    I was planning on using the some viking and Irish units in typical battle scene, but set the video to the song Prediction of Warfare by a band called Amon Amarth. It's about a viking invasion of Irish shores. Here are the lyrics:

    Ships were prepared
    Weapons and shields
    Sails were raised
    We headed out to sea!

    Norway disappeared in the east
    Our journey had begun
    Helpful winds gave us our speed
    Under a warming sun

    Heading to the emerald land
    A fleet of 50 ships
    An army of two thousand men lead by the king

    On the horizon dark clouds arose
    Thor rode across the black clouds
    As the night rolled in over us
    We felt the wrath of the storm

    That night I was haunted by dreams
    An omen, of what was to come
    The serpent arose from the sea

    Ready to strike
    With hammer in hand
    The serpent in pain,
    twisting in furious rage!
    Fought for its life
    The serpent escaped
    Thor was in rage
    My dreams began to fade

    Woke from dreams
    Sword in my hand
    The break of dawn
    We were closing in on Irish land
    Time to attack
    Grabbed our shields
    We came ashore
    And saw the waiting horde

    The fight was short and deadly intense
    The Irish fought us well
    But as we gained the upperhand
    Their fighting spirit quelled

    Ready to strike
    With swords in our hands
    They struggle with heart
    The Irish fell to our wrath
    Fought for his life
    Their king escaped
    With fury divine
    King Olaf threw his sword



    This is the song:

    Does that sound like a good idea? I already have the battle planned out, but if you do not like the idea we can think of something else.

    That is a most gloriously metal idea!

    How do you feel about Manowar? "Swords into the Wind" would be an excellent song for something like this as well.

    If you have an idea of how the battle would be planned out that would be good too.

    Thank you for the ideas.
    I have only two problems. The texts are pretty good but I don’t like the music. I would like to hear music which is more tipical to that period. I think this music is too modern...

    The „teaser video” is a pretty good idea but unfortunately I don’t have time and energy to create it.
    If you can take this job I would be very happy. But don’t forget that you have to organize the files, you have to cut them, create subtitles and export in the suitable fileformat. If you have capacity to do this than it is good for me.

    ... and also here I’m. I can be very critical.

    Some quotes from Irish manuscripts dating to around 800 AD:

    "We see everyone everywhere,
    and no one sees us:
    the darkness of Adam's sin
    prevents our being discerned"

    -The Wooing of Étaín


    "It was one man against three thousand,
    and I sent them towards death"

    -The Wasting Sickeness of Cú Chulaind


    "A gold-hilted sword in his hand,
    two steely spears with javelin points:
    a shield with a rim of yellow gold
    and a boss of silver"

    -The Exile of the Sons of Uisliu

    A few other nice Gaelic quotes originating the period:

    "Be strong, act manfully, and behold: I shall be with thee."

    -Saint Columba, appearing to King Oswald of Northumbria

    "'Tis no matter to me if I should die this day, so long as my name and the deeds I have done shall be sung for ever more."

    -Cú Chulainn, from the Ulster Cycle

    "The bitter wind is high tonight
    lifting the white locks of the sea.
    Amid such savage storms no fright
    of savage Viking troubles me."

    -Marginalia in an Irish manuscript of Priscian, c.800

    "Fly to Armagh, and communicate my will to the successor of Patrick.
    As for myself, I came here to conquer or die."

    -Attributed to Brian Boruime mac Cennetig, King of Munster and "Emperor" of Ireland before the battle of Clontarf, 1014.
