An Axe To Grind is no longer a trope
Deleted line(s) 18,19 (click to see context) :
* AnAxeToGrind: Is it really a Viking game at all if there aren't a couple of axes to grind on the skulls of unsuspecting Christians?
** One-handed axes get skills to hook away their weapons or shields or perform an attack that will avoid damage waste when getting blocked by a nearly broken shield. Daneaxes are by far the most powerful weapons in the game in terms of raw damage output; and they come in [[InfinityPlusOneSword CRUCIBLE STEEL VERSIONS]].

Added DiffLines:
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: You can have around 12 people in your party eventually, but aside from your PC, you can only bring 5 others into most battles or towns. Presumably the others are tending the camp nearby, or guarding the ship, but this seems to be for game balance since it allows enemy groups to have equal or more combatants then you typically do.

* ActionGirl: As usual, half the cast is women, and GenderIsNoObject. Slightly better than ''Conquistador'', seeing that women sometimes could hold prominent roles in early Mediaeval Scandinavian society, at least compared to Britain and Frankia at the time. Most significant characters in Britain are men, so the game doesn't stray far from history.

Shields have a chance of protecting your normal health bar while they hold, but after their bar depletes, they'll provide you no more protection for the duration of the fight. The Brace and Defend skills allow for extra mileage out of shields by respectively replenishing the shield bar and making the shield immune to damage for a turn. Armor itself just reliably reduces damage taken (for more or less depending on the damage sources) always.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The dane-axe is an iconic weapon of the viking age and dwarfs all other weapons in terms of raw damage potential. It also leaves a warrior unable to attack and defend with a shield in the same turn, has diminished armour-defeat capabilities compared to spears or swords, its damage potential is wasted on unarmoured enemies who tend to have low HP anyway, and its abilities are situational at best.

Shields themselves have a small additional health bar in combat [[ArmorAsHitpoints which takes damage instead of their user's health when they block with them]] as long as it's got something, which as per the trope breaks after being inflicted two or three hits usually, five at the most, though the Defend skill will make the user's shield invincible while in use and the Brace skill will allow replenish the user's shield's health seemingly by pushing the wood back in from the handheld side which makes just as much sense as a shield usually breaking in two hits.
