All Norse factions share the Viking Raiders trait, making them expert profiteers from raiding, looting and sacking. Royal Huscarls Disciplined, highly trained and more heavily armoured than other axe units, the Royal Huscarls strike fear – and sharpened steel – into the hearts of their foes.

The Danes: Seaborn Immune to both high-seas attrition and seasickness, The Danes are able to weather the worst maritime conditions and make full use of their land units in naval conflict. Danes The seagoing Danes may recruit the fearsome Drekkar Dragonship manned with two extra varieties of troop options.
