Plans are to run the beta from the 15th of December 2016 - 12th of January 2017. We hope to patch the build a few times during this test session so the sooner you can report issues and suggestions, the sooner we can put out a better build for everyone to check out.

Expeditions: Viking March BETA PASS!
Welcome to the closed Beta Viking community! A special hello to those of you we met at PAX East on the weekend. Development Ragnarok is just around the corner and we need all of our bravest warriors. The gates are open! Redeem the code below on Steam to start the final Expeditions: Viking Beta!

Plans are to run the beta for the next two weeks. We hope to patch the build a few times during this test session so the sooner you can report issues on the Steam forums, the sooner we can put out a newer and better build for everyone. Hooray for teamwork!

YOUTUBE/TWITCH/MEDIA PEOPLE

Please do not stream or make videos of the closed beta until next Friday, that will give us a chance to iron out some of the kinks. After that, go bananas, and feel free to let us know about your coverage, you can hit us up on Facebook or Twitter: @LogicArtists or you can reply to this email.



PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING

Build Status

  • This is a closed beta. Until next Friday the 24th of March please refrain from making any videos or streaming content. Thanks!
  • Do not load old saved games, unfortunately because of a number of changes made to the campaign and quest logic, loading old saved games is likely to break the game logic and present players with bugs that otherwise do not exist!
  • Pressing "Esc" in the Victory/Defeat window will crash today's build. It will be updated in the next few days.
  • The first campaign (Denmark) is complete and has a number of new elements.

  • The second campaign has quite a lot of gameplay along the Northumbria and Pict Quest Lines.

I haven't had much time to play the new beta. I find it buggier than before, but they mostly fixed up my issues with the area map. The AI has been improved quite a bit and now battles are too hard, I tried progressing on insane but I can't even get out of the tutorial (well, technically I could but I reload if I lose a fight).

An update on the 'too hard' - they removed an enemy from each wave of one of the survive for 10 turns fights and that made it a lot easier, and the fight after can be beaten through smart positioning before the fight occurs. The 3 guys can KO you sometimes, so you've got to sneak to the south side and begin the fight behind a barrel so they can't reach you in the first turn.
