Expeditions: Viking - historical Viking RPG from Logic Artists

[Sensuki]

Wouldn't be surprised if it's something different, like what they did with Clandestine, but maybe an RPG.

 

[Avonaeon]

In hindsight, Clandestine was an insane thing to do and I doubt we'll make that big a departure again.

 

[Sensuki]

I moreso meant a non-Expeditions RPG

 

[StaticSpine]

Wow, I helped picts crush Northumbia and missed almost all the Northumbian quests. The only thing left is Althing. I tried to finish the game but I felt underleved and poorly equipped under siege (though I had no problems in any prior fights). I still have several months till the deadline. Are there any ways to gain more experience/get better equipment/get any help during the siege?

 

[purpleblob]

That happened to me in my first playthrough. I don't think there's opportunity to level... but you can still earn $$ by pillaging churches (I believe all of them belong to Northumbria) and win the game by enough prosperity or you can buy scrapes to upgrade weapons/armour before heading to Althing.

Have you done the quest involving the stone slabs that you find across the continent? Completing it gets you the best sword in the game. In general you can improve upon all your equipment by just gathering salvage and hides and crafting (assuming you have a unit with max crafting skills).

If you've done all sidequests for the Picts I doubt you're really underleveled. Combat in this game is too easy and the final battles are not particularly hard anyway. Just make sure every one of your people has a weapon and armor equipped because one of the final battles will involve all of them. Use the extra time to gather resources so you can finish upgrading your village (get either prosperity or power as high as you can).

 

[StaticSpine]

Finished the game yesterday. The hardest fight was the one when you defend your village after Althing. Though after upgrading the fence it became much easier. Final battles were a joke.

Fun game overall. Once again to Avonaeon and everyone in Logic Artists.

 

[Avonaeon]

Thank you! After we release 1.0.6, the next patch (1.0.7) will focus on an extra difficulty slider, as well as some other quality of life stuff, like being able to turn off the camera following enemies and increasing the combat speed.

Heh. It was much needed, but too late for me.

So far the best RPG of the year. We'll see how Larian does.

What is the expected time of release for this patch? Weeks? Months?

 

[Avonaeon]

Hard to say, but a couple of weeks, at least.

Version 1.0.6: New Customisations, Custom Portraits, Toolset
13 SEPTEMBER - JONAS

Hello everyone. You may have noticed Steam updating Expeditions: Viking last week and wondered what we just pushed on you. Hopefully your confusion wasn't too great when you found it updating yet again today. After a summer break and a long test period, we've finally released version 1.0.6 of Expeditions: Viking - and then version 1.0.6.1, which is a hotfix to solve an issue with one of the new features. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Let's talk about the new things we've added in this version!

Custom portraits
In version 1.0.6, all portraits are now loaded from your Documents directory in the folder \My Games\Expeditions Viking\Custom Portraits. If you want to add your own portraits to the game, you must create 5 different versions of each portrait in specific sizes and place them in that directory. The first time you launch the game in 1.0.6, it will write all our portraits into that folder, and you can use those portraits to see how it needs to be set up.

New portraits must meet the following requirements:

• The files can be either .png or .jpg.
  
• Each portrait's filename must end with a keyword that reflects its size: Large, Medium, Small, Tiny, or Camping.
  
• Female portraits must contain the word "Female" anywhere in the filename. Otherwise the portrait will be treated as male (because patriarchy).
  
• Note that the Camping portraits contain a frame. You can just cut that out of an existing portrait with your image editing software of choice.
  
• You can overwrite an existing portrait by simply replacing its files with a set of identically named files in that folder.

If you overwrite an existing portrait, that portrait will be replaced with your new version in your game, without you having to start over in your playthrough. If you want to reset this portrait to the original later, you can simply delete the portrait files from the Custom Portraits folder, and it will be restored by the game next time you launch it.

All portraits included with Expeditions: Viking are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License[creativecommons.org]. In simple terms, you are allowed to remix, tweak, and build upon our work non-commercially, but you must credit Logic Artists or Expeditions: Viking and you must license your new creations under identical terms (no making money off of our work, please!)

