VikingJourney

Experience the impressive realistic 3D-World of Ulfberth, the Viking in the 8th Century - lost on an desolated island in the baltic sea. Setup and manage an economy, fight your enemies - survive with tricks and power and rise to be mighty jarl - on the way to Haithabu.

Historically, the Vikings were real allrounders: ingenious explorers, merchants, fighters and sailors. They understood, much better than any other people at that time the art of economics. From their trading centers in the Baltic Sea, Birka and Haithabu they sailed the seas and developed extensive trade routes from Russia to the Mediterranean.

Back into the Year 853 a.d
The game considers all aspects of Vikingism in a fantastic and realistic 3D world - trade, economics, and combat to the degree that they may have been in the real life of a Viking. To describe VikingJourneys genre best, think of the popular formats like Myst (or Riven), Siedler and Medieval War. But story transferred into the year 853 a.d.

The Economy
Goal is to build a robust economic system with a flourishing maritime trade under realistic climatic and seasonal conditions. Only with the income of your island production and the reward of fullfilled tasks you’re able to fullfill the claims of your lord - Thorvaldson.

Schlachten & Kämpfe
The multitude of enemies are the biggest threat to your prosperity and your life. They invade your island and bring death. As a loyal swordsman of Thorvaldson, you will receive guards with which you can protect your village.

Power & Intrigues
Some of the inhabitants have turned away from the old faith and became Christians. They keep their new faith in secret and are no longer well-disposed to you. They want to spread their new faith, but you and your followers are a big obstacle. Therefore they try to sabotage all your efforts to let the island grow to prosperity and power. They burn down houses, grapple with your enemies, they do not even shrink from murder. You have to identify them quickly and make them harmless, because the damage they do is significant and will eventually lead to your destruction.

Other information about the game:
* The costs, prices, taxes, flows of goods and materials, but especially the interconnectedness and interdependence, take into account all the components of todays economy and production system.
* The presentation of the figures, the calendar and the seasons, are largely based on historical traditions and geographical conditions. At the presentation of battle scenes, however, in order to increase the thrill, we have used a little bit of fantasy.
* The in-game time of the game is divided so that 1 hour of real time means a day in-game. This results in a varied and long playing time in which you can do your daily work under realistic changing weather conditions and seasons.
