1066: Year of Viking Destiny – Playing William the Conqueror, Normandy (Deity)<\/h1>\n

\"Civilization<\/a>Playing Normandy in the “1066: Year of Viking Destiny” Scenario for Civilization 5 is not much different from playing Denmark<\/a> or Norway<\/a>: You’ll invade with everything you got and produce reinforcements at home.<\/p>\n

You’ll have all reason to be optimistic: Your initial forces are sufficient to advance deeply into England<\/a> without even having to wait for backup from home in Normandy. Also: Both Norway and Denmark have to deal with heavy English resistance in the north and London. For you the south and the west are ripe for the taking!<\/p>\n

See, I have taken England with both my hands.

Time to Stitch a Tapestry – Strategy<\/h2>\n

Although you might not need reinforcements at the start, I’ll start with the build order for home regardless:<\/p>\n

Build order<\/h3>\n

Initially I tried building Ironworks in Caen for more production, but that was a waste of time – you’ll capture Anglo-Saxon cities without Workshops<\/strong> before you can finish, so focus on National Treasury first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

“Time to Stitch a Tapestry” is fitting title for this achievement: It refers to the Bayeux Tapestry<\/a>, a 70 meter<\/strong> long embroidered cloth depicting the Norman conquest and the events leading to it!<\/p>\n
