Norway
Faction Leader: King Haakon IV
Norway starts on islands just off the mainland, and can soon expect reinforcements.
Ireland
Faction Leader: Brian O'Connor
Ireland start off with half of the country in their control, but they will have to wrestle the other provinces from English rule.
Special Features
Forts
The Britannia Campaign introduces permanent forts for the first time. These provide strategic strongholds for attack or defence. Unlike the major towns and castles occupation of a fort does not mean that you control the surrounding region.
Emerging Champions
Each faction has a unique character that emerges during the game. He will have traits that make him a formidable General and will also appear with a large army.
Rebellion on Welsh Border
Simulating historic events, the Welsh, under their self-declared King of Wales, Llewellyn will make attacks along the border between England and Wales.
Dynamic Kings Purse
The King's Purse is a bonus amount of income, irrespective of the wealth generated by cities. The amount awarded by it can change throughout the game. Messages will be sent notifying the player when this happens.
