Game Description: Medieval: Total War: Viking Invasion, the first expansion pack for Medieval: Total War, turns the clock back to 790 AD, when the Viking hordes descended from their Scandinavian strongholds to pillage their neighbours.
Viking Invasion challenges players to control eight new factions, including the Vikings themselves, the Saxons, Scots, Irish, Welsh and Picts, 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 enhanced by the introduction of flaming arrows and boiling oil.
Players can now plan reinforcements and scout enemy formations before taking to the field from a new pre-battle screen. In addition, there will be new playable factions and a new heavy weapon in the shape of the fearsome Organ Gun.
