New Scenarios:

Ragnar Lothbrok
Unleash your inner Viking! Send your warbands across the sea on a massive map of Northern Europe. All big empires start from humble origins, and yours will be no different. Begin with raids to pay and recruit warriors. Then capture jarldoms in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden to grow your power. As you become king, more possibilities are at your fingertips: use your achievements to unlock technologies, find powerful heroes, raid wherever you want to, and even worship the gods for bonuses.

Otto the Great
You are surrounded by enemies: fearsome Vikings, horse-riding Magyars, and stalwart Franks. But, though you are king, your power is not absolute. You have three vassals. These can be your very best friends, helping you achieve your ambition to become Holy Roman Emperor… or, they will be rebellious thorn in your side.
Balance your power against theirs and use well-timed gifts to keep them in line.

Oda Nobunaga
Choose to play as one of six different unique factions. Will you lead the Takeda and crush your enemies with the best cavalry in Japan? Or, will you command the Otomo and find your advantage in the arrival of strange people with new weapons?
Or, if subterfuge and assassination is more your style, try the Mori clan and leverage your criminal network to recruit unsavory characters.

Victors and Vanquished will be launching soon, and you can pre-order today and receive a 15% discount! Victors and Vanquished comes to PC and Xbox on March 14th 2024.

I'm alright with this, especially since these expansions are so reasonably priced. This one is only 12 bucks I believe and offers how many hours of entertainment?
