You must have Civ3 installed on a PC computer and patched to v1.29f in order
to play this version of the game. This version will not run properly in any version of PTW.
A
new civilization has been added
to your game and named the "Vikings". The leader for the Vikings is Einar Ragnarsson
and the graphics to support this personality come to us courtesy of Civfantics members Gael
and Pdescobar. The Vikings are Expansionist and Militaristic in the current Firaxis view of the world
and you begin the game with technologies of Pottery and Warrior Code.
The Unique Unit (UU) for the v1.29 version of
the Vikings
is the Galloglass which has identical (6/2/1) statistics to the Berserk in PTW. This
fantastic unit comes to
us courtesy of CivFanatics member Kinboat and here are his historic notes to set a perspective
of how this unit appears in the game:
"Out of the Western Isles of Scotland, crossing the narrow channel to
Antrim in their war galleys, came fighting men. These were the descendants of
Somerled and their clansmen and, being half Norse and half Gael,
they became known as galloglaich, or galloglass, "young foreign warriors".
They came as mercenaries, swords for hire, and they made all the difference in the world.
As one writer states, "They added to the natural bravery of the Gael the fighting blood,
the love of the open sea, the wanderlust, and the weapons of the Norsemen."
The English advance was halted and a Gaelic revival swept Ireland.
For the next three hundred years the English tried to subjugate the island but were unsuccessful,
due in large part to this force from the Isles. Eventually,
in the late 16th Century the English gained a foothold as their increased
technology finally overcame the more primitive fighting techniques of the Celtic
{and Norse} forces."
