I thought a small teaser was in order since I've started reworking the units after some time off modding.
At the moment we, the WotN team, have several modellers/skinners working on improving and remaking the units in our beloved mod. (This will not increase the time to release as work on the campaign stuff are being taken care of by other modders.)
Here's my latest addition, for your pleasure:
Fátœkis-fölk
Armament: Seaxes/axes and 3 petty javelins
Clothing: Linen
Unit size: Huge
Moral: Poor
Unit description: Fátœkis-fölk consists of poor people; farmers, fishermen and traders (people from the "Carl" Class) who has been levied in to the viking host. Not bred for war, these men tend to be survival oriented, running away when true warriors would stay and fight. They care little for the well being of their lord and less for his personal power, but will gladly defend their land if it is required of them.
They are armed with whatever implements that could come in handy (large knives and axes), a small wooden shield, and a few javelins. They are tactically flexible, fast moving, and can hide easily, but they should not be relied on to hold a crucial position.
It can be useful to summon a great host of men, regardless of their skill and experience, and sometimes a breach must be filled regardless of how long it will hold. Understand though, that Fátœkis-fölk will be slain, and quickly, if committed to more fierce foemen. On the other hand, such bloodshed comes at a good price.
"At morning dawn we will collect the peasants, and count heads.
The troop will be small for the surrounding space; but they will fight for life, and the others for scanty booty. "
