We covered these new additions and more in [our previous blog](https://steamcommunity.com/games/466560/announcements/detail/543372164837935432).** But we saved some surprises for today! We heard your requests for more skins when the shop update was announced, so we've designed some new ones: - ** Rig, the King of all clans**, returns to the **Clan of the Stag** for a new fight! - **Hagen** also returns to lead the **Clan of the Raven.** - The leaders of the **Southern Kingdom** during the Cross of Vidar saga will also be available! This includes **Lothaire, Carloman and a new look for Nominoe!** We’ve also made some changes to the Map Editor, as we know there are quite a few vikings out there that enjoy making special maps for others to enjoy! From today’s update scripts can be made independently from a map. This means the same script can be played on different maps in custom games.
