Northern Invasion starts in Northern Europe around 200-100 BC. A charismatic, albeit insane, Norse War Leader has appeared to stir up trouble for his people which threatens to spill over into the rest of Europe. All that stands in his way is a small band of freedom fighters led by a Norse Chief named Vemundr. A veteran of many battles, Vemundr towers over mortal men. Found in many a hall in the north, around warm, inviting hearths, bards weave epic sagas of the warrior clad in white wolf hides. Into battle he charges, snatching victory from certain defeat almost single-handedly.
== Features ==
* Control Chief Vemundr, a Hero unit with abilities that can be upgraded over the course of a mission. Vemundr has two activated abilities and two passive upgrades that can be purchased. Each of these significantly improves Vemundr with the potential to engage and defeat large armies by himself.
* Victory Towers that give victory points and function as defensive structures when captured.
* It can be played solo or cooperatively with a friend.
* Training Camp build units to assist Vemundr in capturing Victory Towers and then holding them against enemy assault.

* Control Warlord Beorix, the Hero unit with abilities that can improve his units and unleash devastating attack of a mission. Beorix has two activated abilities and two passive upgrades.
