The Last Kingdom challenges players to control 13 new factions, including the Vikings themselves, the Saxons, Scots, Irish, Welsh and Norman, and to embark on a campaign to dominate the British Isles. With a wealth of new historical heroes, players can lead a range of new units into battle - including Viking Berserkers, Saxon Huscarles and Fyrdmen - while conducting sieges and epic battles.
You can conduct the campaign on a new map focusing on North Europe, in the continent, in the Isle of England or Iceland or starting from the Norwegian peninsula.
I would prefer a historically authentic mode which only substantially follows the history. Unfortunately we don't have capacity for a more serious work.
So, this mod is also "historically inspired but creatively done" so the work is not perfectly historical... :)

Main information about the game and some important facts:
To unite Norway you have to fulfill the following requirements:
- Occupy the following cities: Niđáros, Selja, Akr, Skiringssalr
- .... and the kill of the leader of Hordaland/Vestfold faction. Its important, that you have to occupy the needed settlements (and eliminated they Faction Leader) before you destroyed the other Norse faction.
Reach the following conditions for Norman baptised:
- Occupy the following cities: Cherbourg, Caen, Rouen, Paris
- At least 30 rounds
About the Fyrd:
The Fyrd was solved with mercenary. This means that only the Saxon factions are able to rent mercenary which is cheap to hire but expensive to sustain.
Fyrd's units:
Hundradeflocc - Missile/Light, poor units (javelin+axe)
Geoguthas - Spear/Light (spear+shield)
Ceorlwerod - Infantry/Heavy (sword+shield)
About the recruit:
- We use a Factional Barrack for the factional units (higher than 70% own culture)
- We use a Reginal Barrack for the regional (AOR) units (regional specific units)
Some important details:
- You can't recruit any units in a village. ( e.g: diplomat)
- We use navigatable Rivers
- The Bards raise 2 the culture of the region
Viking culture: Kingdom of Denmark, Jarldom of Hordaland, Jarldom of Vestfold, Norman clans(early Norman - mixed Norse settlers, from 911) Anglo-Saxons culture: Kingdom of Wessex, Kingdom of Mercia, Kingdom of East Anglia, Kingdom of Northumbria Gaelic culture: Kingdom of Connacht, Kingdom of Munster Celtic culture: Kingdom of Gwynedd, Kingdom of Alba Caroling culture: East Frankish Empire Norman (late) culture: Duchy of Normandy(late Norman - Late period, approx. 1000)
Viking rebel / Saxon rebel / Celtic rebel / Irish rebel / Fries Rebel
- Some settlements and regions contain spelling mistakes and gramatical errors (i.e Scottish settlements)
We are working to sorting these mistakes.
- Sometimes when in combat a General will be 'stuck' in combat and remain fighting even if his unit has been withdrawn or routed. This mainly happens with the AI armies, but does happen with player controlled army also. We are hoping to correct this issue shortly, however we are unsure what is causing this problem.
- The Great Heathen Army, a Danish fleet with various troops, will not attack England as intended. Instead the AI will disembark the troops in Denmark. In the coming patches or versions we hope to have the Great Heathen Army scripted when the Kingdom of Denmark is controlled by the AI.
- Some of the Accents are a little miss-matched. Such as the Welsh, Irish and AI-Viking Faction.
- There is a random Menu crash, however this is a Vanilla issue and cannot be resolved. Fortunately, this crash is very, very rare!
Please feel free to come forward with any bugs or issues you find regarding gameplay! It makes our lives much easier and the issues will get resolved quicker!
