Skalds were storytellers more than literal bards. They recited sagas in front of the meadhall to tell the tale of illustrious northmen. I guess some of them probably had instruments but that really wasn't their main method.

Thanks for the history lesson, I really didn't know anything about that! And it's vital information considering this mod strives to be as historically accurate as possible! Your suggestion is like the umpteenth huscarl troop and I'd rather see some diversity.

Thats the downside of me actually being a historian, pretty much everyone at the time wore some pretty standard gear.
kind of ruins the accuracy of the mod for me to see fighting styles 4 centuries apart on the same fighting force. That said the mod is still a lot of fun. Unless you were being sarcastic, in which case You sir are a blackguard and I shall see you on the field of honour!

I'm confused ??? Neither Warband nor especially Nord Invasion is trying to portray an historical period accurately, as an historian I think you should know that
