The Matherian Viking Skjaldborg (for Anno Domini: 768)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀    

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀





The Matherian Viking Skjaldborg is a large set of realistic Viking shields intended to give the player the same vibes of an authentic Viking combat reenactment event.

Similarly to the Matherian Viking Fleets, the aim is to do justice to all those players who lacked an authentic Viking conquest experience while treading the European battlefields of Age of Charlemagne. In this regard, I made my very best to evoke (albeit on a smaller scale) the same visual effect which excellent mods like 'Shieldwall' or 'Immersive Shields and Armies' were able to obtain with Thrones of Britannia.

Danes, Viking Rebels, Viking Separatists or simple Viking mercenaries will be now provided with a high variety of nasty/ruined, well used shields, all painted with very typical Norse patterns and artworks.



In order to give you the best possible experience, please note I released 3 different versions of the very same mod :

1. a standalone for AoC Vanilla

2. a submod for AD 768

3. a submod for AD 919



Because I truly consider AD 768 and AD 919 the best available overhaul mods for AoC so far, which makes nearly impossible for me to let them go while enjoying my personal modifications ;)

>> In this regard, PLEASE BE INFORMED THIS ISN'T ANY Anno Domini TEAM's official release, but a mere tribute that I hope will garner further attention and effort towards their wonderful work <<



1. Just subscribe for this edition if you want all Viking factions and troops being equipped with the Shields Set while playing an AD 768 campaign or custom battle. This obviously implies that the present edition IS NOT a standalone version, and you'll need to previously install all the parts of "Anno Domini: 768" in order to make my mod properly run and work. In case you wanna use the Shields Set without any Anno Domini mod, please refer to the Standalone version for AoC

2. Make sure to set top priority for the mod through your Steam Total War Mod Manager

REMEMBER, you can definitely subscribe for ALL THE EDITIONS of my mod at once : JUST BE SURE to properly activate/deactivate them before launching the game (always through your Steam's Mod Manager) depending on the Anno Domini mod you're possibly using at that very moment.



>> Please be aware this is not intended as a 100% historically accurate mod as the main goal is to provide an epic, fitting visual effect. We're talking of a believable, strong historical foundation with some personal, artistic liberties that should be taken as what it is : a simple enjoyable alternative to the Vanilla version.

>> This is just a very first Beta release. With this in mind, nothing from your current saved games should get broken as the mod doesn't touch anything but the graphic asset of your Danes, separatist vikings, Viking rebels and Mercenaries. Said that, please feel free to report any potential issue on the conversation below and I'll do my best to assist u asap.



>> The mod is supposed to work in parallel (and without any kind of problem) with the following mods :

The Matherian Viking Fleet (For AOC)

Olympian Campaign Camera - Extreme Edition

Olympian Battle Camera

Anno Domini: 768 - AOC Historical Reskin
