Ancestors. Publisher 1C Company

it will come to PC and Xbox One in Q2 2018. They mark the news with

extended mission walkthrough with 20 minutes of gameplay footage and developer
narration. Here's word:
Watch a single-player mission, in which you’ll
experience the stealthy side of Ancestors Legacy and learn basic combat rules.
Take a peek at its complex mechanics and don’t underestimate the importance of
sneaking about. Care for your squad to become invincible. Choose your opponents
wisely, and remember – some units will be ineffective against others. Use
diversions and lure your enemies to take them out with style.
Ancestors Legacy, with its 4 different nations, offers many different ways of
achieving tactical dominance and overall superiority on the battlefield. The
Vikings from the Norse Kingdoms are more mobile than other units with their
light infantry and cavalry.
Vikings play the role of aggressors in the game, so they don’t have permanent
buildings that may be considered a “base”. Their tactics are based on an
ambush–attack–retreat formula, and it works frightfully well for them. They do
have some simple settlements, though, and it’s worth noting that they are based
on military camps from the 10th – 11th century. The tribe as such is based on
Vikings who lived in the area of modern-day Norway, Sweden, and Denmark in the
period between the 9th and 11th century.
