Hello all! We are so excited to be bringing Reforged Edition out for the Viking Conquest DLC today.

Over the past 7 months since it released, Viking Conquest has made a massive transformation and Reforged Edition marks the biggest change yet with such a long list of improvements and fixes.

For us, it is an honour to be releasing the update to the community, who has been so supportive of us at TaleWorlds and the developers, Brytenwalda and we are really excited to see the reaction!

The update is free to all owners of the DLC and included in all new purchases. Here is a list of the major new features in the update:

Viking Conquest Reforged Edition is a completely free update to all owners of Viking Conquest, which adds a host of new features and content as well as re-balancing and fixing previous issues with the DLC. Play through an all new storyline set in dark, mysterious Ireland, befriend a canine companion and master the art of fighting with the unpredictable Berserker units. Rekindle your passion for Viking warfare and reforge your path in this much improved version.

• The Last Tuatha De Danann
  All new story, set in dark, mysterious Ireland where nothing is what it seems and truths are hidden...
  
• Hofs of the Nordic Gods
  Visit the holy grounds of the Nordic Gods. Make sacrifices and recruit powerful yet unpredictable Berserker troops into your army.
  
• Dog Companion
  A loyal canine friend who will stay by your side, even on the battlefield.
  
• Start As Leader of a Faction
  Skip the rise to power and get straight into Reforged Editions expanded kingdom management.
  
• Crouching and Hunting
  Feed your men a better variety of food by hunting wild boar but beware, startle these creatures and they're liable to attack.
  
• Working (minigames)
  Out of luck and out of pennings. Commit yourself to an honest day's work in a quarry, mine or farmstead.
  
• New Ambush System
  There is no greater weapon than the element of surprise; catch your enemies off guard with an ambush attack. Though you must keep your wits about you, or you could be the target of an ambush yourself.
  
• Adventuring Companions
  Companions that leave the player's party from discontent may now strike out on their own as adventurers, gathering their own forces and making their mark on the world.
  
• New Quests and Roleplay Events
  Discover assassination plots, interfere in affairs of religion and more with these new sandbox quests.
  
• Improved Atmosphere
  New ambient sounds and scene contribute to a richer experience in historical Dark Age Britain.
  
• New Items
  Dozens of new weapons and armours as well as updates to old visuals.
  
• Battles
  Improved enemy AI, incorporating tactics and formations add a new dimension to battles. Shock troops such as the Berserkir fight like animals but in the heat of battle may not distinguish friend from foe.
  
• Kingdom Improvements
  Customise your kingdom's colour, ransom prisoners to the enemy and raise your peasants as a levy army in times of need.
  
• Expanded Multiplayer
  New scenes and Raid game mode. Improvements to the UI and additional options for server admins to take control of the invaders in Invasion mode.
  
• More Immersion
  Special player traits and the ability to spread rumours to influence people throughout the land. More lively scenes with domestic animals walking around. Extra information about your companions and the option of a second player outfit for use outside of battle, as well as much more roleplay and many more immersive features.
  
• Customise Your Level of Difficulty and Goals
  Set your own goals to become an Infamous Raider, Strong King, Beloved Warrior and more. Customise your difficulty options to cater your own experience and challenge.

Hello all, just a little update to let you know that the small update you received was to improve the Chinese Translations for the game, which you can select from the game's config window. Shouldn't affect anything else, so don't worry about it if you're not interested in Chinese :).
