  This DLC allows you to play as Pagans. This means you can now play as.. Vikings, Mongols, Slavs, Zorastrians, Sami, and romuvan. If you have the ruler designer there are also a couple more less fleshed out pagans to play as too. But the real kicker is the ability to play as Norse and the Tengri (Mongols). This also adds an earlier start date to the game, however the earlier date's value can be debatable. It makes playing a viking much more fun but Europe can look really messy with all the Karlings inheriting Karling land, and it makes all the fun later game stuff like mongols take much longer to happen, which can force a game to end prematurly. Either way, this DLC is by far the greatest addition to CK2 (at the time of this review Charlemagne has not come out yet, although that still looks like it adds less). Sure, Rajas adds Inida, which is huge, but Old Gods adds so much more, just in playable charectors and situations.

  For those of us Britons that yearn for our Saxon Ancestry this game offers a much more promising start date than the default. Fight of the invaders and don't pay the Danelaw! 5/5

  [h1]Playing as Vikings[/h1] [i]Lo there I see my father...[/i] Hell yeah. Playing as a Norse is so much fun. All the raiding, pillaging and invading is enjoyable. At least to the point where it gets hilariously easy when you get around 2000 Gold + 2000 Prestige in one go by raiding Italy including Rome and Venice, Greece, Constantinopel, and even the yet to be Holy Lands. Maxing out all of your counties even those that you don't own while steamrolling Europe with your pagan single-border casus belli will give you plenty of hours of joy. Buuuut. After that it really gets quite lame. The raiding becomes repetetive (who knew) and the inability of the AI to defend itself makes it even worse. There really won't be much of a challenge as the Christian states are highly unlikely to declare a holy war on you and even if they do you destroy them with ease. I do recommend The Old Gods when you want to play as a Viking. [h1]Playing as England[/h1] If you want to learn the basic game mechanics I can recommend playing as an Irish ruler. You can raid but wont be in imminent danger of being wiped out immediately. Unlike when you play as Wessex. And oh my god that is a nightmare. Having 20k Vikings right at your doorstep is quite intimidating when you command a maximum of 5k men into battle. The only way I managed to beat them was by hiring mercenaries with the money I earned from my marriage and joining forces with my allied Britains. And holy balls. I won. Aaaaand hello Denmark Invasion! Here, friend. Take another 20k Vikings on a conquest to steamroll your lands! Bullshit. Don't believe the DLC description stating that you can "defend your lands against the invading heathens". You will be very disappointed.

  Two words: FUCKING VIKINGS Sets the game's starting point back and allows you to pillage and burn just like the Vikings did. Woohoo! This Expansion also adds alot of other religious options in general, and is not merely focused upon those magnificently bearded men from Scandinavia. Plenty to like here. :D

  If you purchase any of the gazillion DLC for this game, get this one. Muslims can bite me, Capitalism can Bite me, Aztecs can bite me, Abraham can bite me, Romans can bite me, Indians can bite me, Horses can bite me, Karloman can bite me, my garbage council can bite me. This unlocks the Norse, Tengri, Slavic and Baltic (In game as Romuva) pagans to play. Plus a brand slapping new start date in 867, so you to can have a fresh appreciation for exactly how much your ancestors hated those fucking vikings. Hope you like raids. Because once you hit that start button, its like Attila the Hun was made out of boats.

  10/10 for the content but 0/10 because Paradox took roleplaying too far and decided to raid our wallets.

  As a practicing pagan I really enjoy this because it allows me to play as a viking war cheif. However, I would like to know how to convert conqured lands to my more civilized faith lol
