Thrones of Britannia Gets New Cinematic Trailer

The Viking invasion of the 9th Century changed the course of British history. Norsemen flooded the land seeking spoils and glory, but many chose to stay and established their influence across the north of England and East Anglia.

In Thrones of Britannia players can carve out their own kingdom of Danelaw, playing as one of two factions of the Great Viking Army (Northymbre and East Engle).

In a new cinematic trailer released today, we meet Guthfrid, King of Viking Northymbre. He began life as a slave but now his prosperous kingdom is an attractive target for a new wave of invaders.

After achieving any long victory condition, players of Thrones of Britannia must brace for war as powerful armies will arrive to take what is theirs. If they can withstand and overcome this onslaught they will be awarded the highest honour, an Ultimate Victory and, in turn, the ultimate bragging rights will be theirs.

John Breeden II
As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
