A Norwegian strategy game made by father and son
Battle of Norway
From Viking chieftains to kings and sea heroes — build your power and shape your own part of Norwegian history.
Battle of Norway
A realm worth fighting for
Battle of Norway is a real-time strategy game drawn from Norwegian history. Build a settlement, gather timber, food and gold, raise an army, and face the computer or a friend. Victory comes when you capture the enemy stronghold — or when none of their people remain.
Four civilizations, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Four maps shaped by real Norwegian cities. Behind every map and civilization lies a story — written, illustrated and narrated.
Strategy
Build your road to victory
Gather
Workers fell timber, pick berries, tend fields and mine gold. Trade at the market when your resources fall out of balance.
Arm
Train spearmen, archers, musketeers, cavalry and knights. Research new techniques, from iron ploughs to hardened steel.
Fight
Send your army on the march, order it to defend or hold position. Capture the stronghold and victory is yours.
Civilizations
Four ways to command
01
Warriors of the Gulating
Eric Bloodaxe
Raw strength and a swift food economy — but no gunpowder weapons and weak walls.
Housecarl — resists arrows and strikes faster as comrades fall.
02
Tordenskjold's Sea Steeds
Peter Wessel Tordenskjold
Long range and a strong gold economy — but vulnerable infantry.
Musketeer — a gunpowder unit with devastating force.
03
The Scottish King's Clans
Alexander III of Scotland
Fast infantry and fierce charges — but small, fragile horses.
Highlander — the first strike hits hard, and every kill charges another assault.
04
The Baglers
Nikolas Arnesson
Strong castles, heavy knights and well-armoured infantry — built at a slower pace.
Knight — a heavily armoured mounted warrior.
Norway
Battle across historic cities
Tønsberg
Norway's oldest city. Slottsfjellet and Tunsberghus command the centre while Byfjorden cuts in from the east.
Bergen
The city among seven mountains. Vågen divides the land, forcing every crossing through narrow passes near Bryggen.
Nidaros
Saint Olav's city by the Nidelva. The river curls around Midtbyen and Nidaros Cathedral; its fords hold the key.
Oslo
The medieval city of Anslo. Nordmarka provides timber, Akerselva divides the map, and Akershus guards the fjord.
Tønsberg · Bergen · Nidaros · Oslo
Explore the history
Every map and civilization has its own story. Read about Norway's cities, rulers and conflicts through historic images, maps and sources — or listen in Norwegian or English while the text follows the narrator sentence by sentence. More than five hours of narration in all.
Skirmish
Against the computer — or each other
Play one against one over a local network, where games find each other automatically, or online through direct IP. Choose your civilization, chat and signal Ready for battle in the lobby.
A Gentle Start
A measured pace and room to learn the game.
A Worthy Challenge
Balanced resistance that demands a sound economy, defence and military build-up.
No Mercy
Aggressive, efficient and guided by a formidable strategic overview.

Made by father and son
Battle of Norway is made by a father and son. The idea was simple: a strategy game where the cities, chieftains and battles are our own. The result became a game to play — and a history to discover.
