I though the Viking as a special habour might be in the best suggestion so far

A special harbour is never a good suggestion. It might be a likely one though

The name is "outpost_hud_vikings_huddecoration". So it is an outpost.

Correct you are, but what is the outpost for? Are we having a new Historical Event and we get a Viking outpost as the reward, is it some undiscovered part of the Virtual Future, are we going to have adventures back in time and that's the first one, or, are they just yanking our chains to see what we do?

I found a bunch of things connected to Vikings, but it all seems to be rather jumbled up. I'm trying to make head or tail of it, but until then, feel free to make your own guesses.

In the bottom image, I've found 4 new goods, which go by the names of:

Axes

Horns

Mead

Wool (courtesy @outoftheline) .

While the image might look frighteningly huge, and certain of these achievements haven't been implemented yet, the one which has caught my attention is in the third-from-last column, and second-from-bottom row (why do I have the feeling that it has something to do with Vikings? Look at the goods, a connection clearly seems to exist).

In the attached image, that same achievement icon is repeated. Upon parsing the XML file, the name turns out to be 'outpost_hud_vikings_huddecoration'

All of this is is giving me a feeling that something related to Vikings is coming to town. I doubt it would be an event (why would we have goods then?), it can't be a new era (VF just started, no building/army etc. images yet), so what IS this!?

I love new things

That was what I meant, closest to the actual

With the name outpost I think it's even more likely.

Or... and if we presume that it will be for players who have reached the end of VF, it could be a gate to a theme park a bit like the serie Westworld ?

I'd rather think it will be something for everyone.
Why should they limit "it" to VF players?
VF players have enough new stuff to play with.

Yes, I was trying to figure out how this Vinking world would be introduced by Inno. But I certainly agree that it would be much better that it is for every player.
I also imagined that it could be a new way to start the game. You could start as a Viking or as the usual "forger".

Interesting. The words "no age" and "outpost" So yes, as suggested by several others before, it could be that a Viking country is discovered and accessed to via the outpost. As we also have the "diplomacy" key word, we might not have to fight them

so it would be a cooperation or trade relationship. But I wonder how it would impact our cities. Would that give more attack / defensive skills, hapiness (through mead....), PF, etc ????

PS. This is probably the best spoiler we had in a very long time

Or even more!

Yeah.. co-op gameplay

I have to agree with this.

Personally I'm hoping this has something to do with the hinted at changes to GvG (check the recent webcast on facebook - no details, but something is afoot). "Deplomacy" could certainly fit with that.

I'll put my diplomatic suit on....

DeletedUser5097 · Sep 29, 2018

Maybe it's part of making events more intressting. Many event stuff has
no age within it's information. Halloween would bring us new event
missions, so maybe it could be something like it. Or it's the first begin
of a colony.

Sorry to go off-topic just a bit, but how do you access in-game files?
EDIT: Found the way

Hello and I have some news about Vikings.

And I found a lot of more. But for may of them I do not find picture.

so is a new era...it couldn't be a new era after virtual future (for obvious reasons) so the question is, if the era becomes after iron age of example, what will happen with the technological three of any player above iron age? we will have a full era with non investigated technology? we must investigate that era in order to keep investigating more technology of our era?
anyways, i love the winter theme.

or maybe this will ve a huge event where we will be able to put a skin to our townhall if we don't like the desing of our actual townhall?

Silveralius · Sep 30, 2018

It is a outpost. I found images with names like embassy and outpost. And I have images with quest givers and graphics to quest background and some treasures.
I think is something new like expeditions feature.
