The Scots/Irish/Vikings/Saxons/Northumbrians/Welsh and Picts are all factions in Viking Invasion. They do not need 'unlocking' as such, as they are not in the original MTW.
However, it is possible (I believe) to unlock certain factions which appear later on, The Golden Horde, Burgundians and Swiss. There could be some more but I rarely play the game that long!
I can't say I even have the game yet, but I think, Insane Man, that he is talking about the XL mod guides.
In which case, Icy Dog, I recommend you buy or find Viking Invasion, and whence you have it in your possession, download the XL mod.
It will give you, if I observe honestly, over 30 factions to conquer and vassalize.
Nice to see some activity here at the weekend!
The unlockable idea doesn t really apply to MTW + VI. The Welsh, Scottish and Irish are all playable in the VI expansion of the original MTW , but on a new enlarged map of Britain and Norway/Sweden.
Some factions become "available"at a later date eg 1205 and you can play them just by choosing the HIGH or Late period.
XL (Viking Horde) and other mods have also "unlocked "factions so that they are available.
i have MTW VI gold, but still have no access to these factions do i need to play VI through to the campaign game or something.Quote:

Thanks for that. But my post wasnt very clear let me reiterate. Can you play as irish or scots in the late period or are certain factions stuck in the VI campaign.
Mr Young fankin yu:bow:
The Viking campaign factions are only available in the Viking campaign - in the vanilla MTW campaigns the Scots, Irish, Welsh etc are represented by rebels. However, they are available in a number of mods for the main campaign (such as XL or BKB) - it may be a bit early to be leaping straight into playing mods (you need to play the original to appreciate the new features, factions and other improvements :laugh4: ), but the option is always there :bow:
I may be new to the forum, but by no means new to MTW, or and of the TW series. As i am sure you would one day learn if we ever met in battle, thanks for pointing me in the direction of the mods though.Quote:
