I recently started playing 2 different campaigns - Mercia and Northumbria. Playing both in M/M difficulty.

1) Mercia - 30 turns in I got wiped out by East Angles, but it was self-inflicted since I made poor strategic choices.

2) Northumbria - 45 turns in, 2 factions already eliminated (West Saxons and Leinster), got attacked by Mercia, beat them badly in a single battle. Next turn got attacked by East Angles with an almost full-stack army, they pushed me out of 2 settlements immediately. I think I'll be wiped out in the next 10 turns.

Definitely a challenging mod.

Wondering if you could fix the big unit cards since they look a bit off, I imagine because it relys on the way the UI looks?

you can also add the viking invasion logo on the main menu very easily too!

Yes the unit cards need to be modernized a bit. I can fix the stuff on the main menu easily.

Tried couple of campaigns. Battles are not hard, but regions are often not developed at all and it's tough to fight many wars at once. In my Ulaid campaign I fought against Norwegians barely surviving. When other Irish faction attacked me, i stood no chance.

But Wales, that's a tough one. I united Wales, lost Cornwall, then waged long war against Mercia, depleting them badly. Northumbria, my allies, betrayed me, so I had to fight against three Anglosaxon kingdoms at once.

And then the Vikings from Norway landed on my western shores, with a powerful stack. Tried to stop them with a motley crew of peasants, mercs and spearmen I love hopeless campaigns and Wales in this mod is really epic. I would keep on fighting, but my save got corrupted.

But apart from that, it's a nice mod which doesn't turn into a cakewalk in a midgame.

Every unit model needs to stop looking like peasants. It's confusing everything from ships to archers to heavy infantry looks like peasants.

@reidj062 have you tried changing graphics scheme from vibrant to realistic?

West Saxons start with zero gold for some reason, is that on purpose?

@Mitch, yes it's by design. The original Viking Invasion mod also had the West Saxons starting with 0 treasury. The original modder wanted to make the West Saxons campaign a real challenge.