If you find that your Custom Portraits folder is empty, it's because something on your computer is denying write access to Expeditions: Viking. In 1.0.6 this was breaking the portraits entirely, which is what 1.0.6.1 was created to address. As per 1.0.6.1 the game will fall back to the internal portraits contained in the data files, but that still means you won't get any portraits written to your custom portraits folder. You can still add new portraits there which will then show up in the game, but if you want to see the original portraits you'll have to find a way to give the game write access to that folder - you can try disabling your firewall and antivirus or just checking your user permissions. If your user account simply doesn't have admin access, you may need to talk to your admin.

Custom localisation and random events
This update also introduces support for loading in custom localisation files and user-created random events. Because of the way the scripting system in Viking works, there is no way for us to let you add new characters with new conversations to the game, but the random events that trigger on the campaign maps and during travel are loaded in dynamically, and now you can add new events yourself or even overwrite existing events.

In other words, you can now write your own damn Aife romance events and stop bothering us about it! :D

Toolset
We have also released our toolset which includes some example files, all of our conversation work files, and the editor we used to set up all our conversations in the game. It comes with a PDF manual with thorough instructions for how to set up your own localisation files or add your own random events. To install the toolset, click on Library in Steam and select Tools from the drop-down. The entry you're looking for is "Expeditions: Viking Editor".

For the next update, we're working on implementing the Steam Workshop into the game to make it easier for our players to share custom events, localisations, and even portraits. Until then, you can still share your creations the old-fashioned way: by uploading them to mod sites or hosting them yourself. We recommend using ModDB or the Nexus.

Change log
Since this update has had a particularly long gestation period (for our standards), we've decided not to include a full change list this time around. Instead, we're bringing you just the highlights. If you wish to know about any particular bug that's been bothering you, which isn't mentioned here, feel free to ask in the comments on this thread.

And many other minor things.

Plans for 1.0.7
In addition to the Steam Workshop support mentioned above, we're planning several new features for 1.0.7.

Iron Man mode is the big one. We would've liked to add that a lot earlier, but we were getting so many crash reports in previous versions of the game that we simply weren't comfortable adding a mode that only allows one savegame. Now that we've addressed all common sources of crashing, we're ready to activate Iron Man mode in the next update. The update will also include a few new tweaks to difficulty including a new slider to improve the equipment used by enemies. Our goal is to make the higher difficulties higher without messing with the lower difficulties.

We're also planning a slew of small quality-of-life tweaks. Probably the most commonly requested change is to give the player some control over the camera tilt, to which we have now acquiesced. We're also adding a combat speed slider and an option to toggle off the automatic camera focus during combat. Finally, we're adding a little more information to some parts of the interface where things were unclear or unexplained.

Please let us know on the forums if you're experiencing any problems with version 1.0.6.1, or if you have any particular requests for small tweaks or improvements you would like to see in 1.0.7. We don't have as much time for the next update as we did for 1.0.6, so don't expect any major changes or additions, but we're always happy to take your feedback regardless of how practical it is

 

[Quillon]

Nice. I was waiting for this.

 

[Stavrophore]

Hmmm i might play this year from release, given how much patching they do. Still i hope they will somehow replace the trashy loot barrels -looting all of skane[the first danish city on the south in act 1] was fucking abysmal.

 

[Starwars]

I'm replaying this right now. It's much improved from when it was released, greatly enjoying it. The atmosphere is really superb, I just fucking love the idea of these games. Roleplaying in historical settings is awesome. And I love the "split" in the campaigns. It's great when you get finish up the first part and head across the sea. Such a cool thing.
Next game though... please look at the looting system again because as of right now, that is easily the worst part of Expeditions: Viking. Just mindlessly clicking all the containers and taking everything feels completely out of touch with the rest of the game. I mean, you don't have to take absolutely everything in Ribe but it's all there, right in your face with no consequences if you take it (well, unless you mess with the few containers marked as owned). Those beautiful areas deserve so much better.

