Overview
As a Jarl, you travel the northern seas to achieve immortal glory. Under the sails of your own ship, which is built like a karve (Karvi), you‘ll lead a crew, trade with foreign cultures and plunder other lands. Strengthen the skills of your crew by upgrading your ship and hiring stronger warriors. Whether you wish to establish new trade routes to secure rare goods or battle distant settlements to plunder their riches, your path to glory is yours to choose. But make sure to remember to stock up on beer and bread, so you have enough supplies to utmaneuver the competing clans. Successful planning will make you renowned throughout the lands, and secure your place in Norse legend as a fearless Jarl. —description from the publisher Als Jarl bereist du die nördlichen Meere, um unsterblichen Ruhm zu erlangen. Unter dem Segel deines eigenen Schiffs in der Bauart einer Karve (Karvi) führst du eine Crew an, handelst mit fremden Kulturen und plünderst Ländereien. Verstärke die Fähigkeiten deiner Besatzung, indem du dein Schiff ausbaust und immer stärkere Kriegerinnen anheuerst. Ob du neue Handelsrouten etablierst, um dir seltene Handelsgüter zu sichern oder ob du gegen ferne Siedlungen in den Kampf ziehst und ihre Reichtümer plünderst, entscheidest du. Doch denke auch daran, dich mit genügend Vorräten an Bier und Brot einzudecken, um die konkurrierenden Clans auszustechen. Nur wenn du erfolgreich taktierst, wird man deinen Namen schließlich an genügend Orten kennen, um als Jarl in die nordischen Legenden einzugehen. —description from the publisher (German)
