VI Saxons
Contents
Introduction
The Saxons are one of the easier factions to play in the Viking Invasion expansion. Their starting position allows them to expand fairly easily, and their unit options are fairly strong.
Starting Provinces and Units
| Provinces | Units |
| Defnas | 1x Peasants |
| Sumorsaete | 1x Fyrdmen |
| West Seaxe | Royal Bodyguards (faction leader), 1x Fyrdmen |
| Dornsaete | 1x Fyrdmen |
Faction Specific Units
Tactics
The Saxons have it good, but not quite as good as the Mercians. There are plenty of rebels to take on, and there are rich lands in the south of the island. Their starting provinces are spread out across the bottom of the island, and West Seaxe is vulnerable to the Mercians.
Conventional wisdom is to take down the Mercians as soon as possible. The longer they have, the more Huscarles you will face in the end. The rebel lands along the coast are tempting, but they are exposed to Viking raids.