Also, I don't have a save handy anymore but I had one crash with this latest patch. When you're entering the tomb in that village area far to the east of Ribe. I chose to sacrifice 3 thralls to gain entrance. And at the end of the sacrifice dialogue (I think my final choice there was "My thanks" or whatever) the game crashed. However, it managed to autosave there as well so I didn't have to replay a whole bunch of stuff.
But still, maybe something to look into there.

 

[Mark Richard]

Roleplaying in historical settings is awesome.

Hell yeah, can't get enough historical fiction. I imagine it requires a lot of research on the developer's part to achieve such a level of authenticity. If you haven't played it already, check out Expeditions: Conquistador. A major historical figure vanishes and you're left to fulfil his role.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

cant kill gunnar post capture *sad*

Put him in your crew, he's damn handy as the go-and-get-hit-while-I-krump-gitz guy.

 

[veevoir]

Press "Gunnar" to murder

 

[Avonaeon]

Patch 1.0.7 is up for beta testing, for those interested. Instructions here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/445190/discussions/0/1519260397795228935/

Additions worth mentioning is Iron Man, an additional difficulty slider that increases enemy equipment and armour, being able to tilt the camera, combat speed slider, steam workshop support and highlight all toggle.

Version 1.0.7 Available For Testing

Hello. We've just uploaded update 1.0.7 for Expeditions: Viking to the beta branch. As usual we have some new features, some tweaks and improvements, and some bug fixes. The most important new feature is the Iron Man mode, which has been quite some time under way. We also have a bunch of new quality-of-life improvements.

Beta Branch Instructions
If you're willing to help us test the patch, you must change to the Beta branch if you haven't previously done so. Right-click on the game in your Library window and select Properties. Switch to the tab labelled "Betas" and type beta16Viking into the code field. Then click "Check code". A new option will appear in the drop-down called "beta - beta branch". Select it and the game will automatically update to 1.0.7.

Iron Man Mode
Now that the game is mostly stable, we've finally added Iron Man mode. If you start a game in this mode, you will be limited to a single savegame and the game will auto-save over it at regular points during play. We haven't quite gone full roguelike: the game will not delete your save if you die. However, Iron Man mode forces you to live with the consequences of your decisions. To activate Iron Man mode, you need to start a new game and check the Iron Man box in the new difficulty confirmation pop-up window.

Steam Workshop
This version of the game now supports the Steam Workshop. You can use the toolset that we released with 1.0.6 to create new random events, and we've added an uploader for you to submit your events, portrait packs, and fan translations. You can find the toolset in Steam under Library -> Tools -> Expeditions: Viking Editor.

New Options
We've added several new settings requested by players since release. The most important one is probably the ability to control the tilt angle of the camera a little bit. It was previously locked to 60 degrees, but now you can adjust it between 45 degrees and 80 degrees by moving the mouse up and down while holding the right mouse button (similar to how vertical movement controls rotation). You can also choose a fixed angle in the options if you prefer that.

Another addition you may appreciate particularly on subsequent playthroughs is the Combat Speed slider. Use this to speed up the game during combat so you don't have to wait as long for characters to run to their positions or for animations to play out. Finally, we've added a drop-down to adjust how automated camera control is during combat. This has three options: full automation, minimal automation, and enemy turn only. The latter will still focus on all actions during enemy turn but mostly leave the camera alone during your turn.

Change Log
As with patch 1.0.6, we're not going to include every fix and adjustment we've made for this update, but just the highlights.

[Starwars]

Aaaaand finished my replay. Great game, much more enjoyable now than it was on release. Just a lot more stable, the "surprise round" does a lot to take some of the frustrations of combat away, the changes on how to cap out skills are good, resource management/healing injuries while camping feels a bit more balanced. As I said before, my biggest annoyance about the game is the looting system which feels odd and a bit of a timewaster.

I opted into the beta right before I finished the game. I have to say that being able to get up on the palisades for the fight where Skjern is attacked made the fight a *lot* easier than I rememberd it (maybe I remember it wrong though, not sure) but it's fine. Just makes sense.

