In the new Facebook MMO Vikings of Thule, you can choose from a number of male and female Viking avatars and customise their appearance with over 100 beautifully designed weapons, armour, shields, clothing, jewellery and other exquisite items. Your taste for luxury will make you grow stronger in battle, qualify for higher ranks and earn the respect of your followers and friends as well as your foes.
The game will test your management capabilities and your strategic thinking. As you buy land and expand your territory, more and more followers will support your leadership. You will be able to manage your followers and convert them into peasants, huskarls, jarls and berserkers.
The game introduces a battle system that will test your own avatar’s abilities as well as your own. You can choose to fight using your avatar, your fearless army of berserkers or Iceland’s mythical beasts, the wights.
More than 50 animated moves can be played out in battle and as you become victorious, your avatar, wights and army will become stronger and more agile. Through wagers (optional bets between you and your foe(s)), the winnings of a single battle could be significant. Use your winnings to buy better weapons, more powerful moves, stronger armour, and runes to cast devastating spells in battle.
Vikings of Thule employs a simple micro payment system, which will greatly deepen your game experience. By buying silver coins, you will be able to buy valuable in-game limited edition items inspired by Norse mythology and the old Viking sagas.
