Will there be vikings?

[Digi]

My favourite thing in mount and blade is that you can be a viking. But i found out that Sturgia is more of a russian slav faction... Will they add a viking faction? Maybe in a DLC?

[Bordric]

No not unless mod or dlc

[Dark3nedDragon]

Hopefully if they do it will have stable servers for MP, and a solid SP based off of Viking Conquest

TW hinted something about more nations in the future (since its already confirmed that the map is also gonna be much bigger) so they might also include proper Vikings, who knows.

there is modding, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be up there at some time in future.

There is a Viking Mercenary Clan working for the Sturgians, so you can be a strugian and still be a viking. There are no pure Viking faction at the moment though.

Sturgia is a slav-viking mix. Honestly though, it feels like the only thing slavic about them is the city names. Everything else is basically viking.

Would love to see a Viking conquest for Bannerlord as well.

I dont agree with you. Yes, they look viking ish and their city names are kinda nordic.. BUT their troops strength is just trash. So it completely removes the feeling of commanding vikings.. it feels like commanding a slav that is a wannabe viking.

You can check their blog posts on TaleWorlds forums.

Rumors are there "might be" a Nord-like DLC, maybe others. There's some conspicuous room left on the map... :)

PS: Sturgians can't be Nords/Vikings - They loose too many battles for that. ;)

not everything, some of their helmets and unit designs defenitely are not, in addition to that the lords of sturgia are called boyars. :)

Ehm... In 8-11 centuries Nordic and Slavic cultures were melted. There are only few differences between them. Slavs had to use horses for mobile fight, Normans - use ship. Then less horse... But axes and swords were the same.

Sturgia is kinda like the Kievan Rus, kingdom in Russia formed by the vikings. It feels kinda like a mix of Scandinavian, Slavic and Nordic cultures in general.

There is a Nord mercenary group. Nords come from Nordland which is (obviously) further up North of the map. In Warband Nords have invaded Calradia from their ancestral lands.

Since Bannerlord has that early medieval feeling to it, I wouldnt be surprised to see "Nord invasion dlc" or something like that.

As for now, Sturgia is your general Nordic faction to go with.
