1. The game has a fairly high entry threshold, so it is very important to create a character that suits you. Yes, you fill in your gaps by choosing the right satellites, but you cannot always count on them; also, some skills are only affected by the main character.
2. There is no classic set of experience in the game, instead, the only thing you get is skill points, which are used until new skills are acquired or old ones are improved.
3. The game offers different development options. You can be an aggressive, warlike Viking. You can also become a peaceful trader looking for new allies and trade routes. But nothing prevents you from mixing these two styles, everything depends only on you.
4. There are 9 types of raw materials. At the head are valuable things (jewelry), a type of game currency, which includes money, precious stones and jewelry, being the basis for exchange. In addition, you can get wood, which is needed to expand the village. Recycled items and leather are used not only to develop the village, but also to create and repair weapons and armor. And meat is used for food, but it spoils quickly enough. You can create food rations in camps or purchase them in cities. Medicines and herbs are used to heal your injured comrades. The last "raw materials" are slaves. They are very valuable and are used to speed up construction work in your settlement. In addition, you will find items such as clothes, sticks, bubbles, etc. They are used to produce additional items such as torches, traps, or more.
5. You can search boxes, barrels and other items. Sometimes they are the only materials for crafting additional items, but there are also jewelry and raw materials. If you see a red icon when selecting these items, you will have to steal them. In case of failure, the consequences will not be long in coming. In order to track items, hold ALT, which will highlight all items, doors and numbers.
6. You cannot lose story missions. There will always be a decision in the game and the story will continue. The outcome will determine what you get or lose, and how the situation will affect your reputation with the squad, villagers or other characters.
7. Solutions. In almost every conversation, you are faced with a choice. If you come across a character portrait other than a dark silhouette, you can rest assured that this is an important character. After some choices during a conversation, you can see the influence on your companions in the upper right corner. Your decisions will affect the relationship with your team (even with members who are in the camp). In addition, neutral characters can be your enemies or friends, and locals can start to fear or sympathize with you.
8. When you train your warrior in the area of weapons, try to raise the level to the max before moving on to other skills. Thanks to this, your hero will do much more damage, without the need to change weapons. The only exception is when upgrading a shield or other weapon for an archer.
9. During the battle, kill enemies one by one, do not fight all of them at the same time. A warrior with 1 hit point continues to be a dangerous enemy, and over time you will encounter a group larger than yours. Get good equipment. Use tactical skills depending on the situation and narrow passages to fight only one enemy at a time. Attack from the flanks, it does more damage. Make sure that some of your warriors are armed with long weapons (spears, two-handed axes); archers and medics are also useful. Remember that tired and hungry subordinates fight worse.
10. Your main character and comrades cannot be killed during the battle, but they will receive the "incapacitated" status. The more they are in this state, the more damage they will take. If you defeat the enemy quickly, you will have no losses, even if half of your team is on the ground. On the other hand, if someone is injured, you must heal him in the camp using the skills of your companions. The wound can be contagious, resulting in the death of the companion.
11. Relax in nature, as this is a very important aspect of the game. Your squad will only be able to rest, eat and heal wounds in the camps. You can do this in a camp or in places such as a city or settlement. They are scattered all over the map (tent icon), a kind of hideout. Sometimes they are captured by bandits. Then a random duel will await you, after which you can benefit from such a place.
12. Your squad should have at least one good doctor (or two weaker ones). You must have someone who creates herbal medicines, a character with the ability for magic and sorcery. Also bring a good hunter and someone to cook the food. If you want to create weapons, recruit a blacksmith with high crafting and repair characteristics in the Riba.