Great stuff.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Looking forward to play the release version of 1.07. Ironmode from the getgo, baby!

Version 1.0.7: Iron Man Mode, Workshop Integration, New Game Settings
1 NOVEMBER - JONAS

Hello everyone. Today we have released update 1.0.7.1 for Expeditions: Viking. This version contains some major new things, which is why it has been in open beta for almost a month. The most important new feature is the Iron Man mode, but we also have Steam Workshop integration now, as well as a bunch of quality-of-life improvements.

This is going to be the last major update for Expeditions: Viking. We still have a few things we're hoping Unity will get back to us on, so we may release another small patch or two down the line. Same goes if any new major bugs are discovered. The game appears to be in a pretty good shape now though, so we'll be turning our attention towards the next installment.

From the bottom of our hearts, thanks so much for sticking with us so far, and for giving the game another chance despite the rocky launch

Iron Man Mode
Now that the game is mostly stable, we've finally added Iron Man mode. If you start a game in this mode, you will be limited to a single savegame and the game will auto-save over it at regular points during play. We haven't quite gone full roguelike: the game will not delete your save if you die. However, Iron Man mode forces you to live with the consequences of your decisions. To activate Iron Man mode, you need to start a new game and check the Iron Man box in the new difficulty confirmation pop-up window.

Steam Workshop
This version of the game now supports the Steam Workshop. You can use the toolset that we released with 1.0.6 to create new random events, and we've added an uploader for you to submit your events, portrait packs, and fan translations. You can find the toolset in Steam under Library -> Tools -> Expeditions: Viking Editor.

Even if you have no interest in unofficial mods, you may be interested to know that we've published three new random events (in English) in the workshop to demonstrate how the system works. There may be more to follow shortly.

Camera Options
We've added several new settings requested by players since release. The most important one is probably the ability to control the tilt angle of the camera a little bit. It was previously locked to 60 degrees, but now you can adjust it between 45 degrees and 80 degrees by moving the mouse up and down while holding the right mouse button (similar to how vertical movement controls rotation). You can also choose a fixed angle in the options if you prefer that.

Furthermore, we've added a drop-down to adjust how automated camera control is during combat. This has three options: full automation, minimal automation, and enemy turn only. The latter will still focus on all actions during enemy turn but mostly leave the camera alone during your turn.

Combat Speed and Enemy Equipment
Another addition you may appreciate particularly on subsequent playthroughs is the Combat Speed slider. Use this to speed up the game during combat so you don't have to wait as long for characters to run to their positions or for animations to play out. And finally, we have added a new difficulty setting to upgrade enemy equipment throughout the game - just their armour on the lower setting, but also their weapons if you turn it all the way up. This has been built into the presets as well, so you will now encounter substantially more well-equipped enemies on Hard and Insane.

Change Log
As with patch 1.0.6, we're not going to include every fix and adjustment we've made for this update, but just the highlights.

• Reduced the problems with characters sinking into the ground in the mountain cave entrance fight.
  
• Tweaked some hex grids (primarily in York and Hadrian's Wall) so the hexes are better aligned.
  
• Fixed some skill tooltip error messages that weren't quite specific enough, and in some cases outright wrong.
  
• Fixed the skill description for Throwing not being parsed correctly.
  
• Fixed the wreckers in Scarborough showing up after killing everyone in the village, and disabled loot ownership in Maucolyn's house in the same event.
  
• Fixed the fight at the sacrificial glade in Skerninge triggering after Skerninge turns hostile even if there's nobody there.
  
• Fixed an autosave bug that was creating broken autosaves when attacking an occupied campsite.

Thank you guys at Logic Artists so much for addressing all these issues!

For any codexer who's been thinking of getting this, now would be the time. I feel the game has been sadly overlooked by many here because of it's slightly shaky release.

It's been overlooked because of a crowded marketplace of "ageless" and time consuming products, as well as possible (though understandable) miscalculations, like "now" being the time to make a Vikings game (because Vikings are the "in" thing).
