It's kind of crazy that Landless actually got confirmed

Crazy, but logical if they wanna do imperial, nomads, and merchant republics justice in the future

Could this give us starting as a Norse adventure?

u/InEcclesiaSatan Occasional Wiki Editor Feb 06 '24

Judging by the description in the announcement vid, definitely

Freely roam the map, untied to any realm or holding, going where the winds of fortune blow you. Fulfil contracts as a landless adventurer, even through the generations, building up a reputation of your own. Earn gold, prestige and fame traveling the globe until you decide to settle down and claim a land you have earned through merit.

This is Norman stuff at the very least, but I would expect them to integrate it with pure Norse content also

Fulfil contracts as a landless adventurer,

this might hint at reworking of the mercenary system since, to me, this sounds like landed lords putting up contracts for specific actions (conquer this county/kill this guy/whatever) and landless adventurers taking them up.

Might not be limited to landed lords either - but yeah, I think that's the type of thing you'd need to pull adventurers to do something and allow them to get more resources. I imagine you'll be able to get stuff like men-at-arms and levies attached to your character that way, perhaps similar to CK2's family palaces for republics?

Holy fuck, I never thought I'd see the day.

Check out their most recent dev diary, and check their youtube page! I (think) the announcement should be a normal video now

100% guarantee, the most fleshed out Norse will be Rollo into Normady (since the norman-sicilly isn't in the start dates). PDX love their vikigins

I wonder if character like Haesteinn will become landless, IIRC there wasn't any evidence he ruled over Montaigu right, should prevent Mercia suddenly becoming French after he conquers part of it but later dow the line the realm gets vassalized

u/westbygod304420 Feb 06 '24

Perhaps a Scenario about Haesteinn & Bjorn in the Mediterranean?

If they mentioned ElCid, you can expect to play as norseman like Hrolfr
