Game idea

Game idea
My game idea is based around the age of the viking i have research a vast amount about the viking and have learnt about what they wear and how they lived and how they fought. I want to concentrate my idea on the vikings who traveled to britain and the raids that began in ireland. I have sketched an idea of what my main viking warrior will look like. The main characters name will be named Thorlak and as hinted is his name is a decendant of the norse god Thor the god of thunder, he is the leader of the viking army traveling to britain, he is given the role of leader mainly because of his skill in battle and himself being aa demi god.
Story
Brief of beggining.
The story begins on the boat of the vikings and making your way towards England, vikings on the ship are drinking ale and shouting and roaring about England and how they want to take it. The main charcter Thorlak keeps to himself and waits for the battle (action happenes on the boat e.g mythical creature, or a boat attack). When the vikings reach England, the British are already waiting for them upon shore, this will seem similar to the attack on the beach in saving private Ryan.

 After Battle

After the battle is won by the vikings  there will be much fewer number the vikings. Throughout the game it will progress in time and it will show the year it is in when changing. The weather and scenery will change depending on the time of year e.g autum,winter etc. So after the battle, the vikings will have a series of raids throughout England and with special sequences includes raids in Ireland with some winning and some meant to be lost. Once the raids are finished the plot will thicken and have added a plot that does not relate to the history but is still in context.

The plot.
Once won all the territory they want Thorlak feels not fulfilled and wants more glory. So in doing so he wants to find the king of england and take his throne. This will begin a army building process, leading you to meet foreign people and English with the hatred of the king. These people will help you do find sources and better posts throughout the map and as you gain these posts and upgrade them you will increase in soldiers to fight for you. Although the game is concentrated on the Vikings I will give the opportunity after completing the first time to go back and play as the English defending there land from the Vikings like a slight resistance. Between the army building Thorlak will go through tricky paths and fight mythical monsters hidden in the land such as: grendel, a dragon, sea serpent, and even meet a ghost of Beowulf and have to fight him for a secret weapon which will include powers of Beowulf and also armour of Beowulf which will be the best armour in the game.
Thorlak
Thorlak will gain powers on the way in the element of lighting which will help him fight the mythical creatures and also the soldiers. He will also be sent back and fourth from the heavens by Thor to learn new powers and skills which will be individual levels in the heavens.

 This is the look i want for my main charcter. i kept to the history refrences adding a tunic and cape and also a bone brooch on his shoulder for better movments with the sword and also gave him a historically correct helmet because the vikings didnt actually have horns on their helmets.. i also added a brooch that has the symbol of lighting to relate him to Thor the god of hunder. Igave him the standard weapons for a viking solider but throughout the game you will be able to create and find better looking and better stats weapons.
