War formula, as well as a completely new campaign map, units, weapons and
features. The game places players in control of eight new factions, including
the Vikings, Saxons, Scots, Irish, Welsh and Picts as they set out to raid,
pillage and conquer the British Isles just as they did over 1200 years ago.
